I love Kilwins so much. It was hard to leave without pounds of goodies. The kid at the counter was so sweet. He greeted us right away and offered ice cream samples. I got the Madison Munch (I think that's what it was called) and it was perfect for the sunny day! Scoops here are also pretty affordable which is a plus. read more

Great ice cream even in cold weather. The one gripe I had was the price... it averages to around $7 per scoop and phew! That was a pretty penny. I really wanted ice cream so we went inside and it was delicious but darn did it hurt me a little when I saw the receipt. read more

I have been there on a weekend evening. The place was not too busy. There was good chocolate, fudge, candied apple etc. I decided to go with a 2 scoop ice cream. New Orleans praline pecans and macinack Island fudge were my 2 flavors. Both were good flavors. But I think these are not their best flavors. read more

Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge - Striped Caramel Krispie - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

We stopped in here this past weekend, as soon as you stop in you are surrounded by the smell of chocolate like a warm hug on a winters day! Kilwins is hands down the best chocolate shop in Madison! Located right on State Street, they have a great location to service all of Madison! I highly suggest their Carmel apples! We got one of their dark chocolate with sea salt Carmel apples and it was absolutely heavenly. Snag one to share and that will make any afternoon 10x better! I've already had several cravings since then! read more

Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge - Carmel Apples - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Kilwins is a popular regional chocolate shop, a more regional Rocky Mt Chocolate Factory in a lot of ways. The store has a homey decor that looks decent but still has that franchise feel detracting from a true local shop feel. They have a wide assortment of various chocolates and ice cream. The Toasted Coconut ice cream was refreshing and a somewhat unique flavor. read more

Stopped in for a butter pecan ice cream and had not 1 but 2 options to choose from! Super creamy and tasty! I didn't realize it until we got there that it's also a chocolate shop! So many options to choose from so will definitely have to stop by and try out the truffles that caught my eye. Friendly and fast service! read more

I've walked past this shop for years. Always mesmerized by its gusting A/C or delicious warmth and fudgey aromas. I finally gave into the craving and damn. It was good. I had this rice krispey thing covered in peanut butter and it was so good. My boyfriend has a giant dark chocolate peanut butter cup and dang it was good. They were like 4 dollars each and probably gave me 10 dollars worth of joy. Would recommend. But maybe in moderation LOL. read more

Amazing fudge and sweets! I recommend the original fudge highly! They're so kind you can get free samples if you're not sure which one you wanna get the peanut butter one was amazing as well read more

Got a couple of small bon bons, caramel apple with sea salt and milk chocolate, and ice cream. It is typical pricing so a bit expensive but delicious. Everything was decadent and rich in its flavors. The caramel apple can be sliced if wanted. Unfortunately, the area is all boarded up for safety but a few restaurants and stores are open. This one is a little hard to find if not looking for it. It is huge and does have some out door seating out front so look for that. Street parking is available a ways away. There are lots of passerby and foot traffic, so make sure to wear a mask. Would recommend and will be back in future. read more

Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge - Dessert! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

My weakness is this spot! Due to the prices, I'll treat myself maybe quarterly. It can be addicted because the selections are delicious. Comfort candy! Great spot to bring out of town visitors. Totally worth the drive from the west side. No parking except the street or garage. That part is annoying - for a quick in and out. Bad day or week, go for it. You won't regret it! read more

Don't get excited this place is overpriced and tastes like worthers originals. We spent $122 and wanted to bring home tasty souvenirs to our family. DISAPPOINTED 1) staff was more focused on my kids then getting all of our items 2) chocolate is literally jewel caliber 3) ice cream was tasteless and way over priced $6 for one scoop 4) missed items and told us to come back next day when they were closed read more

Kilwins brings so much joy :) to the state street area in Madison, WI thanks to their comforting delicious homemade sweet treats and their ice cream! They are right across from the well known Overture Center. They have everything from large delicious homemade caramel apples, fudge, hand crafted caramel corn/brittle, chocolate confections, & unique ice cream flavors that you can get with waffle cones! Every time my husband & I walk along state street we love making a stop at Kilwins! The amazing sweet aroma & delicious treats in the front window will draw you in!!! My husband's face lights up when he orders the homemade chocolate turtles and chocolate peanut butter dipped rice krispie treats! Kilwins is also a great place to buy gifts for people you know have a sweet tooth as they also have nicely packaged chocolate gift boxes and other already pre packaged treats!!! Their prices are not cheap but the sweets are high quality and hand crafted confections. Definitely check out Kilwins! We have always had friendly service and a great experience every time we wondered into Kilwins! read more

First time seeing this brand and learned they are in numerous States. Had the Madison mud flavor and it was pretty good. $5 for a single cone in a dish. Lots of flavors we haven't seen before; friendly service. We love trying ice creams everywhere we visit and Coneflower creamery in Omaha, NE is the best! Thank me later :) read more

