Strangely enough, my journey to this Rocket Fizz (Lancaster, CA) started because I was trying to be a good husband. A few months ago, my family and I were out on one of our marathon grocery-shopping excursions, and I overheard my wife tell our oldest that she had an unusual craving for a candy she once had as a little girl. While trying to be thoughtful, which doesn't happen as often as it should, I set out to buy some of that candy for my wife. It couldn't take but a few minutes, right? Needless to say I looked all over the place, over a period of several days, and nobody sold it. But recently a friend told me about an unusual store that sells unique candy, soda and other hard-to-find items. I found this business on Yelp and I was on my way here. Upon entering this Rocket Fizz, I was greeted by a friendly gentleman, the store owner. I made a short tour around the store, not finding my desired candy, and then the owner kindly asked if he could be of assistance. After telling him the candy that I was looking for he said that he would have a shipment coming later that day, with this candy included. Upon entering this store the following day, I was greeted by different store employees, the owner's sons. It turns out that this is a family-owned business. I should have known, because the young men helping me were just as friendly and professional as their father, each with a sincere smile and a desire to be helpful, which seems rather rare nowadays. They quickly directed me to my desired item. I left the store extremely pleased with my find, along with the service provided. It's very unusual to find someone that is willing to go out of their way for their customers, especially for a small purchase like mine. I'll be back. I highly recommend you check this place out as well. read more

I went in with my nephew, the man working just made my nephew so nervous & it sucked the fun out of it all. It was fun to see all the varieties & toys. We bought a gum, two mexican candies & a Spiderman key chain. No prices anywhere so such a ripoff for how expensive it came out to be. My nephew was so happy to get out of there read more

0 stars because the owner was so creepy following us around so we left everything behind and will NEVER be returning here don't advise anyone to come here it's uncomfortable . Also the First time I went the candy was expired already . read more

I didn't check the expiration dates before buying candy so all candies I bought were so stale/expired. I gave my little nephews a few candies too and they hurt their poor teeth trying to bite into the candies!!!! Zero stars if I could. read more

Very awkward for me and my family's first And last visit.. Owner was yelling at staff when we walked in. Screaming.. I thought it would stop, however we were forced to leave due to how significant his anger flooded the business. Disheartened. I desired a fun family experience read more

Nice variety of candy. However I felt like the cashier was adding onto the bill because only he could see how much the cash register said when he rang me up and I did not get a receipt. read more

Left the store noticed our candy looked old and come to find out it was expired from 2023. Candy was kinda expensive so i'd say it was not a good experience. read more

Owner is a scammer. They sell items online that are out of stock. Then they "cancel" the order... but they don't refund the payment!!! Literally have to escalate the issue, and hopefully online merchants block him from being able to scam again. Way to reinforce stereotypes read more

Two of the three candies I bought there yesterday were so hard and stale I could not physically eat them. The Big Cherry had no expiration date, and the Chick-O-Stick's expiration (which I should have checked) was 10/2/2022. The third candy was Necco wafers, which will survive a nuclear attack. I saw no prices on anything, and my receipt was not itemized, so I don't know what I paid for what. I don't like stores that don't post prices clearly. I was there primarily for some sodas to taste test with friends. read more

The main guy/ owner is a complete asshole I enter with my little cousin and he was mean staring at us the entire time and hounding us to hurry and telling us they only take cash when I see the tap pay and grab the candy from us read more

Rude rude rude owner! I went there to get candy for my sibling and it was three pieces of taffy for $1, I go to the front ready to pay and pull out my card and he puts his hand over the sensor and loudly exclaims "CASH CASH CASH". I explained to him I didn't have cash but the sensor was working and he said okay and snatched the candy! I wasn't going to take something I can't afford first of all, and second of all he could've been kinder to say or even put up a sign saying they only accept cash at the facility. Never am I going back and I hope he doesn't treat others like this. He follows people around the store closely and gives looks. read more

I feel like a candy store should be a fun and inviting environment. We went in the middle of the day on a weekday. It was kinda dingy looking with loud music in another language (not English) not that the language matters it just isn't something that kids can understand to make it enjoyable and exciting. The man who I am assuming is the own was frustrated when we didn't purchase any freeze dried candy even though I did make a purchase of another product. However, that product was stale and expired in 2019. I should have looked at that before purchasing so that is kind of my fault. read more

They need to remove their hours of operation because online says open till 10:00 pm and store window indicates it. I was at this location around 7:00 pm and the open sign was lit with all lights on. Misleading! read more

Rocket Fizz Lancaster - Open for business with no one inside!!! - Toy Stores Near Me - Lancaster, California

One star because out of all the 15 snacks I got for my road trip, only one was fresh. Every other candy or snack I opened was so old. Please restock and throw away your inventory and you will definitely get more clients read more

Great selection and the owners are super friendly! Will 100% be back! Thank you for the help with selecting fun candies and having the ones I missed from childhood! read more

