Wow! Fun, Fun, Fun... a must stop in SLO! So this is my second location I have visited of Rocket Fizz, and favorite one so far! The high ceilings filled with nostalgia, great vibes, all the beverages and treats you can imagine, and so clean and well stocked! I got to chat with a couple of the super chill and sweet employees who were so helpful, and who humored me with the "Awe" I was demonstrating! I truly was like a kid in a candy store, LOL! Completely recommend checking out this place, refreshments and sweetness galore! Yay!!!
$$$$$ Its a cute shop, lots of different flavored sodas. Some interesting candies but many can be bought at CVS or 7-11. I get it, its a tourist shop but I was very surprised by the final cost. Young lady blond short hair with hand brace was SO NOT into her work atmosphere. I asked the flavor of the gift sodas she shrugs "same just with food coloring". One was cream one was berry flavored. We were talking about the Dubai chocolates not asking her the prices w/o looking up she rambles off 14, 12 and 11. I guess she was asked too many times the prices? Fun store but expensive.
Soo much sugar! What a cool candy store. Soo many choices. Reasonable prices. Cute signs too!
This place will take you back in time and around the world on all the different candies. 5 star for there selection and decorations of the place. It was well organized and brought back a lot of memories. 4 stars for the customer service, maybe they were tired after a long day so will give grace. The person at the cashier didn't know where they hold there sour candies. I eventually found it on my own.
When was the last time you could find your favorite soda pop from back in the day? How about a few more modern, unique selections such as pickle, sweet corn or enchilada flavored soda pop? Yes, they carry them here! The bright, inviting interior houses a wide selection of regular & hard-to-find candies, taffy, liquid refreshments, collectible memorabilia and unique gifts. It's a fun atmosphere with pop culture props and a bicycle built for two (tandem bicycle) hanging from the ceiling in the center of the store. Located downtown on Higuera Street, Rocket Fizz fills a niche in SLO. If you're looking to find a gift or unique item for a hard-to-shop-for person, this store can help create a nice gift basket for you. The employees we talked with are very knowledgeable, enthusiastic & pleasant. Rocket Fizz offers something for children & adults alike.
The hard-to-find Zero bar is here! Along with my childhood faves like Hubba Bubba and Bubble Yum gum that I haven't seen in 47 years! We heard about the Gum Wall and had to contribute. I love candy shops all over the country, and this one doesn't disappoint. If you're missing something from your childhood, you'll probably find it here.
Great place for nostalgia and fun! We saw a wide variety of candies and drinks from our childhood! Very helpful employees who were friendly named Jeremiah and Madden. They had a great playlist! And an even greater attitude. They made sure we had everything we needed to wrap up a wonderful trip to this location. Thank you! We will be back!
Travel back in time as you walk through this cute decorative candy store. It has hello kitty, red power ranger, retro arcade station on display!! Some of the items available for purchase include peanut butter soda, ridiculous amount of candies that take you back to the good old days (80-90s era) and much more. Very friendly customer service, comes to greet you at the door and make sure you're taken care of. Will definitely return again for some candy shopping :)
This is a must if you're in the SLO area and want something sweet! They have got to have almost every American candy ever thought of and sold! You can also find some European and Asian candies as well along with different variety's of cold soda next to some Power Rangers. As soon as you step inside you will find yourself immersed in the candy world. You will also find Mike Wazowski, James P. Sullivan, Lisa Simpson, and even a gremlin or two lurking about. We found their "movie" section candies and bought the dark peanut butter cups and something made in Europe akin to oreos. The cups were super delicious and the oreo's were great as well. An even sweeter deal is if you check in! The staff is very nice and super helpful - let them know what you're looking for and they will help you find it. This store isn't the cheapest, but I understand because of the area they are in.
Visually this is a very cool store. They have so many cool things but unfortunately everything is way overpriced. The staff is very nice and helpful. It's not their fault that the merchandise is marked up so steep. One example is of a Funko Pop (Hogwarts Express Carriage with Ron Weasley) valued at $19 but sold in this store for $46.99. Second was a Harry Potter Cauldron Mug priced at $36.99 but available on Amazon for only $16.00 They carry a wide variety of soda pop bottles and candy. The place is definitely worth the window shopping experience but do your research before you overpay.
A walk back through time and a global trot across candy and confectionery delights. Love this place. I believe the word is kitsch. And do they bring it!
There's soooooooooo many different selections of candy, soda, chocolate that I'm just going to show in pics instead of attempting to list them. There were a lot of candies and chocolate that I've never seen before!!! I love finding new candies :) Service here is great and everyone here seems very knowledgable! Too bad this place is Sooo very far away from where I live (mini vaca) or I seriously would be here all the time lol
My only negative is that they don't have samples. They have everything here. SO many old school things. Looks like new sellers are these yucky sodas. Dirt, grass, popped pimple. Weird. They say the Ranch makes people sick the most. All of them sound gross. They have a ton of them too. Licorices, gums, an array of Toblerone, regular candy that you find in the candy aisle, but gourmet chocolate also. Root beers, Lots of choices. The kid who was early 20's or 19's was cool and helpful. Great seller too. Had a cap on backwards. I think this is a must if you are in town. It is just incredible. Wacky Wafers, Quench Gum, Candy Cigarettes, I mean old school candy. I know those even older than me are thinking that is not old school, I am sure there is even the generation before me's favorites too. It is not cheap. Oh they even had Japanese rice candies. Very cool.

