I love rocket fizz. The mystery bags are where it’s at, even in the small one, you get a significant amount of candy and a soda for $10. It could take you weeks to try every type of soda they have and they have a great assortment of candy as well. Staff was very vigilant about mask mandate which I heavily appreciate - staff was also very friendly.

Definitely a candy shop that you must stop into. Great place for throw back candy’s and drinks. Tons of interesting flavors.

Super awesome place & wonderful service! Very unique items, much more than candy and every kind of soda you can imagine. The only thing theyre missing is a public bathroom. I had to run down the block when my little one had to potty.

Great candy shop for kids and parents. Do not get the nasty jelly beans! Or do, if you want to prank someone. They are really awful.

Really awesome selection of candy here!! I love that they have all sorts of candies from international to basic grocery store candies! Huge soda selection as well. Sodas as odd as pickle!! Really enjoyed my time and happy I drove an hour and a half to see this store! The fake lottery tickets will be a nice touch!

Very cool place with all of the old school candies and sodas. The best part is that they know a lot about the history and local nuances of each candy and soda.Great old school Memes too.

Huge variety of candy and soda. Went here to find some specific candy for a treasure chest themed birthday party for my son and they had exactly what I needed! Very friendly and helpful staff/owners. They also said if I couldnt find what I was looking for, they can order special requests! Will definitely be coming here again!

Its a very fascinating novelty, to have one business dedicated entirely to sodas of nearly every brand in existence, with certain specialty candies as well as American memorabilia on display and on sale (mostly posters). Does it have EVERY soda brand? No, but if you take the time to stop off and get a non-alcoholic carbonated beverage, you may discover theres at least one brand you havent heard of, and several flavors of that brand worth sampling.

I absolutely loved this place! The owners are SO. NICE!! You can tel they genuinely enjoy what they do. Their place has an incredible selection of craft sodas and virtually any flavor candy you can think of. Anyone who gives or gave this place less than 5 stars is a clown!

Very eclectic, but my favorite feature was the specialty taffy and soda. They perfectly nailed dozens of flavors I would have never imagined a company could replicate.

Selection was amazing as always but what really made our visit there special was Jean’s kindness and friendly personality! She was a ton of help in finding what we needed and while I was looking around I consistently saw her going above and beyond with each guest. Really awesome employee you have there, seriously, give her a raise! Thanks for making my partner’s birthday special Rocket Fizz 🚀 You guys rock.

Amazing Store, Amazing Selection, Amazing People! Greeted when walking in the door with a friendly hello and warm gracious smiles. Soda selection is unique and fun! The candy selection is never-ending, and includes many older, fun varieties! These people and this place is great! Must see when in Asheville!

You could try a different flavor every day here for a year and still not taste everything they offer! The owner is very nice and helpful. We stopped here while visiting and fell in love with the place. I have now tried 5 of the soda flavors and all of them were on point with flavor. I would be able to tell you what it was supposed to taste like without even looking at the label.

Over 550 different types of soda! This place is so cool! The owner is friendly and knowledgeable about his sodas. Tons of different candies too!

Review №24

Went in for a soda and an older bald employee interrupted the 16y-o cashier from completing the transaction to demean and belittle him about his work. It was so embarrassing for the kid he actually cried. When I spoke up for the kid the old man said I must have escaped from an Insane asylum. Very disrespectful and incredibly rude. So sad fro the poor boy.

Review №25

Be a kid in a candy store!Tons of bulk candy, packaged candy, build your own candy, and novelty candy!Familiar soda, foreign soda, unique soda, rare soda, soda you wish didnt exist, and soda you never thought youd find!Comics on shelves, vintage style posters, and comic book cover prints.Dont know what to get? Surprise grab bags are the way to go! Small, medium, large, a great assortment of candy and soda to go back and get more of.A fantastic walk through.

Im a vintage candy fanatic. Especially those old school Chuckles. Saw a post about Rocket Fizz on Facebook. So I had to check it out. My kids, and I love this place!. The prices are a little steep. You might come out cheaper by going to Amazon. But if you cant wait Rocket Fizz is THE PLACE!!!!.

Its like stepping back in time. You can buy one piece of candy / small bag for $6.00 or so. They also have sugar-free candy & drinks. Drinks are a little high. But you can 4 & get a discount. People are always super nice ! 😍😍

Great candy and soda store. These guys search out hard to find sodas, and know a lot about them. Take the time to ask them about what you are interested in, or ask them about what they are interested in. They are very knowledgeable and very helpful. So far, every suggestion had been delicious! Cool place!

Amazing!! Definitely worth the almost 2 hour drive from my home town. They had so many kinds of candy, including types Ive never seen before. The store was full of different sodas in wacky flavours. I tried the pickle soda and it definitely lived up to its name. They should open a store in Greenville, Id be there all the time!

Tons and tons of specialty sodas and hard-to-find candies in this store. Very clean. The owners greeted each customer that came into the store while I was there and took the time to ask if any of them needed assistance with anything. Very friendly atmosphere. I will be back!

Omg. I heard about this candy store and viewed some pictures online but nothing is quite like actually going in. I almost missed it while walking by but its so colorful inside. They hawlve every soda and candy you could ask for and I really liked the bulk taffy sections some of the flavors Ive never even heard of! Well worth the money and the options you are given. Definitely worth a visit to anyone living or visiting in Asheville.

Review №62

A decent chain store that you find in most tourist cities. Unfortunately this location changed ownership to some foul individuals who can often be overheard making racist remarks about customers, downing their own employee who has a chronic illness, and other types of harassment. Do not let the candies, drinks, and sweet treats confuse you about the sour nature of the people you put money in the pockets of by purchasing from this store.

Unbelievable selection of candies! Found some from my childhood! Every kind of candy you can think of. Great little place to take the entire family. Fun store to browse. Wonderful selection of soft drinks. Many I have never even heard of, with flavors I could only have dreamed of. I must go back and try them all!

We have a Rocket Fizz in our town that we visit weekly, so when we were looking for a sweet snack one night on vacation, we stopped in to this location. While we were there, I noticed they were still displaying Christmas and Valentines candy in April. Alright. We made our selections and payed. Later that night when started to eat my peanut butter Snickers, it tasted wrong and I couldnt even bite through the cookie layer at the bottom. The wrapper revealed its best by date was June 2017, ten months ago. My husbands soda was also four months part date. You have one job guys. Dont overpay for expired candy.

Not a bad store by any stretch. Its got that very touristy feel, so it fits in well in this location. They have a few hundred different kinds of pop to buy, as well as lots of candy from around the world.

If you came to Asheville to check out Ashevilles breweries but dont want to leave the kids empty-handed, this be the place. Theyre wall to wall soda, from safe ( dozens of root beer choices, for example) to mustard and bacon soda. Get the kids a sixer and a handful of candy.