Worst customer service I have EVER! We walked in and my Niece ( who is 24 years old) picked up an item unsure what it was and the pieces fell to the floor. The man was watching us the whole time and ran over and accused her of braking it and insisted we pay for it . It was already broken he was so rude we paid for it because my nephew is beyond Honest and bought nothing else!!! Not sure how they stay open unless this is a sales tactic. Stay away from from Rocket Fizz ! read more

I pretty sure the old dude behind the counter was smoking a cigarette before we walked in cause it smelled like a casino in there. Most of the merchandise that used to be unique has been replaced by the generic soda brands with just 'bacon soda' and 'ranch soda' type bottles of soda. Music was super loud which just added to the headache from the thick smell of cigarette smoke. Pretty upsetting to see children waving their hands in their faces while shopping for candy to avoid the smoke. read more

Wow. This place brought back all kinds of childhood memories. I can't believe how much candy and other cool stuff this place has. They even have New York seltzer. It's very hard to find in Cali. They also have cup-o-gold and Mars bars!! Go check this place out!! read more

I love this store because the owner is kind and so is the workers. They have a lot of candy,soda,toys!

I have always wanted to check this place out so we did tonight and I was not impressed. We were followed around as if we were going to steal, no greetings at all walking into the store or even asked if we needed help. The store worker was too busy watching a movie and looking irritated that there were people there. I did not like AT ALL that there were no prices anywhere. One candy I was going to get had an expiration on August 2021!! It looked like they do not even clean as there was dust all over the soda bottles. I just don't know how they stay in business. Some of the candy brought me back to my childhood but the uncleanliness and expired candy I saw left me wondering about quality, safety and the like. Was not even provided a receipt and the pricing doesn't add up. Also we're over charged on our soda. I do not recommend! read more

Overpriced and expired candy. The guy doesn't even scan anything. He just gives an overpriced guess. Three candies came out to 20 dollars. Way too much. Also, most candy is expired. He must have made a bunch of fake accounts to give business good rating. read more

You can find a lot of nostalgic goodies there. It's a little pricey, but a fun place to visit.

Super Amazing Owners Amazing vibe I saw candy from my time Took me back to my child years and high school years.the Hairy Harry was my hair shop app lol. Truly a fantastic place to visit. You will definitely see something you like definitely! Happy Shopping read more

They literally walk behind you as you look around, making us feel uncomfortable. Also I didn't realize the candy was expired until I got home. Someone should do something about it. read more

The owner kept staring at my family and I every 5 seconds with a mad face as if we were going to steal something . I bought 3 things and he charged us $20. I believe he just made up a price on the spot because he didn't give us a receipt . I will never come back again. Do yourself a favor and shop some where else more friendly. Horrible read more

Good candy and other things to buy but most is expired and hard. Bought candy today and came home to it being rock hard

Taffy not so great. Some old and hard, most of $5.99 bag sickening sweet flavor, no true salt water taffy taste. Order from some originals on line. read more

Oooookkkk so... I love the variety is old style candies ...but if your gonna work there.. you should really know what you have to offer. I was describing a type of candy I was looking for and the guy working had no idea what I was even saying let alone understanding. .....I'll be back I'm sure. read more

I havent been to Rocket Fizz in about a year but I stopped by today while I was in the area. I dont know when I'll be going by again because today was not a good experience. First there are zero mask compliance signs, zero social distancing place mats and none of the candies in the store are covered. What makes all of that even more concerning is that the owner was walking around the store with no mask, burping loudly and following the customers around the store. Highly disappointed because I used to enjoy coming to this spot. read more

Great place for the kids.. A little pricy this place has the old candy I remember. It also has so great retro signs.

I absolutely love this place, but the employee makes my experience at rocket fizz unfavorable. I would be looking at sodas , taking my sweet time in order to make sure i dont miss anything i would like, and he would grab a soda and say its good and put it in my basket. Im a very shy person so its hard to tell him to not do so. Everytime i come around with a group of friends or family, he would ONLY follow ME. I always feel so so so uncomfortable when i shop here. I often feel pressured to just grab stuff and go. Not enjoyable. Place is great though. read more

Are you nostalgic for sweets you haven't seen in years? Rocket Fizz is the place for your nostalgia fix. There is a huge variety of candy from "back in the day" through today. And then throw in a soda pop collection that is simply ridiculous in its variety and selection. The staff, from the counter to the owner are always friendly, helpful and simply amazing! This shop has terrific candy store ambiance, from the metallic signs and the glass soda bottles to the insane flavors and crazy candy selection. Experience an old school candy store at Rocket Fizz that will just make you feel good - you will depart with a smile. read more

Don't go here the person in charge over charged me for 2 candies and gum the price didn't add up he told me $1 more I gave him a 5 he only gave me back $2 . He takes your money in hopes you don't notice so if you do decide to go here make sure he gives you your change back he does this on purpose. Also no receipt was provided he didn't even ask he just handed me $2 back then ignored me. Please don't go here he seems a bit of a scammer in Hopes no one would notice. read more

Very uncomfortable. The man that works cashiers is literally watching your every move, my son pick up a toy and place it on the floor for a second and the man said he broke it when he definitely didn't. In other words this place sucks. read more
