Rocket Fizz

I had a horrible experience here. I came in with some friends and we were in the store when a bottle got smashed. Despite the fact that we were not the closet people to the bottle, the person at the register charged my friend for the bottle when he went up to buy something else, WITHOUT telling him, insisting she had us on camera as breaking it. When we asked to see the camera footage she refused to show it to us, and threatened my friend because «she already had his personal information.»

Very cute old school candy shop in Westwood. They have a bunch of hard to find candies, soda flavors, and unique old school knick knacks and toys, perfect for stocking stuffers. Prices are very reasonable given the fact that they are hard to find candies. Also, for all my Asian friends at UCLA, they have the elusive green tea kit kats here! Which are nearly impossible to find outside of Korea Town.

What a cute little candy store with tons of options and plenty of novelty gift ideas!!! So fun to stop in and peak around– and soothe that sweet too the craving!!!
Check it out for yourself!

There are very few people in the world that can match my affinity for sweet treats. Thus, I have been to hundreds of candy stores in my short, yet fruitful, experience on this planet. And among those stores, Rocket Fizz ranks as one of my all-​time favorites. I usually judge a candy store by three criteria: the ambiance, the deals and last but certainly not least the selection. And Rocket Fizz hits the highest of marks in each criterion. The ambiance is superb. Even at my darkest moments I know after taking one step into Rocket Fizz I could not help to have a smile overtake my entire face. The jolly tunes, friendly staff and the colorful, well-​lit interior are everything you can ask for in a candy store. Moving on, as far as deals are concerned, Rocket Fizz may have the best deal for candy on the Westside. They have a selection of two sizes of plastic bags in which you can choose from an array of candies (mainly salt-​water taffies and other candies of the «bottom-​shelf» variety) to fill your bag. And if you are a patient bag-​filler, you can find yourself with a pound of with watermelon taffy (by far the best taffy, although the boisenberry is a decent second option) and a variety of now & laters for $ 6.99. As a poor college student, I was incredibly grateful for this deal, as it kept my sweet tooth satiated while on a tight budget. But the fun doesn’t end there, because the store also offers a wide variety of candy from all over the world. Their selection rating is off the charts. They even have the delicious White Rabbit Creamy Candy, a long-​time favorite of mine from China which is a rare sight in candy stores these days. I can’t say it enough, I truly love this place. Keep it up Rocket Fizz, you guys are in the realm of Candy Elite.

I love this candy store! They literally carry everything and anything!!! The ladies who work here are very sweet and helpful, the owner of the business is also very sweet! I walked in looking for a particular flavor in a candy and she offered to order it for me even though it’s not so popular at their shop! Who offers to do such a thing for a stranger!!! I defiantly Recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

Rocket Fizz is the best place to find any candy you are craving. They have a huge selection of candy. They have chocolates, sodas, and more. They have some selection on comics and a lot of pop culture items. They even have imported candy that you will not find anywhere else. This is a very big store that is never crowded. Parking kind of sucks since it is in the middle of Westwood. They also have some items that are a little overpriced but nothing too major. If you want something sweet then this should be your go to place.

I am paleo so I don’t really eat any of the stuff here, but I still love visiting! it’s a fun place in westwood village. The owners are really cool! They always are giving stuff away. I wish they hosted birthday parties here, that would be a lot of fun!

Nostalgic sugar rush at its best! If you have a sweet tooth, this is certainly the place for you. They’ve got all the candy and soda pop you can imagine. Plus life size stand up posters.

I love a candy store. This place carries a combination of candy and soda and it has a fantastic selection. Lots of hard to find candies, interesting sodas, and themed selections of both candy and sodas. Some of my favorites were the many Harry Potter items and the Sonic the Hedgehog energy drink.
The décor of the store is really cute– it has a 50s retro vibe.
This is a great place to come for gifts. I came in once to get a ton of sodas for a friend’s birthday because they love unusual drinks and they were over the moon about the items I got. The store is well curated and has lots of interesting items!
The reason I give this place four stars instead of five is because it is pricey. There’s a bit of a mark up on everything. This isn’t the cheapest place to buy the things this store sells. The mark ups aren’t insane, though– they’re understandable because this is a specialty store. Overall, this place is really fun, cute, and a great place to get a gift.

