Great little shop near the Market in downtown Charleston. The customer service is good, friendly and welcoming gals working here! My husband loves fudge, so he loves to try some everywhere we travel and they have fun stores like this one. Great selection, we went for a dark chocolate half slice and a chocolate raspberry half slice. They were very well packed in a cute box with a wooden knife by the nice girl who helped us. The fudge is soft, fresh, smooth, tastes great! Stop by Kilwins if you visit and have a sweet tooth. It won't dissappoint! read more

During our roadtrip to Charleston we found out there was a Kilwins and had to stop! We ended up here both days we were in town. The first day a double scoop of Dulce De Leche in a waffle cup. The young lady working with the ice cream was really friendly and helpful with places to visit. The second day it was a bit more crowded but no where near the lines in Wilmington. We ordered the Chocolate Sea Salt Carmel & Dulce De Leche in a Waffle Cup. We weren't disappointed in either visit! read more

This place is amazing. Every time family comes to town we stop in for some of their amazing ice cream and snacks. The staff is amazing, they are fast, and friendly. I've been there when the line was to the door, within 10 minutes you usually have the treat you came to get. read more

Stumbled on this place while strolling through the French Quarter. One taste of their Georgia Peach ice cream and I know every flavor would delightful because they use real cream ingredients. I walked out with the Georgia Peach flavor and Cappuccino Chocolate Chip. It's so good but you must eat quick because it melts really fast! read more

Stopped in today with my two youngest kids, they both got ice cream cones, I passed. The ice cream was premium priced but loaded with fake colors which always seem to come with other ingredients I don't want to eat. Kim wins also sells a variety of chocolates and things like candy apples; $9 for a candy apple isn't "highway robbery", it's grand theft auto. And $9 for an ice cream cone that isn't all natural, locally sourced, etc. is equally egregious. Even making allowances for the location, Kilwin's is very pricey. For the money I would prefer to go to Off Track or Jeni's. J.Ja read more

We enjoyed our ice cream and also some velvety smooth chocolates and caramel corn that was loaded with assorted nuts. They also have a multitude of fudge flavors. Everything tasted freshly made. Worth a stop to satisfy your sweet tooth read more

I mean of course this place is great. Things I love: 1. Walking by and smelling the smells 2. Being able to watch them make stuff in real time like candied apples or fudge 3. Selection is phenomenal between choc covered Oreos, buckeyes, rice crispies, pretzels, etc Things I didn't love: 1. $$$$$$$$$ - pretty pricey but worth it (to a certain extent) 2. Service was meh but I think he was just shy! Bottom line is that you will likely find some sort of dessert to please anyone in your crowd!! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE KILWINS!!! Best spot on our honeymoon- s'mores ice cream is the absolute best ice cream I've ever had in my life and the mud fudge is the best! Definitely expensive fudge but mmm worth the splurge. They had fruit flies all over the fudge which wasn't appealing tho.....and some of the fudge was hard. Make sure you why a fresh one read more

Must try the dark chocolate sea salt caramel apple. A must grab everytime we go! The ice cream is also a good treat!

We are back in Charleston and had to see if Kilwin's was as good as I remembered it being and it was! This time I got to experience someone actually making the chocolates that are displayed in the beautiful glass cases. It's always a joy Charleston, made even sweeter by ice cream! read more

Such a great sweets place! We all had different flavor ice creams that were creamy and delicious. My husband's waffle cone did not fall apart like some other cones and ice cream went down to the end of the cone. The service was quick and friendly. They have all kinds of sweets including caramel apples and candies. They also have an area where you can see them making the sweets. read more

Sooooo I have to admit that during my previous experiences, I've left feeling like Kilwin's is good, but a little over rated. This was my first visit to this location and it was great! Kilwin's is one of the best places to indulge in sweets. There are an array items for the chocolate and nut lovers! Personally, I'm simply an ice cream kind of girl, but Kilwin's is much more than that. There are chocolate covered apples, fudge, toffee, brittle and more! They even have great hot chocolate. On this occasion, the kind employee asked what flavor I usually order and I told her "butter pecan." She suggested the New Orleans Pecan Praline and said it was "way better" than butter pecan so I gave it a shot. I was so glad I took her up on her suggestion. It was perfect. Very flavorful and creamy. The store was busy but the line moved fast. I will definitely be back. read more

