    I'm diabetic so this store isn't exactly good for me, but if you want a very wide selection of sweets, here you go. They even have some hard to find regional candies. What they did have for me was a licensed Tootsie Roll cap with the 1970s logo and commercial "how many licks..." I wear this cap unironically because I'm old enough.

    Just a small sample of the merchandise available here.

    I haven't strolled through Ann Arbor in a long time so I was delighted to see this store along the downtown core. Inside, there are colorful chocolate bars, candy (lollipops!), and soda neatly arranged on shelves that line the perimeter of the store. And the chocolate, it's not the fancy stuff sold at gourmet stores. This is the stuff that makes for fond childhood memories. If you've ever read Candy Freak by Steve Almond, some of the candy would be familiar. Others are limited-release chocolate bars, not found on the shelves of Target or Walmart. Against one wall, you can find numerous bins filled with different flavors of taffy. I filled up half a bag to taste test. I need to return to taste test the soda. The store also caters to people who enjoy Japanese snacks, like Pocky, and Canadian candy bars like Mr. Big, Mirage, and Cherry Blossom. I wanted one of the tin lunch boxes displayed throughout the store but they are not that practical for work - and yes, I would have used them if they were large enough to carry salads, diet soda, and ice packs. All that is needed here are ice cream bars and sandwiches and this would be a duplicate of the corner stores I went to as a kid. Rocket Fizz - what a perfect name for a candy/soda store with a nostalgic bent.

    I've always found Rocket Fizz to be a delightful store. All the crazy sodas, fun and retro candies and novelties, etc. My family and I had loads of fun at this new Ann Arbor location poppin in between the aisles and digging through all the weird soda flavors like pickle and mustard. It's like a demented candy land. Speaking of demented, my family and I thought it would be great fun to do a blind taste testing of a bunch of the wacky flavors. We picked up 7, one for each of us, in ranch, enchilada, sweet corn, butter, bacon, and the aforementioned pickle and mustard. It was a hoot (although totally disgusting). When we were checking out, the clerk was super friendly and helpful and gave us some carrying holders for the bottles and small bags for covering the bottles for the tasting. I'm not sure if I'll be back for more weird beverages but I'll definitely be back for one of their other sodas like root beers and ginger beers, and fun candy and gifts, of course. It'll be a great spot for stocking stuffers come the holidays, too!

    So much taffy and so many flavors

    This is the place if you want any type of candy that is current and some that aren't as popular. If you want a pop and are looking for unusual flavors or varieties, this is the place. I like the pick your own taffy idea,it's a good deal. I'm not a fan of taffy, so I didn't partake. I did, however, grab some candy for stockings for Christmas. I grabbed a few of my favorites also. I wasn't intending to come here but found it on the way back from another store. It was very clean and had large aisles to browse around. The workers there were also very friendly and willing to help. I highly recommend it if you have a sugar fix.

    This bright and colorful store is very welcoming and filled with all kinds of sodas and candy. A lot of the candy are retro items you won''t find in the checkout line of your local grocery store. A fun place to take the kids and adults will enjoy reminiscing about candy they had when they were young.

    They are so consistent with the other stores I've visited. This is going to definitely be my goto for exotic candies and delicacies.

Think cookies, macarons, cakes, and gelato. Plus delightful candies, cookie mixes, spice blends, marshmallows, etc. They also carry super cute tea and kitchen accessories like mugs, teapots, tins, linens and more. The shop itself is adorable. Full of delightful touches and colorful decor. Staff is super sweet and the treats themselves are delicious. I've always been a fan of the Tea Haus macarons and they carry them here, in more ambitious designs and flavors too. The gelato is also delicious. I had a scoop of the blueberry with a delicious tea infusion and it was flavorful and delightfully creamy. Such a fun and delightful addition to Kerrytown. Definitely stop by if you're in the area.

