Big Top takes one's sweet tooth on a dreamy vacation immersively devoted into its very existence. The craft of sugar is on divine display in this nostalgic store on South Congress.

If dentists could have but 1 dream, every man, woman, and child would be lined up to enter this establishment, as there is something for everyone here.

Staff are incredibly well chosen and suited for their positions. Knowledgeable, approachable, genuinely helpful, bilingual, authentically friendly, and incredibly efficient in this well-oiled, decadent homage to all-things-sweet.

Environment is clean, well merchandised, and designed well.

Someone is very much on her/his game with this concept overall. It is well run and managed. Future mayor? President???

Just look for the elephant atop Big Top.

The second you walk in this place you are taken back by the delicious aroma of candy. They have all kinds of candy. They have a wide selection of prepackaged candy to delicious homemade candy. We enjoyed wandering around this shop and looking at all of the selections. The staff was very helpful and informative. This is a fantastic place to stop for a sweet treat.

Today my 4 year old son got on my IPad and somehow found your store and called and wanted to order some candy. The best part is we live in Oklahoma! I am giving a 5 star rating on service because the person that answered the phone sounded very nice and seemed happy to be there but I’m sorry you got hung up on because I froze and didn’t know what to say! We will have to make a special trip in the future just for your shop!

Excellent assortment of all kinds of different candies and sweets. Fair pricing on all of their items as well. It was a bit crowded on the Saturday I visited, but that’s to be expected in any store on the street. Will definitely stop by again next time I’m in the area!

COOLEST CANDY SHOP!!! Had to bring the kiddos here while down this way. All the staff are very friendly. There is an insane amount of candy to choose from. The pictures and videos do not do justice for what’s in there. There is a picture of all of our candy collectively and then just one with the youngest in front of the door. Definitely need to stop here whether your an adult by yourself or with a child to just see all the goodies and lots of things from when I was a child as well. Enjoy!!

I love love Big Top! The staff is always so friendly. I went in and got the pick and mix candy nearing closing time and the staff was so welcoming and happy to help!

Lots of variety and both my son and husband were definitely kids in a candy store. They also have fudge, truffles, decorated sugar cookies, and a large variety of flavored sodas you can't get just everywhere.

Fun! We spent quite a while here checking out all of the fun candies we loved from our childhoods, along with some new stuff we've never seen. Careful, though - those bags of candy add up fast in poundage but are totally worth it for the mix and ability try so many different things. We were like kids in a candy store...in a candy store with our kid! The truffles are wonderful, as were the other chocolate covered goodies we've tasted. Still haven't tried everything we brought home - it's the gift that keeps on giving, especially if you're like me and can only enjoy a piece or 2 at a time without getting a sugar overload. The shakes and ice cream were delish as expected (Blue Bell products), and everyone that entered seemed to enjoy themselves. Friendly, helpful staff is always the icing on the cake. If you have some free time and need something to look at, this is your place, sweet tooth or not!

Possibly the best Candy store me or my partner have ever been in. It's got all the cravings from vintage candies for the die hards, as well as era specific foods and different dietary goodies.as.well as the modern fare. The standout selection of bag your own candies is vast and it's very well priced for those that go for the POUNDS of candy like I do. Lol. I'm definitely a Gummy type of boy and this place has it all. And if you can't, they can try and find it for you! The staff is super helpful, and they know me andy partner by name now. Lol. Staff is very friendly! Their soda fountain is fantastic and they will mix any drink to your satisfaction. Only advice, steer clear of the mid hot dogs. Lol which they themselves say it's the only way to get around the alcohol license. Yes... They now sell alcoholic sodas!

This place is pure magic. Any candy you can dream up and the nicest staff! Such sweet prices too! Don’t skip the root beer floats! They are life changing on a hot day.

R U Ready for some Candy 🍬🍭🍬

Over the TOP 🎩 awesomeness.

Definitely worth visiting just for the Novelty of all the delights inside.

I assembled a chocolate coin and Bubble gum display I'll treasure for ages. Along with exotic candy and standard flare candy.

You should visit this.

This place is a fantastic mix of nostalgia and brand new!
They’ve got it all from candy, taffy, quirky sodas, and some toys to fill your own bags full of chocolate.

They have popcorn, a soda bar, a case full of truffles, and a CBD candy stall in the back for the adults.

A sweet journey down memory lane.
Found so many things I had not seen in decades and was happy to find chocolate bars with very peculiar flavours (chicken and waffles)

Lots and I mean TONS of sweets to choose from. Great place for us kids of the 1970s to find our favorites. Odd stuff too like flavored crickets and scorpion lollipops. Egg Creams and other desert drinks available. Cool place to checkout

Super cool and fun candy shop. I loved walking around and seeing what kind of stuff they sell. Saw a very interesting soda selection (shown in the picture). I personally didn’t find it expensive. Definitely visit if you’re by the area.

They had one of the biggest range of candys and sweets I’ve seen! And when I found out they do rootbeer floats, man I had a blast! As you might’ve guessed, it was heavenly.

Such a fun place for a quick sugar rush. Not outrageously priced. Clean, happy friendly people there. They service Blue bell ice cream. Fresh and homemade fudge can be found on back counter. All kinds of different types of candies. Bulk and single items for sell.

We've never been to Big Top, but it was our daughter's 3rd birthday today and we wanted to take her somewhere cool since we skipped a party this year (thanks, COVID). We loved the balance of classic candy and new candy! Our two kids had a blast picking out all kinds of stuff.

When we got to the counter, the workers were so patient and kind! When we told them we were there as a birthday treat, they gave our daughter a free scoop of ice cream. Everything was so delicious! We'll definitely be coming back to satisfy any future sweet tooth cravings!

This place is magical. This place comes complete with a real soda bar, Ice cream, pop corn, great tunes that set the perfect ambiance and of course, all the candy you can think of in one place! Don’t forget to get your positive energy in a can. Go check them out! Totally recommend.

Just a store with lots and lots of candy. Old school candy. Interesting drinks. So many cool things mounted on the wall. My wife loves this store. I don't like sweet stuff but she does.