Good spot in market street right across from the market. It's a bit over priced but it's due to then making the products there. You'll find fudge made in just about every flavor you can think of. Caramel apples are now in season here and that seems to be the hot item! My favorite item but it's a tad on the pricey side is the chocolate covered Oreos at $2.95 a piece PLUS tax! So yes over $3.00 when you are said and done. While I'll say it's pricey it's delicious enough to where I'll pay for it. It sure would be nice if they'd ran specials once in a while holidays would be great! You can smell the chocolate from about 1/4 mile away it's welcoming a great place to just enjoy your sweets and also enjoy a great cone of ice cream! Their ice cream is fresh and they have a big variety. read more

Trying to avoid ice cream chains I saw somebody walking with a cup of this goodness and the rest is history. Seriously though, when you're visiting any place I always recommend to taste local over chains because you get in on what more of the locals have grown up on. Now this is a little candy shop where you get to watch them make a few sweets with really old machines but they also had a huge ice cream selection. Which when we came in it seemed like everybody was there for their ice cream, which is always a good sign. The scoops were pretty big, now I can eat ice cream literally every single day and I ended up only going with one scoop, thankfully my eyes weren't bigger than my stomach because 2 scoops was massive. What I really loved here, especially being here for the first time is they allow customers to sample the flavors until you find the perfect flavor, even with a long line they made every customer was satisfied. Great customer service and flavors. read more

We love Kilwins. It's our go to place in any city they have a store. However in Charleston we gave our fudge and chocolates back because there were gnats in the food case and then roaches! I bet a gnat or two can get in but this is disgusting. A baby roach means more are hiding. Kilwins needs to make this right. read more

Every time we go downtown the magnet that is Kilwin's pulls us in. There are so many treats I wouldn't know where to start. Their peanut butter cups and chocolate covered marshmallows are a couple of my favorites. The staff is so friendly and helpful they deserve 5 stars all on their own. Definitely stop in. read more

Kilwins always does a good job. Large assortment of ice cream flavors, and they're happy to let you try them. Tons of other treats like chocolates and fudge to indulge in. It's a chain, so if you've been to one, you know what to expect. I had a limited eduction double berry pie ice cream cone and it hit the spot! read more

Stopped in while I was out enjoying the Market one afternoon to purchase some fudge. Spent $20 on fudge. I arrived home 30 minutes later to find the product crusty and hard like it'd been cut and sitting out all week. I ordered regular chocolate and raspberry chocolate and the two taste exactly the same. I watched the clerk grab the wedges from both respective logs that were labeled. So either the incorrect product was placed into the display case or the flavors need work. read more

The quality of their ice cream has gone down. I ordered a cup of chocolate peanut butter ice cream with hot fudge. I barely had any peanut butter in the ice cream and certainly couldn't taste it. The hot fudge was a joke ! She scraped the bottom to get a small amount that was cold and stale. It clearly had been sitting there all day. I ordered this and another cup for someone else around 5pm. For two cups of ice cream it was $12.85. Save your money and get grocery store ice cream. You'd be better off! read more

Ice cream -- chocolates. Find a Kilwin's and enjoy. If there's a line, be patient. It's well worth the wait!

When we visit Charleston we eat...a lot at a lot of places. We roam around. We graze. It is that kind of place. Good food, nifty architecture, interesting history, horse carriages clopping on the cobble stoned streets. Aromas galore. During the day and especially after dinner we find ourselves at Kilwin's, a Charleston institution since a year after I was born: 1947. They have lasted so long because they have the best selection of candy, chocolate, ice cream and other treats your mother warned you about eating...especially eating more than a little. Well, you are now adults, many of you with young children and grandchildren so you have permission, no...more of a duty to expose those youngster to the delights of sugar and cocoa. Wonderful caramel apples, a ton of different fudges, many traditional southern chocolate with caramel and with pecan nuts, like turtles and caramel (are you picking up a trend here?) coated popcorn and crisp brittle are regularly displayed in their glass counter cases. Amazingly, children who don't know just what these things are will tell you which of them they want you to buy for them. You will just love Kilwin's. read more

The ice cream and sweets were all really delicious. For sweets, I highly recommend their sea salt turtles and their caramel apples.

