Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge - Dark Chocolate Buckeye - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Full of yummy treats. From chocolates, to ice cream, to caramel apples, and more. Service was quick and helpful as well. Store was well Maintained and very neat. My one issue was that I was disappointed in the chocolates. I've had Kilwins in other areas, and I found the chocolate to be not quite as tasty at this location. Something was a bit off in the flavor. Hoping it was just an off day. Anyway, the candy can be a little pricey, it's not like grabbing a candy bar from the grocery store, so be prepared. But when it's up To its usual standard, it's worth it. read more

Their Chocolate candies are old, and stale and just plain awfully gross , cheap quality chocolates !!!! Ice cream ok, but geeeeeze costs are RIDICULOUS! You can buy a gallon of premium ice cream at Publix for much less than a scoop and have several servings, plus tastes fresher. Kilwins used to be a favorite, now it's all corporate, cheap quality at ridiculously high prices. So disappointing, used to love the orange rinds they taste like the cheapest chocolate available covering cardboard shaped orange rounds read more

We were looking for small treats and found ourselves at Kilwins for a little icecream. But I will say, I was very tempted to go wild in the store and try a ton of other things. Good thing I wasn't too hungry or I would have spent a ton of $! :) The woman who waited on us was very friendly and allowed us to sample a few flavors we were on the fence about. They have plenty of options - something for everyone, I'm sure. I went with the salted caramel and thought it was very well done. Just a one scoop was plenty. The display of caramel apples, fudge, and other cadies was beautiful and they had someone making treats in the front part of the store, which was fun to take in the process. read more

Always great at Kilwin's! They are great about letting you sample. The associates are great about answering questions. We have visited several locations and this one was a little smaller but still had a great selection. Got fudge for later! read more

Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge - New Orleans Pecan Praline - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

We were downtown for a quick lunch and had never had Dubai chocolates so as chocolate fanatics this is one thing our annual French Broad chocolate lounge expedition hasn't included. So we indulged and we can see why folx are into them. Delish. But the real reason was one of us spotted a dark-chocolate caramel apple and having delayed Halloween having been abroad that was the real score. Pro-tip. Don't eat it in the car. Super fun staff and making chocolates in the window drew us in as fast as the Dubai chocolate sign. read more

The best ice cream I have ever had! You must try the Chocolate coconut! Must do while in Asheville

After a double dinner date, we planned to get some sweets and the girls got ice cream and the guys got large peanut butter cups. Lots of flavors of ice cream to choose from and heard the caramel apple options are very good. The peanut butter cup was great, but a lot of peanut butter filling. If you don't like peanut butter as much as me than you may be in for a larger than life pb experience. LOL read more

My family and I were visiting Asheville, and decided it would be nice to have some ice cream after lunch. After checking Yelp, we learned about Kilwins and decided to stop by.

I really like Kilwins and stop here everytime I am in Downtown Asheville. I like how they make the products in the store, sometimes while you are there but if not, the front window shows what they have been making. They give a sample of fudge when you enter and if you buy two slices a third is free. There are caramels, caramel apples, chocolates, marshmallows, popcorn, ice cream. The chocolates are not individually wrapped or even put in a box. What I ordered were all put together in plastic wrapper so were a melted glob by the time I got to them. It is disappointing as the chocolates are not cheap. I will stick to the fudge and ice cream at this Kilwins. The store has one table with two chairs so could use some more seating in the store. The waffle cones were really good. read more

We promised our kids a sweet treat if they could make it all the way through a long meal. We typically don't bribe them to be on their best behavior when eating delicious food. But new city and house, rough naps and me wanting to enjoy it, leads to desperate measures. I think they would have been fine. But why would I pass up my opportunity to get local ice cream!! We found Kilwins on Yelp and they were still open when we got done and were walking distance. The interior was similar to most upscale candy/ice cream shops you find. They also had that oh, so good smell and fomo of all the things I wasn't buying. I decided to get the mint chocolate chip. It is my favorite flavor and usually my litmus test for how good the ice cream is. Well.... as you can tell by my star rating, it was really good. The staff was quick and friendly and the price wasn't too bad for a fancy ice cream place. Highly recommend to check them out if you are looking for the things they have. read more

Four Salted Carmel's to-go, since I was waiting for my dinner for pick-up right next door. Two birds, one stone kinda thing! Kilwins make their own caramel in-house in big copper vats that are big enough to take a bath in. Ok, ok, so maybe just Japanese barrel tub size, but still, big. Naturally, their promo creamy, super addictive and definitely indulgent caramel candies are their clam to fame, but they also do A LOT of chocolate candies that are just as delish. And, just when you think you're in Candy Land Heaven, take a stroll to the back of the store and you'll see that Kilwins serves ice cream, TOO! Creamy, dreamy, comma inducing, you get the drift - basically Sweet Utopia! If your looking for the more traditional gift of local handmade chocolates that are tasty as fluff, Kilwins is an excellent choice! read more

Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge - a hand holding a chocolate fudge - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Very kind people working here! As soon as you walk in the door, one of the staff members will tell you to put hand sanitizer on and grab a mask if you don't already have one. I felt super safe here as far as COVID precautions go. The smell of this place is to die for! I wish I can keep that scent in my back pocket. It is like walking into Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. I told my husband we were just going to look but as soon as I got a waft of the chocolate - I just had to buy something. ... I bought 12 truffles. They were so good. I can't remember the flavor of each truffle but just know that you cannot go wrong with whichever flavor you choose. They have creamy delicious ice cream with lots of flavors to choose from! As well as delicious popcorn and lots of fudge!! If you have a sweet tooth like I do, I suggest this place. The staff is so kind that it will make you want to go back for more! :) read more

Family is staying across the street at the Haywood and what a great ice cream shop to have so close. Smells so incredible when you walk in and we had fast/friendly service. Our boys loved the scooped ice cream. We have mostly soft serve spots in our town. read more

Customer service: 5 stars: came in around 5pm on 09-30-18, we were greeted as soon as we walked in and we were also offered to try a sample of fudge. We sampled 3 icecream flavors and the lady helping us was very kind. Icecream: 5 stars: they always have good icecream. I was happy to see they had my favorite toasted coconut. All locations dont carry this flavor. They didnt have it in Charleston when I visited there 2 weeks ago. If you are a plain Jane of icecream you will love this place. I don't need all the bells and whistles just have good icecream and they have that unlike many creameries I've been to. Cleanliness: 5 stars: THEY DONT ALLOW DOGS IN HERE unlike ben and Jerry's around the corner. I like ben and Jerry's but once I saw 4 damn dogs in there I was like hell to the naaaah! People leave your damn dogs at home! Not everyone is dog lover, a lot of children are afraid of dogs, RESPECT THOSE WITH DOG ALLERGIES, and not everyone finds your fleabag adorable and clean. A dude had to get his limbs amputated in Wisconsin because his dog licked him, look it up in USA Today. And before any twit inboxes No they were not "service dogs" they belonged to hipster scum that wanted to show off muffin top the poodle new cut and dye job **rolls eyes** Price point: 3 stars: the place is steep! $10 for 2 cones is high way robbery but I paid it to be free of dogs licking, shaking, and scratching. The candies and fudge are pricey too but where else are you going to go and get this? Overall: the place is fun to visit and will satisfy the average sweet tooths craving from icecream to fudge to chocolate candies. As long as they carry toasted coconut icecream I will be a patron. read more

My friends and I ducked in to grab some ice cream and avoid the rain, and we were very happy with our decision! The store is conveniently in downtown Asheville so very close a bunch of other small shops and restaurants. There is ample street parking right outside. The displays are all super enticing with the fudge, candy apples, ice cream, and other treats. I had to restrict myself to just one scoop of ice cream. The workers were super nice and friendly even when my indecisive self asked to try a million different flavors. I ended up with the Georgia peach, which was both fruity and creamy at the same time. It sounds like a weird combination but it was really good! The prices are pretty steep as is usual for most dessert/chocolate/ice cream shops like this sadly but I think definitely worth it if you're craving something sweet and in the area! read more

Kilwins never disappoints! Came here after dinner for some ice cream and could smell the sweets from a few doors down. As we entered, the staff behind the counter offered customers free samples of fudge. I ordered the Asheville mud and caramel apple in a waffle cone. I usually never order waffle cones, but this one was crispy and yummy! read more

Love this place!! As soon as you open the door, the amazing smell hits you in the face! It's heavenly. We got ice cream to eat while we were there which was delicious, highly recommend the blueberry & s'mores ice creams. We got pretzel rods, coconut clusters, chocolate covered Oreos and fudge!! Everything was amazing. To finish it all off, the staff was so friendly the entire time! Very welcoming. Anytime we visit Asheville we stop here and always will! read more

All I got was a peanut carmel apple, but it was so delicious and fresh I could not help but leave a review. The display from the window is what really enticed me and there was no stopping me then. I would definitely stop here for some more sweets anytime. read more

Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

If you've been to a touristy section of a mountain town like Morganton, Boone or Asheville, you've probably heard of, or been to, a Kilwin's. If you haven't, it's a homemade candy and ice cream franchise based out of Northern Michigan. The standards at Kilwin's are high and they serve "the good stuff". The stores have that old time retro feel. The employees at this location are energetic and "Johnny on the spot". Even if you're not really hungry, the incredible smell will make you want something anyway. While we were there, they were heating up caramel and getting apples ready to dip! Nice!! Even better, their prices, at least on ice cream, are very reasonable! read more

