Gourmet products local specialties and wines Antigua

You can buy different types of coffee from different parts of the country. It is also a pleasant place to enjoy breakfast.

Notice to gourmands: a true chocolate laboratory opened in Antigua! Franck, the adventurer, explores a thousand exotic flavors found locally (cardamom, sesame, lemon, cacahouète, mint, sweet potatoes, banana, pepper, coconut…), and blends without fear of his good chocolate to surprise and give new sensations to your palate. Exquisite! Price very affordable so everyone is happy!

There are mainly necessities, fruits, vegetables, etc. Unlike other urban markets, the Mercado Centrale is not confined in a small space. So you can travel relatively quietly without being forced to dart between shops and stalls. A little in retreat, a modern market brings together several handicraft shops where you can find the same as in the streets, without the "typical" atmosphere.

There are exclusively articles intended for tourists, fabrics, huipiles, souvenirs, all from (you will tell you) the artisan workshops of the villages of the highlands. Smaller but more interesting than the first, since you can see the women weave.

Founded in 2015, this 100% artisanal ice cream store opened a store just off Parque Central in 2018. Its signature flavor honors one of the Guatemalan skills: it's Zacapa rum. The other three specialties of the house are tres leches - three milks - lemon pie ice cream and albahaca con piña - pineapple basil. Glacy Cream is also known for its homemade chocolate, wine and cheesecake ice creams. In addition, the establishment offers a selection of flavors renewed every month.

The specialty of this gourmet chocolate factory, which only works with small producers, is chocolate candies. These colorful little works of art with elaborate shapes and various colors come in a multitude of flavors: beer, cider, caramel, maracuya, almonds or even rum. It would be tempting to buy several of them - with a nice chocolate bar - and then leave, but we invite you to take a seat on one of the armchairs or on the sofa to enjoy a delicious hot chocolate. A chance to try a cocoa-flavored alfajor.
