    Been to the Kilwins in Williamsburg before. On a off and on rainy Saturday evening we walk by the Kilwins in Willmington after dining on the River. Kilwins is half a block from the River. It's ambiance is that of a 1920's/30's candy store with ice cream and fudge counters. They have a range of ice cream and fudge flavors. We also brought delicious salt water taffy for that beach experience. The staff is very nice, patient, informative and polite, making a trip to Kilwins a very enjoyable experience.

    After our house cart ride, we stopped by Kilwins, and it turned out to be the perfect treat on a warm day! The shop has such a welcoming vibe, filled with the sweet aroma of freshly made chocolates, fudge, and candies . The staff was kind enough to let us sample some ice cream before choosing, which made the experience even more fun. We ended up going with pistachio and raspberry sorbet--both were absolutely delicious and refreshing! The pistachio was creamy and flavorful, while the sorbet was light and tangy, just what we needed in the heat. Beyond ice cream, the store also offers a wide variety of chocolates and confections, many of which seem to be made right there in-house. It's a great spot whether you're in the mood for a scoop, a sweet snack, or just to enjoy the cozy, old-fashioned candy shop atmosphere. Cheers!

    Sweet tooth's paradise-- we got ice cream, and fudge and the servers were so kind/patient to let use try a couple before choosing. Place was clean and service was fast and helpful. Overall felt like fun candy shop. Enjoyed our ice cream right on the boardwalk after picking fudge for later. Parking is annoying street parking but it's down town, it's all like that unfortunately.

    The weather was cold and this place was packed...you know that is a good sign. This is a sweet lovers paradise. They lliterally have everything from ice cream, to popcorn to any chocolate treat you can imagine. You can't help but be happy in here.

    The fudge section omg

    The place is amazing. Full stop. They have amazing selection of chocolate decadence lol. The fudge: Delicious. We LOVE the regular chocolate. But it's also equally good to the salted caramel, toasted coconut, chocolate peanut butter. Was not crazy for the maple walnut. The ice cream selection is vast though I didn't try it my younger son loved the blue fruity and devoured it. They make fresh waffle cones to order. The chocolate shop: if it can be dipped or covered in chocolate, it's there. Including a selection of caramel apples. The staff is patient, attentive and friendly. We watched them making fresh perils. The store smells AMAZING & walking by it you can't escape the scent of the place. You basically follow your nose in lol

    Absolutely THEE BEST ICE CREAM IVE EVER HAD! We were in Wilmington for three days and there wasn't a day that we didn't stop for ice cream. The staff was friendly and served everyone quickly. Our first visit was a Friday night and we walked right in; there wasn't a line or anything. Hubby said it's known for chocolate but he wanted the ice cream. I've never been an ice cream shop kinda girl because I feel like it's always overrated. After tasting their Ice cream I couldn't believe there wasn't a line. The second visit on Saturday night the line was wrapped around to the door. But after the initial taste that's what I expected. The line moved really quickly though. Third visit was on Sunday afternoon there wasn't a line. We throughly enjoyed everything about Kilwin's Ice Cream. Get the Dulce De Leche and Sea Salt Carmel on a waffle cone it'll change your life.

    We stopped by Kilwins in Wilmington and had an amazing experience! I got the old fashioned vanilla ice cream in a cone--it was incredibly creamy, rich, and had that classic flavor done just right. My wife got a scoop of the pistachio, and it was packed with real pistachio flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. The staff was friendly, the shop smelled like heaven with all the fudge and waffle cones, and the whole place had such a charming, nostalgic vibe. Definitely a must-visit if you're in downtown Wilmington!

    After a night on the river, my family and I stopped in for ice cream on a waffle cone. The portions were big, the ice cream was creamy, and the cone was home made. It is a popular place. It gets very busy. Most of the staff was smiles and pleasant. But it did seem rushed - makes sense I guess because they want to get people through. It is an in and out place, not a smell the roses place. Still fun for the family.

    Kilwins is always good, the kids love it. It's not my favorite ice cream - I think it's a little rich despite the flavor being a little bland, kind of a weird mix. I feel like "touristy" is the best description. However, my family loves it and for many of them it's their favorite ice cream.