They opened promptly at 11am. There was a line patiently waiting in the rain and cold that's how good it is. Omg the staff were so friendly. My pecan Carmel apple was so good. They make the treats in the store front window and that drew the crowd. read more

This place is awesome! They are very friendly and generous with the free samples. The fudge was great! I loved the key lime pie, cherry, and cinnamon ice cream. The ice cream was rich and had delicious flavors. The waffle cone was superb. It was among the freshest I've had and had great flavors. The tshirt with the ice cream cones on it was cool looking so I picked one up! Just finished the bag of peanut corn. The combination of peanut, popcorn, and candy coating was awesome! I'm thinking maybe Cracker Jack tasted this good minutes after it was made... But that's just nostalgia clouding my thinking. I loved Cracker Jack as a kid but it was never this good. read more

The ice cream was phenomenal. I got cookies and cream and my girlfriend got the s'mores. However, could not give 5 stars as the man serving our ice cream was very curt and rude. read more

Can you resist the aroma of fudge or waffle cones? If your nose does not draw you in, your eyes will! They display a delicious assortment of treats in the front window (I.e., carmelized apples, fudge). Plus it is fun to watch them make the fudge. The employees are very friendly! They are more than eager to give you a sample of freshly made fudge or ice cream. This is a great place to go after dinner...or maybe even before. Enjoy the sweets! read more

Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge - Sweet! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

As soon as I walked in the door I was greeted. I love that! Immediately after, I was asked if I wanted to try some fudge. I tried the sea salt caramel and dark chocolate fudge. Delish! Walked over to the ice cream. Tried several flavors and settled on the marshmallow and chocolate and a half scoop of chocolate chip in a waffle cone. I only wanted a small amount because I haven't had sugar sugar in a while. She gave me too much. But I ain't mad at her. I'm sure she just wanted me to get my money's worth and I appreciate that. My dude finished the rest, there was a lot left too. I walked away with the ice cream, a few chocolate covered pretzels sticks and a treat for my mother. I know there's one in Huntersville, so the next time I need a little sugar fix, I'll head on over to that location. read more

Ice cream was delicious! The line was long every time we passed by. We decided to try it out and the line was long, BUT, the efficiency of the staff sped things along and we were quickly served. Samples were graciously offered. Your server approaches you while in line and is with you through the scooping to the cash register. Again, very efficient. Everywhere you walk in Blowing Rock, people are enjoying Kilwin's ice cream! read more

Usually we get some candy from a Shoppe and about 50-75% of it is good and the rest is so so or not good. Not so with Kilwin's!!! They hit it out of the park!! We tried the peanut popcorn (holy smokes was this stuff good), the sour gummies (usually these things feel like a rip off but they were so good!) and chocolate covered marshmallows. It was all so good that when we returned from Asheville we found a Kilwin's shop near home to go to. I think this will become our special treat go-to place!! After our visit in our hometown we learned that there's a bit of a premium charged in Asheville. The same bag of gummies was $2.99 at home and in Asheville sold for $4.50. 50% up charge!! Still yummy though! You won't regret it either way! read more

Never disappointed! Always go to Kilwins when we visit Asheville NC. There pecan pralines are to dye for and ice cream!

The ice cream is very rich. I ordered a chocolate shake and could only finish half. The chocolates are just OK. A little bland and not very melty. The fudge is terrible. read more

Really friendly staff... offering free samples right when you walk in the door. Smells like heaven inside this place! read more

Been to many Kilwin's around the country! This store was very small comparable to others! Staff was very friendly, quick and efficient. I'm not a real big fan of the fudge it always seems a little grainy. I was very impressed that they had Buckeye's, this is an Ohio chocolate filled with peanut butter. I've never seen it outside the state. Apparently a customer came in one day and asked for it, they made it and ever since, been carrying it and its one of the best sellers, go figure. read more

I didn't realize this was a national franchise, founded in Michigan, I think? You might remember this Asheville Kilwin's because a couple years back Austin Scarlett and Santino Rice of Project Runway fame blew through town and made the owner and the owner's daughter cute pink dresses as part of a short-lived spinoff series focusing on small towns/real people. Anyways, this shop is definitely part of the community. People like Kilwin's around here. That pink dress is the stuff of legend, too. I went in there last week with a friend who likes candy a lot (I don't, particularly). I got persuaded to try some of their product, and I gotta say, they're dang good confectioners. I had a caramel coated marshmallow. No complaints at all. It was a great experience. Lots of fun, great counter staff, delicious. Closest parking deck to this establishment is Wall Street garage. The shop itself is right next to Chai Pani on Battery Park Ave. read more
