478 Roncesvalles Ave, Toronto, ON M6R 1Y7, Canada
A Toronto based café specializing in mexican inspired brunch and desserts. We use the highest quality all-natural products to create the Mex-Can fusion we all love. We make Paletas! We have over 20 flavours rotating through the year. All natural, no artificial flavours nor artificial colours. Artisan made in small batches.
Although they're a little pricey, the food was absolutely delicious! They had a popup with a taco spot and the tacos were fantastic! We also tried their empanada and that was packed well and a worthy snack! The staff was friendly and accommodating
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
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.
Got Enchiladas Verdes. Flavourful and overall very delicious! Very cute space and lovely staff, would definitely come again to try other things on the brunch menu 💖💖💖
Authentic Mexican place ❤️ Very delicious mexican style corn and Chocolate Frappe with spicy chocolate 👍🏽 Friendly staff and bright joyful atmosphere! Will visit again 🇲🇽
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!! 🥵❄️🧊🥶💙
hielito bits always has super fun workshops, the owner is very friendly and has a very nice vibe, the place is cozy and feels homely, full of color and with a lot of good food.
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.
Everything great
They must improve customer service
Ordered a chocolate iced latte and a popsicle here. Delicious! #ContestEntry
The brunch is delicious excellent service! I ordered some chilaquiles that were delicious! I also tried the red tamales and they were delicious
I couldnt decide what to try, but I dont think it made a difference since what I ordered tasted very good, great attention and helpful, without a doubt some very delicious and recommended, Kid-friendliness: Delicious things for children
The red chilaquiles were super delicious, the sauce we loved the marquesitas, the coffee with chocolate, the hot cakes, this place is highly recommended for a good brunch and eating Mexican food....
I love shells and bread of the dead!
This place is a hidden gem I wish I d tried earlier. Best enchiladas verdes in town (well seasoned with just the right amount of heat) and the coffee offerings are just not easily available anywhere else. I really enjoyed the cafe de olla, which has a little brown sugar and cinnamon in it. The kitchen is also peanut allergy friendly with the exception of a few smoothies, which doesn t affect the food in the kitchen.
Regular food! Small portions in proportion to the price! A little expensive!
Excellent service I ordered a surprise breakfast for my partner and he was delighted. 100% recommended Service
Highly recommended for the brunch , don t miss the enchiladas potosinas . The best however is the pan de muerto! Food
Great drinks but 2 small sized slushies are $20
Good service and excellent products Vegetarian options: Good flavor Kid-friendliness: Very nice
Yesterday I visited the establishment with a friend, the food was good, no complaints about that, but the customer service was terrible, the girl who served us with a disastrous attitude, responding badly and making bad faces and to clarify us in no way moment we disrespected him despite his bad attitude.
Everything is very delicious and good prices
Good place for brunch and good prices. Good service
Really good vegan enchiladas. Great service.
Excellent Mexican breakfast. Super delicious, well served and good price
Delicious empanadas and excellent service
The best place place in town. You should try the mango-lemonade drink. Food
I got a horchata popsicle, it was ok.
Unreal service but most importantly the food! I got 2 paletas, the chamoy and the Pina Chile for my friend and I love chamoy, it was unreal. Acidic, salty, sweet, spicy, perfect for a hot day. Hes not used to spicy sweet but he loved the Pina Chile. Also got a tamarind Agua fresca, after a spicy treat it cools you down. To finish we had a fruta cup. Its what you want. Chamoy, tajin, mixed fruits. Fresh and lively, its a summer dessert that unlike ice cream doesnt weigh you down. Literally every time Im in the neighborhood Im coming back.
Its very rich, but I would advise you to work on customer service
Love everything in there! Eswuites, paletas, slushis
Great taste. Real fruits. Brought back memories !! #bestpaleta #Toronto
I loved it, the place is super nice with a very original concept and excellent service. I was fascinated by the lemon popsicle with pulparindo and the shells. I want to try everything!
