The place may need some upgrades, as the floors were a bit dirty and I noticed some cobwebs. It's not clear if the owners take pride in the cleanliness of the place or are just not interested in cleaning. Overall, not a bad spot for a quaint little candy shop.

Large Top Candy Shop is an amazing place. It's not just a place to satisfy your sweet tooth, but also a place filled with friendly people who love what they do. I have to give a shoutout to Melissa Powers. Every time I've visited while she's working, she greets me with a smile and great customer service. If you're ever in town, make sure to stop by, indulge in some delicious treats, maybe say hi to Melissa, and have a fantastic day!

Welcome to the world of sensational sensory indulgence. The Total experience served up by the sweetest ring leader herself, Melissa Powers! Austin got it right, and so glad to see that Big Top w/ The power of Power’s (Ha) have thrived since I left Austin. One of my favorite spots for my kids and I to visit when I’m in town! Live and love the sweet life at Big Top!
