Hielito Bits, nestled at 478 Roncesvalles Ave in Toronto, is quickly becoming a beloved destination for those craving authentic flavors in a cozy coffee shop setting. The buzz around this charming spot is unmistakable, with patrons raving about their delightful offerings.

One highlight is the lime raspado, celebrated by Syd Healey as an "incredible" and "refreshing" treat. The shaved ice is soft, complementing the tangy, citrus zest perfectly; it’s a quintessential summer indulgence. The tamales have also garnered attention, especially during their brunch offering, where Esly Flores noted them as "AMAZING," paired harmoniously with heartwarming cafe de olla and chilaquiles.

Paletas here are a standout, with steph niesz claiming they’re so good she considered owning her franchise. The Fruit Mix and various flavors, such as Horchata and Coconut, have patrons like Tali Rosemberg eagerly recommending Hielito Bits to friends and family. Additionally, Sake Sushi Toronto’s enthusiasm for their diverse popsicle selection, enjoyed in the heat of summer, underscores the brand’s commitment to fresh ingredients and vibrant tastes.

All these reviews reflect a genuine passion for quality at Hielito Bits, making it a must-visit for dessert aficionados and casual diners alike.

Tried the lime raspado and it was incredible—so refreshing and packed with real citrus flavor. The shaved ice was super fine and soft, and the lime had the perfect tangy kick, not too sweet, just right. You can tell they use fresh ingredients. It’s the perfect treat on a hot day. Can’t wait to go back and try more flavors!

I have been craving tamales for the longest time, I got so excited when I saw they announced brunch and it was a great decision!! Tamales are AMAZING, the chilaquiles and the cafe de olla is heartwarming.

The most delicious paletas. I ate one, and then immediately bought a second. Seriously considered asking if the owners would sell me a franchise so I could open up my own Hielito Bits so I could have paletas everyday. Cute branding.

We have tried many other popsicles and we love each of them! We ordered 7 different flavours (sorry not all the popsicles in the picture cuz all our staff were busy to take a bite). We will definitely try more during this hot summer season. Highly recommended!!

The Fruit Mix and Paletas were delicious! I had the Horchata and Coconut paletas. Will definitely be back and have been proactively recommending this place to family and friends.

It’s a wonderful pleasure to come to Hielito Bits always. Now with the new amazing items such as the tamales, molletes, hot olla coffee and brunch special, totally a must for this season as good as summer with their specialties popsicle

This place is a gem on the west side. Their prices, although not cheap, are reasonable and the quality of the food is well worth it. Their tamales are pretty good, the americano is always tasty, the marquesitas are quite delicious, and all their frappe and mixed drinks are certainly inviting to dine in and accompany them with the various snacks. They now also offer some mexican knick-knacks and crafts as well. I even found a nice Xmas present to bring to Europe! If you're in the area, definitely check this place out.

I love the friendly staff and delicious food, they really make you feel at home. Tamales, pan dulce and the cappuccino with dulce de leche are my favourite for the winter, Chamoyada, popsicles with chile and dorilocos for the summer yum!
