Confectioner's opened in 1849 and famous for its yemas del Tajo (egg-yolk sweets), with a recipe patented since 1934. They make about 1,600 yemas a day; Bardal serves them on its menu (Guía Repsol).
Better for takeaway than for sitting in: reviews include complaints about the coffee and the service. They may not accept cards for under €10. Do not confuse it with Tapería Las Campanas (gluten-free), at no. 16 on the same square, which has lower ratings.
There is a car park on Plaza del Socorro (no. 11), but on Parclick it showed as temporarily closed in October 2026; if it is not open, park at the Martínez Astein car park (24 h, €1.70/h) and walk.
