wow wow WOW! this was such a cute blast into the past First, you hear that iconic storefront bell ring when you walk in. Then, you see rows, islands, and walls of candies and sodas. You can find classics like Necco, or new things like spicy gummy bears and ranch-flavored pop.. I was most impressed with the *treasure chest* full of cotton candy. From chamoy pineapple to Dr. Pepper (I do not recommend) -- there were so many options!! Out of everything I tried, the gummy sushi platters were my all-time favorite! But I highly recommend picking up something new to go along with it... just make sure it isn't the Chocolate Bacon soda or Salted Black Licorice. I'd only wish those on my enemy :) read more

Rocket Fizz - Indianapolis - Jones cane sugar soda // flavor: cream soda - Candy Stores Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Whenever my lil buddy comes to spend time with me, we have to explore things together. It's a must. Rocket fizz and I have a wonderful relationship as it always carries some of my old school favorite candies and when my grandbaby mentioned he wanted to try rock candy, I knew exactly where to take him too. Rocket fizz has 2 locations that I am familiar with. One in Plainfiekd and one in Downtown Indy. I love both locations but downtown on the circle was our choice. When the monument isn't under construction I love walking the steps. We parked a block away and walked back. And once inside we were in candy heaven. We spent alot of time perusing. Because their were so many choices it was hard for my grandson to decide until the store clerk mentioned she just made some grab bags. Excited he was. They were pricey but it was for the fun of it all for him. It has been a while since we've gone but he still talks about our visit. And for me, the memories are worth every dollar spent. read more

Such a fun store and right downtown for all to visit. I checked in on Yelp and got a free goodie bag. I just love reading all the labels of the sodas. They have unique candies in here too! My friend found one she hadn't seen since living in Oregon. Lots to look at and the inventory changes so it's always fun to bop in for a look. read more

Sweet shops seem to be making a bit of a comeback. Long ago you could buy hard candy in bulk along with all sorts of other sweet goodies. Rocket Fizz offers that vibe but in an updated format. The store in downtown Indy features traditional bulk candies along with many specialty items you may not see elsewhere, with a large selection of foreign made candies. They also have a huge selection of craft soda with unusual flavors, such as chocolate/strawberry and bacon. Recommended. read more

This place is seriously cool. All the candy nostalgia you've ever wanted all in one place! I saw some of my childhood faves that I thought had disappeared for good. I also came across drinks and novelty items I haven't seen in stock any where else . I picked up a lemon starburst lollipop.Need a party hat for your cat? Or pizza shaped bandages?They got it.Get yourself a cold soft drink from their cooler (around $2.50 a bottle )then go walk downtown and take in the sights. read more

Deciding to walk around downtown Indianapolis for dinner options and wanting to immerse myself in the local scene, I came across Rocket Fizz candy shop. Rocket Fizz seemed out of place for a candy shop in a downtown merchant atmosphere, but then again, it's Indianapolis. My stomach had been grumpy and needed something to quell that, so I decided to go inside to see what this shop was about. It's basically a retro shop that seemed a flashback to the early 2000's or even the mid 1990's. It was a step back in time really. There were a lot of candy options you can purchase. The store was empty when I walked in around 6pm on a Thursday afternoon. It was crazy since sunset didn't happen till after 8pm. And so, I looked around and found a Red Bull esque type of drink in those commercial refrigerators. Usually the drinks are found in the back of the store. I decided to purchase one, just because u needed it to function. They do sell other things but the candy I think was their primary sales. The ambiance was quiet and almost like it could use a music system to liven things up. For the most part though, it was an interesting experience here at Rocket Fizz candy store. The store itself was organized masterfully and it was definitely clean and aces in my book. If you're in the area and enjoy sweets and vintage candy brands, consider coming here to Rocket Fizz in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. The overall experience here at Rocket Fizz store in downtown Indianapolis Indiana was quite a departure from the usual typical tourist thing that most people do. It was a step back in time in cozy surroundings for sure. The store itself isn't large but small enough to be submerged in such nostalgia. I can still remember parts of that era, that's when the internet was still in its infancy and smartphones were not even available yet. Such simpler times. I ended up paying cash vs pulling out a credit card since they posted a credit card limit on it on purchases. It was a good to be able to recapture that part of my life while shopping and looking around here. The drinks that were on sale were basically like like Red Bulls, way too sugary and sweet for my own good, but was needed. The guy at the counter was cool and friendly. Service was great and quick too. Definitely a hidden gem if you love candy and the nostalgia of a bygone era. Come to Rocket Fizz in downtown Indianapolis if you're in the area. Rocket Fizz is located at 55 Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. It's located next to a cluster of shops circling Monument Circle itself. They accept major credit cards, with a purchase minimum. They also will gladly take cash too. Not sure about parking options, although there are some places to park on the street. I basically walked from my hotel on Washington Street to get here. I bet that the IndyGo bus system can also get you here as well. I'm just a tourist exploring the SW downtown Indiana corridor. If you are staying in downtown Indianapolis, it's a nice walk to hear for a slice of nostalgia. If you're in the area, pop on by. 4.0 stars for the overall experience. 4.0 stars for the ambiance and service. Support local! B read more

