What a fun place to go to sooo many goodies and pop sodas you don't get to see in our days. The candy store brings you back to childhood days when you bought candy for 5 cents or even a penny. Of course saw these candies like vintage lol so of course price is higher. But overall a wonderful experience down memory lane for sure. read more

5 Stars for a retro candy shop that goes above and beyond with hard-to-find flavors and fun little chotchkies that would make for a great gift basket! I was walking along Park Ave with my nephew last weekend and he insisted we go in to this magical shop we almost passed. I've seen and walked by Rocket Fizz a million times, but never actually entered and now I'm glad I did! Especially given its location on Park Ave, I am thrilled that something old-school like this has lasted. The area is filled with restaurants and fancy shops, so this feels like the not-so-little nostalgic shop that could! If you're looking for unusual candies or sodas, look no further. We're talking ALL the flavors of taffy you could dream of, for example. Beyond the candies though, there were some really fun nostalgic toys hanging on the walls and along the counters. So, if you're not such a sweet aficionado (as I am not), don't sleep on this spot for odd little gifts and toys that you won't find at a big box store. Overall a big, clean, well-lit candy shop that deserves a spot on the avenue! read more

So I had to stop in- I picked up a couple of different chocolate peanut butter candies for zach each were $2.59 to $2.69.

We visited Rocket Fizz as part of the Winter Park Food tour. This was one of our last stops. On the tour, we were offered soda and taffy samples. The soda was gross but the taffy was tasty. For what it is, it's an adorable shop. Just doesn't do anything for us. read more

Such a cute candy store with old school candies galore. They have the weird flavored sodas and Asian candy that I used to loooove when I was younger. If you like taffy, this is the place for you. They have an amazing selection and the workers let us each take one of our choosing when we left the store. I got the pickle flavored one and... it was amazing! If you're on Park Avenue, definitely swing on by. read more

I love this store! This store has so many unique sodas, toys and candy. I got a Mexico Coke, Mexico Sprite, sarsaparilla, candy, gum and butter beer. We spent 30 minutes here looking around at everything. The employee gave us a 6-pack box to carry our sodas home in the car. read more

Very cool spot if you're looking for a blast to the past! They have a bunch of candy, trinkets, and weird soda flavors to choose from that you wouldn't find in regular stores. I was looking for specific items and the guy at the counter did not hesitate to help. He was very personable and made my shopping experience a whole lot easier. Thank you Rocket Fizz Winter Park read more

I first fell in love with this candy store on a trip to St. Petersburg, Florida. Rocket Fizz was founded Ryan and Rob who started their business by selling fake dog doodoo and other novelties. There are also stores in Wesley Chapel and Clearwater along with 90 other Rocket Fizz stores. This store is on the end of Park Avenue in Winter Park. Rocket Fizz is famous for the 500 kinds of soda which include traditional flavors like root beer, birch beer, and cream soda, and more out there flavors like s'mores, mustard, bacon with chocolate, fungal fruit, dinosaur dung, ranch, and buffalo wing. The birthday cake soda would make the perfect gift for anyone celebrating their special day. This would be five stars for the soda selection alone but that is not all they sell. They are also the purveyor of every kind of candy imaginable. Nostalgic favorites are on the shelf along with the latest and greatest. This time of year they have a very unique selection of holiday candy that would be perfect for any stocking. I had to pick up some Santa bait so the youngest on my list can lay their traps. In addition to the candy they also sell novelty items and signs. This store is so fun. You can give a gift that brings back a childhood memory or give something they have never seen before. The only downside is the merch is pricey. A few treats can add up fast. Still I wish Rocket Fizz would make it's way to South Florida. For now it is another Central Florida gem. read more

What a fun shop! I recently accepted a TikTok challenge to trade sweets from the US for sweets from another Tik Tokers home country. Rocket Fizz was recommended to me and what an experience I had. There was so much to choose from. They have chocolate, taffy, gummies, hard candies, games and retro sodas. If you are looking for a way to spruce up a gift basket or just have a sweet tooth for yourself check out Rocket Fizz on Park Ave in Winter Park. read more

Very cool soda and candy store. Numerous bottled soda flavor options and candy types and brands from the past. Taffy by the pound. Definitely worth a visit. read more

What can you say about Rocket Fizz? It's just a fun place to be. Unique soda, specialty candy, saltwater taffy, and other wonderfully novel things all around. There is plenty to browse around and see for a while.......chances are you won't catch everything. The place feels like a child's fun factory as soon as you walk in the door. It's hard to resist the urge to buy one of the hundred and hundreds (not an exaggeration) flavors of soda ....Everything from Cola and grape... Bacon and Ketchup.....seriously all kinds of stuff here. The plays tries to vary very unique and specialty items that are just difficult the find elsewhere. If you want to break into childhood squeal....check them out. There is no other way to put it than to say this is just a fun place to be! read more

Rocket Fizz - Rocket Fizz - Candy Stores Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

