Once we got into the store, it was full of old time candy from my childhood. Even though there was a line, the server took his time and helped us find the perfect order. He offered suggestion to my wife as they out tighter the prefect milkshake. I ordered a single serving on a waffle cone. The serving was very generous. Not to be outdone, my son orders the double. It was a mountain of ice cream! The server was kind and engaging. He made us feel like we were his only customers. Again, the ice cream was delicious. And the atmosphere was fun. We will definitely be back.

We were taking a walk down Central Avenue in downtown St.Petersburg, and this awesome soda shop was…read morethere we were blown away how cool this place was! They had every soda that you can possibly imagine there at least a few hundred sodas I have never seen before! Also all different candies and chocolates, stuff you can't even find anymore! My husband found a caramel toffee that he use to eat when he was a kid and you can no longer find it anywhere. It's called a Mackintosh creamy toffee. Also what I loved about this soda shop is they had different types of sodas and chocolates from different countries like Japan love trying unique stuff! They also had all kinds of vintage collectibles, which I thought was really cool. The service was great. The lady behind the register was so helpful and kind. She answered all our questions, and we love this place. We'll definitely be back again when we're in town.

They have a lot of flavors so you'll have a hard time picking one. After trying a lot of different flavors I decided to order the key lime pie and it was exquisite! The employee was super nice and gave me a lot of samples cuz I wasn't sure what I wanted. Everything sounded delicious! I definitely recommend this ice cream shop to anyone visiting John's Pass. Just be aware, portions are huge. I ordered a simple and it was double scoop!

Scott Rehm C.P.M. has personally taken the time and effort to answer my emails and assist me with getting some Angel Mints ordered for my mother. Our family has a history of enjoying Angel Mints as a favorite candies back in the 60's & 70's. By chance I ran upon the mints in a hospital gift store in IN and took a few up to my mother. Now she savors her daily Angel Mint to help with some of the effects of her medicines in settling her stomach. Plus, she just enjoys the refreshing peppermint. Thanks to Mr Rehms help my mother will soon be adding to her old favorite with a new chocolate mint. Not only is the product wonderful, but so is the personal human touch of the company.

Do you like candy? Do you like specialty sodas? How about novelty items that teleport you right…read moreback to your childhood? If you answered yes to any of these, Rocket Fizz is the place for you. This store is loaded wall to wall with all sorts of candies/goodies that you might've forgotten about or never even heard of. You can seriously walk around for an hour & still find new things with each pass. They carry a bunch of products that you usually only see online & cannot find at any grocery store or gas station. It's really fun to come in just to browse the shelves but you won't be able to leave without grabbing at least 1 or 2 things. The prices are also really fair so you can get a handful of items without breaking the bank, but beware, you might get carried away quickly! My favorite part is all of the sodas they carry. You'll basically find any soda you could imagine & then some. They have hundreds of colas, root beers, cream sodas & even whacky/funny ones. There's flavors you wouldn't even believe have been made but Rocket Fizz never fails at surprising. I promise, if you could imagine it, they're bottled it! I also want to give a very big shoutout to Jen, the woman who helped us this evening. She was an absolute pleasure to deal with. She made us feel very welcomed & even sent us home with some complimentary pieces of her personal favorite salt water taffy flavors. This was also AFTER she insisted I grabbed a couple extra pieces to try out on the house! You can tell she really cares about customer service & is reason enough you should stop on by. If you're anywhere by Clearwater beach & don't check out Rocket Fizz at least once you're really missing out.

Even after coming here for well over 10 years, it truly makes me feel like a kid in a candy store…read morewhen I enter. Not only are you greeted by some of the friendliest employees, you're hit with a sensory overload (in all the best ways possible). The decadent smell of chocolate fills your nose & your eyes are drawn to the display cases with literal pieces of edible art. You're going to need a minute- or five- when deciding what you want. Your eyes will tell you to get the best looking while the flavor descriptions will speak for themselves. First & foremost, these artisan chocolates are not only delicious, they're true pieces of art. The owner uses an airbrushing paint style to decorate the shells of the many amazing options. They're made by hand in-house & you can literally see how much effort is put into the product they serve. I love how many different options there are to choose from. Not only is there a great variety, they're always stocked up. Even after coming here for as long as I have, it always seems like there's something new to try. They have some standard flavors like dark chocolate raspberry, strawberry caramel, hazelnut, cappuccino & salted caramel but the true fun lies within looking at the unique flavors. PB & J, bananas foster, key lime pie, passion fruit & Mexican mango are just some to be named. They offer macrons & some of their signature flavors in bar form, as well. There's also a great selection of delicious, freshly-made gelato. Fan of afternoon tea? They host it every Saturday & Sunday with some delicious bites at a reasonable cost. Everything from the amazing customer service to the phenomenal tasting/looking chocolates makes this place a must hit. Any & every time I'm in Clearwater I make sure to get my fix. You shouldn't miss their chocolates if you care about yourself.

This store is really one of the best kept secrets in Pinellas county!…read more Why a secret? Because it is hidden away from the main traffic on West Bay drive, just two blocks South on 13th street. I can't express enough great things about this place, but their deli is the showstopper here. Their signature "Rumspringer" sandwich is unique and truly amazing, with dried beef, turkey, bacon, cole slaw, and a creamy whole-grain mustard-based sauce, then pressed. Tasty and addictive! The deli also has Cooper sharp cheese, which makes the best grilled cheese you may ever have! They also have freshly-sliced "dried beef" which makes the best chipped beef over toast, ever! Combine these rare deli treats with all of their other unusual and offbeat Amish items, and this store is a true joy of a destination for those that appreciate distinctive culinary treasures. Plus, I have always found the staff here to be very helpful and extremely friendly. I always look forward to my next trip to the Amish Country Store!