You can come across stale and expired candies. Be careful. Fairly expensive for regular candies but good for finding that one candy that no other store has.

A unique kind of store, with both weird & old-​fashioned sodas and candies.
Go here to find something fun, weird, something weird to share with a friend, something nostalgic to share with your sibling. Don’t expect to get an amazing deal.
The variety of stuff they have can’t be beat, including the internet. If you are looking for that one candy or soda you kinda sorta remember that maybe they don’t make anymore, look here. If you want to get the weirdest flavor of soda as a gag gift (Ranch Dressing Soda.), look here. If you need to have a one-​stop shop, this is your place.
BUT, if you are looking for a particular import and can afford the time to look for that specific kind of store, there’s where you’ll get the better deal. In particular, there is British and Japanese candy here that can be acquired at a better price elsewhere, but then you’d have to find that place, go there, and they would not also have Ranch Dressing Soda, so, you know, if that’s the kind of risk you want to take.

I love this place! has every kind of soda and candy you can image. They even have strawberry kit kats. Very impressed and the staff was friendly and full of recommendations.

Pretty much any candy you could think of, with some pop culture items thrown in. Excellent stop for gourmet sodas and unusually-​flavored chocolate bars.
The fill-​your-​own-​bag area with taffy and classic candies is a decent deal. However, a lot of the imported items have a substantial markup. You can find better prices on the Japanese goods, especially, at local Japanese supermarkets.
A fun place to bring visitors to Westwood, or to satisfy a random sweet tooth.

What an adorable place! If you can’t find a cute and appropriate gift for someone here, you just aren’t looking.
They have a fabulous selection of «vintage» and nostalgic candy — you’ll find something that reminds you of your childhood, regardless what decade that was. There are also classic movie cutouts, placards, and memorabilia.
You might not know this but there is a party room upstairs you can rent — definitely something to keep in mind for a fun and inexpensive party room in a cool location.
This is a find for sure! It’s impossible to get out of here in less than thirty minutes and without dropping at least some cash — good news is you can get a lot of cuteness for not much money. Love.

Rocket Fizz is an amazing store. Thousands of different soda flavors are yours for the taking. Grab a basket and load up on your liquid sugar rush.
They also have candy and goofy gag gifts, along with fun tin signs and other knick-​knacks.
Bonus: The staff at this location were super friendly.

They have a bunch of foreign candies from all over the world. Of course i got the bag of green tea kit kat, they had a huge sign on their sidewalk advertising that they had it in stock! The bag was $ 9.99!!!
My boyfriend got some weird sodas that would be cool to collect as they are some funky flavors. You can find so many unique, unimaginable things in here. It was fun looking around. Other things we walked out with were some kitkat bars and milka chocolates.
The only downside is that it is pretty pricey. Even the more «cheap» items such as the Hello Pandas and Pockeys (which you can find at stores like target for a dollar) were way too overpriced. BUT i feel like this is a touristey-​store (there were some tourists browsing) so i guess its understandable.

When I die, I’d love to be buried in Rocket Fizz, please. OMG so many old skool toys, and candies. I spent about 30 mins in here walking in circles and reminiscing. Candy cigarettes, superhero posters, even foreign versions of candy favs like Kit Kat! I purchased something for all my kids. The large batman statue in the center of the store was convincing me to take him home for my son. Love this place!

My friend & I got the Kit Kat Green Tea wafers from Japan as well as these Oreo Hazelnut treats, which were quite expensive, $ 9.99, but they are DELICIOUS & YUMMY!!!
This store has ALL the coolest imported chocolates, candies from the past eras when we were kids, and the funniest goodies to eat and share with friends.
I felt like a kid in a candy store HAHAHHAHA!!!
I definitely am coming back here on the regular!
This is the place to go when you think you can’t find your chocolates that are imported. This place really is unique…
It’s the place to buy some candies when you want to just cheer or love someone who needs to smile =)
And get hyper! =)

We happened to be walking thru Westwood Village so we stopped in here. The displays are excellent and it really appears to be a fun place to shop for candy.
So we filled a large bag with Salt Water Taffy. Much to our surprise most of it was not fresh. After spending about $ 8 on this bag of candy we had to test each piece and there were so many stale ones we thru it out. Warning to be careful as some of their stock is not fresh!

