Rocket Fizz is a candy lovers DREAM! Don't take your kids here to "just look around" -- there's no way to not find something you want to buy here! They have every trending candy, like Dubai chocolate, wax candy, crystal candy, freeze dried candy, and more. They also have candy from various parts of the world, like London, Japan, America, etc. I love all the fun nostalgic candy too. Plus, they even have candy flavored sodas. It's like if Willy Wonka himself opened a candy shop!

This store is so cool. You feel like you went back in time. They have products I haven't s since I was a kid. I really like the Lay's chips from oth countries. I like spicy so I bought three different flavors. The lady working likes spicy and helped me with my selection. I really like this store and will be ba.

This store was so fun. They have so many crazy flavors of soda and some fun candy flavors. If you like interesting flavors this is the place for you. It's also great for people watching because you can see people becoming so excited by the items. I got a couple candies and strawberry cheesecake soda to try. Definitely recommend a stop here. Worker was also super nice.

This place is pretty cool. I love going to these shops! There's so much to look at! There was a few squid game things I wanted, but I couldn't afford it. I got 2 clearance chocolate bars and a schraderbrau orange soda. I love breaking bad! The guy who worked there was nice. There's just so much candy, soda, and pop culture memorabilia.

I love this store very much because there is a lot of candy and sweets to choose from, good service, and nice atmosphere, too!

Who doesn't like a solid candy shop with tons of retro memorabilia which will take you youngsters back a few years? This location is awesome and what a cool place to browse and take fun pix you can post on Yelp and Snapchat!! The kid who works here is so lucky to be in this environment! I highly recommend!! The last time I was in RF was in Parker, Colorado. This location is SO MUCH BETTER!!!

Dubai Angel Hair Chocolate! Milk chocolate, pistachio and pomegranate flavored cotton candy.

Seriously, how do you walk into this place and not leave with something? Rocket Fizz San Clemente is always spotless and so well-organized, it just makes the whole experience so enjoyable. The owners and staff are incredibly kind and their customer service is top-notch. Just had to share my current fave: the Dubai Angel Hair chocolate... it's next-level!

I must have accidentally gone into a time machine because wow, nostalgia galore! All my favorite candy from childhood was here and they have the cutest items for purchase. Whether you're shopping for yourself or someone else, this place has such great gift options that are fun and unique!

First visit to a Rocket Fizz and this place was like a museum (not one of them boring ones either :)! So much to see, from their candy, to soda, to all the miscellaneous items. My wife and I visited and we were delighted to be greeted by some friendly faces. The store was well organized and clean! We wanted to buy something for our 1 year old son and we found the perfect gift he could use...a Snoopy lunch box. They had so many options of lunch boxes that it made it difficult to pick from but in the end, he'll appreciate it when he's off to school (cause who ever enjoyed a hot lunch ;) We'll be back next time we're out in California for our son to pick out items on his own.

Coming here is like stepping into a time capsule. You are immediately transported back to your childhood. Every candy you've ever seen in your lifetime is here! Every soda flavor you can imagine, exists!! It's a little mind blowing. You just want to gobble up everything in sight because you're so enamored that you've been reunited with your long lost childhood candies and you're worried that Rocket Fizz will close down and you'll never be able to find them again. But fear not! I recently discovered that Rocket Fizz must be doing very well for themselves because they opened up another store at the Irvine Spectrum. The Spectrum store still has that old school feel with all the same candies and sodas but you know they're faking the funk since Spectrum is such a new establishment. I think the San Clemente store must be OG because it truly feels like you've stepped backwards into time. Stop by and enjoy all the yumminess!

This is an amazing candy store! Love it! Must see! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the prices are a little high.

Stopped by the chocolate factory for the first time, and it was a sweet experience…read more What I ordered: * Cookies n Cream Fudge -- Vanilla-based fudge with Oreo pieces mixed throughout. If you have a serious sweet tooth, this is a must-try, but for me, it was a bit too sweet -- almost like pure sugar. * Milk Chocolate Truffle -- Creamy milk chocolate center wrapped in a rich milk chocolate shell, with a smooth caramel filling. Perfectly balanced and indulgent. * Milk Chocolate Almond Cluster -- My favorite so far! Great balance of flavors with a satisfying crunch from the almonds. Service: The service was great. I mentioned it was my first time, and the lady behind the counter sweetly suggested I could get a thinner slice of the fudge -- such a thoughtful touch. Overall, worth visiting if you're a chocolate lover. I'll definitely be back to try more.

