Welcome to the 1960's, where there's soda pops in the OG glass bottles here, there, and EVERYWHERE!!! My soda pop knowledge is limited to the normal ones like cream soda, orange creamsicle, coca cola, and etc, but this store just blows my mind with all its unique flavors! Asian Ramune Soda? Check Bacon Soda? Check Original Buffalo Wing Soda? Check. Check. Check! I got the Kitty Piddle (pineapple & orange) and zee bf got a Triple Melon Lemonade (watermmelon, honeydew AND cantaloupe) and they were both yums, but I'm pretty sure they are all as delicious! And if you're not in the mood for soda, get some candy! They have candy from all over the world, from Japan with it's Sakura or Green-Tea flavored Kit-Kats, 1990's popular Ring Pop's, to Ritter Sport chocolates from Germany and Kinder Chocolate from Italy. Whatever you crave, I'm sure you'll find something it at this store. But here's the best part: they have a stamp card for the soda pops! Buy 10, get one free. Better start drinking those pops today! read more

We happen to bump into this cute little shop. So much to look at and so many choices to choose from. There are tons of different flavors of sodas, I believe they are arranged by flavors. If you want a cold one, they have a large variety of sodas in their cooler. The sodas are crazy! I've never seen so many different kinds of soda and some of them I've never seen before. I loved the different candy they had from different places. They have grapevines like red vines..wow...different flavor kit kats. Although, their hi chews are a bit expensive...I believe the flavors were different. They also have a lot different signs that you can purchase. If you are a Justin Bieber fan...they have life size cut outs for $35. Not too bad to have Justin in your arms! I got a juicy pear soda. It was good tasted just like the real jelly bean. I loved it. You can buy in packs (choose the ones you want) or individual if you'd like. -Go look around! Quite awesome. read more

I've never given a bad review, mainly because I usually just respect the effort behind most endeavors. It's hard, I get it. But this place. Yikes. It might've taken them time to arrange everything and I guess that's difficult, however, this place is easily the biggest rip-off I've ever experienced. Period. Ever. I bought 6 things and it was $17. A few chocolate bars and a nerd rope. Like good lord, these people are thieves. And don't give me the "import/rare item" talk. I can get a pound of incredible and fresh Swedish candy from Sockerbit by the grove for less than $17. I would say I have no clue how these people are still in business but then I remember I spent $17 for some stuff that should cost $10 at most. read more

Nostalgia. They have all the candy from your childhood, and for those of you that have been abroad, you'll be ecstatic to know that they also carry candy that you thought you could only find in Europe. read more

This place is interesting. It is kind of pricey, but you pay for the novelty and nostalgia of the soda, candy, and snacks. It markets itself as a classic pop and candy shop from the 40s 50s and 60s. It is pretty cool to check out and the names of most of the sodas almost force you to throw money at the cashier to try it. I will be back. -Tej read more

Very cute old school candy shop in Westwood. They have a bunch of hard to find candies, soda flavors, and unique old school knick knacks and toys, perfect for stocking stuffers. Prices are very reasonable given the fact that they are hard to find candies. Also, for all my Asian friends at UCLA, they have the elusive green tea kit kats here! Which are nearly impossible to find outside of Korea Town. read more

I just like how it looks mostly lol, did find the Hawaiian candy i like, but too expensive for me at the moment! did try out some jelly beans i've never had before. And the tin reproduced signs are awesome, I wanted a couple of them actually (haha) read more

See all

They have every kind of candy and soda under the sun! Even the foreign and hard-to-find kinds, like Green Tea Kit Kat, Kinder Buenos, and Milka! They also have every soda pop flavor you can imagine; the good, the bad, and the weird. You can find flavors such as passion fruit, pie, guava, buffalo wing, ranch dressing, pbj, bacon, and celery. So if you've got a massive sweet tooth, this is your wonderland! read more