Rocket Fizz is a great spot to stop while in downtown Indy. It's located near the busy circle near the soldiers monument and stays open late for the crowds. This shop specializes in nostalgic candy from your past and speckles in the classics or commonly known options like sour gummies. I also liked the multiple soda options and how organized they were, from root beer and cream soda or orange dreamsicle. You can get drinks out of a fridge for immediate enjoyment or warm to enjoy later. Bag candy can be filled for $7-10 per packet. I didn't see an option to pick a smaller selection and pay by weight. They did offer pre-packed bags of taffy. The store also display metal signs on every wall that are for sale. For a crazier purchase find the horse, unicorn and other animal masks hanging on the wall. read more

So Yelp removed my last review about Rocket Fizz and I'm at a loss as to why. I gave Rocket Fizz praise for being able to order the Cola my cousin wanted and mentioned how packed the circle was with people leaving the Circle Theater. The staff was super friendly and helpful even though the place was packed. Rocket Fizz is right next door to the Cirlce Theater. The Circle lighting had also just been done about a week earlier so there were tons of cars on the circle. Parking was hard to find. read more

Rocket Fizz is such a fun, entertaining, and quirky shop that any leisurely visit to the Circle wouldn't be complete without a stop in to see what ridiculous and delicious items they have in stock. Filled from floor to ceiling with soda, candy, and metal signs, Rocket Fizz boasts one of the most extensive collections of all things edible and eccentric that I've seen! Think Cracker Barrel gift shop, but way better. Their candies range from mainstream candy to treats from Europe or from decades ago. My parents like to stop in to reminisce on the candy of their youth and pick up a few fun treats. If you stop in, be sure to check in on Yelp to get a free mystery bag of candy! Stop in to find some yummy treats from across the pond or from the past and enjoy the whimsy of it all! read more

We have always loved this fun candy spot downtown. We stopped by after wandering around for a bit downtown and found some yummy chocolate to share. It seemed the store was a bit bare and it almost looked like they were packing up to move? The line was long so I didn't ask about moving, but we found some great items and the staff was super friendly. If you are looking for some fun Tim posters or root beer options or candy come check out this spot. They often will be able to order unusual options if you don't see your favorite old time candies. read more

There are about 10 different root beers, and after trying 4 of them, Triple xxx came out as number one. read more

While the decorations and theme of this candy shop are quirky and fun, the actual treats were deeply disappointing. They have lots of interestingly flavored sodas on sale ranging from peanut butter to coffee. I tried the pickle flavored one and, while the drink definitely smelled like pickles, it just tasted like sickeningly sweet plain cream soda. There was no actual pickle flavor all, it was so disappointing. They also had buckets of saltwater taffy and smaller candies that you could fill up a bag with and purchase. I was particularly excited about this because I absolutely love saltwater taffy but I'm guessing the bins with all the candy that you could choose from had been out for a very long time because everything was so stale. The taffy was rock hard and tasted like it was years old. Overall, I was disappointed but the store also had a bunch of unique imported candies hopefully some of those tasted better. read more

You like soda? You'll get soda! Crazy amounts of soda in insane flavors like ranch dressing and bacon chocolate to humorous flavors/titles like Stalinade and Nuclear Orange Bomb (part of a line of beverages dedicated to dictators) and of course, more traditional sips like ginger beer and cream soda. Plus tons of candy (imported and otherwise), a bulk area of salt water taffy, and other novelty gifts and fun! Employees are a dream--so fun and funny. I guess you have to be if you work at a place like this! My only regret? I didn't bring packing materials to bring home some bottles in my suitcase and sadly we don't have a location in Michigan yet. Next time, I'm bringing bubble wrap. read more

My seven year old thought she was in Heaven upon entering Rocket Fizz, and truth be told, so did I. Our senses immediately went into hyper mode being stunned by every color of the rainbow on the 'vintage' concert posters, the fun kitschy gag gifts and every kind of candy you could dream up! Seriously, we were in awe everywhere we looked. All I heard for the first ten minutes were "Mom, look!" and "Whooooaa!", but we hadn't even seen the soda yet. Bacon soda, Buffalo Wing soda, Sweet Corn, glow-in-the-dark Radio Active or Martian soda?! Who could decide on just one? The staff was attentive and very helpful in answering any questions we had, offering suggestions along the way. We walked out stocked with stash for a proper sugar buzz, got plenty of fun pictures (my brother bought an 'arrow through the head') and BONUS *** picked up a free 'Grab bag' for checking in! read more

I first visited the Rocket Fizz in Denver, and I loved it. Where else would you find hundreds of novelty candies alongside every conceivable soda? Denver's location is bigger than Indy's, but the vibe is the same. It's fun to scan thousands of flavors to find just the right pop. I had to deduct a star because the cashier made a weird and lame joke as we were checking out. My girlfriend pointed at the fart spray sitting by the register. Then the cashier said something like, "You don't need that. I smelled you when you walked in." Wha? I advise you to stick to your day job, sir. I will take these sodas and drink them at my leisure. GOOD DAY! read more