    We were exploring the historic downtown area and noted a familiar store. We live and work in the Winston-Salem and Greensboro area and know there are Kilwins in both of these areas. It was a beautiful day and perfect for enjoying ice cream. We stopped in about 3:30 pm and began exploring the options. There are cases of assorted chocolates as well as prepackaged items. We each decided on ice cream and after trying a couple of samples, we made our selections. The ice cream flavors were ample and the ice cream was very good. We also noted the quality of the waffle cones was great. The prices are definitely on the higher end and we did think the one young lady helping us could have been friendlier.

The short description piqued my interest (I mean, come on already...chocolate and toffee? What's not to love?. As an unpaid servant to the gastronomic public, I forced myself to locate this place. It is in a small collection of shops off of Kerr Avenue, but finding it can be a bit difficult (especially for some of our local speed demons!). Google maps will get you there, however, and it is on your right as you enter the parking area between the two sets of stores. The photo I took shows what to look for and do look for it. Did I mention that they do samples? I meant to go in and speak with the owners, and maybe that was it. Of course, those who know me are laughing right now because y'all know my predilection for sweets. Purely in the interest of encouraging this business (veteran-owned), I did purchase a small bag of their dark chocolate toffee. Oh, the things I do for science and the community. Carolina Candy Company has other offerings other than candy from other Veteran-owned businesses, including hand-poured candles and soaps. Very interesting, but let's get back to the toffee! Rich, luscious, and all-too-soon gone flavor. The variety of toffee and barks will tempt the most diet-conscious person. The selections include a dark-chocolate toffee, dark-chocolate southern pecan toffee, and milk chocolate almond toffee. The barks (peppermint) I somehow did not sample. Please forgive this oversight, which I plan on correcting soon. All are decadent and probably the ruin of many a New Year's promises to avoid sweets. I went with the dark-chocolate toffee (this time) with a commitment to return (soon!) to savor the others as well. I'm all about equal treatment, you understand. Overall I would grade the service as 5/5 and the same for their toffees (I somehow managed to miss sampling the barks. I guess that means I have to return to make sure nothing is overlooked). You can order through their website (https://carolinacandy.com/shop/), but do go by and check them out.

This review, however, is just for the bakery, as we did not dine in. The bakery case was full of beautiful pastries and French goodies that I just did not know what to get. We settled on an Apple turnover, chocolate croissant, and 3 small raspberry filled donuts. The clerk boxed up our items and rang us up, but the change drawer was a little sparse, so she had difficulty making change for us. They had just opened, but the drawer was not full for the day. Just odd, but not that much of an issue. There are no photos here of the cases because of the signs posted inside not allowing photos or videos to be taken. You have to come in to get a look yourself, I guess, but you won't be disappointed. I'd like to try lunch or dinner, or maybe the high tea, because the menu has some wonderful items listed. The pastries were delicious and buttery, and not sweet. Just a great mouth feel when you take a bite. I will definitely be back for something else.

    When I lived downtown in Wilmington, Kilwins on Market Street was my go to spot for caramel and ice…read morecream, and I think it had been 15 years since I was in that shop. After a medical appointment in midtown Wilmington, I drove through The Point at Barclay because I've never been, and there was a Kilwins. I think my car automatically pulled into the parking space in front of the shop, so I considered it kismet. I wasn't in the shop more than a minute when a friendly clerk offered me samples. I indulged then ordered the peanut butter pie ice cream in a waffle bowl and sat outside. What a lovely outdoor space! And what MARVELOUSLY DELICIOUS ice cream! I went back in and did some shopping in the super clean and very well organized store. It was such a delightful Halloween experience that made me so happy. Despite my doctor's warnings, I will go back, perhaps not as often as I want to, but certainly everytime I am driving by and for each and every holiday because the festive, vintage like displays gave me the best Halloween vibes.

Everything was very good but just so pricey. The blueberry waffle cone ice cream would've been better if there were bigger pieces of blueberries, otherwise, I loved the creamy, rich, sweet taste of the ice cream and the tiny pieces of chocolate covered waffle cone pieces in the ice cream. Eating the ice cream in a waffle bowl made it easy and clean to eat on the car ride. The waffle bowl was fresh and crunchy. I can say nothing negative about the almond toffee crunch. Just perfect. It's a slab of buttery almond toffee bar covered with milk chocolate on both sides and topped with chopped almonds. The gummy bears were better than I thought. Just as good as Black Forest gummy bears. Soft and good fruity flavor. Lots of other various sweets were in the store like tons of different chocolates, popcorn, taffy, ice cream cakes, and to-go quart sized ice cream. Staff member that helped me was sweet and friendly.