There is nothing wrong with this retro like candy shop that we stumbled into one day! There walls are lined with soda bottles of all different flavors. Do you like bacon? There is a whole section just devoted to bacon- gumballs, soda, sticks, you name it and I bet they have it. They also have vintage lunch boxes of all kinds! And so much candy! I was mesmerized by all the different varieties! Some things I have never heard of. But then... ZOTS! Oh how I love the sweetness at first and then a burst of sour and fizz! These are rare to find, but good ole' Rocket Fizz had them. I bought a bag and shared them with the family. They were gone so quick! My dad went back to buy me more. This was a surprisingly, delicious, put a smile on my face, find! read more

This place is every child's dream. They seem to have every single candy under the sun. Even the foreigns too. For example, I knew they made different flavors of kit kat bars that can't be purchased anywhere local but they have the foreign ones here! It's amazing. The best part about this shop is the sodas. All of them made with natural sugar cane. The varieties of soda here are endless. One of the most strange flavor I found here is the bacon soda which I have yet to try and afraid to even attempt to. All sugar lovers, this place is a must go. I love it and next time I am in LA I would be back. read more

Very cool retro candy store. Not only do they have vintage candy, but they also have international flavor too. The Japanese candy section is particularly big. It's smart on their part knowing there's a big international student population nearby at UCLA. It's not the cheapest candy, but people love sweets and they'll pay for scarcity. One of the funniest items there is their sodas which range from super sweet to bacon and buffalo wings soda. What a nice find in Westwood! read more

AWESOME SELECTION OF SODA! This place is definitely really fun. Very expensive, but there's a lot of random memorabilia and random things you could definitely gift to people here. They have so many candies and sodas! read more

Great place to walk around and check out. It's really exciting to see all the interesting and unique collection of sodas and candy they have. Per drink, it's approximately $2.50 or something like that... Some of the soda that have can be as regular as 7-up to as unheard of such as buffalo wing soda! Too scared to give that a try myself, but if you do, let me know how it tastes! :) read more

I love a candy store. This place carries a combination of candy and soda and it has a fantastic selection. Lots of hard to find candies, interesting sodas, and themed selections of both candy and sodas. Some of my favorites were the many Harry Potter items and the Sonic the Hedgehog energy drink. The decor of the store is really cute- it has a 50s retro vibe. This is a great place to come for gifts. I came in once to get a ton of sodas for a friend's birthday because they love unusual drinks and they were over the moon about the items I got. The store is well curated and has lots of interesting items! The reason I give this place four stars instead of five is because it is pricey. There's a bit of a mark up on everything. This isn't the cheapest place to buy the things this store sells. The mark ups aren't insane, though- they're understandable because this is a specialty store. Overall, this place is really fun, cute, and a great place to get a gift. read more

Rocket Fizz is the best place to find any candy you are craving. They have a huge selection of candy. They have chocolates, sodas, and more. They have some selection on comics and a lot of pop culture items. They even have imported candy that you will not find anywhere else. This is a very big store that is never crowded. Parking kind of sucks since it is in the middle of Westwood. They also have some items that are a little overpriced but nothing too major. If you want something sweet then this should be your go to place. read more

Rocket Fizz - Heaven - Candy Stores Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I stumbled onto this store when I was walking through Brentwood one day, and I'm so glad I did. This place has EVERY kind of soda you could ever imagine. The staff was very friendly and helped me recommend the best sodas to get. I wasn't sure how many I wanted to get but ended up going with a four pack. I was recommended a blue cream soda and it was the best soda I've ever had. A root beer that was recommended was also very good but I was not impressed with the banana soda I grabbed. The diversity and crazy flavors (black licorice and pumpkin pie to name some) make this place very unique and a definitely must-try if you're in the area. I highly recommend the Frostie Blue Ceam Soda! read more

It's nice that they have so many different sodas for just $2.19 but I think you should be careful of which you buy. For instance, they have IBC for $2.19, but for like a dollar more (2.99+crv) you can get a six pack of them at Ralphs. Bundaberg on the other hand will set you back $7 for a four pack at Bevmo ($1.78 each) (Although I hate their root beers). I've also seen Virgil's for $1.49 at Marukai, so that too has a less steep markup. Anyways, it's nice that they have such a large selection. read more