    -cute concept and shop -macaron flavors are good in theory…read morebut what you get is really hit or miss -gelato flavors are very weak, tastes mostly like milk -a staff member once gave us a visibly older macaron and didn't offer to exchange it for a fresh one when we pointed it out (there was one old one vs five fresh ones) The gelato and macarons here have been underwhelming, especially since they're supposed to be the focus here. I'm also confused by the macaron flavors, as they aren't tea-inspired. I would go to TeaHaus over this extension, as their tea is good and they have seating. Gelato - very dense and milky. A medium (2 scoops) is $4. I tried the strawberry green tea and an earl gray with lavender shortbread, and both mostly just tasted like milk - the flavors are accurate, but they're very weak and difficult to detect. The caramel and black tea with sea salt had a mild caramel taste but no salt. They do offer samples. Macarons ($2.25 each) - flavors are good but shells need work. They're really big (about 2.5" in diameter), and the rotating flavors are often fun and creative. Le Bon Macaron has better shell quality, but the flavors here are better. Compared to when I first tried them 3 or 4 years ago the macarons have improved, but out of the ones I tried recently only one (chocolate malt in July) was decent. Quality is really hit or miss depending on the batch you happen to get. -raspberry key lime (August) - really sugary with a weak lime flavor -bubblegum (July) - tasted very much like bubblegum but the shells were very crunchy and overbaked, and there were huge air pockets -superman (July) - too chewy and soft -brown butter pecan (July) - good flavor but shells were dry and too crunchy, and the buttercream was very stiff and buttery

They have an INCREDIBLE selection of teas, pastries and assorted home goods. Fueled by local artists and tea lovers, their gift-shop is the perfect place to get a unique gift for a loved one. Fun fact! The owners helped co-write "Tea for Dummies"! Several gluten free options- I had the almond cake and it was to die for! Staff is very helpful and will let you smell all the teas you'd like. We ended up going home with several 100g bags to stock up for fall. The Tea is available in 50g, 100g, and 200g amounts and priced by blend. Most of them are between $6-10 per 50g. Very reasonably priced! Parking is street parking. There are meters directly out front, and around all sides of the building.

Honestly, I was a bit overwhelmed when I came in. There's a tea bar area, the loose leaf tea wall, pastries and other desserts, swag, a tasting area, and apparently it was trivia night tonight. I experienced all of this in just the first minute or two of entering. And it was packed! I really appreciate the time taken to explain the shop to me and walk me through many of the teas. Although they were busy, I didn't feel rushed (there were 2-3 people working the registers) and it felt very personal chatting. I was able to smell a bunch, and could really tell the differences in them. I ended up getting 3 50g bags and 2 sample bags, plus some stickers and pins. Really excited to try these out. Their range goes from darker to lighter, and they have a wide variety of black, green, rooibos, and herbal teas/blends.

Now they've expanded in there and they've filled the space with even more beautifully curated goodies, new and "found." There's a bit of everything in here, perfect for finding a gift for a friend, family, or a partner, or a little goodie for yourself. They've got beautiful art prints from independent artists, handmade ceramics, plus stationery, a bangin' candle section, lovely housewares and textiles like throws, pillows, and tea towels, plus jewelry, the list goes on and on. Plus when you shop here you're really shopping small, because most of what they carry falls into that category. If you go to their website you can take a look at a list of the artists they carry in store, and I love recognizing names of friends and people I admire in their respective fields. It's a delight digging through all their offerings and I highly recommend you get there soon to do it yourself!

    We were visiting friends in AnnArbor and were downtown and wanted a treat after some shopping…read more They took us here which is a fave of theirs it's a really cute little shop with nice seating, French themed decor and a welcoming staff. The case of macarons was beautiful , multicolored rows of well labelled flavors. We each made some selections and ordered some drinks. Our hosts ordered a large French press pot to share. I had time to speak with staff about the last k of space for baking and how they arrived at so many flavors. They do not bake onsite but receive frozen shipments from the main bakery in Grand Rapids as handiest the Holland, Michigan store. They defrost enough each for each day so they never run out of flavors. They were some of best I have ever had. Nothing like what you might find in the bakery section of a grocer. This is an historic residential building retrofit with a nice conversion to retail without losing its charming brickwork. I will definitely return when next in Ann Arbor.

    I've wanted to stop by but always had planned activities elsewhere. Until today…read more The shop is beautiful: exposed brick walls, small marble-topped tables, petite vases filled with flowers, sparkly chandeliers, and a garland of pink and white flowers. It's so appealing. The macarons displayed in the case were equally appealing. I don't recall all the flavors, but I had a tough time picking out flavors for my friend and, of course, something for me. I chose three macarons to enjoy at the shop: blueberry, coconut, and strawberry cheesecake. I liked the delicate crack of the macaron shells and the creamy, flavorful centers. Each sported a design to distinguish itself from the others further. I also had a piping hot Earl Gray tea along with these treats. Espresso, French and Italian sodas, and lattes are also available. Customers stopped in throughout my visit for a quick purchase or to savor their macarons at nearby tables. Service was disappointing.
