What a fun, old school shop! Of course I stumble upon this place after the doctor tells me that I have to cut down on the sugar so it was a more peruse and admire trip for me. They have pretty much every candy imaginable along with sodas that I've never even heard of. I felt like I would see something Ooooohhhh and Aaaaaaah over it, walk three steps then do the same thing. This place has it all, whether you are looking for something to cure your sweet tooth or a quirky little something something for someone, check it out! read more

This is a time killing store. Or maybe more of a time machine store. You walk in and are taken aback that so many different types of candies, chocolates and sodas exist! I mean there is on whole section for Ginger beer/ale/soda - 2 dozen varieties or more! Each stroll down an aisle brings back memories of a vacation, time with friends or some special sugar filled moment from youth. My mom, in particular, loves this store as it has all kinds of toys and candies from way back when. It is fun to walk around and hear the stories. There really is no compliant here. Good location in Writer's Square. Amazing selection. Prices all seem fine, maybe a little high but this isn't exactly 7-11, it seems like a place you make a special trip for, so I don't care.! Love it!! read more

For many it's worth a visit just for the nostalgic walk through your childhood. It's a hodgepodge of old school candy, faux retro candy and sodas, Japanese candy that's more cute than tasty, and random kitsch. Bacon scarf, anyone? (Yes, dear, I regret not getting the Dr. Who lunch box.) read more

unbelievably overpriced. charging $2.99 for a single pack of candy cigarettes. for reference a 24 pack on Amazon costs $12. and i have even seen 24 packs for $8 in Pittsburgh. an upcharge is to be expected but not by that much! and then they were charging $8 for chocolate oranges that can be bought for half that at safeway! they have a great selection but you are better off buying elsewhere. read more

Really fun candy store! They have all sorts of older candy that you can't find most places. It's a fun atmosphere and the service is friendly and helpful. Stop by if you're nearby and see what you can find that you haven't seen since you were a kid! read more

OMG!! I totally lost my mind when my friend pointed out the new addition to the Gardens on Havana. This is a candy store store and more!! I went to my first Rocket Fizz in Estes Park many years ago, and loved it. The selection of unique candies and sodas is out of this world plus you can find all your favorite. So I definitely recommend to at least check it out. Unfortunately whoever was working 3/19/21 afternoon for some reason was acting pretty weird and though I was talking to him he was watching my friend like a hawk. Seruously we were just two adults acting like happy kids in a candy store. I've worked with customers face-to-face for most of my life and I couldn't figure out what was going on. The guy that was working was acting so uneasy it made me feel uncomfortable. If you're that nervous don't work with customers face-to-face. My purchase wasn't cheep and only one of my candy items is something you don't find in every store. To the owner if you want your Aurora location to last don't let your employees treat customers like thieves. I know your other locations are in more "wealthy" areas of Colorado but we should be treated all the same. read more

Soda / POP from all over and their own brand of pop as well? nice! I love going to these types of stores and being able to buy whatever candy I like. I love that they have the old school candy from my younger days (and the days before that), a little bit of nostalgia as I get my hands on some of these. A great place to bring your parents and grandparents to give them that nostalgia and for every person that's still young at heart! read more

Fun, whimsical, and every dentists' retirement fund. This store has a very impressive selection of soda pop and candy from many places around the world. You can buy bulk, you can buy single. You can choose a soda pop in the flavor of bacon or kitty piss or ranch dressing. The options are astounding. Staff is super friendly and they greet you with a hello when you walk through the door. read more

I've never had a great experience at this particular location. It feels more like a candy shop for children than adults. The items are generally overpriced or out-of-stock. Sure, they have a great selection of European items if you're willing to pay for them. The staff is almost always either rude or indifferent to you. Most of them (the staff) are kids goofing off and eating the profits. My last visit here caused my credit card being compromised and a massive purchase being deducted from my checking account. Long story short, I ended up with the usual "We're sorry, please give us another chance" routine from management. Well, I have never been back and cannot picture a scenario in which I would return. #SorryNotSorry read more

