After a busy day at Gettysburg National Park, we checked into our B&B and discovered that, in Gettysburg, on a Friday night, even in late September, reservations were strongly suggested for the nicer venues. We tried walking around to various bars and cafes, but found...them uniformly crowded, noisy, lacking in any real sort of waiting area, requiring an extensive wait, and not particularly welcoming. Fortunately, we came across Kilwin’s Chocolates and Ice Cream which was virtually the opposite of all the above. The store was pleasant, the selection of ice cream and fudge extensive, the service prompt and amiable, and their ice cream very good. I would think quite a nice place at any time.More

Our experience was great. We where greeted as soon as we walked in and Tim took care of us from the beginning. He took his time and didn’t rush us and he was funny. After he rung us up he took the the time to...answer some of our questions and gave us a brief history on the store. We told him we where full and he said well a little secret about Kilwins ice cream is that it has a way of making you not feel full anymore. He said only Kilwins does that. Lol.More

Stopped in after dinner over the Memorial Day weekend - This kids enjoy a few scoops of ice cream as did I. The store was busy however they kept the line moving and had great service with a smile. We will surely be back and...you should try it out - great spot in the heart of Naptown.More

We stopped at Kilwins for an ice cream treat. The Mackinac Island fudge ice cream was delicious! Everything looked good. The price was somewhat high, but it was worth it. Nice!

A sweet shop you can smell from 3 stores away is one worth spending some time exploring. Fudge and chocolate dipped pretzels were being made on the left hand side as we walked in. Sampled a number of chocolate treats and brought a number of...boxes back home for friends and family. Did not try the ice cream - looked delicious but outdoor temps in the 30’s kept us away from the frozen treats. Definitely worth a visit - just get close and let your nose guide you in to Kilwins.More

There are many ice cream spots in Annapolis and Kilwins stands out because of its constant flavors. I love the rich chocolatey tastes! The staff are also really nice and helpful! It smells so good when you walk by as they make fudge, you’ve just...got to stop by which is how they get me. It’s a lot pricier than other ice creams stores in the area though.More

This is a very popular place. The ice cream is fantastic and very fresh and cold on a hot day. Too many items to list.

We have a couple of Kilwin's in NC, but my traveling companion had never seen one before. She very much enjoyed picking out a selection of treats to bring home to her young son. The variety of chocolates, fudge, ice cream and my personal favorite,...whole caramel apples for you with all sorts of variations (nuts, chocolate drizzle, etc.) is a wonder to behold, and it's all made in house. As is the case in every Kilwin's, there's an area where you can watch the fudge and other items being made, cut and decorated. For the previous reviewer who seemed to slight the store for what it offered ,,,, it's a CANDY and ICE CREAM store. You go there in search of so-called calorie bombs. It's an occasional treat. People are so strange. Anyhoo, pop in to Kilwin's for something sweet. You'll find something you love!More

I was excited to go to Kilwins based on the TripAdvisor reviews and pictures. I was not impressed once I got there. The service was quite chaotic. The line doesn't mean much: people who got in line later placed their order faster by grabbing staff...attention. The ice cream was average (maybe too sweet) and overpriced. You would gain a few pounds just by looking at the other desserts they were offering. Pretty good if you are looking for calorie bombs.More

Awesome ice cream in crispy fresh cone. Popcorn with nuts and caramel is incredibly fresh! Pricey, but worth every penny.

When we go to Annapolis, we have to step into Kilwins for some treats. They have many kinds of fudge, and we like the chocolate. We also got a little bag of Chocolate Covered Raisins. SOOO good. Nathan was great at the counter. He answered...any questions, and made sure we had all we wanted.More
