    All the candy and soda options you could want to try. They have classic sodas and then a wide range of unique like butter, barf, or ranch. I'm not adventurous enough to try those! Owners are very friendly and helpful. Try the quarter game to win a free soda.

    Popped into this candy shop, knowing that they just opened one in Knoxville as well (which I have been longingly seen in passing). I had a minute to look around and see what kinda candy we're working with. They have a ton of quirky flavored colas, wall signs, comic books, and of course, candy. I was anticipating a wall of bulk Jelly Bellies, but the only bulk candy I saw was a ton of saltwater taffy and the self-serve, flavored sugar tubes. There were a ton of silly, unique gift candies and candy packs...a goofy kid (or kid-at-heart's) dream. HUGE gummy tongues, gummy sushi kits, lots of candies and tins for Harry Potter fans. The shop is a bit pricey with a touristy vibe, but I appreciated that the owner was walking around greeting the (many) customers and the ability to find something for everyone.

    Candy galore

    We were walking around Asheville and had to stop here. What a huge assortment of candy! Mallo Cups, Chuckles, Reggie bars, everything you could want. Row upon row of pop. I saw a sign that said you could fill a bag for $8.50. I bought two candy bars and it was $6. Pricey trip down memory lane.

    taffy

    some of the best juiciest taffy I've had in my life. the flavors are immaculate. I've been hooting, hollering, moaning, over the flavors. the fruity ones don't taste too sugary. immaculate. and there are so many flavors to choose from, which is the smartest thing to do (manly cause when you get a pre made bag it's mostly chocolate and peppermint). other candy shops need to take note of their taffy selection

    This candy store has almost every kind of candy and kitschy item possible. I was in awe as I walked around the store! There's something for everyone!

    We were vising our home away from home ( Asheville NC) when we got caught in a rainstorm while walking downtown. What a great surprise we had when we ducked in here to stay dry. Amazing & funky collection of sodas ( 100's!) and candies ( 100's more!) Some blasts from the past ( wax bottles with flavored sugar water) as well as odd flavors of soda: crumb cake soda (!), pickle soda(?), and grass soda :( They are always creating new flavors of soda too. Round it off with cool metal or paper signage & posters,candy store toys, and lunch boxes too! You just have to check one of these places out ( approx 70 franchises in US and Canada)

    Such a cute candy store in the heart of Asheville! Rocket Fizz has everything a candy lover could want! Well, almost everything. Unfortunately they didn't carry the Fruit Chews I was looking for and loved as a child. Even though they didn't have it the owner did his best to walk us through the store and offer suggestions on items he had that may be similar, which I appreciated! Even letting me sample some before I made my purchase. They had everything from quirky flavored cotton candy (ex. pickle and pizza flavors) to nostalgic candy favorites dating back to the 1960's, as well as the all time favorites like Reese's or Snickers. There was a "mystery grab bag" section which was really awesome. $9.99 for a small bag, $16.99 medium, or $36.99 for the mega. You wouldn't find out what was in the bag until after you paid for it which is the fun part. There was also a quarter drop game in the middle of the store. Drop a quarter in a water filled jug, if the quarter lands in the shot glass at the bottom you win a soda of your choice, which they had dozens of cool flavors to choose from. A candy and soda lover could easily spend an hour in here reminiscing and admiring the huge selection of sweets and merchandise. The great customer service you will receive is definitely the cherry on top!

    We cannot say enough about our experience today at Rocket Fizz, Asheville! Not only is this store in a fantastic and totally cool location but they welcomed us and our pups with genuine smiles and love! Our corgis, Panda and Miss Swish were happy as could be to relax in the AC, pose for pictures and watch the activities. They may have even enjoyed a wiff or two of some peanut butter candies! Do yourself a favor and make Rocket Fizz, Asheville a must do stop! We left with our own big smiles, tshirts, nostalgic signs and yes....CANDY AND SODA! Go see this lovely family launching in this new adventure! You will be welcomed by Laura, Lonnie and Rebekka! Tell them Panda and Miss Swish sent ya!!!! All paws up from this pack of travelers!!

    Fun candy and soda store with international and unique candies and sodas. I love buying gifts from this store because things are so unique. Staff was super nice and friendly not to mention helpful. Over 500 sodas in the shop with over 200 of them cold and in the cooler!

    Employees are too aggressive, lots of unique things but nothing called out to us from our childhoods like I thought it would.

    I honestly thought that was a clever idea for their customers, not only are they giving away a free soda but it shows you they really care about their customers.

    We made sure to check the website before driving mode to this market. Market it states that…read morewell-behaved leash pads are welcomed in outdoor market areas but are not allowed inside any of the buildings, sheds or shops. That is totally reasonable so we made the truck over. When we arrived however, I thought we were in the wrong place. It has an industrial feel, not a farmers market feel, and there were no markets going on outside. As a matter of fact, the only market was indoor with about a dozen or so stalls. We were disappointed, but I wanted to check it out so my husband remained in the vehicle with our dog. I looked at every market stall inside and I was in and out in about 5 minutes. Having produce doesn't make something a farmers market. It just felt like walking around local grocery store. About a third of the vendors were fruits and vegetables and the rest were knick-knacks and t-shirts and miscellaneous items. Also, it was incredibly empty. I mean I understand why. I did find a new cider to try but knowing what I know now, I would most likely not make the drive again. I realize I'm not from the area, but this was no different than any local grocery stores to me.

The aroma of chocolate wraps around you the second you walk through the door -- rich, warm, and completely unforgettable. There's an entire area where you can watch the actual machines they use to craft their chocolate, which adds so much charm and character. But our favorite part was the cozy coffee section. A simple caramel latte ended up being the highlight -- balanced, smooth, and exactly what we didn't know we needed. A little moment of serendipity we're glad we found.

Tours are offered daily with reservations, and the café is also open for walk-ins. I ordered a hot chocolate, not realizing it was made with dark chocolate. It turned out to be very rich and strong. A bit too intense for my personal taste. I honestly wish they offered milk on the side so I could dilute it, as I wasn't able to finish it. Afterward, I definitely needed water because of how rich it was. However, I also ordered the mocha stout cake, and that was absolutely delicious and very enjoyable. Overall, it's a great spot for serious dark chocolate lovers and anyone interested in high quality, handcrafted chocolate.
