Helado Taiyaki PVD

Helado Taiyaki PVD is an ice cream destination located at 102 Dean Street in Providence’s Federal Hill neighborhood, specializing in uniquely shaped taiyaki cones—traditional Japanese fish-shaped pastries filled with Latin-inspired ice cream flavors and toppings. Originally founded as Helado Taiyaki known for its Japanese dessert with a Latin twist, the business was reinvigorated when new owner Valentina de la Cerda and her family took over in October 2024, expanding the concept to include a full café with house-made pastries, specialty lattes, and an avocado toast offering on signature croissants. The establishment actively engages with the community through creative workshops held on Saturdays, including events like “Tufting & Taiyaki,” where customers can learn new artistic skills while enjoying desserts.
