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.

I tried one scoop of the blueberry waffle cone ice cream in a waffle bowl ($6.99), almond toffee…read morecrunch ($35.99/lb), and gummy bears ($6.99 for 6oz). 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.

They are helpful. Prices are decent for a beach town. There's plenty of parking in their private lot. I'll be back and recommend.

The bartender at Olio was extremely friendly & attentive- also willing to give recommendations. The menu is super expansive & there's something for everyone. There's also plenty of NA options as well as beer, wine, and full liquor options. The prices here are SO refreshing. A $2 PBR?! I'm used to some other places charging you $5 for a beer that's meant to be cheap. The prices here are so fair & it's such a chill vibe to just relax and hang out with friends. Plenty of bar seating & even nearby picnic tables that are covered. There's a few table games to play and enjoy with others.

I only had a hour in this store before it closed. Not enough time to see everything, yet I had a pleasant time browsing items in this store. The store has a skeleton in a chair greeting you at the entrance and a meerkat as its symbol & mascot. A meerkat is a mongoose from South Africa. The lady at the shop was very kind and gave me a sticker of the shop. I saw on the sticker a meerkat dressed in Victorian clothing. Inside the store is an enchanting tea & coffee bar. After scanning the teas offered in the store to drink today, I wish I had sampled the DRAGON'S HOARD, SMOKY BLACK TEA they had. It has a blend of Black Tea, Lapsang Soushong Tea, Cocoa Nib, Allspice, Cinnamon, Cloves, Carob, Calendula, Cornflower, and Safflower. Lapsang Soushong tea is my favorite tea and has a unique smoky flavor. Very difficult to find and only in specialty high end grocery stores or teahouse places. I purchased two dragon bloodstones for $3 each before the store closed. The store's highlights: A tea & coffee bar with unique tea blends and a sitting area to drink & converse. It was the first time I ever saw and found a bone throwing divination kit for purchase in a store. It had a scan code beside it to learn how to use the bone kit as well. They offered small kits for $9.99 and large kits with an instruction book for $39.99. If you want a ready made divination kit, these are ideal. Most of the items in the store had scan codes to link you with information of the merchandise being sold. The store has an assortment of occult jewelry with Lilith sigils and rare occult symbols. I never see this in a metaphysical store. The bookshelves area has a LBGQT & Sex Magic section. Wild! The sticker with a meerkat - a great idea to give to store patrons and definitely makes the shop visit memorable with this unique memento. Kind & helpful customer service Madame Meerkat's Cabinet of Curiousities is the place to see if you want to have a one of a kind experience in a metaphysical store.

I like Pokemon 151 and got taught the other series I never opened that I wanted to buy but wanted certain characters. I even bought very low cost cards as I collect Lorcana and requested(if they could) to penny sleeve them all instead of putting them together in a pack and told them I'd pay extra. They accommodated me and only charged another 5$ which I expected it to be a lot more. I also love it as my S/O never felt harassed or looked down upon by being a female they were so excited to share stories and help find items and just loving the genre and hobby. I usually hate leaving their side because of harassment but I felt comfortable exploring while they have a good time talking and laughing to the employees! Also big thank you to the gentleman that had pony tail and glasses you were the one that answered the phone and helped us. I think Jeremy? You were super helpful and friendly so thank you!

They have cup options with toppings, everything looked fresh & clean. I love the idea of adding just a touch of flavor to a plain vanilla-twist (soft serve) cone, great little treat! This is not a 'gourmet' ice cream shop, just a quaint little soft-serve place on the boardwalk. And I appreciate not having to pay $8 for a little soft serve cone that had a great twist of flavor....was it 'epic'? no....but 'just right' ? Yesssssir. ;o)
