According to their website " Cielito offers hand crafted high-end frozen treats, that might have the shape of a popsicle, but they are something else". Cielito gets its inspiration from co owner Sindy Posso's grandmother's bakery located in San Juan. Posso is an architect by trade but she grew up in Colombia in a family of bakers. .
Cielito has a fanciful and unique selection of popsicles also known as paletas for people and even their pups too. The pops do not contain preservatives, GMO's, artificial flavors or colors, or high fructose corn syrup. This is their original location in in Wynwood that opened in the summer of 2017. Pay parking is available on the street. Because it is in Wynwood they are located in an artsy painted black and white building. The also opened a location in Mizner Park in Boca last summer which I have previously tried.
When you walk in, a refrigerator case showcases popsicles in every hue and flavor. They have dozens of flavor daily, including seasonal flavors and vegan options. Some of the unusual flavors for sale were ginger mint, pineapple and starfruit pomegranate, tamarind, hibiscus flower, tres leches, and salted caramel with crushed pretzels.
Once you pick your flavor from fruit, caramel, chocolate, and vanilla options, you can add a dip, and up to three toppings. A basic pop is $5.50, a filled or special pop is $6.50, a chocolate bath is $1.20, and toppings are 70 cents. It is easy to get to a $10 pop. A Yelp check in nets you a free chocolate bath. They are expensive but everything is high quality. Once your creation is crafted it is presented to you in a gold lined box.
After intense scrutiny the coconut pineapple popsicle called to me ($5.50). Pricey but worth it. You can't buy popsicles like this in the freezer section of the grocery store. The flavors literally sing in your mouth.
In addition to pops, Cielito also also serves coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. The store is decorated with shelves of beautiful artisan made crafts that you can purchase. Items for sale included stuffed animals, candles, pins, stools, and popsicle wall art.
This place was is made for Instagram. Delicious pops that are served in a cool and artsy setting. You can't go wrong with a cool treat like a popsicle in Florida's brutal heat. I am so glad I had the chance to stop in and try out the...
Read moreCielito Artisan pops for me already became a landmark for Wynwood lol!! Every single time I come here people are in awe of their "paletas" and their cool decor since they also sell earrings and other interesting artwork. This sometimes can get annoying for me. Last time we went they had the hurricane sale and they where somewhat busy, they annoying part was that there was a group of people in front of us taking way too long to make their decision, dude honestly they where not even trying!! They were taking photos of every single Popsicle and there were five of then and once they made up their mind they took more pictures with the Popsicle that wasn't even paid for. So mind you we waited of over twenty minutes for them to make a decision and have their photo shoot to be able to other. Now do not get me wrong the staff was amazingly friendly with them and had so much patience but there was two staff members taking care of that group of people and I would have loved for one of them to take care of us that knew instantly what we wanted.
Other than that experience every order has been magnificent I think their staff is really well trained and mannered and for that I commend the owners.
As far as their paletas do not make the mistake go go around to their competitors because they will lose jn a heartbeat. You will not find the wide selection they offer here nor the flavors of their unique toppings. So don't be bobo and come...