This place was amazingly cool. The prices are hit or miss. Some candies are priced low, which is awesome, but some candies are way overpriced. The employees were fantastic though. read more

The biggest selection of sodas I've ever seen! I went in looking for a couple Rocky Mountain Soda Company bottles and left with a six pack. And I love that every single bottle is a "loosie", meaning its sold individually. You can buy multiples of just one flavor, but you're not limited to that either. In case you're into buying local, there's at least eight different RMSC flavors: Root Beer, Birch Beer, Lemon Limeade, Ginger Beer, Peaches n Cream, Prickly Pear - that's not even counting the Elderberry or Cola. I'm sure it was there in Rocket Fizz, but the sheer selection is overwhelming to say the least. If you purchase more than five (I think?) they offer you a small discount. I guess that extra money is to pay for your dentist bill a few months down the line. Really cool shop on the 16th Street Mall route if you like all things sweet and nostalgic. read more

Came in randomly, had some sodas we wanted to try. The employee working was super friendly and helpful and had some recommendations. Clearly likes his job! Lots of selection from sodas you've heard of and also not heard of, and a lot of candy read more

Simply a fun, nostalgic place to browse a wide variety of candy, and an insane variety of bottled sodas! A feast for all the senses, metal signs and lunchboxes artfully decorate the walls to the ceiling. Treat for kids or the kid in you! read more

When I walk into Rocket Fizz I am literally a kid in a candy store. And boy oh boy is that exciting to me! They have all kinds of new and old classics to choose from so it's safe to say there is something for every kind of sweet tooth here. They also have some seriously gross flavors of soda that I would never dream of drinking, but would love to watch someone else taste, especially on a day (hot wings soda or bacon soda for example.) And one of my favorite things is that they have bin candies that you don't pay for by weight. You pick a bag from the two size options and pay a set amount. You can then fill that bag up to the brim, or leave a little room if you don't want that much candy. Either way it's a flat price. On my recent trip I picked up all kinds of fun things from salt water taffy to Atomic Fireballs, from giant chewy Sweet tarts to candy cigarettes, from Freshen-up bubble gum with that weird liquid-y center to Pop Rocks, and that was just the beginning of it. I bet my dentist sure is glad Rocket Fizz has opened up in Denver! read more

Watch out Willy Wonka, you've got some serious competition for your factory! As far as candy shops go, this could quite possibly be the mother ship. I thought I was a mature adult but all maturity was thrown out the window when I walked into Rocket Fizz and it was all I could do to refrain from letting out a sequel of delight! Rocket Fizz is stocked head to toe with every type of candy imaginable. There is everything from the newest candy on the market to the vintage candies that haven't been seen in years. They have playful candy branded with popular cartoon series and they have barrels full of taffy and sweets galore. Vintage signs with hilarious sayings fill the walls. It's truly an amazing candy shop and one that will appeal to both kids and adults alike! read more

Kitsch and nostalgia is what you'll find at this store. And a whole lotta sugar. First of all, I have never in my life seen so many sodas! They line practically every wall and shelf in the store. They come in every color of the rainbow (and some colors you won't find in nature). Perhaps you might be interested in metal lunchboxes that take you back to your childhood, tin signs that say things like, "Mommy has a headache. Why don't you kids go play in the traffic?", and black and white 8 x 10 prints of Janis Joplin and other rock stars of a bygone era. Or maybe you'll want to dive in to the bathtubs filled with taffy and other kinds of individually wrapped candies. They don't weigh the candy, you just choose a bag size and fill it as full as you like for a flat rate. Not a bad deal. If you're looking for something that's not easily found in the grocery store or drug store, check here. They have lots of old fashioned and hard to find candies. I got a Twin Bing and some Mallo Cups here. There are also some unusual candies that probably no one should eat. I'm talking about candy covered crickets and scorpions. Some people might call those exotic but to me it's just gross. Of course, you can also get the usual suspects, like Snickers, Reeses, Twizzlers, Milky Way, etc. But why would you do that when you can mix it up a bit? read more

