Doña María Gordillo

Very unique and old school desserts shop. The sweets are to die for! Must try.

Local candy shop. Seems very popular.

If you go to Antigua you have to go to this place! The best I've tried in a long time! "Canillas de leche" was my favorite! You will not find this place in other location so you have to go for sure, you will not regret it! We purchased a lot of things to take to our country!

Reminded me of those old and Grand candy stores in Spain and Portugal. The desserts are very traditional and very unique, might be a tad too sweet for some. But one should definitely try some pieces to get the flavor of what local people like to have for sweets last century.

Delicious local sweets. My favorite is higo (candied fruit). I bought each 2pcs and tried them all 😜

Unfortunately the candy has changed its flavor dramatically since the last time we visited the store. This time they have too much sugar. Even I can't eat a sweet without feeling nauseous because of how sugary they are now. Please go back to the traditional recipe, that makes the legendary Doña Maria de Gordillo a special place.

Please order canillas de leche, the flavor and texture are insane 😍

María Gordillo's candy shop in Antigua Guatemala is a delightful journey into the past. The ambiance feels like stepping back in time, enhanced by the warm hospitality of the ladies working there. The sweets are incredibly affordable and delicious, pleasing to the palate with each bite. The personal touch and welcoming atmosphere make you feel right at home. For less than 50 quetzales, you can fill a small box with treats, or even take home cocoa round bars for around 30 quetzales to create your own drink delights. It's the perfect place to find a heartfelt gift for loved ones back home.
