Unfortunately they assume people have stolen things, perhaps based on how my daughter and her friends dress?? Demanded they show the insides of their pockets. Shined a light in their pockets, checked their bags. Of course the kids had stolen nothing, so there was nothing to find. They were quite traumatized though by the entire event and we will clearly never return to this store.
Love this place .. all types of sodas candy
Rocket Fizz was amazing. They had so many different candy and drinks. All kinds of flavors of kit kat, oreos, taffy just so many candy! So many trinkets, so many signs, magnets, old school lunchboxes etc...Super interesting. Super fun! So much to look at, it was kinda overwhelming in a good way. Best to go when your with good company that dont mind staying in their enjoying everything. Lol Employee was constantly restocking which was good. Just overall amazing! Must go if you like this kind of spots. An awesome find and Ill be back for sure! Id post more pics if I could, but I took more videos than pics!
Has some interesting candy and stuff you wouldnt find anywhere else.
Pretty decent selection of soda, though a lot of them are joke gross flavors so watch out for that if youre trying to just buy actual soda. Decent selection of candy as well
The store has a great selection of candy but the staff is very unpleasant and unwelcoming. The lady at the register is rude and the other young girl acts like security and as if one is stealing items. I think they should deliver better customer service by welcoming their customers at least with a fake smile and a fake greeting.
This place is horrible, my girlfriend and I were walking around the store and I knocked over a candy bar. She told me to be more careful so I started heading for the exit when my girlfriend was stopped by one of the employees. My girlfriend had been holding our bags from previous stores we purchased items from and the employee accused her and I for stealing due to the way we dress and the fact my girlfriend was holding bags. I definitely would not recommend this store.
Super dope retro soda shop. Good amount of soda candy and retro art. A bit pricey but not many stores like this around
This place had some funny sodas and there was some actually good sodas and candies.
Didnt realize how expensive it is... or am I just stingy?
Love this place they have of great variety of soda here. It is pricy but I also like to support small business. Whenever I come to Irvine I make sure I stop here to buy my favorite soda. They also have alot of different candys, my kids love coming here. I highly recommend coming even if its just to try once, so you can see all the different soda they have here.
Plenty of candy, soda, and novelties. Mexican candy is more expensive than it is in, say, Santa Ana or Anaheim.
Great place for nostalgic items
Love that they have candies from a lot of places I wish they switched around their inventory from time to time though
Wonderful selection, but JESUS the prices are insane. I spent $9 on a licorice here that Target used to sell for $3.99. Ugh.
Wide selection but expect to pay a lot for what youre looking for
Great selection of candies, some toys and niche items and unique drinks. I purchased Bundaberg guava and root beer. Evident from my snapshot - amazing flavor and no artificial ingredients or flavors so i love them.My reason for the low star rating was bait and switch with the drink section. A medium sized sign states all sodas $2.49 each and these rang up for $3.99 - since i avoid being price sensitive I went with it. But most wont, proper labeling is key to repeat business.
Always a fun place for the kids. Tons of little inexpensive toys, candy, and unique sodas. Very friendly staff let us return a toy my son changed his mind on the same day.
Cool store.
Big selection of candy and soda pop but everything is expensive.
Would not recommend, the staff treated us very poorly and accused my boyfriend and I of stealing just because of what we were wearing and because we had a couple bags from previous stores in hand.
Cool little store. Pay attention to the dates on the sodas though.
Branding felt way too all over the place, but it was fun
They sold everything that you missed from your childhood: warheads sour spray, all of the seemingly discontinued candy bars, my father, and those tubes of sour goo.Absolutely incredible and nostalgic.
So many fun candies and sodas
The place is kept looking like it just opened thr ambience is its best thing. The lady at the counter was extremely rude. Nothing is priced. They had hanks black cherry soda and this is the only reason I gave them 3 stars instead of 1.
Such an animated, lively place. Love the colors all around and most of all, the ambiance of being in the 50s with soda pops!
They have a ton of sodas that Ive never had. Cant wait to try mustard and buffalo wings. Its gonna be gross.
This is a fun place to pick up all sorts of nostalgic treats and drinks. The owners are friendly and arent pushy. Good place to bring someone you want to share a bit if yourself with by sharing a snack or cool drink.
They have candy and soda you cant find anywhere else. A must visit and try something new.
Tons of candy. A bit pricy but really good selection.
Amazing shop with an even greater selection of drinks, candies, and cute gift ideas. The choices are plentiful from all over the world. Fun please to explore. Definitely coming back.
Novelty store with a huge selection of obscure sodas, candy, and saltwater taffy. Lots of joke gifts and cardboard cutouts.
So many Vintage collectibles, staff was very friendly and knowledgeable!!
Regular candy that you can get at the dollar store is close to $5 bucks. Its good for sodas and candy from out of the country.
Fun and good
The variety of candies and pop was amazing.
Its an okay shop. Nostalgic and niche candy variety. Abit overpriced compared to most places I buy my spicy treats at. They do have cool lunch boxes.
Tons of soda and tons of candy. Awesome atmosphere!
Lots of cool stuff in here! A lot of rare never seen before items! Staffs were friendly. Prices....well, the prices....., uh really high! Did I mention that the items are rare? Nice place.
There are so many good choices, you want to try them all. The aesthetics of the chocolates is elegant and the colors of the chocolates make you want to have all of them.
An impressive store with a wide selection of root beers and candy. Very friendly staff and family-run, but a key problem here is their prices. Spicy chips for $10? Drinks for $6? It might be understandable considering their venue location, but their prices can (and most likely) alienate the customer from the tourist.