Candycandycandycandycandycandysugarcandycandy!!!!!!! I BOUGHT A LOT OF CANDY HERE THE OTHER DAY AND IT WAS ALL VERY GOOD! I JUST ATE A BUNCH OF IT. *SUGAR RUSH* But seriously, now that I've discovered I live less than a mile from a freaking candy and soda shop, expect to see me running laps around Capitol Hill while holding two pixie stix in each hand. My life may as well become fueled by this store alone. So, yeah, I have a bit of a sweet tooth. And this store feeds it. Feeds it good. It's got vintage candy, rare candy, regional candy, foreign candy, weird flavored candy and fun candy. Also, it has a lot of sodas of various flavors as well. But back to the candy. I got a lot of gummy candies and the gent at the register must dig into the inventory a bit because he was super upbeat, energetic and friendly. Honestly, a reason why I would go back is because he was such a nice guy. And he was actually really knowledgeable about his soda and candy. He answered a lot of questions other customers had. It was awesome. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go eat some more candy before this sugar high turns into a sugar low/coma. CAAAAAAAAANNNNNDDDDYYYYYYY! read more

From the reviews I've read, people seem to focus on Rocket Fizz for its candy selection. However it's really about the soda at Rocket Fizz. So much so that they make their own brand of it and the full name is Rocket Fizz Soda Pop and Candy Shops. And it's for their soda selection that they they get 4 stars from me. I was able to get Brent and myself several regional sodas that I can't get elsewhere. I was also able to find Big Red (B's favorite) in an old-timey glass bottle. As for their candy selection, I wasn't that impressed. Anyone who knows me, knows I love my UK candy and Rocket Fizz had the smallest selection of British candy I've seen. Besides, I can get most of it at Cost Plus now for less. Rocket Fizz really is a fun store and I'll definitely return when I'm downtown and need to kill some time. read more

This is my favorite rocketfizz. Biggest selection, and really friendly staff. I go here for my foreign, and old school candies. I mostly enjoy the constant availability of Charms sour balls, Chunky bars, pez, jujubes, gobstoppers, cow tails. Plan to be there for a while! It will bring you back. read more

WOW! What a fun place! The shop is jam packed with all kinds of candies and sodas. Everything from "vintage" faves you'll remember from your childhood to imported treats to regional goodies! If you're looking for an unusual gift or just a sweet treat, you'll love this place! read more

I purposely held off visiting this place forever... and alas, i have broken that streak and am in love! They have blow pops and cow tails (yup - weirdness abounds, but hey everyone's childhood was different, and likes put upon by your parents are quirky!) This place is huge and amazing and there is every kind of candy - seriously! And soda - omg - a trip down memory lane and teeth rotting goodness - hello real sugar! We picked up this and that - purposely without a basket - and still left happily with a plastic baggie full for under $10! They have candy from overseas - turkish twist (ewww) and kinder (mmm!) Definitely a fun stop, and they are open late! read more

This is such a fun place to visit while downtown! The store has great hours (usually around 10AM-10/11PM) so you can go anytime of day and not feel crazy wandering the store for hours. Trust me, once inside you definitely will! One inside you first hear the old music, see all of the tin concert posters or signs with action heroes (these are for sale too), and the mini shopping carts for the kids. The selections in this store are amazing! Tons of candy ranging from chocolates, gummies, taffy, international items, and much more. Oh, and did I forget to mention the soda? Everything from root beer, cola, sarsaparilla, and the interesting popcorn and chicken wind soda! No matter what age you are you will have a blast visiting, buying items, and talking to the staff. Everyone I have run across is great at recommending different types of candy and soda. Just tell them what you like, don't like and they will point you in the right direction. The store also lets you save money by buying soda in 4 or 6 packs, and by participating in their soda punch card system-buy 8, get 1 free! read more

