Best candy shop in Texas according to Southern Living magazine! They have a hugh selection of packaged and bulk candy. It's a nostalgic joy to fill a bag with as many types of loose candy as you'd like. The bags are then priced based on their weight. Options include taffy, chocolates, gummies, and much more. There are a few free parking spaces in front of the shop and free parking on nearby streets.

We were visiting Texas, a while ago, and stopped here I'm so glad we did! Walking into the store made me feel like a kid again. We has a store like this in WI when I was a little kid. They have an awesome variety of candy, chocolate, taffy and so much more. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful! The prices are very reasonable! If you are visiting Austin definitely stop in here. Looking forward to coming back again!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Big Top Candy Shop is pure nostalgia! If you’re looking for candies you thought disappeared years ago, this is the place to visit. They have an incredible selection of classic favorites, unique treats, and fun sweets for all ages. One thing we really appreciated was the little seating area inside where you can enjoy your goodies before heading back out into the Texas heat—definitely a nice touch when chocolate is involved! Whether you’re shopping for kids or just embracing the big kid in your own soul, Big Top Candy Shop is a fun stop that will bring back so many memories. We had a blast and will definitely visit again the next time we’re in Austin!
