    I've been to a few Rocket Fizz establishments and this one was consistent with the others, if not maybe a bit smaller. They had all the typical fare and tons of options for drinks and candy. There were some interesting toys, like the goth cats, and tons of signs for sale.. again, all typical for the store.

    Whenever I'm on Central I'm going to make a stop. I like Rocket Fizz because it has jumbo sizes of Candy I can't get in a regular store. It's a nostalgic candy, novelty, soda, odd finds gift shop!! They are really stocked with every candy brand imaginable. It's so visually stimulating. I just go inside and can find pb & j soda or pickle flavored lollipops. It definitely looks like a store you'd find in L. A. or see in an old 80's movie. If you have time stop by...and bring your sweet tooth! Also be prepared to be there for a half an hour atleast- it's going to take you back to your childhood for sure!!

    Stopped in while walking around the area, since we really don't live close to one of these anymore. We like to stroll in and look around at all the various candy and sodas they have. They even had a table full of 80s candy. Definitely brought back memories!! Staff was nice and welcoming. The store is laid out well with plenty of room to walk around without being in anyone's way.

    This was one of my favorite discoveries during a recent trip to St. Petersburg. Opened in 2019, they occupy the space formerly held by Daddy Kool Records. Rocket Fizz was founded Ryan and Rob who started their business by selling fake dog doodoo and other novelties. There are also stores in Wesley Chapel and Clearwater along with 90 other Rocket Fizz stores. Rocket Fizz is famous for the 500 kinds of soda which include traditional flavors like root beer, birch beer, and cream soda, and more out there flavors like s'mores, mustard, bacon with chocolate, fungal fruit, dinosaur dung, ranch, and buffalo wing. I am still mad at myself for not picking up the pineapple whip. The birthday cake soda would make the perfect gift for anyone celebrating their special day. They had my favorite Japanese Ramune but for much more than it costs me when I pick it up at the local Asian market. This would be five stars for the soda selection alone but that is not all they sell. They are also the purveyor of every kind of candy imaginable. Nostalgic favorites are on the shelf along with the latest and greatest. Are you brave enough to try the scorpion jewels with real scorpions or how about the chocolate dipped insects? Maybe the giant gummy bears and tootsie pop is more to your taste. Ham flavored candy canes? I loved the Harry Potter section. After browsing the store I finally narrowed my selection down to the Unicorn Yack soda, a chocolate candy by Chuao called Sprinkle Dreams which was a waffle cone piece with hazelnut, rainbow sprinkles, and chocolate, and Hi-Chew candy in my favorite flavor, grape. They have a bottle opener to pop your soda open and some are twist cap. This store is so fun and I hope they come to South Florida.

    All the goods!

    This place is so cool! Every candy and soda you can think of Novelty and not Got my chili chocolate fix as well as a maple flavored bacon soda I reduced and used as a glaze on some ribs I made. I spent way too long here lol

    Tons of flavored soda

    Adorable candy shop right on Central. The store is jam-packed with candies and novelty items. It also has tons and tons of flavored soda. Literally anything you could imagine. The candies are more along the non-chocolate side. The staff was also a very nice. Great vibe in the store!

    One of the coolest places I have visited in downtown St Pete. This place has a huge variety of soda and candy and many more things. Unfortunately I was only able to be here for 15 minutes so I didn't get to explore as much as I want. But if you are an avid fizz fan whether it be soda or candy , I highly recommend checking out this place. Furthermore, they have a nice selection of tin decorations with a lot of different sayings on them. Def coming back to purchase one on a later time.

    Lots of fun sodas, signs and candy. I have to deduct a star for their prices. Way too high for what you get. Pop has no prices posted. You'd think people would question that, right? They did and were ignored. The taxes are odd too. I've never seen taxes like this before (see pic below).

    This is a new retro candy spot. It's so cute inside and lots of cool stuff. It's fun for all age. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They have a lot of different candys and toys. They have yummy unique sodas. I got the Chocolate strawberry soda, a banana chocolate candy bar, black jack gum and pepper black licorice. I'm excited to try it all. Definitely recommend going here.

    If you are a candy and side fan, this is your place. I am not a fan of either one but they have something for everyone. It is just a cool, fun place to walk into and look around. We ended up buying quite a bit.

Upon entering I was greeted by a gorgeous counter display of chocolate-y yumminess e.g., truffles of all flavors and other tempting treats had my salivating like Pavlov's dog.

It's August and I was drawn in by the promise of ice cold AC and a chocolate covered banana. How could I resist? It was heaven. I chose the dark chocolate (milk is also available). It was smooth and creamy with just enough nuts. The banana was firm and rip and perfectly frozen -- not too sweet and perfect for a hot hot hot summer day. The staff was friendly. The shop was quaint and clean. The kind of specialty chocolate shop I would expect to find nestled in a small Bavarian village. The chocolates are made in house. They also offer strawberries and cream and hot chocolate. Chocolate making classes are available too. Don't skip this lovely shop, it is a chocolate lover's dream!

We ordered two large coffees, two ham, egg, and cheese open-faced croissants, and a blueberry scone. I wasn't used to having a breakfast sandwich served open-faced, but I'm officially a fan now. The croissant was flaky, buttery, and paired perfectly with the ham, egg, and cheese. Every bite was delicious. The coffee was exactly what we needed to start the morning, and everything together made for a fantastic breakfast. If you're looking for a cozy spot with fresh pastries, great coffee, and a relaxing way to start your weekend, this is definitely worth a visit.

I came up Cassis Market advertising pizza so I popped in and ordered on with pepperoni, sausage and ham. One slice came to nearly $7. The man behind the counter was polite but uninterested. He looked like he wished he could be anywhere but there. I took my pizza out to eat at their outside table. I took a bite. Man was it stiff. And that was at the point where it's usually the best part. I kept eating and crunching. No moisture at all. Some flavor but not enough to justify the cost or enduring the hardness. The ham was hard. The pepperoni was all curled up and looked overcooked. The sausage was just OK. I was hungry but I left half of it and threw it in the trash. It sat in my stomach like I had swallowed an anvil. Now I must say I selected this from a whole pizza in the display case. It was not a piece that had been lingering there for a long time. My slice was the first slice from the pie so I was taken aback by it's texture and hardness. Cassis Market - NOT recommended.

I love the lunch deal and hand made sandwiches that make a quick and affordable meal. I had so much nostalgia from treats I have not seen in years.

The staff is amazing and within a couple times meeting Eddie I consider him my friend. You never know what new items you will find at the corner store but it will be delightful either way.

I need to be better about taking pictures, but the jam selection was unreal. I got the Wild Black Raspberry as recommended by the employee. He said it was his personal fav, and WOW, I can see why!! I paired in with some feta wrapped in some well-buttered phyllo sheets, and it was *chef's kiss*. As a matter of fact, I added MORE of the jam after taking it out of the oven. I also got a block of Gouda cheese, which is imported from the Netherlands by a local couple here. Crazy!!! I'm excited to try it soon. I'll update this review whenever I get a chance to try. This little shop was super cute and had exactly what I needed! Small little corner store, just as it says. Friendly service and 10/10 jams. They had other amazing options like Apricot, Blueberry, and some savory options like Garlic Onion and Bacon something. Yum!!! I think this place is a spot for local businesses/vendors to sell their things, because they also had Kahwa coffee grounds which is a local coffee spot here (I think). Love a local business that supports local businesses!!!
