Rocket Fizz: 5 Stars to Flavor Town! Rating: (5/5) Rocket Fizz is a total gem and stands out from other novelty stores. I'm giving it 5 stars and here's why: I've been to several novelty candy and soda shops and Rocket Fizz is the only one that truly has a more diverse and actually unique selection. It's not just about quantity, it's about the quality of quirkiness. You walk in and immediately feel like a kid in a candy store, but one that's been curated by someone with a wonderfully weird sense of humor and taste. My personal favorites were the bubble gum and sour raspberry soda - I never knew I needed it but I loved it! It was a surprisingly good and memorable drink that sums up the store's adventurous spirit. Beyond my soda find, the aisles are packed with retro candies, international treats, gag gifts and so many other weird soda flavors you'll feel overwhelmed - in the best way possible! If you want a shopping experience that's not ordinary, full of surprises and unique finds, Rocket Fizz is a must visit. Get ready to have your taste buds - and your sense of wonder - thoroughly entertained! read more

This place has the best candy and novelty items, but the customer service has A LOT of room for improvement. The girl behind the counter, with a bunch of piercings, seemed to have little, to no customer service skills, and scowled at me the whole time. The owner is pretty cool and nice, but the woman at the counter was pretty rude. Never made eye contact, or even said a word. She didn't really help people out either, just stood silently. Felt dead inside. read more

This place has such an enormous collection of different types of candy to different types of drinks, even strange drinks like butter soda, bacon soda, hot wings soda etc. There were several types of root beers alone, too many to just choose one! We bought chumlee rootbeer. I would definitely love to come back and try many of the other flavored drinks, even if it's just another root beer. Such an eclectic collection of candy and sodas. read more

Rocket Fizz - Chumlee rootbeer - Candy Stores Near Me - Houston, Texas

The store has a lot of cool and unique candies and drinks that you either never seen or haven't seen in a while. It's the throwback store where you walk around and reminisce about your childhood. We grabbed a few drinks and candy we have never tried before. read more

I think this place is definitely worth the hype! If you like trying different types of candies from all over the globe this would be for you. If you love old-school candy has been having a hard time finding that favorite candy of yours. I would highly suggest coming to rocket fizz. It was about a 35 minute drive from my house, but I promise you it was worth it if you end up like my comment if it was based off of what I said. read more

Great concept and it's fun to shop. My family went one Sunday afternoon and purchased a variety of items. My wife noticed one of the candies she tried had an "off taste" and then saw the item was out of date by months. Thinking this could have been a one off, we went through all the items we purchased and saw many pieces were similarly out of date. Hope they can fix this- my family would like to try again, but food safety needs to improve. read more

It seems that my love for this place has Fizz-led out at this point. But I digress. This is really just an expensive candy store located in Katy Texas, and while the selection isn't great, I do like the decor and I think it's super pretty and super fun, and in that case and in that regard I appreciate it being here, but having said that they could do a better job with the pricing. read more

Rocket Fizz - Fizz like the first time - Candy Stores Near Me - Houston, Texas

I was like a kid in a candy store. Except I'm 22. 5'2-5'6 with platforms. With adult money. An adult in a candy store. It's more fun when you don't have mom and dad to say no. All joking aside this place rocks. The guys working here are an absolute treat among all these sweets. Any and every question we had was answered. My husband and them even talked Wonka Bars . We took the boys here 2 times in one day, because we went the Dave in Busters and didn't want them to eat sweets, before running and blowing chunks on the arcade floor. We have them time to make a mental note of what they wanted and gave them a budget. $20 each. ‍After already spending $400 that day on food and entertainment. This place is really fun for adults and kids alike. These guys are so honest. My husband had like $70ish cash just loose in his pocket and I guess it fell out while we browsed the aisle. The manger saw the money and they picked it up checked the cameras and promptly returned it to him. My husband never realized he dropped it until they came to return it. These people are beyond kind and it goes a long way these days. I am so glad we stopped by. Besides their kindness we got to check out their wares. They have everything. I mean everything. It's a bit on the pricier side, but you pay for convenience. Where the heck can I get Dr. Pepper Cotton Candy on Sunday I. Houston at 4pm? The store is slow one minute and then busy the next. Everyone comes in waves. They had every flavor soda you could think of and I mean it. Butter flavored soda ? Keto friendly? Maybe. They had all five flavors of moon pies, my second favorite pie after cream . I was amazed by the options. I scored enough candy to get me through to my 24th birthday. Stop in even if just to window shop. Everyone on my Instagram had a good laugh at the soda flavors. I'll be sure to check in the next time I come by. Thank you guys for your friendly service! We will be back!! read more

Pop pop pop. Oops let me rephrase myself since I live in the South, lol. Soda soda soda! This place right is candy junkie and pop lover haven!!! As soon as you walk in there is so much pop and candy!!! The first thing I saw was cinnamon roll pop,,not to sure about that one, but what ever float your boat. The candy they had will take you back to you childhood, sweet water taffy, bit o honey and so much more. You know what else I sawGreen matcha kit Kat ......Yesssss!!!! This place right here made me re-live my penny candy days in the Burgh when I was little! read more

