A Sweet Spot in Chattanooga!…read more Rocket Fizz is one of my favorite chain stores to visit whenever I travel, and the Chattanooga location is truly a gem! We had just wrapped up a fun-filled afternoon at the pinball museum down the street and decided to walk over for a treat--best decision ever. The store is bright, clean, and packed wall-to-wall with colorful candies, vintage sodas, nostalgic toys, and quirky gifts. It's like stepping into a time capsule of fun. The displays are well-organized and make browsing a total blast. Whether you're hunting for your favorite childhood candy or looking to try a bacon-flavored soda just for laughs, this place has it all. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, happy to answer questions and chat about some of the more unusual flavors on the shelves. Their enthusiasm added to the experience and made us feel right at home. I left with a cold soda and a bag full of goodies--and already can't wait to come back. Rocket Fizz Chattanooga is a must-visit stop for anyone with a sweet tooth, a love of pop culture, or just a craving for something delightfully different!

The staff person was nice and even let me top of the bag. I will say it was nice ambiance: no…read moreblasting music or abrasive welcome when I entered. They have I believe 90 different flavors of taffy, which is wild! Naturally I had to get one of each, duh. They had another 3/4 of the store that I only glanced at. They truly do have a lot of options so if you are looking for something specific they probably have it. This is a great spot to casually check out while walking by. They also had drinks. In my mind, this is more of a sweets shop because of the variety. I was expecting more of a scoop-style like a classic candy shop where they have bins that are covered. All the options for putting into bags are individually wrapped. I was perfectly happy with that and it makes sense from an operational angle. Just a different vibe than what I was expecting.

The Hot Chocolatier is AMAZING! I'm from the area, and I just never have been able to get to it…read morebefore closing time. Well, I got to go today. I got the S'mores Hot Chocolate. My husband got the Lavender White Chocolate. Both were PHENOMENAL!!! The BEST hot chocolate I've ever had! Even better than my ex-MIL's!!! So freaking GOOD!! The barista who helped us was so kind and so helpful. We would have never tried anything lavender. The place had a really cool vibe. Get yourself to the Hot Chocolatier, PRONTO!!!

I'll start by saying I ordered the white hot chocolate and squirrel cheesecake to go because we…read morewere wandering around town sightseeing. Staff was friendly. There were a lot of options as far as flavors, sizes, toppings, etc. I stuck with a 12 oz white hot chocolate with whipped cream. Now the white hot chocolate was fantastic. It was real white chocolate and it was a nice bit of sweetness. But the cheesecake was unfortunately disappointing. I don't know if it was over baked or over beaten or what but it had a rubbery jello like texture that's not appealing in the mouth when expecting something different. I could only have two bites before giving up on the $9 slice. I'm torn on this review. And this is because I was so excited and hopeful to try the cute hot chocolate place with desserts that I wanted to love it. But was so disappointed with my dessert. The hot chocolate was fantastic and that being their key thing is what I would try again. But I'd probably never reorder a baked dessert from them as they are not necessarily cheap and I wouldn't want to be disappointed when there are other treat options around the area. The space itself is mountainy fun candy cottage vibe. Serves the purpose of having somewhere to enjoy the treats you've ordered inside.

I was not very…read moresatisfied after the first class because the instructor is very young and doesn't transmit much confidence while explaining or talking to the group. She does have years of experience, superior education and she helped with little tips. The rest of the clases got better because she was more confident. This class is very good for people who are pretty new at decorating cakes, is a VERY basic and short course that will get you started! In my case helped me tremendously because they introduced so many new tools to me and taught me techniques on how to use them. So yes I would totally reccomend this class! I will be taking course 2 and 3 so I can learn even more! They also sell a lot of baking supplies that are priced very reasonable and they have a lot of different options, for example they have several kinds of food coloring and flavors, candy melts, cookie cutters for every occasion, cake boards, pans and boxes every size you can imagine. The sugar shoppe also has a stand at the farmer's market at the first Tennessee pavilion and we really like their cake slices, my mom and my husband enjoy them very much because the textures and flavors they offer. They are large portions for $5 each slice. They are very delicious! I haven't ordered a cake from them, but since I was able to be in their kitchen for the classes I was able to see their cake schedule and they had a very clean and organized kitchen, they prepare ahead the buttercream which is their own recipe ans it's perfect texture to decorate and pipe any designs. I would definitely order a cake from them, they are very nice, I saw them interact with customers who were placing custome orders, they ask a lot of questions to make sure they deliver the cake you want.

