I was impressed with the variety of flavors and there were ample vegan options. Indeed, my banana split contained one sorbet, one non-dairy cream, and one conventional dairy ice cream. For the price, it was a monstrously sized dessert in today's economy, and I struggled to find room for any more meals thereafter. The peach sorbet hit a strong flavor note, and the non-dairy chocolate was smooth, but I could still tell the difference in complexity of flavor upon reaching the mint chip ice cream at the end. Devouring various toppings, I was left more than satisfied. The shop had only one person working and I was lucky to get in on the early end of a rush.

Next - the ice cream. I was happy the kids' cones weren't covered in sprinkles, but had a small amount for color. The soft-serve raspberry has me drooling every time I think of it - smooth, creamy and delicious flavor. My wife's strawberry didn't have anything fake about it, with nice pieces of fruit in it. I'm already looking forward to our next trip to the mountains - whenever it is!

This little independently owned shop has limited hours on limited days of the week, there nothing like an owner who opens when he wants to and serves up a great selection of novelties, this almost always ensure you'll get quality products and it also means you'll probably have to pay up a little although I found the moderate pricing to be reasonable. The menus are posted everywhere once you climb the flight of stairs to the porch level - like more traditional ice cream stands there's a ordering window and a pickup window this to me signifies this place can get pretty busy although today that wasn't the case, of course I arrived a few minutes after opening. This place seems to offer unlimited flavors of ice cream and as I reviewed all the postings the only distraction was a couple of teenage boys seating on the bench beside the railing - one was crunching on his cup full of ice while the other was sucking on lemons he retrieved from his empty cup of lemonade, both were a little annoying but I was here for ice cream so it's wasn't hard to ignore the ill-mannered children although they arrived here in a early 2000 mini truck that hadn't seen a car wash in months. We found a picnic table under a big oak tree that provided shade to enjoy our treat and far enough away from the ice cruncher and lemon sucker to relax and suck down our shakes, I was bound and determined to do a little straw sucking to get some payback but unfortunately the two departed before I got to the bottom of my cup. We ordered a Banana and North Carolina Peach Shake in separate cups of course the smooth ice cream was filled with freshly sliced bananas and delicious peaches that kept clogging up the straws (that's a great sign for me it reminded me of my childhood when you had to pull the straw and do a reverse slurp to clean the fruit from within). The owners were friendly but focused and the little windows only provided a small portal to the inside which I thought was rather comical - a hand appeared to take the payment then it appeared again to hand over the product. It was a great experience over-all and the shakes were delicious, this is definitely a gem in the mountain forrest and deserves a visit again and again when in the area...

In addition to ice cream they also offer chocolate and fudge by the piece or you can choose from prepackaged chocolate items as well. If you are craving something sweet, Kilwins is a great stop!

With 60+ flavors, my kids were almost overwhelmed by the number of choices here. I wish the ice cream, for multi-scoop orders, was served in a cup piled side-by-side, instead of one on top of the other. In this format, you could eat a little of each flavor you asked for anytime. As it is, you have to eat through the first scoop to get to your next scoop; I'm becoming such an ice cream snob that our family noticed and prefers side-by-side. Otherwise, prices and serving sizes were fair and service was fast. If you do a hike at Chimney Rock, this is an easy vote for yes!
