Fun store on Pearl street that sells interesting things. They have a small selection of international candies. Also a taffy section and some interesting little trinkets and stuff. The different crazy flavored sodas are always entertaining and I like to go here for gift giving. read more

Rocket Fizz - Candy Stores Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Very cool place... a variety of sodas, cotton candy and international/retro candies I've never seen before (and I've been to a LOT of candy shops). Yes, they're very expensive but that's the price you pay for something that you almost quite literally cannot get anywhere else. Also, they have an arcade in thr back! Super cool one of a kind spot that I'd recommend to everyone. read more

Love this place! Such a unique vibe and so many different types of candy from all over the world! Even if you don't like candy it's a cool place to check out just for the soda wall. read more

Great selection of candies and snacks from around the world. These types of places can be dangerous for me because of my sweet tooth.

Candy, candy, candy! step into Rocket Fizz and you will be inundated with every type of candy that there is the be known to mankind! this place also has pop culture nostalgia items going back at least for the past 50 years. If you grew up in the 80-90s there is an arcade in the back of the store that has all the classics to bring you right back to your childhood, spending hours on end playing video games and hanging out with friends. No visit to the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder would be complete without a visit to Rocket Fizz! read more

This was my first time ever coming into one of these shops and it was beyond what I expected. I knew it was a soda shop but wow. They had so many different options it took me awhile to get through it all and look at all the different ones they had. From root beers to cola, to cream sodas to weird flavors like bacon. Then the entire right wall was taffy. I've never seen so many different flavors of taffy in one shop. They also had a lot of old time vintage candy and some fun weird types of candy. The staff here were really nice and were very knowledgeable about the product in their store. This is a really neat shop and I will for sure be coming back. read more

I have to say, I just love this place. Nostalgia! Candy you haven't seen in years, soda's you have never even heard of and hope they don't really exist (ranch dressing soda!). Plus some crazy toys, like a Wilhelm Richard Wagner action figure (right next to Michone from the Walking Dead!). This place has tons of fun stuff, the only issue is the cost...evertying is pretty pricey...and a lot of the candy has been sitting there a while... I'm a fan of the Ritter Sport Bar, but they cost about 5 bucks each after tax. Just marked up a bit high for me to do any actual shopping here, but it is always fun to stop in and see what they have! read more

What a serendipitous discovery to make right after lunch. Candy, candy, candy. Almost everything that you've heard of and much that you haven't. And a staggering selection of specialty sodas, if you prefer to drink your sugar instead. It's generally a fun space, with all those sweet products flying around, plus hilarious gag products, rock n' roll posters, and various pop-cultural cardboard cutouts. I wish that they had a wider selection of licorice, like the real stuff from Australia or Europe. However, I bought a container of Gustaf's (imported from Holland) which was outstanding. I also found a great Philadelphia product called Goldenberg's Peanut Chews that I had never heard of (as a PA native I consider this a serious oversight). Strangely, there were no bins of Jelly Bellys to be found, only a very few prepackaged mixes. I have explored many candy emporia in my day and this may be the first not to sell bulk Jelly Bellys. Curious decision, and disappointing. Generally, these prices seem a little high despite the relative rarity and/or far-flung provenance of some of the products. But if you consider it a splurge rather than a habit, don't think of the money and just enjoy a delightful treat. The layout is kind of chaotic, and if you're looking for something specific, you will need to scan every shelf and table in order to be certain that it is or is not there. The upside to this method is that you are bound to discover something whimsical or intriguing that you would never see at your local convenience store. read more

Overpriced af save your money and go to walmart or something it's all the same candy tbh

This is another fun candy store, but also has an arcade hidden in the very back. There is corners and corners of bulk candy, sugary drinks, gags, novelties and souvenirs. Please be cautious of taking photos with the Spider Man figurine because there is sodas stacked right behind it, which is soooooo bad idea. Why? Because I almost tipped a gazillion of those bottles and I would've made a mess. Knowing me, I'm a clumsy Nelly. Only two associates who did not greet us, but I learned to get over that quick. It was too bright and eye-catching to even care if they said hello or not. Will not be bringing my kids here because I could very well drop 2K easy on candy and gifts. read more

This place is so fun, it's a feast for the eyes and if you like candy you could have an actual feast too! They've got everything from old fashioned candies full of nostalgia, imported and unusual varieties as well as the latest sugary treats. The soda selection is amazing - I've never seen so many different kinds of unusual sodas in one place! As if that wasn't enough of a reason to drop some of your hard earned cash here, the store is also filled with gag gifts, retro posters, tin signs, lunch boxes, hats, mugs, masks and miscellaneous little toys and even has a little arcade in the back of the store. read more

I am a big fan of Rocket Fizz!! I love all of the old school candy, the variety of sodas, and the funny gag gifts throughout the store (bacon toothpaste!). I am from Wisconsin and this is the only place in Colorado I can find Sprecher root beer (must try, sooo good!). I have nothing but good experiences when going here. read more

This place is interesting. There's a variety of novelty items, candies, & soda. The group of us came here from Cali. We were walking around the downtown area and saw this shop. They have this cool game that tests your grip strength. If you can get the highest grip, they give you a free soda or something like that. If you want to try to find some long lost candy or items here, try looking here. read more

Simply Amazing. Best Rocket Fizz I have seen. Huge, packed and has an excellent Pinball and video arcade in the back.