Nostalgia.
They have all the candy from your childhood, and for those of you that have been abroad, you’ll be ecstatic to know that they also carry candy that you thought you could only find in Europe.

Rocket Fizz in Westwood is a great addition, especially with their late hours on Saturday nights. Many students stroll in with curious others to see candies of their past, and a metric ton of sodas. Entering, you’ll note the soda refrigerators to your right, and they are filled to the brim of all kinds of rare-​themed sodas like Moxie, Bubble Up, Fentiman’s, Boylans, and countless others. This place has diabetes written all over it, and at the low low cost of your liver. While most of us don’t care, you’ll note that they have the following cool treats you’ll rarely find:
–Fundip
–Pop Rocks
–Several varieties of traditional brands like M&M’s
–Chupa chups
–Sour punch kids
–Giant candy bars the side of your head
–Sugar cane sodas that you won’t see even at BevMo
–Japanese candies including hi-​chew, Yan-​Yan, kit-​kats, and Pocky sticks
–Big league chew bubble gum and double bubble
–Oreos of all kinds
–Boxed candies you’ll get at the movies like Mike & Ikes, Twizzlers, Junior Mints, Nestle’s chocolate covered peanuts, and sour patch kids
–Swiss chocolates of all varieties like Lindt
–Jelly Belly’s of all kinds
–Pez candies and dispensers
–British candies such as Cadbury chocolates (made with whole milk and not emulsifiers: cough Hershey cough:)
–Caramel apple suckers
–Bacon themed candy
–Celebrity themed candies
The pricing is reasonable and parking is tough, it’s a great store like Aah’s down the street. I’m not sure how Rocket Fizz makes a profit. I hope this store gets to stay, as I enjoyed buying some lollipops and sour candies for myself and like-​minded friends. If you’ve seen an odd candy only to never think you’d see it, well think again. Rocket Fizz probably has it.

I brought my little nephew in here, but secretly, the visit here was solely for my visit. I love candies and toys and this place just made me giggidity that I was in the store for about 30 minutes.
Dozens and dozens of all these different sodas that I couldn’t buy at the time because I didn’t want to be a bad influence on the young lad, but I’ll be coming back and stocking up on all these sweet sodas.
And the same goes for the all these rare and sometimes never heard of candies and chocolates that I was dying to try out.
And they have lots and lots of random toys from lunch boxes, slinkies, toy guns, etc. It’s every kids dream to come here… and mine too.

I was in Westwood for lunch and after walking out of the parking structure this store was right in my face. I couldn’t not walk in.
This place has lots of flavored soda and a lot of odd candies which kept me watching around for a good 20 minutes.
I definitely like some of the over sized pez heads. Though I definitely plan on collecting some of their tin signs. They would be cool to have for my garage.
I’ll definitely be back.

Rocket Fizz is packed with novelty items that dates back to the days gone by. It’s located in Bruin territory with eateries such as Chipotle, Shophaus, Five Guys and Barney’s.
I love visiting this place. There are so many selections of candies and gifts. My visit to Westwood is incomplete without a stop here.

Here it is plain and simple kids:
This place has got what you want when it comes to pancreatic shock inducing needs.
I came in looking for those sugar free gummy bears, yup they got ‘em.
Then I wanted a big giant gummy bear for my nephew. Yup, they got ‘em.
What I like are the bulk candy barrels in back. Here you can grab a sweet red licorice, lemon, or huckleberry chewy candy, and spend less than 50 cents.
I like the vibe, selection, and the price. Usually I drop in on Thursdays while farmers market is going, but every now and then it’s a nice «dessert» after a burger from next door.
A 4-​star candy place, just wish it was bigger. It’s so tiny you’re in and out in a flash it seems.