We had Hielito Bits Hielito-Pops Cart cart for the cocktail hour at our wedding and it was a HUGE hit - made our day so fun and special! Our guests absolutely loved the paletas and for those that werent as familiar with some of the flavours, it was such an exciting opportunity to get them trying them out and getting a taste of what I grew up with in Mexico. Appreciated the variety of flavours to ensure there was something available for everyones tastes and dietary restrictions. Would highly recommend them for any event - delicious paletas, adorable setup, and excellent service. Adriana was a dream to work with!
I loved everything I ordered. I highly recommend it!!!!
The food is delicious, tamales verdes my favorites esquites too!! 10/10 please come and enjoy this proud and delicious mexican products
We had them to cater an event for work and it was awesome. Very profesional at all times and very delicious ice cream everyone loved them. Would definitely do it again if we need to hire them to cater an event. Loved the little ice cream cart!
I love how creative the options are! Great flavor combos for the summer!
Good place but lately has been a bit of a disappointment. Had to wait more than 20 min for my order because there was a lot of customers but only 1 employee. This has happened more than once where the girl working is running around getting orders ready for customers and Uber (you can hear the app). At least she keeps a good customer service. Last time I was there there were also many kids yelling, crying and running around and made it hard to have a conversation. I used to love this place when it first started its overall quality has sadly decrease.
Everything is too delicious, varieties of products, the service is great... I love it .
Excellent treatment, quality and service My husband loved his cake, I recommend %
Great please to have a drink and spend time with your family and friends. All the staff were very kind and surely will come back Kid-friendliness: Very colorful place. Great for kids.
Hielito Bits made me remember my childhood in Mexico! The customer service is incredible and the food is awesome! Definitely one of my favorite places in Toronto!!
All very delicious, and super friendly.
First of all, the service is good, the food is very delicious, also the popsicles, I recommend this place 100%.
New fave sweet & savoury snack spot in Toronto! Truly authentic Mexican street foods
Hielito Bits is a gem in the realm of snacks and desserts. Having experienced their delightful chocoflan and participated in their engaging tres leches cake decoration workshop, and planning to participate in the next ones, I can attest to the quality of their offerings. Beyond the treats, their exceptional service, prompt response to messages, and diverse range of activities make Hielito Bits a top-notch destination.
Loved the Playlist with early 2000s hit songs. And the Pineapple juice on a pineapple was delicious.
Horchata paletas Everyone seemed to be enjoying their pineapple drinks I ll have to try that next time! Food
This was my second time purchasing a treat from Hielito Bits, and just like the first time, was very happy with my paleta de coco
The food is delicious, But they dont take orders seriously, I was waiting 30 minutes for my order and when I approached the counter they had forgotten it... I was very upset that they were wasting my time. Make sure they took the request into account so they dont give you a hard time like I did.
I preorder on the to good to go app, drove 25 min with my kids to pick it up and as soon as I got to the place and showed the app, the employee called the manager and she cancelled my order while I m talking to the employee. The owner didn t care about my feedback or my concerns, she said she knew in the morning that she doesn t have food for the evening but still didn t bother to cancel it on the app. No customer service or sympathy. My kids couldn t understand how is it the place doesn t have any food Never will be back and wouldn t recommend it to anyone! I personally don t care if you have anything ready for me or not, you didn t cancel your advertisement on time, now take the loss and offer me something, make it for me! That s what is called customers service
Amazing marquestitas. Fresh and delicious. Double less than what Ive had in Mexico, but very happy its available in Toronto. Highly recommended
Terrible service at the 5 de Mayo festival. Too slow and poorly organized. The shaves are $10 +tax to be just ice.
Honestly, I was quite disappointed. With our order of mango pineapple slushie and horchata drink, one was bland and the other was tasty. The slushy honestly tasted like a colored but watered down drink. Spending 8$ on that was very disappointing. While the horchata was good, the overall experience was disappointing.
New dessert spot in Toronto. Very different from what we have tried before. We go the mango chili popsicle (surprisingly it was salty, with a bit of spice, and some sourness), as well as the marquesitas which was something really new to us (we got the cheese, banana dolce de Leche. It was a good combination of cheesiness, sweet, and warm). Overall Kel rating: /5 The good: tried something new to us! We enjoyed it, would be open to seeing the other dessert options. The decent: cheap eats! The ugly: the popsicle can be a bit of a surprising taste (not on the sweeter end).