Usually it's fun to look around and buy candy, pranks, gags, etc. usually I go for the cheaper small candies since the rest is kind of pricy. If you're taking a stroll through pearl street mall, this is a fun place to visit... BUT There was a guy who worked there that was following me the moment I entered, like I was some crook or something... pretty creepy, I don't know what was going through his mind. This usually doesn't happen though :) read more

For some reason, I eat more candy on vacation than during my normal non-vacation life. Could it be because candy is a sometimes-food and vacations are the sometimes-foods of life? Could be. So Rocket Fizz was a great find on a recent trip to Boulder, and I like the concept and execution. They offer a wide variety of rare, imported, classic, and hand-to-find sweets. I was able to score some Goo-Goo Clusters for my mom, who likes her chocolate with a bit of nostalgia. My husband found some very good licorice, too. For moi, I was momentarily disappointed that they do not carry bulk Jelly Bellys and in fact only a couple of the specialty mixes here and there. Jelly Belly, being the United States of the candy world, deserves a place in the UN that is Rocket Fizz. I'm not trying to start WWIII here, but let's just say nobody puts Jelly Belly in the corner. I was able to tame my sugar beastie with salt water taffy - yes, salt water taffy, that candy which I myself maligned as recently as February 2012 (http://www.yelp.com/biz/great-american-popcorn-co-galena#hrid:W4_K97bbqKDuW5J63od2zg) and as early as July 2011 (http://www.yelp.com/biz/candyality-chicago#hrid:0XanZxUayLKXBfoSRSkc9Q). But dare I say I really enjoyed this stuff? Rocket Fizz has a huge selection of good flavors (root beer float, chocolate chip cookie, s'mores, cinnamon roll, chocolate malt, hot cocoa, etc.) I actually liked them enough to get more when we happened to walk by the Denver RF location. So I take back what I said, and apologize to salt water taffy and the people who love it. You're right, it can be really good. Speaking of root beer, they have a huge selection of root beers and other flavored pops. We didn't try any on this visit but would probably conduct some taste tests if we lived nearby. I'm glad to see root beer getting some love though, and not just from Mormons. The store itself is kind of chaotic but it seems to work. In addition to the candy, there are tons of toys, gag gifts, rock posters and tchotchkes. They also play some sweet classic rock for your listening pleasure. Rock on, Rocket Fizz! read more

Why delete Logan's honest review? Shows a lot about your business. A close friend of mine worked there for a very short time years ago and the owner was very cruel. He watched us from his home all the time on the security cameras. He would call if he saw anything on the cameras that was not to his liking. Deleting an honest review because it was not in favor of your business, is very telling. read more

my shop to get a lot of the candy when i was a kid. I think i saw Dinasour eggs.. i don't know but the shop is pretty darn cool. candy, drinks, toys... everywhere. last few times i loaded up on Spree and Chewy Spree... the licorice there is awesome string red? yes..... its a tad pricey but its pearl i'm not expecting it to be like .50 or .75 .. but yeah Pearl st. read more

I can't decide how I feel about Rocket Fizz-- the Denver location or the Boulder location. First the drawbacks: it's trying to feel local and independent and one-off and Boulder-y, but it's a franchise, and it feels like it. Also, maybe it's organized somehow, but the scheme is lost on me, especially for the sodas. On the bright side, if you're like Buddy the Elf and your food groups are candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup, this is your store (well, except maybe the syrup). The selection is huge, with old-school candies, imported goods, and lots of things I've never even heard of. I was especially impressed with the drink options, and really like the Australian root beer that I tried. I wouldn't make a special trip up to Boulder for Rocket Fizz, but it's a good stop while you're exploring Pearl Street. read more

I love Rocket Fizz! We were sad after Powell's went out of business, but this was an equally great discovery. THE TAFFY - they probably have upwards of 30 different kinds. Think coconut, coffee, blueberry muffin, mango, key lime, chocolate malt...and it's perfectly soft and chewy. They also have a great selection of hard-to-find candy. read more

I had never been here before because candy novelties are not really my thing. But I needed something for a token gift and I knew this store had the old fashioned candy. I bought the item right away, intending to just leave, but oh, there were so many oldies but goodies on the shelves that I had not seen in a VERY long time. So I stayed to browse to get a sense of the scope of their stock for future reference. Actually quite fun and the clerk was so friendly. read more

