I stopped by Kilwins earlier today. And the staff was super helpful! I was greeted right away and was offered to sample some of the fudge. I didn't stop by for the fudge but it was extremely delicious and tempting. I also got the S'more's Milkshake, and this is honestly in my top three milkshakes I've ever had in my entire life. And I get milkshakes ALL THE TIME. I'm also not from the area, and I mentioned that to the staff and I was given some recommendation to places I should go to. Overall it was a 10/10 experience! read more

7.99 for a single scoop on a sugar cone. If you don't want to pay outrageous prices I recommend going somewhere else for hand scooped ice cream. read more

Great ice cream location as a refuge from the heat. We love Kilwins and this particular location in downtown, Petoskey, is no exception. There is a larger store on down the street with free parking and a large parking lot but after shopping downtown this was the perfect place to stop for a refreshing treat. The ice cream scooper was pleasant. We are trying to eat through every selection. There is a nice table with 4 chairs in the back where we sat and enjoyed our ice cream w cream. read more

Once you enter the door, the smell of chocolate hits your nose! Kilwins offers all sorts of chocolate you can imagine. As we walked in they offered us some fudge samples. The employee giving samples was super nice and inviting. No tours available but they do offer glass views of chocolate making in the process. There are treats for everyone-chocolate, fudge, caramel covered apples, and ice cream. Great for family day adventures! read more

Kilwins is my favorite ice cream spot!! As soon as you walk through the door the smell of sweet chocolate hits your nose.

We love Kilwins and look forward to getting their chocolate toasted coconut ice cream when in Petoskey! We were in a week ago over Fourth of July. They were unbelievably busy but Heather, the manager that evening, handled the crowd with patient and professionalism! Another reason to love Kilwins! read more

Amazing ice cream and chocolate , how do you beat the factory. Fresh waffle cones home made butter pecan and service with a smile and fast

Kilwins is like if you could eat a chocolate smile. Heather and her team of chocolate ambassadors welcomed us into their delicious world of chocolate dipped everything. The ice cream scoopers we're knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and dealt samples like blackjack at confectionery casino. Back to Heather. She is a joyful human who prepared and sliced our apple, but her true skill is connecting and enjoying conversation with others! It's awesome to see people who are truly amazing in life! read more

There is no place on earth like Kilwins. There chocolate is divine, their ice cream is incredible and their coated apples are to die for. This location is HUGE! Go kilwins! read more

Ice cream was great. Location is nice. Very clean and organized. Overpriced just like everything else in Petoskey. Could have given slightly more ice cream for $7. Staff was very friendly. read more

We had never heard of this place but luckily when we were driving to our hotel we saw a huge tour bus by the entrance and I thought " whatever that place is, it must be special for a tour bus to go there"!! Boy, was that the truth! We have gone there two days in a row! Just walk through the entrance and inhale!!! It smells like chocolate heaven! We tried a few samples of fudge before we settled on three flavors! We bought milk chocolate covered "sea foam " which is like an airy brittle. So good! Both days we bought waffle ice cream cones. They make the waffle cones right there! They were still warm when they handed them to us. Only get one scoop but get two flavors! I'm pretty sure I'll have to buy the 10 pound chocolate bar to share with the family at Christmas!!! They have tours but we didn't do that this time. read more

Very tasty products but for the price we shouldn't find hair in our sweets. Very disappointed. There was good service but they did use their bare hands to grab the chocolates. No gloves. Overall very unsanitary experience. read more

I don't think this place gets enough recognition. Heather and Keaton helped us out while in the store. Both very friendly and knows a thing or two about customer service. This is what customer service was like 30 years ago. When you walk in the door, these two wonderful people greet you. They check in to see if they can help in any way. Truly an amazing experience! I will ALWAYS go out of my way to support excellent customer service and amazing products. I Will be back. Thank you again Heather and Keaton. Keep up the good work. read more

This Kilwins is a staple of P-town. This is a great stop to get some "Mackinac Island" Fudge. They sell a lot of it so it stays pretty fresh. They also have deals where if you buy a certain amount you get one slice free. They sometimes run out/don't have certain flavors though. Their other sweet treats are really good too. I rarely have a vacation in Northern MI without stopping in to a Kilwins for some goodies. read more

