We cycled 5 miles to the Cinnamon Bear Country Store in Harbour Town knowing we were cutting it…read morevery close to closing time... and rolled in with 5 minutes to spare Stepping inside felt like walking into an old-school sweet shop from another era. Tucked just steps from the historic harbour and the iconic red-and-white lighthouse, the place is packed with charm, nostalgia, sweets, and homemade ice cream. Still sweating from the ride, I scanned the flavours and landed on a split single scoop in a waffle cone: Rum & Raisin (my dad's favourite, so had to do it) and Rum Black Cherry. Both were excellent. Super smooth, creamy, and clearly really well made without being overly sweet. The staff were incredibly friendly and got all of us served quickly despite us arriving right before closing. We took our cones outside and sat in the classic red rocking chairs overlooking the harbour as the evening settled in. One of those simple holiday moments that just feels perfect. We'll defo be back

The Ice Cream Cone absolutely delivered. They had a huge selection of flavors, which made choosing…read moredifficult in the best possible way. The ones I picked knocked it out of the park. The texture and consistency of the ice cream were exactly what you want... thick, creamy, rich, and delicious. No icy shortcuts. No weird graininess. Just top-tier ice cream. I went with a chocolate-dipped cone, and it was the stuff dreams are made of. That crack of the chocolate shell followed by creamy ice cream underneath? Pure happiness. The only odd thing was that they charge a little extra for paying with a credit card, which feels a bit strange in 2026. But honestly? After tasting the ice cream, I'd probably pay the fee, a convenience charge, a processing charge, and a modest ice cream tax just to get my hands on another double scoop.

We were then able to sit on the deck and the ambiance was really nice - live music, right on the water, salty breeze.

I mixed it with Chocolate in a waffle cone and it was delicious. 1 scoop and you can choose two flavors, was more than enough for me. Like 2 scoops at most joints. My husband got the Toasted Coconut and he said as a self proclaimed Ice Cream Expert that it could be his #1Ever! So much so that I am admitting here only we went twice in one day it was that good. The second go around we both tried the banana pudding and it was Bonkers. So tasty, and not to sweet, huge pieces of soft vanilla cookies and just the right amount of banana. The service was quick (both times- don't judge me) and everyone was kind. Much better than any other spot in or around HH. I love that it's also family owned, always a plus for me. Can't wait for our next trip. That will be my first stop.

We were hoping to find a place in Hilton Head that had delicious homemade ice cream. This place had…read moregood mango sorbet, but the actual ice cream was just okay for most flavors. Some of the flavors we tried we would not have eaten so I am glad that they had samples. The base flavor of some of the ice cream seemed watery vs creamy and vanilla. The cookie dough and the Reese's peanut butter cup were the only ones I actually thought were decent out of the options I tried. I could see how some people love this place, but the ice cream was not for us. If I had to go back I would get mango sorbet and stay away from the ice cream. We thought perhaps they went for quantity (big scoops) over quality (I only liked 2 of the 7 flavors I tried - not all of these were samples, my husband ordered two scoops and our girls had ice cream too). They have tons of flavors so maybe we would have liked more if we had time to try more. The service was fine and the ambiance was pretty nice since we had excellent weather. Overall: definitely not worth the high cost, we would not go again.

But last night, on July 10, 2026, they were not. It was somewhat of an awkward, tourist trap like experience for me. I'm not sure I'm coming back at least for a few years. I won't belabor the points, but I feel robbed... - slow, disengaged workers (there for over an hour) - workers listening to AirPods - closed up early, walking around w drinks and closing blinds. - no waffle cones on a Friday night at prime time. I asked. They were not willing to make them either. - the scoops were so small, really small. Putting a value of it, I estimated for the amount and size I was paying about $35-$40 per pint. That is just too much. - the was a pregnant lady in the waffle area. I'm gonna give Kilwins the benefit of the doubt and say they were doing a kind gesture to a person in need. But it was an awkward atmosphere, very awkward, so I do wonder a bit at least. I love Kilwins. Hope they get their act together. But be aware.

Also chocolates available to try like barks and Dubai chocolate. As mentioned the lone guy working was working his hard! The store was not very clean. Tables and seats needed to be wiped off. But there was no time. He was waiting on people. I'd definitely go back. Note that this place is tuck back in a complex with lots of other businesses so it can be tricky to find.