Nostalgia SUPER BONUS POINTS!!!…read more I had not been here since I was a tiny child and I had largely forgotten this place other than in my dreams of what the perfect candy store would look like. The minute I walked into this place so many memories washed over me and I immediately recognized this place that has been haunting my dreams for so many years. They carry so many amazing packaged candies from multiple commercial manufacturers that I have not seen anywhere else since childhood that I had feared those items had gone out of existence. Their decorated fudge even still had icing decorations like the "Garden Path" that I recall from childhood. They make a lot of their own candies and chocolates of many various wondrous sorts and I almost still believe the gnomes help them manufacture these magical treats. Overall I would return and pay to go to Rock City again just to visit the Fudge Store!!! My video review is here: https://youtu.be/2xMvwsK0GW8

We were standing…read moreoutside speaking to a gentleman who was admiring our corgi and one of the owners came outside to greet us and welcome our dog inside as well. Honestly, any business that welcomes our dog, I will almost every time purchase something-it means that much to me! The store holds a variety of items. It is a souvenir shop but this is probably one of the most unique souvenir shops I have ever visited. I like to purchase items when I travel that are locally made and this store had some items like that. Hubs and I took turns browsing the store and speaking with the owners, which made our experience more personable. I wanted to find something like an old souvenir Chattanooga vintage train but they did not have what I was picturing in my mind. Instead, the owners showed us trains they had in the window and offered to sell us the whole set but I could not afford it. Instead, we bargained for me to purchase a couple of pieces of the set. I thought it was very special of them to do that. We purchased some other souvenirs but none of them were sentimental like the train set pieces. I will definitely shop here again when we visit Chattanooga!

So many Great ones! Go try it!!

POPCORN! More POPCORN! That's what you'll see when you walk into the Popcorn Pantry. I have an…read moreobsession with popcorn. I could eat it every day and sometimes I just have popcorn for dinner. I needed a massive amount of popcorn for a party and I didn't want to make it myself or rent a machine or buy just store popcorn and then I remembered driving by this place. So I stopped in and they have HUGE bins of popcorn. Lots of different flavors too. And you can get SAMPLES of them to pick what you want. I talked with the girl working alone in there and asked if they did bulk popcorn and they do! They have different bags to choose from and she helped me figure out how much I would need. I couldn't leave without some popcorn for myself so I picked a couple of flavors and got some small bags to go. Let's talk packaging. This girl had those bags stuffed FULL. I doubted she was going to get the twist tie on it. So no wasted space in these bags. You get well over your money's worth. Came back the next day to pick up my fresh popped popcorn and it was a hit at my party. Love this place.

I was yelled at by the clerk telling me to stop recording her. I was not recording her, I was talking on FaceTime with my brother showing him the city and the Icecream shop. The way this lady spoke to me was rude and disrespectful. I understand not wanting to be recorded, but it's about how you speak to people when you are in a service position. I told her we would not patronize the shop and my mom and I left. The tone and look on her face was not welcoming and had no kindness to it. I strongly believe if I were not black, the way she spoke to us would have been different. I know when the anger from a person is unwarranted and comes from a place of hate. I was taken aback, but happy I stayed classy and left and now I'm sharing this story with you so that you can avoid this type of treatment.

I had to squeeze into the shelf to have someone pass behind me with their cart but we made it work lol. The space isn't terribly small (I would say medium-sized as a whole), it's just a little narrow. But they do a good job of packing all their products in there. They have everything for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, Vietnamese, Thai and other asian cuisines. I'm very impressed at their inventory. They have a large frozen food aisle, shelves of instant noodles, and kitchenware! I even saw a bunch of Filipino desserts in the fridge too. The owner was nice and helped me check out my items. He was very friendly. I always get great service when I come by. Also I felt like pricing was very fair and reasonable. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the Chattanooga area and even if you're just passing by.