Why don't candy stores like this exist anymore? We're so glad we found this one! It's a store full of treats and trinkets that you don't really need but if it's in front of you, you can't live without it. We spent more money here than we expected, but we don't regret it! read more

This place is reason enough for me to return to Indie (although, in my research I discovered there are other locations in the US) First off, I have the biggest sweet tooth ever, so I usually try to avoid candy stores at all cost. But when on vacation, why not indulge a little bit? Although I was presented with so many delicious choices, I decided on a bag of salt water taffy. You can fill the bag as high as you want, the only caveat is that it has to tie closed with a twist tie. I had fun spending a few minutes tying the bag, then throwing in a few more pieces, then tying it again--until I couldn't get anymore in the bag. There were so many great flavors, but I discovered that the Raspberry Lemonade was my favorite. Not only is there all the candy you could ever want, they have a giant selection of nostalgic sodas. We had brought a bottle of dark rum in our suitcase hoping that we'd be able to find some non-alcoholic ginger beer at one of the stores to make some Dark and Stormies. We ended up finding it here! Woo! They were about $2 each and completely worth the price. We actually came in here a few times during our stay in downtown Indie and the girl working the counter was really friendly and joked about our return visits. I love this place! read more

We just recently discovered Rocket Fizz and we love it! You can find imported sodas and candy from Japan, and the UK. If you haven't tried Cadbury chocolates before, I highly suggest that you do! They also have hard to find sodas, and candy, some that you probably didn't realize still existed. One product that we love, and haven't been able to find in years, is Bawls. But we found it at Rocket Fizz, they have original, root beer and cherry. Of course they have the unusual specialty sodas, such as sweet corn, bacon, coffee, pumpkin pie, and so much more. Another awesome thing they have are some great 'tin' pictures that you can buy, lots of Superhero ones, classic movie stars and others. They can be a little pricey on some things, but it's not too bad. read more

So interesting and fun! It's like going to a Spencers novelty store but you're looking at sodas, candy, tin signs, toys, mystery bags. They have Farrah Fawcett soda. And a lot of dictator soda.

This store is SO FUN!

I don't write yelp reviews. Yet here I am. I came from Kentucky to Indianapolis for the International Conference On Missions. Walking around the city I found a few GOOD shops, but only 1 GREAT shop. What made the others only good, was either the workers' attitude (usually bad) or the prices of what they were selling (usually high). I am no expert or authority on this matter, but this place seemed to sell a wide selection of rather odd and/or uncommon sodas and candies, as well as elegant looking root and birch beers for what also seemed to be low prices. I'm not a candy person myself so I didn't pay much attention to that, but when I saw some of their unusually flavored soda, I expected to pay more than I did. What really.....*ahem*.....SOLD.....the place (see what I did there?) was the friendliness of the people working there. A part of me wanted to go back just for them. I wish I had remembered to learn their names. I highly recommend stopping by and at least checking to out. Sincerely, the guy who's girlfriend has nine brothers read more

Run, don't walk to Rocket Fizz and if you check in through your Yelp app, you'll get a free goody bag that rocks. read more

If you have a favorite candy, it's probably here. I had a great time going through the store and looking at some of the throwback candy from my childhood and see some of the new candies in the shop. All the employees were delightful despite being near midnight on a Friday night when you'd expect them to be tired and ready to leave. While talking to a friend trying to remember what a candy was called, an employee overheard and helped determine what candy we were thinking of and show us where it was in the store. read more

Kicking it old school at this corner candy shop right in the Monument Circle! A must-see if you're checking out downtown Indy. This place reeks of novelty with its large selection of candies and delicious glass bottled sodas. I was in awe at all the varieties of fancy-schmancy sody-pops and the great selection of sweets to fulfill my perpetual sweet tooth. I went in after class one day and picked up a bottle of 100% cane sugar root beer (Chicago-style!), some old-fashioned taffy, and a couple candy sticks (like peppermint sticks but more flavors - only $0.25!). Wow! That really hit the spot when I went to shift sets and props later that day. Nothing beats the taste of a true root beer in an ice cold glass bottle along with a licorice candy stick. Ugh, heaven! My only criticism is the lack of candy variety. They do have a large selection of new and old candies, but the old candy selection is somewhat limited for a candy store. I mean, we can all get KitKats and Reeses at the local gas station. I love candy shops that have things like rock candy and those little Styrofoam saucers, ya know, stuff for those archaic candy-lovers. They do have a table of Cadbury chocolates though, which was a surprise. Noted for those rainy days and needing some UK-style pick-me-up! read more

When you visit Rocket Fizz, you'll feel like a kid in a candy store! There's just an eye-popping array of candy, sodas, and retro posters. It's a gift basket waiting to happen - for someone you care about OR yourself! And it's refreshing to shop for candy that's beautifully displayed, as opposed to a depressing checkout aisle. I love the international candy section. Cadbury's Dairy Milk bars were a highlight of a trip to Europe, are infinitely better than Hershey's (trust me). I often wondered how I'd get my hands on one here in the States. Rocket Fizz, you're a hero! read more
