Horrifying robot doorman
Stephen K.

Rocket Fizz is a pretty cool shop. I hadn't planned on visiting, but stopped in when I saw the horrifying robot butler stationed at the entrance. Rocket Fizz is a soda and candy shop that has a HUGE variety of both. I've never seen as many individual colas as Rocket Fizz stocks...everything from the more conventional to "Spiffy" and "Judge Wapner" (no joke). The staff was VERY helpful and friendly, and told me to feel free to ask any questions, or for help finding anything because they "have everything". After striking out on "Tahitian Treat" soda, "Ol' Bob Miller's" sarsaparilla, and "Stimorol" minted fruit gum, the clerk recommended Earp's sarsaparilla as a potential runner-up, and was able to quickly find that Trident bought out Stimorol some time back. AWESOME help! There are also a few old-school arcade machines at the back of the shop, which is a nice touch. I'll definitely be back, as I want to get some more Judge Wapner cola :)

They have won me over as a customer. All of my family loves coming here, but after Friday night, I will always be loyal to this location. You see, my little 4 year old daughter and I were on a daddy "date". At the end of the night, before we went home, I decided to surprise her by taking her to her favorite store, RocketFizz. She loves the little shopping carts, and doing her "grocery shopping". She was so excited, and enamored by all the candies and sodas, that she neglected to tell me she need to use the restroom. The next thing I know, she says "Daddy I need some help"! I looked over to see her near tears, and see that her pants, shoes, and floor are soaked. I remained calm, and explained that I was an accident, and then sought out help. Alex, the employee on the clock that night, sprang in to action. The whole time he was calm, courteous, kind, and very understanding. He in no way made my little girl feel uneasy, or upset. He was AWESOME! He made a potentially very embarrassing situation, very tolerable. After I cleaned her up, and bought her "groceries", and left, she was back in good spirits as we headed home. Thank you Alex for helping us end our date night on a high note. You've made me a HUGE fan of RocketFizz! P.s. We attached the thank you card we dropped off for him. My daughter wanted to draw him a picture of a dog.

Rocket Fizz has a sort of old fashioned candy store vibe with a modern twist to it. If you like candy or soda this is definitely a place to check out. This store has a nice selection of candy including a very large selection of salt water taffy in a multitude of flavors. I was very surprised that they had so many different types available and loose so I could pick the ones I wanted. I got a small bag of taffy for me and my friend and I really liked the taste of most of them. All of the taffy I bought was fresh and I was thinking that might not have been the case but fortunately I was wrong. I liked that they had some international candies but it would have been nice to see a bit more international candies. There are so many amazing candies from Europe and Asia that I love. They had some Asian staples here such as Ghana Chocolate which I like so I bought a bar. As far as candy, here are some of what they had available... - Double Bubble - Mike & Ike - Whoppers - Dots - Milk Duds - Hi Chew - Sesame Snaps - Ghana Chocolate bar - Ghana Chocolate hearts - Green Tea Kit Kat - Hello Panda - Tootsie Rolls - Bit O' Honey - Mary Jane - Slo Poke - Black Cow - Smarties - Moon Pies - Valomilk - Good News Bar - Mallowcup - Gobstoppers - Rocky Road Bars - Lemonheads - Trolli - Hottie - Sugar Babies - Now & Later - Necco Wafers - Sweet Tarts - Pez - and even Peeps! They have a lot more but I just wanted to give a sample. I don't drink soda but I was fascinated with the huge variety available. Some of the more interesting ones were the ones with world dictators and crazy people. I thought the Kim Jongun Nuclear Orange Bomb, Fiidel Castro's Havana Banana and the Josef Stalin Stalinade were funny. The artwork was great on the labels. They also carry the Lester's Fixins brand and they have some very bizarre flavors. This brand uses the theme of table food for their flavors. I thought the idea of bacon soda was both repulsive and hysterical at the same time. They also had Buffalo Wing, Ranch dressing and Sweet Corn flavored soda. I think the idea of ranch dressing flavored soda was probably one of the most bizarre flavors that I encountered while here. All of the Lester's Fixins labels look really cheesy and campy. I'm going to assume that Melba's Fixins are made by Lester's wife. Her sodas are more dessert flavored. I saw Apple Pie, Cherries and cream, Key Lime Pie, Peaches and Cream and Lemon Meringue Pie to name a few. They all have slices of pie on the labels. I think a lot of the sodas are actually ones that people may have actually drank in their past and they have a huge supply of those but the crazy ones really caught my eye. If you are looking for a soda from your childhood that you haven't been able to find, this is the place you need to check. I liked the store and the woman here was very friendly and polite. I am a sucker for good service and I even saw they had Wacky Monkeys available here. I bought one at an Asian market before in Florida and have not seen them since. I am happy they have them and now I know where to go to get another one. Check this place out and thanks for an interesting diversion. Oh and the Ghana Chocolate was great as was the taffy. I'll be back.

