The store is very pretty, and the packaging is really pretty too with ribbons. The little violets are so pretty! King Alfonso XIII got some pretty candies here for the queen, so it's traditional. They're open throughout the day, so you don't have to worry about the place being closed for siesta. They are closed on Sunday.

We fell in love with those so we stopped by this place to check it out and brought back some goodies. The stuff we bought (seen in the picture) looked really good but but it turned out to be just too sweet for us. I wish they'd provide samples as I can't imagine spending what we spent. The only thing that my kid liked was his lollipop that we got from this place and that too was pricey. And oh we did like the bag as well, haha.

This is a great store to get your chocolates and cookies…read more So many options. Highly recommended!

You can also mix and match different candies, which is what I like to do! The only downside is that some of the candy isn't as fresh as the others, so make sure you watch for that!

You better Hari up and try some Haribo Candy…read more They actually make some pretty good candy. When you're in Europe when you get those fizzy Cola bottles for example, now that's what I'm talking about. Very good stuff. Elsewhere in the world not quite so much. But still they make some pretty damn good things and are a high-quality company.

Do yourself a favor and stop here for torrija. I would recommend taking it to go or seeing if you…read morecan snag a spot upstairs. This place gets busy and packed and was hectic when we stopped in.

La Mallorquina came as a recommendation from our hotel when I asked for a local bakery with coffee…read more I'd had a long list of places I wanted to try but always like to ask as well. We happened upon it and I was so pleasantly surprised. I think we went three times during our time in Madrid. I loved the counter experience, I'd definitely recommend that option. I wasn't looking to sit down and do all of that upstairs so my review is solely based on counters on the first floor. The locals love this spot and that is quite obvious. I was told in advance that they do and coming here was very enjoyable. The pastries and coffee are very yummy, you won't be disappointed. Makes for the perfect spot if you really want to get your day started but want to grab a quick bite before doing so.

The shop is clean and lots of fun to explore. Torron is like a nougat made of honey, sugar, and egg white, with nuts. They have some many different types, like hazlenut, lemon, pistachio.

Churros and Chocolate is a must-try when visiting Madrid, and there's no better place to try it…read morethan Chocolatería San Ginés. The restaurant has been around for over a century and they've perfected their craft by now. They were very busy when we arrived and the line to get in was out the door. Fortunately, it looks like the restaurant owns the whole block, so we were lead to another indoor area with a lot of seating available. The Churros con Chocolate was incredible. The churros were nice and crispy and the chocolate was hot and rich. They combined perfectly. Once I finished the churros, I devoured the remaining chocolate by scraping the cup using the provided spoon.