I first tried a Kilwin's in Michigan. It was so good, they had a apple pie ice cream that was from outer space! It was so good I went back the next day for more and bought my aunt and uncle a big container of it. They didn't have it this time but the strawberry blueberry pie ice cream is crazy good too! The turtle pretzels are for fat people so I got some . On state street so you have to find parking. Good, friendly staff. I've not had anything bad here yet! Go here you'll love it. read more

I'm from California and one of my favorite things to do when I travel to to try local ice cream. Found this place via Yelp as I was walking around post flight. Not knowing what to order, I always the employee what they like. Toasted coconut was the winner. While the ice cream is much softer than I am used to, the flavor and texture was spot in. It seemed like every shred of coconut was dipped in chocolate. Could it really be? Very good. Wish I could stay longer to eat more! Did get a small chunk of the chocolate peanut butter fudge for the hubby. read more

Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge - Eat it quick! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Kilwins is the best sweet stop on State! One of their products elbows its way to the front of the pack in my mind but all treats are made with the finest ingredients and their in-store made caramel is something that needs to be experienced by all. If you ask me, you can never go wrong with a salty-sweet combination, so I am a sucker for the milk chocolate covered caramel apple with the sea salt flakes. *insert drool emoji* but they have LOTS to offer in their shop. An assortment of chocolates, fudge, truffles, ice cream, candies, gift boxes, caramel apples, and more! It would be hard to not find something for everyone. They even have premade boxes available to give as a last-minute gift. Their location is near the Orpheum theater and right around the corner from the State Street/Capital parking garage so is easy to locate. Free fudge samples are always available, and they keep their cases fully stocked and sweets fresh! I will not "apple"-ogize for stopping here every time I'm downtown! read more

Amazing ice cream!! The employees were super friendly and the flavors were incredible! If you're in the Madison area, make sure to come here for dessert read more

This gourmet shop is bursting with cuteness the minute you walk in! We primarily came here for the fudge based on recommendations from friends local to the area. We sampled the salted caramel and double dark chocolate fudge then purchased both. They just melt in your mouth! The caramel apples were also delicious and they cut them for you so it's easy to eat and share. I highly recommend picking up treats for yourself when visiting this cute shop. You won't be disappointed! read more

You can't walk past this store without smelling the inviting aroma of waffles & chocolates. I had to walk in and check the confections! As soon as you walk in, standing near the entrance is a person making waffle cones & the smell is amazing! Caramel apples will catch your eye as you continue to venture in. Then, boom! Fudge. All sorts of fudge! I ordered the salted caramel wedge - it's amazing! Ice cream can be found in the back of this small quaint store and instead getting a scoop I decided for a milkshake - best idea ever! If you're someone with a sweet tooth & fondness for ice cream & chocolates, stop in and check this place out! Enjoy! :) read more

Kilwins is absolutely the best Ice cream I've ever eaten. They have a wide selection of ice cream flavor choices, plus they have "in-shop made" fudge and candies. Wonderful, friendly personnel, too. read more

Great place for dessert, chocolate, peanut caramel apple, cake and ice cream. I had the raspberry sorbetto which was really good, nice and creamy. I liked that it wasn't too sweet, so i made a really good desert for me. read more

Stick to the chocolate skip the ice cream! Chocolate was decent but the ice cream was just ok! But overall nothing to brag about here!

I was told State Street was the place to go for local shops and restaurants so there I went! Along my walk the first shop was this place. The pictures along the storefront were inviting. Upon walking in, the wonderful smell of chocolates and caramels filled the air it was LOVE! I was looking for a lunch spot so I figured I would grab their popular caramel latte until I could find a good restaurant along my walk. I was NOT disappointed at all. The caramel latte was one of the best I've ever had. If you're ever in the area stop in for a caramel latte or even the ice cream is great!! read more

I come for the ice cream. I end up buying half the store. Okay. So KIlwins has nailed the art of enticing people into the shop. I bet half of their customers had no intention of stopping for dessert until they were lucky enough to peer into the glass windows that face out onto State St and expose tray upon tray of freshly dipped and decorated caramel apples and just-crafted chocolates. That's not to mention the ethereal smell of caramel and sugary goodness that wafts itself out onto the sidewalk and connivingly begs you to enter the shop. Wow. Now the caramel apples they serve up are anything but ordinary. I've seen glorious flavors such as a sea salted caramel...apple pie...peanut caramel...uh, one of each please. And aside from the always wonderful chocolates, toffees, and fudges, Kilwins has some mighty fine ice cream. I am admittedly hooked on the Cinnamon Crumb Cake. When you combine hefty doses of both cream and cinnamon and then intersperse crumb cake pieces throughout, you've got a cup of something resembling ice cream, but tasting much more like the best cinnamon roll ever. So preposterously good. Thank you Kilwins for feeding my addiction. read more

