I kept seeing this ice cream chain all over the city, so I figured it had to be popular and decided to stop by when I walked past one of the locations. Before ordering, they offered me a free sample of one of their many fudge flavors, which was a nice touch. They also had a huge selection of chocolates and fudge bites, and honestly everything looked so tempting. But I had been craving ice cream, so I went with the chocolate fudge flavor. The ice cream itself was delicious. As a chocolate lover, it definitely hit the spot, rich, creamy, and full of chocolate flavor. The only thing that caught me off guard was the price. I ordered a regular cup, and it came out to over $12. I can understand paying that much for a loaded sundae with lots of toppings, but over $12 for a simple scoop of ice cream felt a bit steep. It was really good, but I'm not sure it was $12 good. I'm glad I tried it once, especially if you're a chocolate fan, but the price would probably make me think twice before coming back. read more

There's a reason they don't post their ice cream prices like pretty much every other ice cream shop -- because a single scoop of ice cream on a regular cone cost $11! They obviously do this purposely because they know the tourists they prey on are unlikely to turn around at the cashier. Ice cream was fine though. read more

There was a little bit of a wait in line. The ice cream was very good. It was creamy and the waffle cone was fresh. The price was higher than I expected but all in all I enjoyed my waffle sundae ice cream. read more

Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge - This couple was so cute. He had a bunch of gifts he was giving her. Making her close her eyes. Very sweet. But again good ice cream! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

One small scoop of ice cream, $10. This is ridiculous. And, I ordered two, cost more than my dinner just down the street.

I ordered some of the maple chocolates and these are amazing! So smooth and delicious. Small little candy / ice cream shop but quick service. It was very clean and smelled amazing inside. read more

Decent chocolate treats and an intresting store but i'm not joking when i say that the prices are insane. 17.00$ for cashews covered in chocolate and Carmel. 3 low priced ingredients for a small mid cookie that your child can make. read more

Delicious? YES! Creamy? YES! Nice variety? YES! Did I have to dip into my 401k to afford a single scoop? Also, YES!

We came on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy. They have lots of flavor options and I ended up getting an American berry pie flavor. The small cup is still filled with a lot of ice cream. It was super creamy and loved the berry flavor. Not a ton of seating inside but we were able to sit and eat. Great spot for ice cream in the summer! read more

Have plenty of ice cream flavors and the ones we tried were all pretty delicious. It certainly isn't worth the price given it wasn't mind blowing or anything. Service was great, staff was sweet, and place wasn't too busy on Sat afternoon read more

Tasty ice cream and picked up some treats for the family back home. Very pricey. Large selection but didn't buy as much as I would have due to exorbitant prices. Had a bit of an outdoor patio feel for seating with cast iron patio furniture. Staff wasn't super helpful or welcoming...just there. read more

Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge - Outside - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I called ahead looking for something similar to a pixie or turtle like a certain famous Chicago chocolate place makes. They told me they have a caramel pecan chocolate patty, large ones and small ones.. so we had a ride over hopped on the number three bus and hopped off at Jackson. I believe it was the same woman who answered the phone was there in person and we're very glad to find the options that were available to us for what we were looking for as a holiday gift ... the idea to compare a pixie from Fannie Mae with various places take on this classic combo as a host gift. So you opted for the half pound of the smaller, dark and milk chocolate options ... I snapped a couple pictures as reference. They have giant ones called Bear claws..smaller options as well. I'm happy to say we walked out of there with what we were looking for. We're glad we decided to call around the various chocolate shops to realize it not everyone makes this kind of delicious candy. ... I kept on wanting to say to the worker, "you have a sweet location here.. must be a fun job surrounded by ice cream dipped caramel apples." It was pretty slow today. read more

I stopped by this chain ice cream place and although it's not the best rated one in town, it was on the way that day. They do not have sample spoons, so that keeps the lines short, unfortunately you have to hopefully pick the right one on your first choice. I ordered a single scoop in 2 different cups, chocolate and chocolate coconut. I preferred the one with coconut of course. The total wasn't too bad at $13. I visited on a rainy day and was the only customer. It happened to be Lollapalooza weekend, so there were ton of Christian protesters right outside being annoying and sometimes even harassing passerbys. In summary, if you want decent ice cream close to millennium park. It's certainly a good option. But if you want the best in tue city, I'd probably go somewhere else. read more

I just love how it smells so delicious. Not a lot of options for ice cream so many delicious chocolate and caramel treats and they have seating. Watching the caramel apple being done is nice while you enjoy whatever treat you buy. Helpful staff and offered suggestions as gift overall great service might stop by again before I leave. read more

