The Candy Jar

Cool candy shop. When you walk in a sugary sweet vanilla yummy smell permeates the store. Makes you want there chocolates. They had samples sitting out. It was very very good. It was some of their chocolate. Super yummy. This store has some nostalgic and some new candies. They also serve snowballs which looked really really good. Cute little shop. We Enjoyed shopping here.

OMG if you are looking for just about any type of candy then the Candy Jar is the place to check out! The have not only the common cool stuff in special gift packages, but also the old candy from 20 plus years ago. When I was exploring in this store I was like a kid in a candy store. The store is a pretty good size and completely filled with things that are guaranteed to give you a sugar rush!
They make their own candy here too. Up by the front check out area there are glass cases of candy they have made and other special candies they have gotten from other candy companies. I ended up getting a few things to try. I got a cup o’chocolate with cookies and cream, peanut butter melt away and a banana split bark. The banana split bark was good but probably my least favorite. The peanut butter melt away was super creamy and the perfect thing to satisfy your sweet tooth. I also really liked the cup o’chocolate with cookies and cream. I am almost always a fan of things with cookies in it!
As I browsed the store I was amazed at the rock candy options they have, the variety of salt water taffy and the colors of candy throughout the store! If you are looking to have a wedding candy bar this is the place to come for the glass containers and to match the candy to your colors. In the back of the store they have a room for parties. They will do candy parties for the kiddos. If I were 7 or 8 I would totally be into that … wait who am I kidding I would still love to have my next birthday here.
If you are looking for a gift for someone, stocking stuffers, special holiday candy or candy anything then come here! I bet you will leave here feeling happy … I did!

We love this candy shop! Great selection, good prices and amazing customer service. They all the good candy and lots of really unique and fun stuff too. Someone was having a birthday party while we were there and the kids all came out for a quick scavenger hunt. They looked like it was a lot of fun. I highly recommend this store!

Talk about being a kid in a candy store! Wow! If your sweet tooth craves it, they have it! I did not know you could be a candy expert, but Brian is! He knows candy and travels to make sure he stays on top of his candy game!
It is awesome to find a business that is family run and exceeds your expectations! If you want something special, this is the place to go!

Even though I don’t have a huge sweet tooth, I do get a craving for some hard candy or licorice every now and then. Plus, sweets always make great gifts for kiddos and adults alike. I typically don’t like to include comparisons in my reviews; however, I felt slightly inclined here to put things in proper perspective. I am SO happy that The Candy Jar is in the Hill Country Galleria! I still love Big Top on SoCo, but the Candy Jar is honestly one notch above and closer to home.
When you walk in, the smell is so amazing you can’t help but instantly smile. This is not some dinky, mall candy shop! Candy Jar’s selection is quite impressive: all of the expected bulk candies including salt water taffy, a case filled with fudge and other chocolate goodies, a retro section that has unique and hard to find items (they’re my jam!), and they even have snow «balls» (the ice is finer than a regular snow cone and it’s served in an adorbs plastic bowl; three sizes to choose from) with a vast number of topper flavor choices (they got rid of pickle because it wasn’t selling — sniff sniff).
So what makes the Candy Jar just squeeze over the novelty of Big Top? Two words: customer service. Some of the nicest, most helpful, and really «act like they love their jobs» young men I’ve come across in a very long time. Oh, and I believe the prices are a little more reasonable. Snaps!!!
Tip: The Candy Jar has a large room at the back of the store where you can host birthday, Princess, or any themed party of your choice — as long as it includes candy of course. ;)

This place is absolutely amazing to host a birthday party. We recently had a Princess Party at the Candy Jar, and they handled everything flawlessly, making sure each detail was perfect. I cannot say enough how much I appreciate working with the great folks at the Candy Jar, and I would highly recommend having your kiddos’ party there — especially the Princess theme!

I love this place. They have candy that I haven’t seen in years! Basically any type of candy you can be craving. And they have snow cones. What really keeps me recommending this place to people though is the customer service. Everyone here is super friendly, and doesn’t do the whole fake-​nice-​retail thing.

Fabulous customer service; everyone seemed to love their job!
The chocolates in the case were amazing! The best I’ve had in Austin (even those they’re in Bee Cave).

This place is such an adorable and needed candy store. I love love love their chocolate turtles! All of their chocolate from the front case is magical and the sno-​cones are delish. I can’t resist stopping by when at the galleria. They even have the old fashioned candy cigarettes and huge gummy bears. Love going here and the employees are very friendly.

My daughter loves The Candy Jar! Fun mix/​match selection of goodies. Nice room in back for parties. We had my daughter’s birthday party there. They offer different themes. We did the Tea Party theme, and our «host» (Lisa) was wonderful.

We had my daughter’s 7^th birthday here. The staff was so helpful and cheerful… and they made throwing a party so easy! All the girls had a great time. The store is beautiful and the candy is delicious. I would highly recommend it… for a party or just a visit!

This darling store is so fun. We just celebrated my daughters birthday here and it was such a magical experience for her. Staff was so sweet and helpful. Just loved everything about this place. Thank you!

Excellent choices including sugar free
Great prices
They do parties
Sugar free toffy and gummy worms were great

This place is simply precious! They have an impressive selection of candy including a nice selection of British lollies such as Smarties and Yorks. There is a darling little party room which would make the perfect setting for a child’s birthday or girl’s night out. The only drawback for the germaphobe in me was that the employee used his bare, unwashed hands to select our fabulous homemade peppermint patties. And I was thrilled that they carry award winning Mast Brothers chocolates! Super cute place.