Just SOME of the offerings

GeeWhiz and GOLLY! This is a bad ass retro soda and candy shop. And they cover it ALL. Have a favorite candy from your childhood? Cant find it in your local market, im betting you can get it here! Everything from wax lips and wax coke bottle candy to Necco wafers. Yep, in fruit AND chocolate (dont know what my mom ever saw in these nasty things). I cant even begin to name ALL the candies you can find in here but they even cary some asian candy and snack faves like pocky and hello panda. The Sodas. HOLY crap on a cracker. Faygo. Got it, and nearly every flavor. Jones, pssssh, please. Jolt, and even the different flavors (yea, i didnt know they came in anything other than cola). Ever heard of Waialua? You have now And try a few of their flavors, i dig them). Orange, orange cream, vanilla cream, cola, strawberry, red (yea apparently not just a color but also a flavor), ginger ale, seriously this place carries loads. Smaller companies with awesome stuff, think of like micro brew for soda. Unique flavors and things you may not have heard of. Bacon. Yes, i said bacon. There is even more than one kind. They also have their own house brand with numerous flavors in every type you can think of. Are you brave enough to try a flaming moe energy drink? Yes sir, they have it with the favorite simpsons character right on the can and all. And yes, they have energy drinks of all kinds as well, crazy stuff i dont think i would ever put in my mouth thanks but to each their own. Not gonna lie, their price per each is a little spendy, but if you dont drink soda often some of these are an awesome treat. But they do give some price breaks for buying more. Its a cool place to stop in and take a trip down memory lane, maybe even taste a few flowers along the way. The people here are very nice, super helpful, and they will even call you when they get a specific flavor or product in if you ask. You gotta admit, thats just good customer service. And hey maybe you can find SOME of their offerings online, but do you really wanna buy a 6 pack of sarsaperilla to find out you dont like it? You can try them one by one here and not only find old favorites but maybe discover new ones.

Really friendly staff here and the manager was super cool! even let me take his picture for this!

Another great year of Piccolo Mondo (and Manager Nora) saving me time and money on family birthday…read moreand holiday gifts. In years past, I've always shopped in-store but started doing curbside last year when COVID hit. This year I did all my Christmas shopping for family kiddos online and had them delivered (free of charge if you live 10 miles or less from the store and your order is over $25) to my house. Personally delivered by Nora. I usually check the catalog I get in the mail, then go online to find if what I want is in-stock. Their website has been updated and it is so much easier to find the items you want. Much more intuitive and easy to navigate. There's a tad of a learning curve specifying that you want an item gift wrapped via their order form but a phone call to the store cleared that up immediately. Everything I wanted was rung up, gift wrapped FOR FREE, and delivered almost faster than I could put on my shoes and drive to the store. No parking hassle or being exposed to other people either. I love that I can shop locally and NOT at a Big Box store. Pretty competitive pricing as well. Usually there's a coupon for 10-15% off your purchase in the catalog, so that helps save a few dollars also. I'm a customer for life!

We enjoy the visits, and this has been our go-to spot for birthday gift-giving for our kids'…read morefriends. The staff are helpful, friendly, and great at gift wrapping. The prices are reasonable and selection is much cooler/more educational than your department stores. Very glad to have this business in our community!

It has several…read morehundred stores including popular brands like Aritzia, H&M, Tumi, Pandora, VS, A&F, Hollister, Coach, Pottery Barn and lots more. There's an Apple Store here as well. There are departmental store like JC Penny, Macy's, Nordstrom and a huge Dick's store. Few other unique places to me were Din Tai Fung and 85C Bakery Cafe. It's popular destination for tourists' shopping since there's no sales tax. The common spaces are wide, clean and have lots of open sky windows. There are plenty of sitting spots available as well for guests. We were in the mall for about 5 hours. We shopped in the Lego store, Tumi, VS, Dick's, 85C Bakery, and BoxLunch. We had friendly interactions from staff members in the all the stores. We also went to the food court on second floor, which was underwhelming compared to rest of the mall. The dining space had old tiles on the floor, the chair and tables were basic ones. There were 10-12 stores available offering a variety of cuisines. The food was decent from couple of stores we tried. Prices were little bit expensive. Overall we had wonderful half day spent shopping and dining at this mall. There was a good mix of popular and luxurious brands, offering wide range of products. The food court could use some facelift to match with rest of the wonderful interior of the mall.

Great mall 20 mins away from downtown Portland. Many fashion stores, shoes, sports wear, high end…read morebrands and restaurants. They also have a food court at 2nd floor.
