Tienda de Alfajores Regionales at Aeroparque Jorge Newbery
A box of regional alfajores here runs roughly ARS 3,000–6,000 depending on brand and filling, so plan a few minutes and a bit of cash before boarding. Tienda de Alfajores Regionales sits inside Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP), on the landside concourse, and focuses almost entirely on local sweets and giftable snacks.
You’ll see shelves stacked with regional alfajores, dulce de leche jars, and boxed conitos, mostly from Argentine producers you won’t usually find at duty free. Expect multiple chocolate and maicena styles, plus mixed assortments that work well as last‑minute gifts. Single alfajores tend to be the cheapest grab, while nicely packed tins and multi‑packs sit at the higher end.
Payment is straightforward: cards and cash in Argentine pesos are both taken, and prices on the shelf are clearly marked in ARS. Because this is outside the secure area at AEP, leave at least 10–15 minutes extra to buy, repack your bag, and then clear security for domestic flights.
If you care about freshness, glance at production and best‑by dates on the box; local brands usually print them in small type near the crimped edge. Skip anything with a short date window if you’re continuing on a longer multi‑stop trip, and pick classic dulce de leche fillings over experimental flavors if you’re buying for someone you don’t know well.
Practical tip: buy heavier jars of dulce de leche here, then move them to checked baggage before dropping your suitcase, and carry only lighter alfajor boxes through security and on board.
