    Whether you're searching for nostalgic candy from your younger days or unique flavored sodas, this is the place to go. You'll find sweets from the good old days and many items that bring back memories. I bought a six-pack of sodas with some wild flavors for my family. While browsing, I noticed Tootsie Rolls. Though they aren't nostalgic candies, I considered buying them until I saw the price of $3.99--I can get them at the dollar store for much less. Be prepared to pay higher prices here. Store was clean and organized 7/28/24

    They have flavored crickets and different flavored sodas. They have some Japanase items as well. Good place to get creative gifts.

    This place is super fun and very eccentric! I was very pleasantly surprised to find such a huge variety of candy from all around the world, hands down beats World Markets candy section any day. The wall of soda pop was also pretty cool. I like the fact that everything glass object in store has a do not touch on it ... little fingers and hands huge mess and problems so much appreciated that. The staff was super attentive and nice , asked us a few times if we needed help finding anything. What I genuinely look for is different flavors of KitKat and I was able to Snag caramel banana KitKats from Japan... Yum!!!! I highly recommend checking out this location ...it's near the beach and it's a nice little vintage stop shop, great for kids and very reasonably priced.

    I love coming here and bringing out of town guests here! It has such a fun variety of candies and different nick nacks. Picking a bag of delicious mixed taffy is one of my favorite things to do!

    Went in today to pick up some goodies and Cami helped us today. She was so friendly! Thank you for a great visit today. I checked in on Yelp and received 10% a discount! That was a nice surprise.

    Rocket Fizz has been around for many years! This place fought tooth & nail to stay in Ventura County. It's moved a few times and they closed the location in Camarillo. I understand rent is significantly high but, inflating candy is not cool. The drink are pretty pricey! It would be cool to see places like this stick to a reasonable price. A boba canned drink runs about $3.29 when I saw these for $1 elsewhere. The boutique candy vibes causes for the price to be higher than normal. The place has a lot of unique vibes! You can find Asian candy (our favorite), sour candy, hot chili candy, tons of taffy ( be aware over priced). You'll find some candy sure for .$59 and other candies on the front table for .99 It's a cool spot to come have your kiddos check out. I do caution to bring extra, extra cash! This place can be ridiculously expensive. Wish they brought more $1 items. Overall, the store is clean and organized. That says a lot for it being here for a few years!

    Rocket Fizz gives me all the feels of my childhood! All the old skool candy, gum, and treats are inside. Take a step inside and you'll feel just as nostalgic as others!

    It's not the largest rocket fizz I've ever been to, and recently I was in Vegas at "I love sugar" ... Which comparatively crushes rocket fizz Ventura with size and variety. However, for what it is, it's a decent place to deal with your sugar cravings and pursue it with variety. It's an easy middle of the road Three star vote of recognition especially given its location and lack of competition. I didn't buy anything, nor did I have any interaction with staff... It looked pretty much run of the mill Typical with how I saw other customers being served.l I'd say go ahead and check it out, you're probably going to be reasonably pleased

    I love Rocket Fizz and have been to their Camarillo location a few times. (I actually saw the "Tanked" episode that featured Rocket Fizz and their custom fish tank!) I went to their old Ventura location years ago, and then recently drove by and saw that it was closed and vacant. I was very sad and caught some bummed feelings thinking that they had to close up shop. I love flavored soda, Ginger Ale specifically, and bought some from here in the past. Cut forward to last weekend and I am exploring the new Downtown Ventura area on Main Street. Lots of new changes and many restaurants now offering eating outside. It's a really neat set up actually. In my exploring I stumbled across Rocket Fizz and THEIR NEW LOCATION. Of course they had moved! Or rather, of course they (must) have moved. Makes perfect sense! And one of the employees said they get so much more foot traffic now (uhm, hi!) I went in to look around, to look for some chocolate, and just see the neat novelty items. I love Pocky but didn't get any. And I am not a Star Wars fan but noticed all the decks of cards. :) Service was friendly. They all had masks and required them upon entry. Come visit this neat gem in Downtown Ventura!