Great collection of toys.
Rocket Fizz has cool stuff but they are expensive and dont post prices. The staff wasnt very friendly when I visited.
It is a cool place to go to for the cool retro snacks but there was water coming out of the fridge and nobody put a sign or tried to clean it up. I was also told by an employee that it wasnt important after I had told them that there was a big puddle on the floor.
As a guy that loves soda, the selection that this place had blew my mind. I have never seen so many different brands and variations of soda before. They had lots of candy too, but the soda was what blew my mind
Great soda shop with candy and collectibles.
If youre looking for nostalgia, this is the place to go! They have all sorts of candy memorabilia, soda flavors and candies! Theyve also got plenty of merch and funny signs and full size cut outs. Its not cheap, but some of the rare products are worth it! They even have Japanese kit kats that are always amazing!
Amazing ! Took grandkids there while visiting from Arizona. Their place to go!!
Cute store!
CANDY ! I mean if you love the stuff, youll love this place.
Overpriced
The employees followed my sister and I around the store because we were speaking spanish and they thought we were going to steal something. Would not recommend
Rocket Fizz is the type of place that sells nostalgia to older people, cheat days to middle age adults, and bingeing material for young adults to children. Its awesome in short
Its like shopping down memory lane. Worth visiting once.
Its a real cool place to walk around and see all types of candy from different parts of the world, although prices are ridiculous such as the mexican candy, certain pieces were at least 2$+ while an actually Mexican store would have them for 50 to 75 cents.
This place is full of fun stuff and nostalgic candy. I go there because they have one of my favorite candies when I was a kid, tart-n-tinys. They seem to be very proud of them here because they charge $2.89 a bag?I guess I should have bought stock in tart-n-tinys in the 80s rather than Enron?
Amazing selection of soda that wraps around entire store.
Lots of great candy and helpful staff they also have an very large amount of good sodas. Only problem is that it is quite overpriced.
I loved this store! It has so much candy and sodas! Its crazy.
A cute, quaint little candy shop with specialty sodas. My kids loved exploring all the different candy available and there were some col varieties Ive never seen before.
Fun cool stuff but all way over priced.
Prices seem rather high, but I that goes with them finding and stocking such a large variety of novelty items. They have a very large selection of goods, especially novelty soda. I almost expected to find a bottle of Nuka Cola.
Cool tiny shop with all kinds of candies even the special flavor Kitkat from Japan.
Great selections of saltwater taffy, novelty sodas and foreign candy.
This place is heaven for a gummy candy freak like me. Some of the candies are a little unusual but once you figure out which you like, it becomes dangerous. Parking in that area is tough, which was probably best for my dental hygiene. Its also a bit expensive for candy but worth an occasional trip.
Unfortunately they took a look at my credit card, saw my name, and I understood the Hebrew they were speaking and the glares I got.... I was an unwelcome Arab in their store. 2018 and discrimination still exists.
Great selection of root beer and thoroughly enjoyed it however prices are outrageous!
Out of the three Rocket Fizzs, I wanted to find out which one was convenient to go check the place out.
The employees were phenomenally helpful and gave excellent customer service.
Great selection of candy!
Friendly salespeople fun products definitely reccomend
Rocket Fizz is an amazing store with lots of great products, including rare candy like pop rocks, jelly belly, etc. and rare sodas from the 80s. I liked the employees in this store, they are always smiling, and give you good advice on products
Fun store, they have everything here, candy, toys, and drinks for all over the world. Only thing is prices and very inflated.
Cute throw back candy shop!
The nostalgia is strong with this one.
This place is fun with all the cool candies, BUT donβt expect to have that much fun when youβre a babyface adult that can pass as a 13-17 year old. who likes to wear a band shirt and jeans. i recommend going to the one in san clemente if you want to go to the perfect OC rocket fizz.story time: i look like a 15 year old and the manager followed my boyfriend (he looks 17) and i around EVERYWHERE. i understand itβs for security reasons, but this was heavy following. iβve worked in stores before and youβre only supposed to watch them from a distance and give them the occasional advertisement if you truly caught them stealing. itβs for their own safety and so the customer canβt sue for anything. she was behind us 98% of the time and she was at the counter staring us down when we were closer to it. for every small section we were at, she was at least 5 feet away from us just standing there and watching us. my boyfriend and i were laughing at one of the posters at the counter (it was high up there so it did not look like we were staring at the workers) and she came over and said, βum... do you want something?β with a pretty mean look. we politely said no thank you and that we were still looking. she rolled her eyes as she walked back to the counter. when we finally went to pay, the cashier was really really sweet and kindly answered my question. she said teenagers used to steal stuff in the past. the thing is there were teenagers everywhere, but she seemed to only be interested in us.basically everyone but that manager is really nice. iβve never had a problem with any of the workers there until now and iβve been going there for years. i donβt know if i want to go anymore. i donβt like being followed and i felt unwanted.
RIP off shop. Everything is jacked up to absurdly high prices.
Best. Place. Ever.
Good candy
I buy diet Dads root beer here
Fun little novelty store
Very pricey! $$$$
Always a pleasure
Crazy selection of candy and soda along with other knick knacks. On the pricey side but they are hard to find items.
Huge variety of candy and softdrinks
Hit or miss in the sodas. Fun to try.
Lots of weird & crazy candy/drinks!
Super overpriced but they have some strange Candys you wont find anywhere else
Didnt like it some things were over priced