Walked in randomly after a big lunch. Don't have a huge sweet tooth but my buddies got a couple cookies and I figured why not I'll get a cookies n cream ice cream. One scoop but filled up entire cup for $5. Creamy, delicious, and cookies were evenly spread out in a sufficient amount. Definitely hit the spot, despite not being a huge sweets person. Will definitely venture in next time if I was in area. read more

Really wanted to try Jeni's while I was in Charleston but never got the chance to. Stopped by this Kilwin's with a group of girls instead since it was near our hotel. I had tried Kilwin's for the first time when I was on Hilton Head Island, and it had been amazing. The staff at this Kilwin's were very nice. I sampled the s'more flavor and the strawberry chunk flavor and both were really good. The staff at the Hilton Head Kilwin's had told us we could choose two flavors for a single scoop size (they'd do half size scoops of each), so we asked if we were able to do that here too, but unfortunately they said we'd have to order two scoops to get two flavors. I ended up going with the strawberry chunk in a regular cone and it was really good (creamy, chunks of strawberry that weren't hard and icy like ice cream with fruit chunks usually is), but would've been a nice combo with the s'more ice cream. The only other flavor I remember someone in our group getting was the toasted coconut flavor, which she absolutely loved. read more

Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge - A nice treat for a warm summer day! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

A most delicious spot to stop for dessert. Smells wafting out the door draw you in. Many treats to tempt you: chocolates, frozen yogurt, ice cream, and other things dipped in chocolate. It is a small store with 2 side isles. It is extremely confusing to figure out how to line up. After trying both sides, we were told to stay to the right side, as you enter, if you wanted to order anything. Then the line grew out the door. Fortunately, we were not too far back in the line so our wait was not very long. My husband got the chocolate ice cream, no surprise there, and I went with the Georgia peach. Be prepared to wait while people ask for samples before they make their final decision. read more

Ice cream was great! Unique flavors and great service. Only downside is no indoor seating.

If you are in Charleston and you don't stop here, you really missed the mark, unless you are diabetic or on a diet.. then it is probably a good idea to pass. The desserts here are amazing! The place is tiny, so seating is hard to get... on weekends, the later you come by, the less likely you will get a seat and will probably wait in line for your dessert and coffee.. Take a peek earlier in the day as you shop the market and see what they have.. they do these layer cakes that look like something your grandma would have made if your grandma was like an amazing baker who wanted you to be a fat kid! A friend took me here and I took my other friends, my mom and my sisters on different visits... The ice cream is TDF too, but I adore the pastries and the coffees were good too, you can also get drinks from the bar at this same location.. if you can get a little table inside, it is really cozy and reminds me of Angelina's Chocolate in Paris, FR read more

Love me some Kilwins. This shop does not disappoint. The worse thing about going here is parking. Worth the drive though. I am into the ice cream although there are other treats for anyone looking for a delish sweet tooth experience. Tasting is available if you can't make up your mind. I tend to get quart size ice cream to take home and a cone for the ride. Some flavors are seasonal and if you are wondering if there is a Kilwins close to you, read the napkin to discover other locations. Their waffle cones are fresh made and so yummy. I am all too happy to go downtown and indulge. read more

Great little ice cream shop. Lots of ice cream flavors to choose from, yummy fudge and candied apples. Good luck finding parking.

Absolutely amazing ice cream! Coming from an ice cream fanatic, I can say I have had my fair share. This place is definitely at the top. I always go back to the Marsh-mallow S'more flavor. They give good size portions, which I appreciate. In the heart of downtown Charleston, Kilwin's is a must visit! read more

This is the best option for desserts on Market St and the French Quarter Market. The staff there was super friendly and even though it was extremely busy we were out of there pretty quickly. Surprisingly it was cheaper than Ben & Jerry's and the ice cream was amazing! I got the praline & pecan ice cream in a waffle cone which was freshly made and served nice and warm. The single scoop with a waffle cone was $4.50 and enough to satisfy a big guy like myself. My wfie went with the children's size :) She also bought some fudge. She liked it but said it wasn't the best she's ever had though. There's no seating inside its more of a take-out. But the location calls for that anyways. Right outside they have a little bench and a few steps down there's a place where people can sit down and enjoy the scenery read more

Kilwin's on South Market Street in Charleston is a great place to get sweets. This has been one of my favorite places to go to for desserts for a great number of years from the ice cream to chocolates to many other choices. Kilwin's is great after a nice meal at a restaurant and a walk for dessert. This place knows how to bring a smile to my face as just the smells alone are worth the visit as you are overwhelmed with goodness as soon as you walk in. They are super consistent in the quality of their offerings and they always seem to be good. The staff here is very friendly and cool and know how to keep the line moving so even when it is at its busiest you can make your order and be out of there in no time at all. read more

Stopped by Kilwin's while visiting Charleston. Gotta say, their caramel apples were amazing and even better when they cut it for you! The ice cream to me was like regular ice cream so that didn't stand out to me. But they did have jaw breakers there that took me back to my childhood. If I'm ever back in Charleston, i'll be sure to drop by for more caramel apples. read more