In need of an #oldschool time near the shopping center of Winter Park? Rocket Fizz is just as fun as the name sounds. Old-fashioned candy, snacks and soda at a convenient price. There's always classic memorabilia to take you back to your childhood; the ideal gift for a friend or just a stocking-stuffer. The selection here comes and goes, but I'm always specifically looking for different flavored Kit-Kats or snacks with matcha. We love the taffy wall and I just noticed they have Footies candy just like all the parades in the 90's. But this place is a cute place to stop after dinner in the neighborhood for both kids and adults alike! It'll be a trip down memory lane along with some imported candies, fun sodas to pick from and a friendly staff... read more

YOU HAVE TO CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!! What is your favorite flavor of soda? Cookie dough? Mustard? Honey lime ginger ale? Marshmallow? Whatever your favorite flavor is or whatever flavor you can possibly dream of, they probably have it. Literally every shelf in this store was stocked with various flavors of soda, and they even categorized the shelves by soda types - ginger ales, cream sodas, weird sodas, fruity sodas, etc. Not a fan of soda? That's ok, this store is also LOADED with candy from wall to wall. Honestly, I don't know how they can fit so many things into this place, but it's pretty darn cool. Chocolates, lollipops, hard candies, gum, taffy, gummies - there are just SO many options! This is a really fun store for adults and kids alike. So whether you're looking to satisfy your sweet tooth or looking for a unique store to roam around, this is the place for you! read more

An awesome place to step back in time and see candies, sodas, memorabilia, etc from back then. And you shall also find candies and good from other countries. It is place worth stopping by if you are in the area and just be a kid or more of a kid when you step in. read more

This is a really neat store. If you're looking for candy that you may not be able to easily find in stores, this is the place for you. I like to take my kids here as a special treat, depending on what you get $20 can take you pretty far! They have soda, candy of all kinds (weird flavors of jelly beans, candy from China/Japan/Canada), toys, gum of all kinds--even gum from my mother's youth! It's a really neat store and you can spend a lot of time perusing the large selection. It's something my kids really and truly look forward to. read more

Rocket Fizz - Shopping in the store! - Candy Stores Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

Talk about nostalgia!!! From the moment you spot the store front, you can tell you are going to be in for a good time. Opening up the doors, my eyes widened. I immediately recognized candy from my childhood... And even my parents childhood that they've show me throughout the years! Inside, there's an insane amount of candy as well as snacks and a ridiculous amount of beverages all unique in their own way. The music was solid, and we had a great time walking around in there for about a half an hour. This will be a place we swing into every time we head over to winter park! read more

Imagine moving from a place you spent a good chunk of your life in? Now imagine once you get to this new place, you have to familiarize yourself with all these new things. Then, imagine driving by and seeing a store that encompasses everything your old place had to offer, that's Rocket Fizz for me! I frequented this place weekly when I lived in Las Vegas. A boyfriend and I had one of our first dates here. I made new friends here, and I found candies from my childhood I'd never thought I'd see again. This place transports you back to when you were a kid. When the most important thing was finding a playing card for the spokes of your bike and making sure you had enough now and laters to eat an even amount of each color. Located in absolutely beautiful Winter Park & surrounded by tons of places to either shop or just stroll, this store is HUGE compared to the Las Vegas and California stores, and it's so nice to find something from the West coast on the Southeast coast. Feels like home and I definitely recommend checking it out if you love candy and reminiscing as much as I do! read more

I think it was kinda gross to see a male employee behind the cash register wearing a shirt with a VAGINA on it promoting his views on abortion. (June 5th, 2020) First off, it was unappetizing to look at with a pile a candy while I paid. It was detailed. Second, what am I supposed to tell my 4 yr old? My wife had to distract her while I paid. He wasn't rude or anything, but it was just unnecessary for him to wear it. I get it, we all have our views about life, but there is a right place and a right time. I'm probably going to skip this place next time. It was inappropriate. Loved the candy though..hence the 2 stars. ( And if you must know how I feel, Its a women's body...as long as you can live with yourself after.) so I'm not a hater. Just a believer in the right place and right time for this sort of thing. read more

As Simon W. mentioned below, they are currently running a Groupon that is both deceitful and purposefully vague. Having been a customer of this shop previously, I was excited to make a return visit with my Groupon. The Groupon is advertised as 25% off candy/confection/chocolate to which you pay $15 for. When arriving at the store, I was told that the Groupon is a coupon for bulk orders at the store. To make a long story short, you are paying $15 for a 25% off coupon. If you are planning on spending $60 or more at the store, then the Groupon might be worth it, but for me it was a poor business practice to vaguely advertise the Groupon. I enjoyed supporting Rocket Fizz in the past, but this has really left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

Gahhhh!!! Cookie dough flavored soda?! Where have you been all my life? Walking into Rocket fizz is like realizing all my childhood dreams, whilst simultaneously getting cavities and diabetes. It's a sugar overload! They have a good mix of international, classic, and contemporary candies -- there's nothing you can't find here. Heck, I even found fair-trade chocolate bars here. How cool is that? With tables dedicated to candies from Asian, Middle Eastern, and European candies, you can eat your way around the world like a bona fide Willy Wonka. lol. And If you feel like being healthy, they have a table full of sugar-free sweets for you to nom on. Don't even get me started on the sodas. You can literally spend an hour looking through their selection alone. Apple Pie Soda? They got that. Peanut Butter Soda? Yum! Dog...Drool...Soda?? Yea, they have that too, apparently. You get it, there's a soda for everyone! If you're not in the mood for their sweets, I recommend checking out their gift ideas floating around. Posters, tin signs, random knick-knacks -- they're all awesome! My only tiff is that a lot of the candies are overpriced -- even the local American ones. read more

It's exactly what your looking for if you have sweet tooth. Name a candy they have it there.

