I wasn't expecting much when I walked in, my thoughts were along the line of "....a specialty…read morepopcorn shop? Hmmmmmmmmm...." but I was pleasantly surprised! We walked in and the aroma was absolutely amazing! We were greeted by a very nice woman (I didn't catch her name), who asked if we'd been there before. I let her know this was our first time and she told us about all the different flavors, and how the pricing works. She gave us several samples, and anything we asked for she was more than happy to give us a taste. We tried the dill, Sriracha, buffalo, sea salt and dark chocolate, zebra, and puppy chow..(I THINK that's all, we tried a LOT). All were just as tasty as the last! We settled on a bag of dill, a bag of Sriracha, and she mixed the sea salt and dark chocolate with the zebra in a bag for us. The customer service was top notch, and the popcorn is amazing! I'd recommend this place to anyone!

We got dill mixed with jalapeño cheddar last week. And white cheddar for the kid. And they brought back grape and banana! (Don't knock it till you try it! It keeps my sweet tooth at bay.) They're generous with samples and ALWAYS welcoming. We go to Wimberley just for popcorn. That's about 45 minutes for popcorn. Yep. That good!!

It was the perfect place to stop and buy a small gift. And the reason why I'm reading it. Four stars is because when you walk in all the employees notice you. Not one employee is going to say hi not one is gonna ask if you need help with anything. So there's no customer service skills.

My husband's work sent him a gift box that included a bag of the "Banana Puddin' and since he's…read morelactose intolerant he put the bag in the "weird snack" section of the pantry and forgot all about it. A few months ago I was in a snacky mood but really didn't want to eat the kids' crummy school-safe granola bars. Deep in the bowels of the pantry was the glorious bag of banana puddin' popcorn, which I ate in its entirety. It was all I could do to not cut open the bag and lick the banana puddin' dust from it. (I did not do that. I'm a strong, independent woman.) How do I describe this stuff? Sweet, salty, chewy with just the right amount of give. More flavorful than your average Cavendish but not cloying and fake like a Laffy Taffy. Flash forward three months and I'm still thinking about this stuff. I'm having a hard time justifying importing my personal snacks from Austin, but am already game-planning a bulk order for the holidays. Or a trip to Austin.

I came in a little while back to purchase some popcorn!!!! I love popcorn and supporting a local…read morebusiness, so coming here was a win-win. There is more than one type of popcorn. The two primary types of popcorn are regular or classic popcorn and gourmet popcorn. Regular popcorn is characterized by its simplicity and affordability, while gourmet popcorn offers a more sophisticated and diverse range of flavors, often with premium ingredients. Gourmet popcorn typically includes premium popping corn, high-quality oils, and a diverse range of seasonings and coatings. Ingredients can vary widely depending on the flavor, ranging from truffle oil and parmesan for savory options to caramel and chocolate for sweet varieties. The popcorn served here by definition is gourmet. I purchased the banana pudding popcorn. This popcorn has a creamy texture after the initial crunch of the popcorn dissipates. This particular flavor may be ideal for those who enjoy snacks that are sweet (banana pudding sweet) and yet still provide the crunch many seek when looking for a snack. #supportlocal

Also, I can't imagine they sell ALL of their popcorn each day so there is bound to be leftovers for days to come. Maybe that's why it was stale.

Still giving it 5 stars for effort and service and variety. Would rather make my own or eat fresh movie theater popcorn.

This is a small food truck with only one person working in it, so be patient but the churros are definitely worth the wait. Service was friendly!

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.

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.