Wow, what a cool place to go. This is a growing Chocolate making company that originates from Petoskey. They give free tour guides, Dave was ours and he was great. We had a 4 & 2 year old and were asked if we wanted the accelerated tour, just thought it was cool they were thinking of us. The unaccelerated tour is 30 minutes and was a joy. The friendliness of everyone working there made it fun to be there and you get to learn about the company and some interesting facts. The ice cream was even in early spring (30 degrees outside) was phenomenal and you can only get it in there stores. For sure a great place to go in cold or hot weather. read more

Disappointing!!! Chocolate is very cheap tasting. Taste like Palmer Chocolate YUCK. I'll stick to Godiva, and the Chocolate Vault. Not worth the money. read more

Yum! We bought some peanut butter buckeyes while walking through town and they were soooo good! Nice and creamy peanut butter on the inside. I would have loved to have tried some of their fudge or ice cream, but I had just had lunch and decided for just a small treat. read more

While I really enjoy going to Kilwin's I had a great shock when a malt (one size) was over $10. I tried to find a price board ahead of time but there wasn't one. I think this place is getting a little out my price range. read more

I believe this Kilwins is located in downtown Petoskey...anywho, the ice cream was delicious and a little pricey ($9.70 for one scoop cup and a two scoop in a cup), but the employees weren't as friendly as the other shop owners around. I wish I would've gone to the Kilwins down the street, where they normally have the chocolate tours. read more

First of all, been coming here for several years and have had nothing but positive experiences. However today They wouldn't do two flavors in a single even though they have done that multiple times before. Not only did they not do that, but they were rude about it. I also wanted a to go ice cream and asked to keep it in the freezer while I walked around and the rude teenage employees told me they "didn't like to do that." Then I payed and she did not hand my change back to me but proceeded to throw it on the counter. Overall the teenage employees made me feel judged and not a good experience. considering unfollowing on instagram read more

The tour of the factory was great and included samples and a coupon to be used in the store. read more

Delicious chocolate! HUGE selection and friendly staff. We got some nice gifts for others as well as some sweets for ourselves. The dark chocolate covered Oreos are fabulous! I had the dark chocolate sea salt caramels as well. They were good, but I've had better. It was an enjoyable experience. read more

This was our first time visiting and as we circled the store to see what goodies were available, we were greeted at every counter by very friendly staff offering to help us. We were also looking for sugar free options for my father and one of the staff walked us to the section to assist. The selection was great and the items we purchased were delicious! I saw other reviews complaining about the prices but the product was worth what we paid. read more

Probably one of the highlights of our trip to Northern Michigan was the Kilwin factory. I say factory because I'm not sure what else to call this place. There was a free tour that was guided by a rather entertaining older gentleman who clearly loved what he was going in retirement. The smile never left his face as we donned booties and hairnets to start the adventure. It was cool to see chocolates being made and the smell...amazing! When we got done, we were given a small free sample to get us all talking about what we would buy and almost literally inhale before we got to the car. The fudge being made was done by caring staff, who would talk to you through the whole process and you could get a few slivers of sample fudge before you decided to buy anything. Of course, we bought several slices to take with us and we left with a lot to talk about on the rest of the trip. I suspect that we will go back there next time we're in the area just to sample some more and get our chocolate fix of fudge for the trip home. read more

Dark chocolate Sea Salt Caramels w/ assoc. salts. Hard to beat!

Great stuff. Staff Was friendly and helpful. Tour looked interesting.

We came for the ice cream. There were four in our group (2 adults & 2 teens) and we each had cones- the ice cream was good but the price was a sticker shock- $30! Maybe I should've asked how much it was before we ordered. Yikes. read more

We had an assortment of chocolate covered pretzels and two tubs of ice cream (Mackinaw Island Fudge and original Vanilla) from Kilwin's delivered for part of our dessert buffet at our wedding reception in Bay Harbor. Accommodating on short notice. Delicious!!! read more

Wide range of Ice cream flavors. I tried the Dulce de leche and salted caramel. Both were pretty good. Slightly on a pricy side - $5 for two small scoops. We wanted to take the tour but they are only offered during weekdays and we went on a Sunday. So a little disappointed. Nonetheless, the ice cream was pretty good. read more

We signed up for the free chocolate tour, so we were able to go back in the kitchen and see the candy making a bit closer. Tour guide was friendly and informative and tour was interesting, though somewhat shorter than the half hour on the sign (but it was free, so no complaints here). We each got a free sample at the end as well as a coupon. Couldn't resist picking up several treats on the way out...the goods are somewhat pricey, but that's expected when you're buying this sort of thing. Everything was delicious! Would come back when I had more money to buy gifts and such :) read more