Very nice place with very Mexican flavor and ingredients. The desserts they serve there are very rich and varied. I highly recommend it since it is the only one I have seen in Toronto.
Very rich flavor of everything they prepare
Terrible service from the staff, no friendliness and no attitude
Visited as I was excited to try a Marquesita, appreciate the wide range of mexican desserts they offer. The marquesita itself was underwhelming, maybe Im being too harsh as I am comparing them to the ones I had in Merida, but I really wish they topped it with the cheese as that is what makes the first bite amazing. Also , I bought a Bubu lubu, which ended up way past the best before date, so I recommend double checking.
Best paletas in town!! All the treats are delicious. The place is great and the staff very friendly!
One of my favourites places, definitely! Mango is always so delicious. I tried a lot of popsicles and I love all of them because are natural flavours. ( This drink so refresh for hot weather) The place is really good to stay and people there are so gentle.
Amazing service and food, my son loves esquites !!! And I always go for agua de horchata and paletas!!!! I really recommend this place
Pictures are scam. Prices don t match what you are paying for. Order arrived incomplete. I got a $2 refund. Never going to buy from that place again.
My favourites are the marquesitas, conchas, and horchata café! But everything is exquisite!
I would prefer the esquite with mc Cormick mayonnaise, but it is delicious
Excellent service and truly delicious products, very successful
A bit pricey but worth a try. Had their piña colada popsicle and it tasted fresh and homemade. It wasn t the best piña colada flavoured dessert I had, but it s worth a try! A much better option than your standard popsicles.
Truly the best for magonada and super great staff!
The food is very delicious, what I would change is the brand of mayonnaise for McCORMICK which gives more flavor to the whole corn. Also another observation is regarding the whole corn, which they should have in stock on two occasions I have had to go and wait for them to be sewn and once it was still hard I love the corn so I will often be ordering whole corn
$3.50 dollars for a mini shell that lost all the chocolate on the way home! Very expensive and very bad shells!
Everything Ive ordered is so tasty! I always keep coming back, the menu has so many options and Id like to try all. The brunch is a must try
Really don t enjoy leaving bad reviews to local businesses but they left me no choice :( the service was incredibly slow even though we were the only guests at the cafe. We ve waited for our mini pancakes for half an hour - that s unacceptable. The table was not very clean and had a dirty napkin on it and the prices seem to be too high compared to the size of the desserts. Definitely a nice place but after my last disappointing visit not sure I ll be visiting it again
A family friendly place to share, very tasty. You have to try the horchata frappe
I grew up in southwestern US. There was a Mexican woman who would walk around the neighbourhood selling amazing tamales. This place serves better tamales than that beautiful woman from my neighbourhood. SO GOOD!! If you like tamales, hit this place up!!!!!
Absolutely delicious ! Good quality, good prices, excellent costumer service... Edit: now the customer service is awful! I dont pretend back after gave it more some changes. Edit 2: send me a DM to get my feedback about customer service. Thanks
Rice pudding popsicles are very delicious.
I went for the first time and it was delicious! We ordered Horchata and it is definitely the best in all of Toronto! Excellent customer service, the girl I think her name is Aira was very patient and kind with my order! I will definitely go back!
The taste of magical Mexico in Toronto!!!
Cute little Mexican dessert cafe. If youve a sweet tooth make sure to visit it once. And ask them for recommendations, you wont be disappointed!
Such a great spot for treats! The service was very friendly. The marquesita I tried was delicious and I will definitely be back!
In our opinion, improve in all aspects. It could be a good business
Love it!
Amazing amazing drinks. Got the mango lemonade and the iced Horchata and highly recommend both. The mango lemonade is made with real mangoes and the horchata is so pretty and delicious. Will be going back and bringing friends.
Yummy. Try it.
Legit marquesitas! So good.
