This is my kind of grocery store....basically it's all snacks…read more
They have an insane variety of nuts, chocolates and other goodies. We came in to get some turron - the Spanish treat that I had every year for Christmas. However, the one they make here is 1000x-2000x better than the one you get in the US. That's just an estimation though, not exact numbers.
Skip the key chains and magnets come here for the souvenirs for friends. While it can be a little pricier, they will thank you.
We got a couple of varieties:
Chocolate & hazelnut - Amazing! My favorite - it hurt me very much to give my wife the last chunk, since she couldn't eat the harder ones....but that's what husbands do. Creamy milk chocolate with PLENTY of hazelnuts.
Alicante - my second favorite and the one I grew up eating. This is an almond/nuggat turron that's super hard and has a thin coat of candy paper (I think that's what it is) on top. This was always my favorite growing up and is what I consider to be the more traditional one.
Crema quemada - basically translates to "burnt cream" this one tastes like a soft creme brûlée candy bar! It's super sweet, but delicious and will have you licking your fingers.
Aside from the delicious turron they also have dehydrated fruits (which is what the name of the store translates to), nuts and other candies. They also have a few more varieties of turron for you to choose from and they come in various sizes.
We also bought some powered cocoa to make hot chocolate at home.
Customer service was bipolar here. The gentleman we asked for something was super helpful. The cashier - which I think was the owner - wasn't the nicest and I felt he was just rushing everyone of of the store once they got to the point to pay. He seemed a little bothered when I was unsure if he should charge my card in euro or dollars.....he kinda just huffed and pressed whatever. Either way his bitterness is HEAVILY outweighed by his sweets!