Candy and soda fix right downtown! Love it! It's rows upon rows of candy and soda. Vintage posters on the walls for sale and overall awesomeness. You can do a mix and match 6 pack of soda for $9.99. This might seem steep until you see the types of soda they carry. Judge Wapner Cream Soda yes please, Death Valley Cream Soda the list goes on and on. They have vintage hard to find candy and imports for those looking for a taste of home. Can't wait to go back and I bet my dentist can't either! read more

This place is a pop (or "soda" depending on what part of the country you're from) lover's wet dream. You will walk in and feel like a proverbial kid in a candy store. Literally. You'll find every brand and flavor of soda(pop) imaginable here (Dr. Brown's, Bubble-Up) and some of the most outrageous: Judge Wapner cola? Kim Jong Il nuclear orange bomb? Bacon soda? Really? Even Jesus has his own bottled holy water (see pic). There's the "Wall of Soda" display rack showcasing every brand you'll find and shelves stocked with bottles everywhere. I came here because I was referred by a website that said they carry "The Pop Shoppe" sodapop. It had been over 30 years since I drank them back when they had a store in Wheat Ridge where Applejack Liqours is on Youngfield and it took me back in time to my childhood in the '70's. Five stars for that nostalgic trip alone. You can buy bottles individually but it is cheaper if you get a six pack. You can mix and match them too. There are also coolers if you prefer to drink your pop (or "soda") chilled. And not just sodas but candies too. Pop Rocks for that nostalgic "blast" from the past... candy cigarettes... bubble gum (Hubba Bubba)... lollypops... taffy... etc. Bathtubs filled with dime-store candies. Even original Garbage Pail Kids bubblegum cards still sealed in their wax packs (premium collector's grade pricing though). Rocket Fizz one of the coolest specialty shops in Denver to visit. If you are in Downtown/Larimer be sure to stop in. It's a sight to behold. And whether you call it "pop" or "soda" doesn't really matter kind of like whether you prefer Coke or Pepsi, it's all just six of one and half a dozen of another. Rocket Fizz will satisfy your thirst for all things sweet. read more

Rocket Fizz is all about nostalgia, and it does it very well. You walk through and feel like, if you'll pardon the expression, a kid in a candy store, and oldies from the 50s play throughout. My visit to Rocket fizz was on a total whim when I was walking through downtown after a Rockies game, though I had always wanted to go-it's hard to deal with downtown for just one stop for me. I was really excited to visit and I'm happy to say I was most definitely not let down. As I walked through, I saw candies I had never seen before, candies I love that are hard to find, and even more candies I hadn't seen since I was a kid. As we browsed, we often hard "Oh wow, remember these?!" from people of all ages. There was a sense of pure joy from pretty much everybody in the place. Besides their great candy selection, Rocket Fizz also offers a CRAZY amount of soda, in all sorts...even "hot buffalo wing". Huh? I wouldn't taste it, but come on, that's kinda cool. The only reason this isn't 5 stars for me is prices-some can be pretty outrageous. I understand they have imported candies that are hard to find, but $9 for a decently small bag of British candy is a little steep from me. Still, overall Rocket Fizz is a really fun little store that's a total nostalgia trip, and it offers some great candies and some crazy sodas. I'll be back! read more

This store is filled with candy nostalgia! Tonight was my first time time in this establishment and it was a great experience, the cashier was helpful helpful with suggestions and finding me candies I thought were discontinued years ago! The only reason this place falls short of five stars is because of the other worker there, he was very rude and incredibly unprofessional! He not only walked out multiple times, but he ran around the store just to tell me information the cashier had already said!!!! read more

When you can walk into a candy store, ask the shopgirl for Jammie Dodgers, and not only does she know exactly what you're looking for but sold the last pack yesterday BUT can find you three other goodies just like it as well as something pretty close to the jelly babies the fourth Doctor on the old BBC used to offer - then, you know you've found a keeper. Love me some Rocket Fizz. I can find wacky soda and bacon-flavored Pocky, the big packs of Necco wafers and every crazy Japanese treat I could want, as well as bulk penny candy and a variety of British goodies. You have to check out the walls full of soda. Not just the old standbys, but crazier flavors than Jones could put out. And more brands of ginger or root beer than you can shake a stick at. Bummed we didn't have Jammie Dodgers for the Doctor's regeneration on Christmas Eve, but we had plenty of other goodies to help us cope, thanks to Rocket Fizz! read more