Great selection of candy, plus some stuffed animals, stickers, and fidget toys. It has the potential to be a really cute store! It was super empty when I went, which may have added to it, but there was a slightly weird vibe. Still, it's a great place to find unique and fun candy. read more
Sorry, probably one of my shortest and boringest review. Quality/Quantity - Small candy store. Fairly large selection. My daughter usually gets one of each salt water taffy. Sorry, I did not have time to take interior pictures. But I did fall in love with your window sign, see pictures. Cool decor. Atmosphere - See above. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 8pm or 10pm. Plenty of metered street parking, but if you are willing to walk half a mile, there is free residential parking. Service - Good. Price - Slightly expensive, but that is the cost for speciality candies. Inexpensive for me, as my daughter usually only gets 10 pieces of candy. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2007 with the first store opening in 2009. Congrats on 103+ locations and your franchise model. read more

Huge candy store with various classic candies and ones that are a little unusual. They also have decent selection of craft sodas. Check out the art work on the walls and within the store. Located right on the corner. read more
I was teleported to my CHILDHOOD- when I walked into here. With everything from rare candy like Pocky Coconut and Green Tea flavors to Wasabi Shrimp Chips to Pop Rocks to all sorts of cream soda to any candy you can think of!!!!! I bought a bunch of big league chew gum- I loved that when I was a kid and miss seeing in at the local stores. I bought a lot of stuff here. HAHHA read more
Whenever I visit SLO I try to visit this candy/soda shop! They have so many cool treats I just wish I could try them all. My friends and I wanted to go here to try out their cream sodas. They have like 5-6 fridges full of different flavored sodas from many rare brands. You have cherry, blueberry, orange, grape, bacon, coffee (say whaaaa???) as well as many other kinds that you've probably never heard of. Besides the soda, there's a ton of different candy that you most likely won't find at your local grocery store. I even found Macha (Green Tea) Kit Kats here, but unfortunately it was $18 for a bag whereas in Japantown it's $5 haha! If you're just driving through this city, this spot is definitely worth a trip since you'll most likely find something rare and be surprised by how big this little store is. read more
This is the San Luis Obispo edition of the rocket fizz chain. Parking on higuera can be a little tricky due to the popularity of the area. There is always the theoretical street parking, but you have better odds of finding a spot in some of the side lots or in either the marsh street parking garage or even the mission parking. This is one of the smaller rocket fizz's I've been to but still manages to be a very busy store. This location has a lot of decor including an entire Volkswagen with Maggie Simpson at the wheel inside. There is just a ton of whimsy to draw the eye. The stock is pretty typical for a rocket fizz-that is to say novelty, retro, or imported candy items from all over. Need some cricket lollipops, bacon or pickle soda, cadbury's chocolate covered cookies, paleta payaso, spicy skittles or tamarind caramel? This is your place. Pricing is not as low as you'd like. It's hard to come out without spending ten or more dollars on just a few things, but some of the hard to get anywhere else stuff is worth it. I hear that some epic cocktails are possible with stuff like the cucumber soda. I mean if you are interested in making experimental home cocktail drink thingys. It's always a good browse for the young at heart, read more