It's really disappointing because we drive there and look forward to them only to have one person eat one while the other watches with a different treat. The first time they were out of frozen bananas my husband was given a banana that wasn't frozen and the chocolate was all melted and dripping all over the place. Definitely not a satisfying cold treat. We found out somewhere else sells them as well AND they are cheaper. Hope this place starts stalking up and freezing them ahead of time

Gus's Fresh Jerky - San Clemente

For someone who generally doesn't eat much meat; one would be shocked to learn that my favorite…read morego-to snack is jerky. Beef, venison, turkey... I love it all! I just love cured meats! On the road, at home, doesn't matter where... I love me some jerky, baby! To say the least, I was quite overjoyed when I happened to come across Gus's Fresh Jerky in San Clemente. Let's explore... Gus's Fresh Jerky originated its jerky roots where most great jerky spots begin: on a freeway catering to the road warriors. Gus's has since expanded to two more locations (family-run by the daughter who hopes to takes over all the stores) with one holding real estate on the main shopping/dining strip of Avenida del Mar in San Clemente. It is pretty much a requirement for Angelinos to make a pit stop in San Clemente when heading to San Diego or back; which is exactly what I did when I left the City of Angels to spend a weekend in San Diego for my 41st birthday. While searching for a brunch spot; I noticed the Gus's Jerky signage and carelessly/unsafely ran across the street because I was so excited! Even though Gus's Fresh Jerky isn't large in terms of square footage; it has a little bit of everything in terms of provisions: the jerky of course, jams, honeys, crackers/snack mixes, sweets; and even cowboy hats and t-shirts. It's basically the wild wild west to a T. Upon entering, we were immediately welcomed by a female associate who was giving away seasonal jerky samples (apple pie flavor, pumpkin) alongside some regulars like garlic and spicy varietals. I can vouch that Gus's artisanal jerky is indeed satisfying in terms of selection: the flavors are unique and NOT run of the mill. This goes for the variety of other goods, as well. Gus's is simply fun to browse. But a warning: these are NOT cheap! The jerky ran $20! Although all jerky nowadays even a standard Jack Links at the super market is expensive. There was no way I could leave without making a purchase, despite the prices, so we purchased some garlic jerky and a dried cracker snack mix. Jerky tends to come in two 'styles': dry and wet. Gus's Fresh Jerky features both but I prefer wet which is exactly their Garlic jerky. I liked the jerky well enough and it did have garlic flavor -- it was too overly salty. Not bad but just not the best for $20. The main problem was the cracker mix. It was terrible and tasted very stale. I am not talking, "It is dehydrated so supposed to be dry". I'm talking we agreed it was stale tasting. We we already back on the road before we tried it so couldn't go back to exchange or return or whatever their policy would accommodate. Quite a bummer. A side note in this political climate: Gus's Fresh Jerky featured a display in their front window promoting the now-deceased Charlie Kirk. I won't say more here in terms of a political discourse as Yelp is NOT the place for such a debate and you decide what businesses you do or do not patron; but I have a right to mention it being in the display window the same way that Gus's has the right to support whomever they please. Gus's is 'cute' in terms of offerings and will probably satisfy your jerky cravings but it is a bit too salty and the cracker snack mix was stale. Just a bit of a let down based on its gourmet price point. But overall, it is solid enough if you choose to visit this business.

This place was really cute! They had a lot of delicious looking spreads, dips and relishes! I…read moreshould have gotten one. When I was eyeballing the chamoy gummy bears, the sweet worker (damn it I asked her name and can't remember) asked if I wanted a sample... well that sold me! I love good customer service! Also got the Oreo bark... shit is good! Overall highly recommend, will likely get the marinade next time and maybe some jerkeytoo!

Among the meats are asada, adobado, birria, chicharon and sometimes buche. Daily taco price is $1.49 but on Tuesdays and Fridays, tacos are 69¢. They have a very good chile relleno as well. There are other things available but it hard to get away from the range of street taco options. The folks working the taqueria are amazing, having to make plates and plates of tacos. Today, one work crew had 20 taco orders in front of me. Long lines await the tacos on Tuesdays and Fridays. Despite the load, the taqueros are friendly and fast. No photos as it really isn't necessary as the food is that good.

It feels like a local spot with endless options to enjoy. Their baristas (Lucy is the best) can make everything but also don't shy away from suggesting something new. I've recently fallen in love with an iced flat white with vanilla for a little summer sweet treat. Their drip coffee is divine too! Talk about range... we frequent for brunch/lunch/date night too. Their wine list is truly endless. You can sit inside at the bar, at a gorgeous table with air conditioning, under their adorable pink-striped umbrellas on the patio, or in an extended patio off the sidewalk with plenty of seating. You will be treated with exceptional service regardless of seating. Their brunch menu is delicious. Their chive biscuit breakfast sandwich is incredible, as is their breakfast burrito, chilaquiles AND biscuits and gravy. To be fair, we visit most regularly for a cheese board and meat with a glass of wine. Recently enjoyed the ceviche and smash burger with side-winder fries which was hand crafted and filling.