A few caramel apples, half of a pound of fudge, and a couple of ice cream cones, will run you about $50. It's not exactly cheap, but pretty average for chocolate shops. I usually love fudge, but the Maple Walnut fudge was really dry. It crumbled when I cut into it. The Turtle Fudge I could have eaten all night. But that dry fudge was a disappointment. Apples: It's why I was there to begin with. I rarely go to Kilwins, but every time I want a caramel apple, it's the first place I think of. They never disappoint. With a salted chocolate dipped caramel apple, a pecan turtle apple, and a basic caramel apple, I was pretty much set. At 900 cals an apple though, yikes. Go easy on those apples. Service is great. The shop is bright and clean. A solid choice. read more

The ice cream was amazingly delicious (food) so many flavors to select from, the service was swift, and the ambiance is tempting, you just feel like you want to try it all but this place can be a bit pricey if you're with more than two kids, just saying. It's worth it though. read more

Was treated so rude at Michigan ave location in Chicago in the afternoon. Was in Chicago from out of town and wanted to order toasted coconut , was told it was rock solid hard out of the freezer and impossible to scoop, 4 minutes later they had it out scooping it to other patrons. So disappointing they would not try to help us at all. Never again read more

I don't consider myself super old, but Kilwins makes me think of my child hood and my granny taking me to random sweet shops. I've only ever had their Superman ice cream, and it's delicious. They also get bonus points for carrying Superman. I gave the location 4 stars because they werent fully stocked when I visited. I wanted a Carmel apple as well and they were completely out. An employee has just started a new batch of Caramel to make them (yes, super fresh), but I didn't have time to wait. And I was disappointed they started making new once fully out. But hey maybe it's the way they operate. They product is great but the staff didn't seem "on it" If that makes any sense. FYI- it is a pricer scoop if you're used to baskin robbins pricing, but I feel it's worth it for the quality. This location also has outdoor seating for you to enjoy your treat. read more

Classic spot to ice cream that is open later. Liked that I could get an ice cream of my choosing with the hot fudge sunday other than vanilla. Big fan of the hot fudge sunday. Got the white chocolate rice krispie on a stick - was okay, nothing special. Bathrooms were out of order with nowhere to sanitize my hands which was disappointing. Service was fine, not too busy so was quick and easy. read more

Omg!!!! The fudge from Kilwins is sooooo good. I love the turtle and the chocolate fudge the best, but the maple and the peanut butter fudge come a close second. They have other very popular items such as caramel apples, bear claws, krispies and marshmallows. They also have icecream, which is a big win win! I usually take boxes of assorted fudges, but I also end up trying the bear claws, which are really delicious in my opinion. The service is fast and the staff of friendly. Recently, I've noticed the ambience dwindling. The place looks unkempt and far from tidy. The ambience definitely needs some attention, but otherwise, this is such a great store! read more

A quaint little sweet shop right across Grant Park and other Chicago touristy destinations. They have ice cream, chocolates, fudge, caramel apples, and more! Would definitely recommend stopping by for some ice cream on a warm day or if you wanted to take some sweets to save for later. .....

Seriously one of the most ooey-gooeyist caramel apples I have ever had. My family member said she would get one ALL the time since they are just that good and she was right, it took a good 30 minutes to get the clump of sticky caramel from sticking to my tooth. But it was so worth it! Service is meh but lots of candy choices and I fed off the caramel marshmallow for the next few days. Definitely worth a visit for hand made old fashioned like candies read more

Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge - the reflection of a kitchen in the window - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The ice cream was delicious. The girl who made our ice cream was very sweet. She asked if we wanted a cup to put my daughter's ice cream in because when she handled the ice cream to us it was dripping everywhere. I was grateful and said sure that's fine. We got to the counter to pay and the cashier charged us almost $8 dollars for an empty cup of nothing! Pretty much told us oh well we have to pay it. I was not expecting to be charged almost $8 dollars for a cup of nothing. I could see $1 or have been told we would be charged for an empty cup. But to be charged for what the ice cream itself would have been is crazy to me. Then I said well can we at least get the ice cream that should go in it then and he told me no that's how much it cost for the empty bowl. I would not go back here regardless of how great the ice cream is. read more

Very tasty ice cream and good service! My boys were very happy. My wife and I were happy too

This place is ridiculously expensive - even at boutique ice cream shops in SF where the cost of living is unobtainable, they don't charge you $7 for a single scoop (at least not yet lol). That being said, the caramel and chocolate treats here are divine. I opted to skip the ice cream because i was shook at the price. Instead, I got a few chocolate covered goodies including the marshmallow, the macadamia nut turtle, and some chocolate covered sea salt caramel. Honestly, I was pretty upset at myself for not ordering more once I had devoured all of my goodies. Next time, I'd probably get a caramel apple and double up on all things caramel here. It is a high quality, sticky, chewy, luxurious caramel. The marshmallow was also really good too - definitely not your standard bag of jet puffed or w/e they sell at the grocery store. Service was a bit mixed. We came in about 40-50 minutes before closing. One older guy, who was sweeping the floor, made it super clear he did NOT want to help us and gave purposefully unhelpful answers. It would be understandable if we were just milling about without asking for things but we were literally asking for goods to purchase! Meanwhile, the other younger guy noticed his co-worker being a buttcrack and offered to ring us up instead. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area. read more