As this place is just down the street from my office and on the main walking route for my lunch break, I will probably end up frequenting this place a bit too much. Oh well... You can find just about any kind of candy you may have a hankering for in this sweet shop. Along with just about any imaginable flavored soda. I think I saw a Hot Wing soda and maybe even a Bacon-flavored cola? I'm not really a soda drinker, but if I was I can imagine I could have some fun trying some of these unique ones out. The guys that work in the shop are super fun and really friendly. They can and have answered many a candy question, or just imparted me with some little-known candy knowledge on my trips in so far. Most of all, this place is just fun. Makes you feel a little bit like a kid again, even if you are hurrying back to your adult job to finish off your sweet treat. read more

Willie Wonka, eat your heart out! Your eyeballs will go into overdrive with all the happy, rainbow colors bursting throughout Rocket Fizz. This place has the best variety of old school candy and a crazy selection of sodas. There's also an okay selection of Asian candy, but it's cheaper just to buy them at an Asian market. I was sorely disappointed to not find any Violet Crumble. That was one of my super duper favorite candy bars growing up in Hawaii. It would have been nice to verify if they even sold it and maybe I just overlooked it, but the staff was MIA and I was too short on time to wait around. Boo! I was even ready to buy a crap ton of taffy, but there was no one around. Oh well, I'll just have to try again next time. read more

Candy obsessed. While visiting in July we stopped in to Rocket Fizz in Boulder and once we moved to Denver in August, knew we had to check out RF in our neighborhood. While we are big fans of the loose, pick your own bulk candy by the pound, RF is not like that. The store is filled with tons of chocolate bars, taffy, old school, classic and new confections. Love the root beer cooler in the back, tons to choose from. The staff here is very upbeat and eager to help... read more

I wanted to love this place. I wanted to go for awhile now. Decided to surprise my kids with a trip downtown to Rocket Fizz. So very disappointed. Walked into an empty counter, took us a few to walk around and find an employee. No greeting at all. We spent about 10 mins looking at everything, lots to look at. Fun nostalgic candy too. So expensive, I had figured it would be pricey but wow. I also thought they had a counter where you could sip on their huge selection of sodas, but no there is no counter. I had expected to walk into this super fun place, with fun employees, that was not the case. I would have happily spent more money if I at least enjoyed myself in there. So not friendly, lame vibe. The outside entrance has red velvet ropes set up to show the way in, cute touch. BUT, the ropes the were faded and the balloons attached were sad and old looking. One was popped and the other way out of helium. At least I can say we did it. Never again though. read more

I can't say how much I love this place. A novelty shop that sells everything deliciously mouth watering from old school candies to bacon flavored sodas. Even rare trading cards! This place is literally the gem of the shopping center it's in. read more

Super duper cool! Such a fun place, so many ridiculous and fun candies and sodas! A dentist and/ or diabetic might not love this place, but I dig it. There is so much crazy sugar and obsurd packaging, it could potentially be quite overstimulating! Damn near every candy I could think of is here. And lots I couldn've never dreamed of. There are some imported candies too, but they are a little pricier. Plus some wonderful oddities such as flavored floss, dashboard dolls, and chattering teeth. They also sell old school rock poster prints and tin signs at fairly affordable prices. The employees were super cool and there were adults and kids squealing with delignt! They also played a lot of old school music and have a punch card for if you get 8 single sodas, you'llget your next one free. How fun, I hope it is going to be here forever! read more