This shop is a rare find in today's world- an authentic experience of unique collections, memorabilia, foods, etc. I could see people deviating from their road trip schedule just to come here. It reminds me of the places that I got the chance to go to as a kid - diners, ice cream shops, establishments that take you to a different time / place. The staff were great, friendly, & knowledgeable about the products. I would highly recommend coming here read more

Amazing! As far as candy shops go, this is the mother of nostalgic sweets. Remember razzels? How about rock candy, Miner's gold gum, pop rocks, or any of dozens of candies that you don't see too often around your local gas station or convenience store? This is the place to look for them. They also have a plethora of flavored sodas and drinks (like bacon soda). Looki g for some sweet flavors you've never heard of or seen? Then this place is a must visit as well. Bacon candies, strange caramels and all of it delicious. Just as sweet are the tin picture art works on the wall that you can buy, and the staff.... well they are just as pleasant. Always in a good mood (and why shouldn't candy shop clerks be peppy). An awesome experience and I certainly reccomend! read more

This must be one of my favorite places to go to. This place is full of different soda drinks and candy. It's impressive what they have. I found some drinks you would not be able to find anywhere else and some of the candy is from Japan. I could spend hours in this store. read more

This is a great store to visit for a nostalgic moment and to find something new and different. Candies from my adolescence are scattered around the store, items I had long forgotten peeking out from between more common candies. I can visit the store with my son and there are items he finds familiar and fond as well as my parents seeing items from their childhood. There are so many items! There are sections dedicated to different countries and cultures, if you grew up outside of the US, you may still find something familiar here. There is even a section dedicated to bacon flavored items including bacon frosting in a tube. The collection of bottled sodas is vast and includes the strange. Dirt soda anyone? The music is always fun, as are their decorations and signs on the wall. Prices on confections range from very cheap (change for a piece of candy) to very steep ($7 for a modern chocolate bar Target sells for $4). The staff is friendly and can help you find anything you might not have located otherwise. read more

Candy heaven! Fun place at the end of Park Ave to find tons of candy and sodas. They pack so many different types of everything, even the pickiest of eaters can find something they like. Chocolates, licorice, jellybeans, lollipops, cream sodas, regular sodas, and tons of unique candy that I've never seen before. The prices are a little higher than what you'd normally pay but the location mostly drives that cost up. Oh, and get your picture with the giant lollipop or batman on the way out! read more

Holy candy, Batman! It's really an overwhelming, in a fun way, experience when you walk in here. There are thousands of bottled soda pops and candies from all over America. Seriously, there are different sections for all the different candy including an entire table of no sugar candy. Yep, they got it all. As far as the soda - wow! There is a huge range from Rocket Fizz Gingerbread Rocket Fizz Green Apple Jalapeño (WHAT?) to Mighty Mouse Blue Cream The Wizard Of Oz Cherry Cola to Kim Jung Ill Nuclear Orange Bomb Peanut Butter Soda to Lester's Fixins Bacon Soda Melba's Fixins Lemon Meringue Pie Soda You can make your own pack or even make your own label for a cool family or friend gift! Speaking of gifts, not only can you make a candy basket but there are hundreds of retro and gag gifts, and concert posters and movie posters, and tin signs too. It really adds to the nostalgic feel while walking around the store, I couldn't stop taking photos! The customer service was awesome too. We were immediately greeted and asked if it was our first time. We were then informed of all the selections etc and then left to discover on our own. Check it out when you are in the area, I challenge you to not feel your sweet tooth tingling when you walk in =) read more

A fun candy and soda store with plenty of old nostalgic items and plenty of rare items from all over. If you have a candy you love from another region in the country and can not find them then this is your place. My wife finds candy from Connecticut that I have never eaten growing up in Florida and my son likes the candy from Japan. There is also plenty of old poster/advertising art as well. read more

Throw in some oompa-loompas and this is a candy store I think Willy Wonka would be proud to put his seal of approval on! (but please don't, because their staff is super friendly!!) What sets them apart for me is their insanely vast collection of colas, root beers, ginger beers, fruit sodas and beyond (what else do you consider sweet corn soda??). You tell yourself you're only going to get one, but there's no way you won't walkout without at least a 4 pack. Highlights for me included finding bawls and moxie! They also have tons of candies, chocolates, gum, etc. from something you'd see at your grandparents house to candy from the Asian markets. They have the classic "everything can be made of bacon section" which I avoided like the plague and hello kitty lovers should find plenty of specialized treats here. This is definitely a store worth stopping in to complete any park ave stroll. read more