I didnt like the dorillocos, they were very simple, but everything else I tried was delicious
The guy who served yesterday and today (5:30 pm, Sep 04) has a bad attitude in customer service, hielitos Bits is characterized by having good costumer service, but this guy does not have the best attitude, it is not the first time that he serves me reluctantly, I saw how he served a glass of mixed fruits, poorly made and without serving the glass correctly, to which after 10 minutes without serving me, he clarified, it was formed, and I even asked him what flavors of shaved ice he had, but he, with no intention of serving, replied that he only had three flavors, and then attended to two people who arrived after me. I decided to leave the establishment. Dont allow yourself to lose the quality you had. One less customer, from a place that I really liked.
I love this place, the marquesitas, the esquites, the enchilada gummies, the chamoy and the palettes are the best Ive tried in Toronto I can say its my favorite place. I love this place, congratulations
Delicious palettes!! My favorite, watermelon with skwinkles, they have super original and delicious ideas! Its a very nice place to visit, I love it.
Tastiest popsicles ever tried!
The green tamales had nothing green in them, they were pure flour, the marquesita cheese tasted like pure refrigerator, the strawberries with cream are muto chantilli, theskite was a disappointment, they have declined a lot since February
The only place Ive been able to find marquesitas in the GTA, fantastic
Everything is super delicious, especially the esquites and the bread of the dead.
Excellent place
Everything is super good! We ordered equites, ice popsicles and some marquecitas, all delicious, my children were happy, we will return soon.
Very good food, but terrible service, they forgot my order and were upset when I asked for it again after 30 minutes, even though I was the only customer in the place.
The esquites were very good and tasted authentic as did the marquesita
Maybe put its only seasonal. Dont put its open on dates where its not.
New location! Mexican treats! Mexican flavours, raspados, chamoyadas, marquesitas, horchata y jamaica, mango con chamoy! Everything is very delicious, you should try it!
Great service & super tasty mexican treats. I totally recommend it!!
Wowwwww!!!!! With the new location and menu! Marquesitas (mexican dessert), conchas (sweet bread-pan dulce), horchata. They used to be a pop-up in Kensignton Market, but now They have a permanent location Authentic mexican flavours! Hisbiscus tea / Agua de Jamaica is so refreshing.
We had the Mango ChamoyPop with a lime and tamarind paleta and a Mexican coffee! It was DELICIOUS!!! I would recommend visiting, also the new renovations are really cute!
The products are good, but you have to come prepared to wait up to 25 minutes for a marquesita. Nothing is quick or easy. Come with time and lots of patience.
Everything was delicious! My kids loved it!
The staff were incredibly nice and great at explaining the menu. The treats were fantastic!! Highly recommend
Deliciously! Love it!
This wonderful little place is LEGIT!! I used to live in Mexico, and it is such a joy to find fresh paletas, delicious slushies, and bloody mango like they do there.
Was originally turned away for having medium to high value bills, not exactly the best first time visit. Tried a few items since I live a few doors down, a decent chunk of whats shown is not unavailable. Some of the items are pretty good, others very subtle in flavor. Know what to expect
Such a perfect place to come for Mexican treats and desserts! They went from a pop-up in Kensington to a full blown shop on Roncesvalles. Very large space and incredibly cute decor!
Great experience. The concha s were excellent !
My favorite palettes in Toronto! I hope to see the new location soon.
Cutest Mexican dessert shop! Youll love the colourful decor and art on the walls. Highly recommend the marquesitas; they were perfectly sweet and cheesy. Come here for a change of pace from the usual ice cream cone; its definitely worth it.
Cute decor, friendly staff, delicious treats.
LOVED IT .....so many options to chose from can wait to try them all
Visited this place on a hot Saturday afternoon completely unplanned while waiting for my bus when I saw their 2 for 1 promotion going on. It felt like a refreshing blessing :D For the price of 1 we enjoyed 2 Pineapple pops which had Pineapple+Mango fresh fruit slushy along with a choice of you fruit popsicle (Pineapple/Mango) with or without spice as you prefer. Very filling and, fresh. We sat down and enjoyed it thoroughly. The cafe is well decorated, cute and charming with very friendly staff to help you with your order. Would recommend to try it out, certainly wont disappoint :)
Overpriced paletas
Great authentic and delicious food
Delicious for the heat
Amazing! Love the atmosphere and aesthetic. Some of the best horchata Ive ever tried!