Sugar makes me hyper. I felt like I was 5 again. One time when I was 5, I tore through my aunt's screen door because I was locked out and I ran around like a maniac. Thank you Rocket Fizz for bringing me back to those days of gummy bears and bubble gum. Double bubble, and black forest gummy bears were a staple of my childhood diet. I'm surprised I didn't have any cavities as a kid. Anyhow, you know that scene in Harry Potter where Ron and Hermione are eating the jelly beans of every flavor? Well, when I saw the sodas, that's what i was reminded of. I found bacon flavored soda along with buffalo wing flavored soda. Oh god. Why!? Who would invent such a thing. Anyway, aside from being thoroughly amused with the wide flavors of sodas, I was also entertained by the life size poster boards of celebrities, superheroes and old school lunch boxes. Every candy I remember eating as a kid was there along with other ones I never heard of. The price was fair, about $5 per pound. read more

Tons of candy and lots of different sodas. This could become a destination for Westsiders looking to avoid a trip to Galco's in Highland Park. $2.19 for a single bottle of soda, which is admittedly steep. But I believe the price goes down the more you buy, and they have a punch-card program--8 punches and you get a free soda. I hope they stick around--Westwood could use a new store! read more

It's nice to see something fun for the whole family pop up in Westwood. Rocket Fizz seems like a perfect addition to the UCLA surrounds, with sodas and candy galore. It has a retro vibe, with the different sodas lined up by flavors (grape in one section, basic dark colas in another, cherry, and on and on) all around the store, with the shelves above the sodas piled high with modern and old-school candies alike. Each soda will cost you $2.19 and the varieties of candies range in price. They also have retro-styled tin signs for sale, along with little metal lunchboxes to show off your kitsch style. The bright color displays really make you feel like you're a sugar-addicted kid in a candy store, which you are or will be after coming here a few times. They even have a 8-soda punch card that you entitles you to a free soda after you buy 8. Granted, that's basically getting 10% back after spending $20; but it's the loyalty aspect and the thought that counts, right? It was hard to not want to grab candies to go along with my sodas, since there was everything from Chupa Chups, to gummies, to Grapevines (yes, grape-flavored Red Vines), to specialty chocolate bars from the UK and beyond, as well as many varieties of M&Ms that you often only see seasonally. It definitely doesn't have a comprehensive selection of soda. It was rather lacking on the ginger ale/beer/soda (all non-alcoholic, of course) front, although it still had about 10-12 varieties. The extremely extensive selection of root beer that takes up two aisles may make up for it; it at least merits a look or two. Ah, if only there were a tasting area. Tip: Bring a bag to carry home your sugar stash. It seemed they only had rather weak plastic bags or a cardboard 4-pack to put your precious bottles of soda in. Oh, and they have 4-packs of Butter Beer! Yes, that Butter Beer! Fly in and get some the next time you're in Westwood. I will. read more

Rocket Fizz is an amazing, little candy and soda shop that you must visit whenever you are in Westwood Village! Some of these soda names were hilarious such as "Bacon Soda", "Snooki's Wild Red Cherry", and even "Kim Jong Ill CODE ORANGE ALERT". Vintage candy made an appearance here as well as candy from all over the world. For instance, I found some green tea flavored Kit Kat bar that I would like to try someday since the flavor sounds fascinating in its own way. Moreover, retro-looking tin lunch boxes were a perfect addition to this shop! Overall, Rocket Fizz is definitely going to do great here in a college area such as UCLA. read more

Rocket Fizz is amazing. I love candies and so do they. At Rocket Fizz not only do you find an abundance of all sorts of candy, you also will find some foreign imports you may not have seen before. I arrived searching for something new and would have bought everything in the store if my health could afford that. I ended up going for new twists on some old classics. I got some "panda" Pocky candy and a box of Sakura Maccha Latte Kit-Kats that did not disappoint. I have to say that I need to return to try more of their sodas. I went with a Melon Ramune that was really refreshing but there were so many to choose from. This store has a lot of interesting stuff from bacon chap stick to their assortments of international candies. I will definitely be back to try out some more delicious chocolates, candies and sodas. read more