Vintage Candy Rocks! This place is within a stones throw of my office right downtown and I can sense many more visits in the very near future, dare I say once a week. This is exactly what a candy store should be, wall to wall candy for of fun for all ages. Kids would be in heaven, us older generation folk will be in shock to see the candy we remember from our childhood. No kiddin - the candy you thought wasn't made anymore, yep it exists and I guarantee this place sells it. It's like a Willy Wonka Wonderland. Let's see if I can give you a taste of what's offered: Every kind of glass bottled sugary soda you can imagine Oodles of flavors of pop rocks 70 different kinds of taffy it that's your thing Jelly Beans Air heads - my childhood favorite Sour candy of all kinds Gummy candy Mints Vintage signs with awesome slogans from all decades A small assortment of sugar free candy My favorite - the bag your own assortment of candies - Great price! I bought my first candy jar specifically for a visit to this store. Now I have a permanent candy jar at my desk. Have a question, come to my desk and get a piece of succulent candy. Not a bad deal. read more

Candyland! Rocket Fizz is filled to the brim with candy and sodas from all over the world and I am on a quest to try every strawberry candy they have. Let's see. There are Pop Rocks, taffies, hard candy and gummies. There are chocolates and chewies and Nerds and mints. There are novelties and goofy signs on the walls. There's fabulous music playing. And there are nice people working there. This store is going to be bad for my health. read more

THEY HAVE BACON SODA!!!!! I don't know if it is worth drinking yet, but we did purchase it, I think that is going to end up as a present. If you have a sweet tooth, this is the place for you, they have nearly everything that you could think of in the candy department, as well as sodas. While they aren't what you would consider cheap, a mix and match six pack is $9.99, more than a quality 6 pack of beer, there selection is remarkable. And it is fun to try a bunch of random new sodas. To compliment the candy and sodas they also sell very reasonably prices vintage and entertaining signs and such. Fun place, will go back, hope they get coconut twix soon. Saw them once at a Wal-Greens and haven't ever seen them again, Anyone? read more

Bacon flavored soda. Hot wing flavored soda. Kim Jong Il flavored soda. "Any flavor you could think of soda" and they have it. If you want to try something tasty and different, I would suggest melon soda, cucumber soda, and any variation they have of the ginger beers (they have a huge selection). They sell sixlets here (pesonal favorite)!!! And different flavored kit kats from Japan (green tea, strawberry, orange, chili) and Melty Kiss chocolate!! I was telling my friends about Melty Kiss for years and couldn't even order it on Amazon and they had it here!!! It's a little pricey but it's like eating choclate air. Delicious choclate air. And I don't even like chocolate but I LOVE melty kiss. The owner is nice and oh so charming. If there is a kind of candy that you want or soda flavor they they don't have, just ask him. He will write it down and try his darndest to order it to the store. They are also open late so for drunked debauchery on a Friday or Saturday night (or if you really need some gum) this place is boss. Oh, speaking of gum, try the clove flavor because it's pretty awesome. They really do have a little bit of everything. Now if only they would start carrying Pico Balla gummies by Haribo- that would be sublime. read more

This place seems to love farts. There was fart candy, fart soda, fart spray. Farts farts farts. If you're into that kind of thing, then this is the place for you. Putting that aside (as I, myself, am not much a fan of fart culture), this place is great. So many candies that I had no idea ever existed (but I bet my parents do). Lots of candy (old and new), sodas, and old timey memorabilia like lunchboxes and signs for the collectors out there. The store itself is pretty roomy in Larimer Square, and the place is PACKED with stuff, wall to wall of sugary goodness. You can also buy individual candies, jelly beans and salt water taffies by the bagful, if you just can't decide what you want. Flat price for the bag, not by the pound. So.... LOAD THAT SUCKER UP! When I get my next sugar rush (which won't take long), this shall be the place I go. read more

Amazing selections for Japanese confectionery and hard-find gifts in this store. I enjoyed browsing to buy souvenirs for my family.

What a fun store! So much to look at. I did want to try the bacon soda, but they didn't have it in stock. Next time I pop in hopefully they will. My mom picked up bacon flavored toothpicks and other stuff. read more
