    Nostalgia abound! Adorable little old-fashioned candy store with lots of childhood faves, new offerings, and more. Young, college-aged staff that are super helpful and friendly.

    This is a cute recreation of a western town in the 1880s. It's free for you to roam around and check it out. Some of the mannequins are creepy, but it was fun to check out.

    I was a huge fan of this shop, they had a lot of different candy types and brands, some of which I had not had since I was a kid. Needless to say, I bought a lot of different treats when I visited

    I'm a sucker for candy stores. Since it is located in a touristy area, the prices are a little high. They did have a good variety of different candies, such as fudge, saltwater taffy, oldies but goodies like Nerds and candy cigarettes, and my personal favorites, mexican candies (mexicandy). They also serve ice cream and sodas. Service was friendly from the girl with the candy colored hair.

    We bought some ice cream after dinner. I had the salted caramel and it was really good. Service was fast and friendly.

    Took our son to pick out a piece of candy, the young lady was friendly but didn't hover.

Whenever we're out and about on South Congress (shopping and/or brunching), we like to stop in for a little treat. They even have an old-fashioned soda fountain where you can get egg cream soda. Now, I'm an expert of sorts on real NYC egg creams and I'll say they do a pretty decent job of it. I love the Italian cream soda! You can get scoops of ice cream, sundaes, and banana splits too. The candy selection is crazy big. Bins and bins of penny candy, gum, chocolate, nostalgia candies...too many to name. It absolutely feels like time has stood still in this marvelously sweet shop. Always a tasty experience!

Opening back in 2007, this circus-themed shop has become an iconic staple of the SoCo strip, complete with vintage sideshow memorabilia, floor-to-ceiling shelves, and a old-school soda fountain serving up classic milkshakes and floats. They have some pretty unique candies and other trinkets, ranging from nostalgic retro sweets you probably haven't seen since childhood to imported treats from all over the world. Walking through the doors genuinely feels like stepping back in time. Decently priced items fire the most part. If you are strolling down South Congress and looking to satisfy a sweet tooth or just enjoy a fun, nostalgic atmosphere, Big Top Candy Shop is a must-visit destination in Austin.
