"These centuries-old walls hold the gastronomical heritage of Mexico’s traditional sweets. Founded in 1874 by brothers Alfredo and Luis Guízar de Arias, this traditional confectionary store is one of the oldest in Mexico City. Around 150 recipes from the north, south, and central regions of the country are produced artisanally in copper pots using wooden paddles with traditional ingredients. Initially, the sweets were brought from different states all over Mexico, but as their popularity and demand grew, the family began buying recipes from their partners. They soon began to produce the confections in the basement of their home and even invented some recipes of their own. The sweets produced then became a mix of Indigenous and European traditions. Today the sweets are produced in a separate workshop and another location can be found in the Colonia Roma. Nowadays, visitors can take a step back in time into the 19th-century French-style confectionary store and share a taste with generations past. It’s the perfect spot to stock up on marranitos (pig-shaped cookies flavored with unrefined piloncillo sugar) or sugar skulls for the Day of the Dead. Why not try a huevo real [royal egg], an egg-yolk bread with honey and cinnamon that was even given to one of the viceroys of New Spain? None" - Skuttel, linkogecko, Mitch Lang

"This is one of the most beautiful candy shops in Mexico, if not the world. In the same spot in the Centro for over a century, the space itself is a relic from a time past: The wooden display cabinets, baroque-style mirrors, and even the sign haven't changed in over 100 years. The sweets haven't changed much either, as the Dulceria is one of the only places where you can still find such an array of traditional sweets from cajeta, to mazapan, to cocadas, to an insanely sweet, perfectly moist pay de rompope (eggnog cake)."

"Open since 1874, this sweet shop is dedicated to traditional Mexican confections. It feels a bit like a Parisian patisserie, but the meringues, candied fruit, and coconut-flavored sweets bring you back to Mexico City. The inventory is organized neatly in trays like precious jewels of all colors, so even if you don't have a sweet tooth to satisfy, it's fun to browse." - Scarlett Lindeman

If you’re in CDMX and have a sweet tooth (or even if you don’t!), you have to stop by Dulcería de Celaya. It’s like stepping into a candy dream, everything looks beautiful and tastes even better. You can tell these treats are made with love and tradition. I tried a little bit of everything, mi personal favorite are the lagrimitas, and frutas cristalizadas were out of this world. Honestly, it was hard to choose because everything looked amazing. The shop itself is also gorgeous and full of old-school charm. Perfect place to pick up a gift or just treat yourself. I’ll definitely be coming back every time I’m in the city!

This shop is really old in a good way. The store looks beautiful from inside and you do feel like you walked into a store from hundred years ago. The staff is really patient knows a little bit of English and is patient as you’re trying to figure out which sweets to get out of 10s of options available, especially as a tourist. also, do remember to get the token so that you have a place in line standing. they call the numbers once your number is up you go to the front and then they pick the sweets for you as you tell them . also, while you wait, admire the ceilings and the interior 😄

I love this old sweet shop. As I walk in, it is like stepping back in time. The staff is really friendly and helpful. They explained what many of the sweets are, as they are mostly new to me. I recommend everything, especially the trufa tequila. If there is something specific that you want, then I advise you to get here early.

This is one of the oldest sweet shops in the city and definitely worth checking out with the plus side of leaving with sweets for yourself! The interior is beautiful and they have a variety of sweets on display. I bought a few to try and by the end of the day, regretted now buying more. They’re quite rich and heavy in flavor and taste so pace yourself. Make this a stop on your travels through the city.
