Rocket Fizz

Remember the candy you loved as a kid? Well they have it. Probably the most extensive candy shop around, not to mention a fun atmosphere. Definitely a treat to go to.

Great selection if sweets but pricy. Of course my daughter enjoys it but to pay $ 2.99 for a candy bar is outrageous. I know you cant get some of these elsewhere but dont raise the price so high because you assume its «rare» to find.

Have a random candy need? Rocket Fizz is your place! They have your standard candies you see everywhere, but also so many other offerings! Old school candies? Check! Hard to find regional candies? Check! Seasonal candies? Check!
The store is larger than I expected, prices are fair, owner is super nice and helpful!
Whenever I have odd candy needs, I’ll be in to Rocket Fizz!

This is a candy store but they also have a ton of crazy sodas which are always fun to try. I haven’t been in here for a while but this is still a cool place to bring back some memories with all the old school candy. If you dare to try some of cool sodas like I did and I wish I didn’t. I tried the ranch soda and boy oh boy was that a mistake because it tasted like sour cream or something. I would definitely come back to try some other cool sodas, the employees are helpful and the prices are decent.

I really need to go to the candy shop more often. It’s such a nice store and they have a little bit of everything! They have candy that I’ve never even heard of and old time candies that are hard to find, which I love. One of the things that my husband and I love are the vintage style, steel signs they sell. They have one so far but we want to get more. It’s a great shop.

Really cute old time candy store. They have a variety of candy to choose from including pick your own taffy. Walls galore of soda to fit your fancy. It’s nice to know that there is an old time candy store in the San Diego area where i don’t have to travel too far to get my taffy fix.

This place is fun fun fun! Every candy willy ever dreamed up is here. As a connoisseur of sugar I approve the place completely!

I went here for salt water taffy specifically and my god do they have a selection. It was really good too btw, not rock hard. They have tons of candy, not too much of the original wrappers tho on the candy which is something else I was looking for, but nonetheless, good selection. They have tons of bottles soda pop too. There are signs all over their walls for sale. It’s a cool little joint. Definitely check it out.

I found this place while waiting to see a movie at the Cinepolis in Vista. It’s a great shop with a lot of personality. It would be easy to spend 30 minutes looking at the enormous selection of candy in the store.
I agree with other reviewers that the price is high, but remember that this isn’t a discount candy store, it’s a specialty shop. Spend your money on the hard to find items. If you really just want a Snickers or Milky Way then it would be cheaper at a grocery store or dollar store.
In terms of selection this place can’t be beat.

How I long to adore this candy shop, but I’m turned off by ONE very big aspect of it: the prices of their products are comparable to the movie theater concession counter! Boo!
I paid $ 6 and change (including tax) for a simple grape flavored lollipop, a Butterfinger, and Twizlers (the GOOD kind that you peel into strands, not the awful knockoff, licorice-​looking kind!)…satisfaction with my candy aside, it felt a bit much ($$$) for 3 candies.
They offer A LOT here: candy galore (soooooo many classics!), bottled sodas, and a mess of hooziwhatsits and thingamajiggers (horse-​head masks, toys, wall decals, ect)
The employees are friendly and cheerful and that is totally something I would want to find in a store that sells candy :)

I use to go down to Rocket Fizz every single time; when i would go to the movies. Tonight 1÷29÷2014. i walked in. Well for one their large bag for the Taffy became smaller and the price went up. Then i learned after undercover boss, that now the store is taxing which they never did before. I love the older gentleman who works in our little shop, but very disappointing about everything else. I may never return to the small little shop.

Rocket Fizz is a novel candy shop nestled in a quiet plaza in Vista. They sell candy galore from practically every decade — literally from the 1840s (i.e., Necco wafers) and 1880s (i.e., salt water taffies) to the 2000s! They also have cool face masks (i.e., horse heads, unicorn heads, bull dog heads, pig heads, squirrel heads), which make for creepy pictures.

If you like a variety of soda… this is the place to go! I swear they have walls of different sodas! And an eclectic blend of flavors. When I dropped in here I saw Bacon flavored soda.
This store has a collection of candies to choose from too. Some of which include international types of candies.
I found some Jelly Bellys that I had been looking for. The box had. flavors like: baby wipe, fresh cut grass and skunk. LOL This box of Jelly Bellys topped my trip to this store. I had heard about these «great» flavors but had not found them until I came across them at Rocket Fizz.

Cool little shop that offers a large variety of candy and pop. The pop selection is fantastic. It is a little pricey but they offer a lot of unique items that are hard to find elsewhere.

Charlie’s Chocolate Factory!
Well sort of… It’s Rocket Fizz! Jawbreakers, Gummie bears, Taffy, Chocolate Bars, Sugar Daddys, and Bubble Gum Cigarettes Oh My!
The retro vibe of this place + friendly workers + candy coma is the perfect place to get a sweet tooth fix that you can sneak into the theater!
Bought a few goodies for myself & the workers were so nice they let me try an Ice Cube, which is chocolate that literally melts in your mouth as fast as an ice cube! I think it actually melts faster, but it was delicious! Pure nostalgia even though I didn’t live during that era!

Friend introduced me to this place, so cool. Old vintage signs for purchase and different lines of sodas all over the place. Candy all over the place. Variety everywhere. There’s candy and sweets in here that you have never seen before. Candy and sodas you would only recognize by watching the good channels «Unwrapped». So cool! I got a Ramune! Was always my favorite in Japan. Nice to know I can get a pick me up here.

This shop has every type of candy and pop (soda) you can think of! All the hard to find stuff and specialty types. Being from Michigan I’m so happy I can get my Faygo fix here.
The prices are a bit higher for the more common candies/​pops if you were to compare them to walmart or the dollar store, so I don’t recommend getting anything you could buy at any other store, but for the more rare stuff the prices are pretty good and are much cheaper than ordering them online.

While I am not a self-​proclaimed «sweet tooth fanatic» my husband can claim that title ten times over. In an effort to bring some comfort to him while he is deployed, I found myself in the mix of quirkiness and confectionery history at Rocket Fizz Soda & Candy Shop across from the Krikorian movie theater. Somewhere and somehow the hubs has an affinity for Lemon Heads in the gummy form while serving in Afghanistan. When he requested such a specific candy and form, I began to ponder where the hell would I find such a classical tart treat and in a gummy form. Last time I recalled (back in the 90’s) it was hard candy only. To my pleasant surprise and relief, I found such an item here. If you are one that loves to reminiscent of the good old days when you would spend your preteen allowance on all items that would ensure cavities and hyper energy, than Rocket Fizz is your spot. There are items that I have not seen for the better part of 25 years from the local 7– Eleven across from the junior high school I attended. You name it and they more than likely have it here. From an assortment of taffy, bacon soda, and international candies, it is here. If you are seeking a challenge on finding the one candy that you were continually swapping your Madonna pins, neon bracelets, or sharing your can of Aqua Net for then Rocket Fizz is the shop to check out. Good luck on your sweet search.

Typical candy store mixed with Bevmo. A lot of sodas, a lot of treats, but its all junk food.

Fun place to get some good old fashion candy and some wall signs that have that vintage look.
And boy, are there a lot of soda pop to choose from, I never knew. You have to come in and check out the fun signs with cool and funny sayings, they would make great gifts! And so would the pops as well as the candy.
Friendly service.
