Dog Cafe Near Me in Wynwood: Cielito Artisan Pops and $4 PUPsicles

Cielito Artisan Pops sells a frozen treat made for dogs: the PUPsicle, $4 each, in Peanut Butter Banana, Watermelon, and Yogurt and Berries. The family-run shop sits in the Wynwood Building at 2750 NW 3rd Ave, Suite 20A, makes every pop in its own back kitchen, and its website says it is perfect for any pet owner because dog-friendly pops are offered. For a dog cafe near me search in Wynwood, the dessert stop comes with a dog's own order.

The dog pops are not an afterthought on the menu. The website describes its Doggy Pops as the perfect frozen dog treat, made with fresh fruits and sweetened with honey. The Yogurt and Berries PUPsicle is made in-house with fresh yogurt and fresh berries, and the online listing states plainly that no dog food is added. On a 90-degree Wynwood afternoon, a frozen treat is a better reward for a dog than a crunchy biscuit.

Getting there is straightforward once you know the building. The Wynwood Building is the large building at 2750 NW 3rd Avenue, and Cielito's shop was the first one the owners opened, in August 2017, according to its locations page. The address on the shop's own ordering system is Suite 20A. Pickup orders are handed over at the front door.

The pops for people are the main business. The Guava and Cheese pop, $6.90, is the Miami classic turned into a frozen bar. The Mamey pop, $5.90, uses the tropical fruit that shows up in Cuban batidos across the city. The Key Lime Pie pop is $6.90, and the most elaborate flavor, Passion Fruit filled with Brigadeiro, costs $8.90 and hides a Brazilian chocolate fudge center inside a tart fruit shell.

Cielito says it rotates more than 46 flavors and makes each pop by hand in small batches with locally sourced ingredients. The creamy pops are made with fresh milk, cream, egg yolks and cane sugar from a family custard recipe the shop pasteurizes in house, and the vegan pops use an oat milk and cashew milk base made on site. That range means a mixed group, including someone avoiding dairy, can all order at one counter.

The seating suits a short stop with a dog. The homepage describes a family-friendly ambiance with indoor and outdoor seating and a fun, artistic feel, which fits the neighborhood around it. Take an outside seat with the dog and let one person go in to order. The shop does not publish written rules about dogs indoors, so the outdoor seats are the safe default for a leashed dog.

Timing works in favor of evening walkers. According to the shop's Square ordering page, the Wynwood store opens at noon every day and stays open until 9 pm Monday through Thursday, 11 pm on Friday and Saturday, and 10 pm on Sunday. There are no morning hours, so this is an afternoon or after-dinner stop. Early evening, once the pavement starts to cool, is kinder to paws than midafternoon.

Pickup orders through the shop's ordering page have a $15 minimum, which rules out ordering a single PUPsicle ahead. The workaround is easy: add a pop for yourself and a second dog treat, or simply walk in and order at the counter. The same ordering page offers local delivery, which is useful when the dog has had enough sun for one day.

The shop belongs to a husband and wife. Cielito's About page says it was founded in Wynwood in 2017 as a family-run business and is signed by Sindy and Ivan. Co-owner Sindy Posso wanted her first shop in Wynwood because the neighborhood was the right backdrop to combine her background in architecture with art and food, and she grew up in Colombia surrounded by a family of bakers.

That background explains the flavor list, which mixes Latin American fruit with American desserts. The menu also extends past pops: the Wynwood ordering page lists handcrafted chocolate bonbons, with a box of 6 at $24 and a box of 12 at $45. The bonbons are for people only. Keep chocolate well away from the dog, and stick to the PUPsicles for anything you share.

The crowd is a Wynwood mix. The shop pitches itself to families, to anyone who likes the artistic side of the neighborhood, and to pet owners, and all three show up at the freezer case. With a big dog, a quiet weekday evening is easier than a Saturday night, when the neighborhood fills up and the late 11 pm closing brings a steady line.

For a proper walk, Moore Park at 765 NW 36th St is under a mile north of the shop. The City of Miami says dogs are allowed on a leash everywhere except the stadium track and the field turf area. The park is open 6 am to 10 pm on weekdays and 9 am to 7 pm on weekends, so a weekday evening walk followed by a PUPsicle fits neatly into both schedules.

Practical notes: Cielito Artisan Pops is at 2750 NW 3rd Ave, Suite 20A, Miami, FL 33127, inside the Wynwood Building. Cielito also lists other Miami locations, including Aventura Mall and 200 E Flagler St downtown, but this guide is about the Wynwood original, which is the one with the back kitchen and the outdoor seats.

Cielito suits dog owners exploring Wynwood on foot, families who want a fruit pop instead of a heavy dessert, and anyone curious about mamey or guava in frozen form. It is not a coffee shop, and there is no morning service. For a $4 PUPsicle for the dog and a $6.90 guava and cheese pop for you in the heart of Wynwood, though, it is hard to beat.
