Not one to back down from the "Everything Is Bigger in Texas" tradition is Austin's Big Top Candy Shop, a massive candy store located right on South Congress. Inside you'll find over 2,000 types of candies, including over 300 varieties that are sold in bulk. Browse rows and rows filled with obscure candies, some you might not have thought of since childhood!
Regulars appreciate the old-school candy shop atmosphere while creating a personalized drink at the old-fashioned soda bar. With flavors like blueberry, hazelnut, coconut, and kiwi, you'll be sure to concoct something unique and delicious. Regulars also recommend the cucumber soda and fizzy lemonade. Big Top also serves up Blue Bell ice cream, shaved ice, Italian cream soda, and they make a doozy of a shake.
This is a nice place to stop by for a treat after a long day exploring the South Congress shopping district.