Wow! This is a classic Soda pop & Candy Shop! Locally owned and operated too. I met the owner and his family when i shopped there over Thanksgiving weekend. Thank you for opening this awesome store. They have Birch Beer and the largest selection of Root Beer i have seen. you can get a few pieces of salt water taffy for less than a dollar or you can spend more on some fine British Chocolate. They also have classic gags, concert posters, tin signs, toys and pretty funny White Elephant gifts. read more

Wow, this place is amazing! I am a big time candy lover, while my husband despises it. However, even he couldn't help be amazed at all of the flavors and shapes and vintage-style goodies! They have an overwhelming collection of soda flavors, some totally crazy (Gus's Gross Pimple Pup-- no thanks but let me know if you try it!) and some mouth-watering (marshmallow soda-- yum!) There's an entire section of licorice, every-flavor jelly bean individually packaged, tons of taffy, and bizarre imports-- like Japanese green tea Kit Kat Bars--whaaat? Prices are not exactly low, but if you want cheap candy, go buy some CVS brand red hots. Staff was friendly and helpful! Deciding what to buy was time consuming and difficult...I wanted to try it all. I can imaging being a kid in here would be like...well....you know. read more

I haven't seen a store like this before, even though they're all over! I was impressed by the wide variety of sodas that they have in every conceivable flavor! I had to try the bacon soda, which had a "bacony" taste with a hint of maple syrup. And then there was the candy! I know they had a huge variety of retro candy, but nothing really caught my eye because I was concentrating more on the soft drink variety, and I didn't have very much time left for my lunch break! I'll have to come back when I have more time and check out the rest of the store! read more

Updating my review to 5 stars. great candy. big fan of chocolate covered gummy bears. Customer service 4/5

Cute candy store - lots of "old fashioned" sodas available. While it may be a chain, I think it's a good addition to all the other stores in the area. Bring cash for small purchases. read more

Loved this place so much! It had such a wide variety of soda candy and fun trinkets. Very touristy. I went to this place about 3 times while in boulder. I never wanted to leave the store! it little pricey, but you can get many things here that you cannot elsewhere! read more

Rocket Fizz - Candy Stores Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I cannot believe how many people reviewed this negatively. So they dont carry bulk jelly bellys, the move overrated mass produced jelly beans in the US. This store is not for the narrow minded people. Each store is franchised and will be different. The store carries a huge selection of soda's, which is their landmark products. I have never found a better store selection of different sodas carried here. They have different foreign candies and retro posters lining the walls. Very cool, but their selection of bulk candy is severely limited (which is why I deducted a star). It is smaller than the denver store, but their soda selection is OFF THE HOOK. I will be returning, but only for the sodas. Oh, they have a ton of salt water taffy candy, but its not my favor. read more

Crappy service. I paid for half a dozen sodas. Without leaving the store, literally a minute later, I realized that got one of them wrong flavor, asked to swap. They said no (it was the same price). You know what? You will not have my business again due to your crappy policies. It's not a "RETURN" - I'm right there, in front of your eyes. read more

Great mix of new and old candy and signs around the store. They did a great job of intergrating new candy and signs in with the old ones. Mixture of candy that I haven't even heard until I was here. I like the Big Bang Theory stand up cardboard figures. This has been quite the experience. The old time soda flavors are very unique and delicious . read more

First time ever being to a rocket fizz so I was not sure what to expect. Everyone that worked there was super friendly. If you're into geeky stuff, soda, and candy then this place most likely has exactly what you're looking for or in my case what I didn't even realize I wanted. Even has an arcade room in the back! read more

Cute little boutique shop that sells funny action figures and a shiz ton of candy. Literally anything you can think of that has an overload of sugar you can probably find here. I'm a personal fan of the awkward photoshoot with the cardboard cutouts around the store- I don't know why Ron weasley looks so constipated (maybe he ate too much of the candy). Anyway if you're a nerd or a sugar fiend, this is the place for you! read more

It's cute, it's obnoxious, it gets you excited about all the possibilities until you see your total.

Came here during a vacation to Boulder. It's really cute and campy - perfect for a tourist like me. But, I found out I liked looking at the stuff more than actually buying it. Like a weird candy museum. My five year old boo didn't even want anything! Weeeird. read more

This place is awesome! There's a variety of funny and cool items to choose from, not just candy. They carry a lot of different things, such as lunch boxes, magnets, toys, lip balms, and of course candy. My favorite thing there has to be the taffy selection, where there's all kinds of flavors of taffy. If you want to come here,I would recommend getting taffy from the taffy display. read more

This is a genius idea and more cities should have this shop. The candy selection is fine, especially the taffy. But it's the soda that really adds a unique dimension. You can't find many of these brands anywhere else, and so can make some good new finds. The staff was very helpful in their recommendations, both good and bad. read more