Delicious!! Visited Hielito Bits today for the first time and it was great!! Good variety of Mexican treats. Tried the mini pancakes, marquesitas and bloody mangos. So. Delicious. The bloody mangos were by far my favourite. 10/10 would recommend. Coming back for sure!
This place is amazing with there sweet and fruity Mexican treats. Great frozen treats
A great place to get Mexican treats! We ve visit a few times, and every time is better than the previous visit. Both sweet and savoury treats are delicious. Our favourites are the chamoy pop with cucumber popsicle and the marquesitas. This last visit I tried the new chicken marquesita and it was very yummy. Great customer service and ambiance in a very clean store. 100% recommended.
Very delicious yum yum yum
Delicious !!! This places have all kind of Mexican snacks the marquesitas are delicious!!!!!! You need to ask for the new season products. The places is gorgeous and if like art, you can bay illustrations
Lovely horchatas and agua frescas! The staff was also very helpful and patient when I asked questions about everything on the menu.
Super deli mega recommended!!!
The bread of the dead and the most delicious palettes in all of Toronto! Couldnt recommend this place enough! Everything is so delicious!
Long live Mexico!
I couldnt make it out to hielito all summer so I was really excited to swing by last week. Unfortunately I didnt have a great experience with my choice
We just visited this place and it was amazing! We ordered a marquesita, mini pancakes, a paleta de mango with chamomile and taking and mixed fruit! Everything tastes so goooooooood! A must try! Both of the ladies were so kind and polite. We will definitely come back!!
The Bloody Mango was yumm! Such a healthy and savory snack. The person who served us was also very sweet and nice.
The mango raspberry paleta was really good, mango slushie was okay. I would go back to try more strawberry based pops.
The chili/mango combo is good on paper, but the end result is a sickly sweet, syrup heavy concoction with a surprisingly dull flavour, then theres a lemonade popsicle put into it which takes up almost half of the cup. Portion size is *extremely* small for the price.
So delicious. Saw these on tiktok and had to try. The line was really long (because of all the hype) but the wait wasn t too bad and was well worth it. Perfect for a hot sunny day! Coming back for sure. Fresh and delicious and healthy!
Definitely worth the hype
Best way to refresh yourself! Everything is so fresh, made with real fruits. Top quality, amazing combinations and great service. You will not find better popsicles in town! 5+ stars.
Definitely worth the drive and wait. So refreshing So Mexican So Canadian #happysummerplace
I was excited to try mexican paletas as they are very refreshing and usually made with real fruit (with actual fruit bits). The paletas on slushies and pineapples are for the instagram photo only and very sweet. I later tried the lime paleta, and although it was very refreshing for a sunny day, it had no flavour. It was like eating an ice cube.
One of the most refreshing, delicious, drinks I have ever had. Filled with flavor. Im excited to try everything on their menu. I highly recommend this place.
I have been craving Mexican paletas since I moved to Toronto and found hielitobits!! The oreo paleta is delicious and the raspados with chamoy are the best to refresh during summer. If you also want to watch your figure then the piña loca is the best option: a pineapple with fruit and veggies with chamoy and Miguelito. Definitely recommend :)
I absolutely love these paletas! I ve tried chamoy, lemon, pina colada and a few others and they re all SUPER TASTY. Real Mexican flavours.
Definitely the worst palettas in Toronto. Maybe I had a bad batch but it was just super icy with no flavour at all.
Mango-Chile and Cucumber-Lime-Chile popsicles!! So good. Very refreshing on a hot day
It is a place that reminds you of a fur shop and a fruit stand with chili in the same place. It is Magical, thanks Ady Delgadillo!!
I had a mango chamoyada and my friend had jamaica with watermelon chamoyada and it was AMAZING. I m mexican and this tasted very authentic. Great for a sunny day. 11/10 recommend.
Had the chamoy pop with lime tamarind paleta and it was soooooo good. Peanuts on top were a fun crunchy topping.
Great flavours! Real Authentic Mexican treats!
Amazing flavours, 100% mexican! I love Hielito Bits