The window is your first taste of fudge, nuts and chocolate. As you pass the giant marble table right up front they were cooking a batch of white fudge, the smell was delicious. The long narrow store welcomes you with a long counter on caramel apples, turtles, chocolate covered everything and then eventually ice cream. We tried the ice cream- cinnamon cake swirl and pumpkin pie. Tasty, but not amazing. My 5 year old agreed.... next time we'll probably stick to the chocolate or fudge. Best part was seeing them pour out the giant cauldron of fudge on the table. read more

Kid in a candy store! Talk about thrilling! Name your favorite treat and they have it! The staff is very friendly and they offer samples as soon as you enter the door. There is a large glass case with dipped apples (chocolate, caramel, candies) as well as a separate glass case housing truffles, fudge, chocolate covered rice cereal treats, turtles, chocolate covered graham crackers, and chocolate bark. All of these can also come boxed. Ice cream: They do have ice cream, although we didn't try any ice cream on this visit. We chose to sample the sea salt caramel fudge (best!) and the coconut fudge. We bought some fudge and a few truffles to take back to our hotel. Really fun and relaxing way to round out dinner downtown. I highly recommend! read more

Couldn't be more pleased with the gal who helped me, I got three different kinds of caramel apples and let me tell you, it was amazing!!!! I just had the plain for today but plan on trying the rest the next couple of days! Even the young lady at the front explained what she was creating! Couldn't be happier! Thanks ladies! read more

So far, so good. Kilwins opened up about a month ago and I just got to check it out after walking by it a few times. First off, it smells delicious which you would expect from a place with so much fudge, candied apples and truffles. What caught my attention was the marzipans which even though no one can understand why, is really my favorite thing ever (alongside with coffee, lemon and sparkling water). The marzipan was not bad, European style, and only 95 cents a piece. I also tried a lot of their fudges and they were great although I'm not a fudge connoisseur. The truffles were good too. They also have ice cream which I didn't try, but for ice cream I would really just walk down to Chocolate Shoppe. read more

Jesus wants you to eat here... trust me! Always make a stop in when I fly in to Madison. Best fudge in my opinion. Not to sweet, just right. We use the State St. Parking garage and walk over. They offer short and long term parking. read more

Cute little confectionery at the start of State Street we came across while en rout to the university. Stopped in for one chocolate cone and one praline and caramel cone. Very rich flavors. Priced at nearly $5 for one scoop, I was a little alarmed but, what are you gonna do? Shrug*. They also sell chocolates, fudge and caramel apples. Samples are available to try. read more

Fav desert place in Madison. Chocolates are very affordable and extra yummy! Sometimes they even have chocolate covered strawberries...

This place is great and I was debating on whether to give this place a 4 star or 5 star. Not the fault of Kilwins but I probably gave it a 4 since I'm not too big of a sweets fan (though I indulge here and there). I needed something to bring my twin toddlers back in Sacramento since I was here for work for about a week. I heard rave reviews about this place from some coworkers and figured it was a good idea to check it out. The workers here are very friendly and have a great attitude. Not a big sweets person myself, I had lots of questions which the girl helping answered with a smile. She offered me samples of different fudges and even made recommendations on which ones she thought my toddlers would like. Also, when you buy 2 pieces of fudge you get 1 FREE! Free is always nice :) Lastly they boxed them up real nice in the sturdier box when she heard I would be travel back to California. (Now that's what you call service!) They also have a wide variety of sweets including ice cream, candy apples, you name it- they got it! I will definitely be back to pick up more goodies for the kiddos when I am in the area. read more

Sometimes, the Chief of Staff "NEEDS CHOCOLATE." Sometimes? Well really every day. So, it's useful to know where the best chocolate is wherever we visit. I think this may be the best chocolate in town. It's expensive, but very good quality, wide selection, service, cleanliness, and location. read more

Oh so yummy. Always have to get me a peanut butter drop when I go. The staff is always friendly. Wish the prices were lower so I could treat the kids more often but I guess it's probably a good thing for my waist line that it isn't. read more

I have walked by this place numerous times and never been inside until this week. I felt like I was in Candyland. Different kinds of caramel apples, good amount of ice cream flavors, fudge, etc. I wanted a caramel apple, but couldn't get myself to splurge on that steep price. I went for a scoop of the pumpkin pie on a sugar cone, yum!! You can't go wrong with ice cream. I also ordered a piece of the cookies and cream fudge, but it was extremely sweet for my liking. Very cute spot with friendly staff. I would definitely be back when I'm in the mood to splurge on some sweet treats. read more

Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge - Pumpkin pie! Yummm - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Staff is invariably friendly and everything I've tried has been delicious, but hoo-boy are the prices steep. On a recent stop four pieces of toffee came out at almost $9. I justified it by reminding myself that I am happy to pay $2 for a truffle so it's about the same prices for a piece of toffee, but I still had sticker shock. Also, they're a chain with over one hundred stores around the country - if they were a small local business the high prices would seem a bit more justifiable. You won't leave disappointed (I mean, have you walked by and smelled the delicious sweetness wafting out the door?!), but you will be quite a bit lighter in the wallet. read more
