For special occasions that call for sweet treats or those moments when only sugar and cocoa will do, Austin has no lack of options for candies and chocolates for gifts, party favors, or just yourself.
Here are the city’s best sweets shops for truffles, gummies, taffy, pralines, and other sugary goods. There are high-end chocolate stores like Delysia Chocolatier, the truest candy wonderland over at Big Top Candy Shop, the quirky Toy Joy, and others.
As with all businesses right now, be sure to call ahead to make sure each restaurant is still open or if there are updates on current offerings and service models, as things are changing constantly. Be sure to wear a mask, tip well, and, if you’re ordering delivery, try to order directly from the restaurants themselves.