This place has been around for as long as I can remember. I remember visiting as a kid and the thrill of getting ice cream here was almost too much to bare. Since it's definitely changed, but their caramel has not! On our most recent trip we got a s'mores ice cream malt and caramel. The malt was very good, but honestly seemed like something I could get from pretty much anywhere. The real delicacy was the caramel. I bought it on a Thursday, and the entire thing was gone by Friday ‍ If you're looking for a Chicago-foodie souvenir, I'd recommend going here. read more

This is my second time here. Oprah made this place more popular than before. When you walk into the establishment...you smell the waffles being made. The aroma smells sooo good. The chocolate is not sweet at all. They make their own chocolate. This was my first time trying their ice cream and waffle cone. The butter pecan was so good and the waffle bowl was just delicious. I really love their bear claw! It's full of nuts with the right chocolate and caramel to make it just right and not too sweet. Great place for treats! read more

Stopped in to try and get drinking chocolate for my sister. Unfortunately, they didn't have any but I still managed to leave with fudge. One slice will set you back a pretty hefty $12. But, that's downtown prices for you. The staff were both very nice and helpful and were happy to answer any questions that we had. Plus, it smelled amazingly of caramel in there as they were dipping apples, which was a great reprieve from the snowy cold outside. read more

Stopped here while checking out the pumpkins on navy pier! They have a good selection of stuff! We ended up getting fudge and some fudge to bring to our grandma. It took us a couple days to finish it and it stayed good for those days which was great. My dad also got some sorbet and enjoyed it! read more

For our afternoon, this was a perfect little chocolate shop with decadent ice cream flavors, a wide variety of chocolates, fudge, and caramel apples. There were many gluten-free options. Gluten-containing items are pretty obvious (items containing cookies, pretzels, etc.). My single scoop of ice cream was more than enough for me. It would fit well in a waffle cone, even though I had to do a dish. I got the turtle flavor and I tasted the kilwins tracks. I'd definitely get either flavor again. I thought the ice cream scoops were reasonably priced, but be warned that the milkshakes are $15. read more

We dipped in to get a treat and escape the rain. Immediately we were enveloped in the sweet aroma of baking waffle cones. Kilwins looks like a shop you'd find on Main St. in Disneyland without the crowd. It's cute, with pretty black and white tile and a crown molding ceiling tile. The server was very generous with his scooper! My son got blueberry waffle cone and my daughter got chocolate peanut butter. It was tasty! read more

The staff was very rude. I was reprimanded for taking a spoon. The one and only worker had her back was to us, while making a shake. The only other person continued to bag trash. 8 other people walked in ( 2 of which walked out). The man who reprimanded me, did nothing to help the solo worker. I thought perhaps they were closing soon. THEY WERE NOT. Easily another hour before they closed. After paying my $28 for a shake and double scoop of ice cream. I asked for a spoon. I was told no " they were almost out". What an awful experience! I've been here in the past. It was delightful. Seriously, unacceptable! read more

Ice cream was absolutely delicious! I stopped twice during my trip for some peanut butter and chocolate. Unfortunately, the smallest size is a very large portion which also allows them to charge more. I asked if I could purchase a smaller size cone and was told that she would make it smaller, but charge me the same. read more

We stopped into Kilwins while in Chicago for my wife's graduation on Saturday the 3rd of August. This place is walking distance to the Bean near by, a big time touristy spot. They have tons of stuff besides ice cream here. You can see from the outside window or once inside too some of their equipment used to make treats, cookies, caramel apples, etc. They sell other cakes, pastries, etc also. We got my wife, kids, & mother in law ice cream on this day, all enjoyed it a lot. This is a must if you visit Chicago and have a sweet tooth. read more

I got a single scoop of their sea-salt chocolate caramel in a nut & chocolate covered waffle cone. I was a little disappointed since I wanted their sprinkle & chocolate covered waffle cone, but they were out. It was 3 or 4 in the afternoon so I was surprised that they were out. Ice cream: I LOVE their sea-salt chocolate caramel ice cream. Very creamy and chocolate-y. It even had little chocolate caramel bits mixed into the ice cream. Waffle cone: tasty but not amazing Price: overpriced - my single scoop in the waffle cone was close to $9 Giving this place 4 stars because their ice cream was actually REALLY GOOD, but $9 for a single scoop seems a little overpriced. If you haven't tried it, I would recommend this place but just warning you that it can be a little pricey. read more
