The Story

Big Top puts a working fountain in the back of a South Congress candy shop draped in circus banners. Order an egg cream, browse the bulk bins, and rejoin the SoCo crowd.

    🍬✨ Highly recommend! The store has an incredible variety of candy, and visiting feels like a trip down memory lane. So many nostalgic treats and fun finds all in one place. Amazing experience and will definitely be back! 😊

    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!