    Candy Store/Gift Store located in Downtown Ventura, California. There are a lot of unusual items in this store, and a little something for everyone. Many items are vintage themed. There are a lot of different choices for candy. Employees were friendly and welcoming. I used my 10% Yelp coupon towards our purchase. This is a fun shop to browse through on a visit to Downtown Ventura.

    This store is the definition of a childhood dream. Full of candy and wild things to try. So many options to choose from and isn't extremely pricy. I've been going here for years and all my family out of town love to come here too. This is a must stop at place when downtown Ventura

    Do they have ice cream and caramel apples?

    No to both items, it's all the candy you can think of and every kind of soda pop.

One of the gals mentioned they knew the owner of the place that we should check out the store and see if the owner was in town. While waiting for the owner we took a look around and found some cute, fun and funny things! They had a Christmas tree decorated with camping themed merchandise which of course caught our attention. They had a little bit of everything for almost everyone and any age. Well, maybe not for infants at least i don't recall seeing anything for infants. The found the prices on some of the merchandise to be reasonable. Some of the clothing were on the pricey side. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Although I didn't purchase the really cute, and funny kitchen towels, I did purchase a couple of stickers (I enjoy stickers!). This business will find me here again if ever in the area.

They've always done a good job of creating small vignettes to show off different themes. This being Ventura, they definitely carry a lot of beach-themed items. One area that caught my eye this time was a section with camping / get outdoors / celebrating the National Parks merchandise. Some very cute and unique stuff to be had in that section. I found something for my aunt to make as a gift. She's making a goal to get around to all of the National Parks, and is steadily chipping away at it. What I got will help memorialize that in a whimsical way. The ladies who work the store are friendly and helpful, which makes the shopping experience even more delightful. Take your sense of humor in when you visit - you never know what you'll find to make you smile and even laugh out loud.

Home goods and gifts this store really has it all. I also appreciate the layout and that items are kind of categorized by theme or item. For example, where I first walked in they had two tables filled with beachy items. Pillows, wall decor, stickers, mugs, candles you name it. Really convenient when you have a theme or idea in mind and they have an entire table dedicated to those items. In the back were the cutest and softest baby clothes. Some of my friends have had little ones and I will definitely be back to shop for them. For myself I'm coming back for some super cozy sweaters - it's just too hot right now and at almost $50 a pop, it wasn't a need. The prices range. Some items seem reasonable and others are slightly overpriced in my opinion BUT the convenience of getting so many cute things all in one spot makes worth paying a little more okay in my eyes as it's a one stop shop. Lastly the staff are nice here. Everyone says hello and they greet you with good vibes. They are helpful but don't hover. All in all this is a great store in downtown and I'll be back soon to snag some goodies.

On a warm afternoon we were greeted by air conditioning and a friendly welcome from the woman working there. Both were a nice treat as we spent a little time downtown. The usage of the high ceilings and historic space in the boutique are glorious to behold. They featured fresh flower bouquets, clothing, jewelry and other accessories, lotions, and gift items. Several delineated sections focus on various themes and colors. There's so much to see! It would take a while to view the bulk of the goodies for sale. The shopkeeper mentioned that they have another location further up Main Street. While I didn't but anything this time, I could easily be persuaded to return and dig deeper!

I don't know how the owner manages to find room to add more stuff. Regardless, I really like a lot of things here, but speaking honestly, I found the prices to be a bit on the pricey side... not surprising for a gift store, but still, I found myself more justifying why I shouldn't buy it as opposed to convincing myself that I absolutely "needed" to have it.... or even buy as gifts for others. I thought about future Christmas gifts, but again, spending a lot of money for things so very tiny (some were)... so I kept saying no. I suppose I can always come back here.....I really do like what this store has to offer.