Super fun candy/soda/novelty shop in the Marqu'E Entertainment Center. I have to admit I get a little cross-eyes by the vast array of strange soda flavors like Sweet Corn, Butter, Buffalo Wings, Pickle Juice, Maple Syruo, Bacon, Ranch Dressing, Barf, Dirt, Grass and so many more! Don't let that deter you because they do have other traditional flavors such as Coke, Pepsi, a huge variety of Root Beers, Ginger Ales, Grape, Ginger Beer and soooo many more. Candy? Omg this place is reminiscent of another candy store on Alabama but I feel with a ton more options! They even have a bulk section where you can fill a small or larger bag for a flat rate. There are also dozens of flavors of taffy to choose from if that is your cup of tea. They also have novelty items like superhero lunch pails, fart bombs, shirts, cards and much much more. The owner is always they and is super friendly. He has this really cool Christopher Walken pic on a piece of wood he made based on something he saw in his travels that says "Walkens Welcome" which cracked me up. I asked him how much it was & he said that was the one thing that wasn't for sale. He said "I tell everyone that everything in the store is for sale except the wood, and he is on wood!" LOL If you've got time to kill before a movie or even after, this is a super fun place to check out because you'll lose a lot of time checking everything out. read more

Super cool place!! They have a little bit of everything from drinks, candy, chips, shirts, signs, puzzles and more. There's a lot of different flavors of everything. Not bad prices either. It is kind of a smaller place if a lot of people were gonna be in there at one time. read more

Great selection of candy though the prices are steep! We were looking for a large pixie stick and found what we needed along with a few other treats. read more

overall would not recommend. they didn't have much selection for good chocolates imo. lots of the stuff has so much dye and artificial ingredients read more

Awesome store, unbelievable amount of Sodas, more than I could keep track of. Candy selection was also very good, appreciated the variety and origin variety too. A+ would definitely recommend to anyone. read more

Very cool shop. Had no idea it even existed until we passed it up. Went inside and was pleasantly surprised! So many flavor of sodas I couldn't believe it. Definitely worth checking out! Very retro/vintage feel to it I liked it! read more

Amazing hidden gem! All the candy you can dream of and literally full of soda pops. I felt like a little kid again and I loved it!

Wonderful candy store with lots of selection! The staff is very kind and nice. We got some taffy and Mexican candy. My oldest had dropped and broke his lollipop literally 2 mins after leaving and walking to our car so i went back to purchase another one and the lovely lady (brunette hair, didn't catch her name) replaced it with a new one of no charge. That's customer service! We will be back! read more

The owner is extremely nice and helpful we bought a bunch of old soda for our son's first birthday and he grabbed a box and filled it for us was extremely helpful, he had just about every kind of candy you can imagine, really cool old signs Coca-Cola signs/superman signs all kinds of candy from back in the day!! Not to mention he's got great music playing in the background which is nice. I highly recommend the store I will give them six stars if they will let me!!!!!! read more

Noticed this place after eating Warehouse 72 next door. Happened to be one of the coolest candy stores I've been in. Lots of pop culture and unique items and not to mention candy and sodas. Found a gem in Rocket Fizz. read more

Came there not to long ago to check it out with my 2 sons. Lot of variety and vintage candy. The overall vibe was old-fashion and retro. An amazing experience, as new to the candy store I ask the cashier for suggestions for the candies and sodas. She was so kind and I loved all the candies she recommended! I believe her name was Ashley. My kids loved it and got a lot of candies and taffy and got some of the weird soda like the Bloody nose and cookie dough. Friendly-staff and loved the environment,classical music and variety in candy. LOVED IT WILL COME BACK AGAIN!!! read more

If your looking for nostalgia of your childhood this is the place to go. Ask for Elizabeth. Elizabeth is the best and has answer and knowledge. From the warm greeting to goodbye GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. read more

I'm so glad they opened this location right across the street from my house! All the taffy I can eat. My husband went last night and I went back to today. The owner is actually in the store, at the register, he's a very nice man. I was pleased with this hospitality and willingness to make sure I was taken care of. If it's your first time in the store make sure you ask questions. You can easily miss something because the inventory is amazing to say the least! I would give it 10 stars if I could!! read more

Had a great time visiting this store!! The owner is very friendly! And polite! I went to buy some taffy, and in the past days that I have been eating it, I noticed the taste was quite different, and the pieces were smaller, and some gooey out from the wrapper. I have bought taffy at Buccees and Dicks sporting goods already packaged and noticed those pieces were bigger and nicely wrapped! Cool store!! But I think I'll stick with the prepackaged and salt Water taffy! read more

Over priced and really not that great of a selection...pretty good for Houston but other cities have much better candy stores..

I love this place! They carry all the old school candy, signs, and soda. Can't wait to go back.

Stumbled upon this shop in West U and was sad that one closed but happy we still have one in Houston. My boyfriend and I are both huge root beer fans and you can't find a better selection anywhere than here. They also have tons of fun candy, sodas and gag gifts! read more

Took my cousins from out of state during their visit and they loved it. One of the few places where you can find all types of nostalgic candy. The cashier was also very knowledgeable on all of the various flavors of soda..which they have hundreds. It's a fun place to check out while in town. read more