Rocket Fizz has a large selection of candy, soda, and novelties. They are located in downtown San Luis Obispo where there are may other fun stores and restaurants. I purchased some Ritter Sport chocolates and some miscellaneous candies for my daughters. Yelpers get a 15% discount on their first purchase with a check in, which can add up if you buy a lot of candy. read more

This little store in downtown SLO is all the business! This store offers various flavors of soda pop, old school retro candy and awesome store signs. When I walked in and saw all the candy I ate as a little girl I was in heaven. I purchased probably ten pices of candy and paid about $22.00. I think it's a bit high but worth it considering you cannot find all the candy I got at all or in one location. The cashier was awesome, super friendly and funny. I will definitely be back for more. #littlestoreodawesome read more

Love Rocket Fizz...hate their high prices. It's always a treat to walk into this bottled pop and candy store. An amazing selection of sweets with equally amazing visual displays throughout the store...it's not a surprise why folks get drawn into the store. This store is like Costco for me...you only mean to get one or two things, and by the time they are ringing you up at the cash register you're shocked how all these extra things got in your cart and how quickly it adds up. You vow never again, and yet time and time again you're dropping more cash than you intended to spend. I digress! Last but not least, to my fellow Yelpers, don't forget to check in to get your 15% off! read more
If you're visiting SLO, this place is a hands down go-to. It doesn't matter if you're an adult or kid. This place has soooo much awesomeness compact into one! You can find various unconventional soda flavors, class candy, Asian candy, Mexican candy, and also any candy you can think of. They have a buy 5 sodas and get the 6th one free deal! Don't expect the sodas to all be delicious. I bought one that was swamp juice flavored and "sodasgusting." Also, this place is super touristy. There's tons of artwork and pictures that can be taken. There's the giant Sully statue, vintage, original Volkswagen Beetle, and murals painted all around the walls. read more

A must stop shop if in the San Luis Obispo area!! The store instantly grabbed our attention with the old school arcade games in the front. Once you walk in you almost feel like you stepped back in time. The shop is filled with unique candied & different sodas. Daniel approached us while we were starring at the sodas and educated us on all the different flavors and options. Daniel is a soda connoisseur! It was so nice having someone guide our experience. There is sooo many sodas to choose from ranging from the most weird like pickle soda, duff beer, to your typical colas with a unique twist like KISS cola. We had such a great time!!! read more

This place is a kids dream! We brought our nephew here to spend his $20 gift card as a congratulatory gift for getting awards in school. His eyes lit up like the Eiffel Tower! I think it was a bit of sensory overload as we made our way through the store. There are so many different types of candy and sodas that it makes it hard to decide on what to get! From bacon soda to banana cream sodas, there's a flavor to quench anybody's thirst! They've got taffy, chocolates, suckers...anything you can imagine, they probably have it! The Japanese candies and drinks really caught my eye. Oh, and don't forget the vintage looking signs and lunch boxes! I'm sure I'll go back! read more
Took my nephew here over the weekend... Place is not too big but well stocked with an array of sweets. Both national and international alike. Prices are a bit steep but I get it. It's the whole experience of a candy shop. They give you the feeling of walking into Willy Wonka's world with a mix of FAO Schwarz I honestly believe there is something here for just about anyone. From the chocolate fanatic to the candy ribbon lover to the memorabilia collectors... It's all here. If it has a hint of candy related anything it's sitting in this store. Overall, it was a nice visit. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Parking. Ugh..... good luck with that. You might need one or two or three root BEERS after that. Lol read more

Definitely a happy place for all ages! They have huge selection of candies from throwbacks to modern day candies. Want candies from Overseas? Well they have it!! A variety of English/British and Asian/Japanese choices to chose from. My favorite cart was definitely the English cart, hands down. The assistant manager was very helpful and knew a lot about the candy he was selling. My boyfriend and I went in to get some gum for the bubblegum alley but ended up getting more than just that. Highly recommend this place to all ages. read more
