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.

A very small shop that specializes in candies made with the extract of violets. How cool is that?…read more Great packaging that's ready to be given. So I bought two boxes as gifts for my wife and she loved it. Very sweet, but a different flavor.

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.

We bought so many different kinds of candy and chocolate here! The staff was attentive and helped us find they perfect gifts! It was wonderful to return to the states and find this brand on Amazon and even in a store in Williamsburg! A bit of Spain here in America! Love it!!

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.

The staff there are super knowledgeable about wine, ham, and cheese, and they are always eager to make a good recommendation if you're not sure what you want. They also frequently have wine or ham tasting events that I'm dying to try. I'm always a fan of gourmet food stores that double as bars, and my friends and I love to meet up and grab drinks here after work. Last night, we noticed that they have an aperitivo deal for vermouth and a tapa for 3 euros-- so that will probably be the next thing we try there! Overall, a cool neighborhood full of interesting bars, great staff, lots of space, and most importantly, lots of cheese!