I'm a lover of soda. This place is for lovers of soda. They have so many flavors. Most are made with sugar not corn syrup. So, if you love candy and soda, this is your place. Walking through the store was like walking through memory lane from when I was a kid. The only thing missing was baseball cards. Rockey Fizz reminded me of going to the corner store with my brothers and watching them make their candy and baseball card purchases for the week. I spent the remainder of my time here at a party on the second floor watching a movie in their special party room. read more

This place is GREAT! It has such a wide assortment of soda flavors and tons of different brands as well! They also have lots of different kinds of candy, both old school brands that are hard to find as well as some new ones, and a selection of Asian candies as well. If you buy in 4/6/8/12 packs, you can save, and they also have frequent buyer cards for those who just want to get one on the go at a time. It reminds me of what I've heard about Galco, and I want to go there even more now!! This is such a great addition to Westwood, a great idea for a college town! I see this place lasting a very long time =) read more

This place is fantastic! It's like a candy/soda shoppe of old and they have just about every flavor and variety you can imagine. The sodas are sold individually, so there's no 6-pack commitment if you want to try something new. My favorite is the supply of import candies, a lot of which I fell in love with during my time in Europe. If you haven't tried a British Cadbury Cream Egg, you're missing out! You're definitely paying for the selection, but it's totally worth it! read more

I really like this shop. I was walking through Westwood, and just happened to pass this place. On a whim, I stopped inside (which ended up becoming a 30 minute stop), and I felt like a kid again. There were so many sodas to choose from, some with really funny names. I found a Ryan cola and had to grab that (since that's my name). I ended up getting 4 sodas altogether, just because with so much variety, I had to try a few. Some soda bottle shapes are also kinda unique, so after I drank them, I ended up saving a few and they're now displayed on my bookcase. As for candies, they have tons. It was like a blast from the past. I didn't end up getting any because if I'd just get one, I'd want to get more and more. I really felt like i discovered Willy Wonka's Chocolate (or in this case candy) Factory! Only down side... the price of the sodas and candies were kinda expensive. I think each soda I bought ended up being over $2 a bottle. read more

This place is so much fun! I love trying new sodas and they have tons of old, rare, and foreign candy! They also have basic candies you can get at almost any grocery store--don't buy that here, it's fairly expensive and overpriced, but it's definitely worth it to buy the more hard to find stuff here! read more

YES! This place is absolutely amazing. Just because they have almost every candy I use to have when I was a kid. It brought back the good old memories of my childhood. They not only have lots of different types of candies but they also have lots of different soda pops as well. The only down side to this place is that the candy is more expensive than what they use to cost when I was a kid. Well I guess I need to pay premium to go back to the good old days. read more

Walked in the store before dinner, my fiancé and i told her we would come back. Soon as we walk out she locks the door. Never will i go back in there. read more

The lady who helped me was so nice! And the selection they have is unbelievable. I found a bob Ross energy drink!

They have a bunch of foreign candies from all over the world. Of course i got the bag of green tea kit kat, they had a huge sign on their sidewalk advertising that they had it in stock! The bag was $9.99!!! My boyfriend got some weird sodas that would be cool to collect as they are some funky flavors. You can find so many unique, unimaginable things in here. It was fun looking around. Other things we walked out with were some kitkat bars and milka chocolates. The only downside is that it is pretty pricey. Even the more "cheap" items such as the Hello Pandas and Pockeys (which you can find at stores like target for a dollar) were way too overpriced. BUT i feel like this is a touristey-store (there were some tourists browsing) so i guess its understandable. read more

Everyone in there was helpful and nice. It had everything! Got some Razzle's and some candy cigarettes. It had everything I remember from my childhood! read more
