Big Top Candy Shop
About
1706 S Congress Ave, Austin, TX 78704, USA Get directions
Big Top Candy Shop is a fittingly eccentric stop along South Congress, packing two floors with floor-to-ceiling candy bins, retro novelties, and a soda fountain that serves hand-scooped ice cream and old-fashioned malts. First-timers tend to notice the carnival clutter right away — vintage circus decor, oddball gag gifts, and bulk sweets ranging from nostalgic American classics to bacon-flavored curiosities.

Caroline
Austin
Caroline is a downtown Austin all-day spot just off Congress Avenue, the kind of place you can drop into for coffee in the morning and still find humming with a dinner crowd late into the evening. Expect casual American plates and a relaxed, social atmosphere that leans more neighborhood hangout than formal restaurant.

Mozart's Coffee Roasters
Austin
Mozart's sits right on the edge of Lake Austin, where a sprawling multi-level wooden deck overlooks the water and the boats drifting past — the kind of place where people linger over coffee and a slice of cake well past dark. Come for the lake view and the late hours, but know that weekends draw a crowd, and around the holidays the patio lights up with a popular synchronized music-and-light show.

Magnolia Cafe
Austin
A South Congress fixture, Magnolia Cafe serves diner-style breakfast around the clock and well into the night, so it's as much a 2 a.m. refuge as a morning stop. Look for the "Sorry, We're Open" sign out front, and don't skip the gingerbread pancakes or the queso poured over their hash-brown "Mag Mud."
