    Got the caramel apple with peanuts. Total was about 10-11 bucks. Typical price for tourist area. Worth the smile on the face though. Lots of other pricey chocolate item and ice cream. Staff are nice. You can walk around the pier or while eating your snacks. Or they have lots of tables to hang out inside to chill.

    I scream for ice cream! When I saw Kilwins at Navy Pier, I immediately went inside and looked for what flavors were available. I already knew Kilwins from a different time from different city before, so I knew they have delicious ice cream. I really like caramel ice cream, so that's what I got. And it was delicious! They also had fudge, and different types of candy apples, and some other chocolate candies. Employees were attentive, asking if I needed anything and offered answering my questions. The shop doesn't have tables or chairs but outside you can find plenty of sitting places. I love good ice cream!

    Very long lines, the aroma from this place is what had me go in to buy ice cream. Ice cream amazing.

    On a usually for Chicago hot fall day, I absolutely had to stop for gelato. It was too inviting and the queue outside seemed a testimonial of quality. I had a nice big scoop of chocolate with roasted (or was it toasted?) coconut and sitting on the bench outside overlooking the lake I enjoyed every spoon. I think it will taste just as good in a cold winter day. An absolute must try on your walk on the pier!

    Small size!

    Service was terrible, and rude. I asked for a kiddy size and they got me a small for $9! Extremely overpriced, especially since the ice cream wasn't even that good and was really stretchy. Bad ice cream for a terrible price.

    Whew Chile! It's a lot going on here! First off, this is probably some of the best I've cream I've had in my life. The CEO must know it too.... The prices really make you question life. Like how can this be? $7 single scoops and $13 sundaes? OUTRAGEOUS!!! The line is ALWAYS long, but it moves fairly quickly. Count on a 10-15 min wait. The employees aren't overly friendly...not rude, but you can tell they'd rather be elsewhere. I went 2 days on a row because I was staying on the pier and the ice cream is just damned good! Both times they were out of something someone in my party ordered so that's a fail. I know inflation is real, but if they came down a bit on the cost, I'd be a fan for life!

    August 6, 2023 located in the heart of Navy Pier in the food court. After having lunch we decided to get some ice cream after passing by. Got a cone of Kilwins track and Georgia peach flavor. Both were good. Staff is nice, service was good, and place was clean. They also sell chocolates, caramel apples, and cookies. Happy eats!!

    The store has nice layout but very unprofessional. I can't say it's all the employees fault because the store is ran by kids. I drove about 35 minutes to this location to get taffy apples for my little sister to be disappointed by the lack of leadership which lead to a return that could not be processed because " mom was not in". The young lady who was over the store, the errors I observed like rolling eyes, or sighing when my sister wanted to pick out the type of apple and cutting the apple un proportionally could be overlooked but I had concerns when it was time to process my return, I had to call back on 3 separate occasions on 3 different days because "mom was not in. " I will commend the young lady tried her best within her scope to salvage the issue of refunding the apples. The reason for my return was due to the fruit itself was not sweet. Since the apples were like 15 a piece, we wanted good quality since we didn't buy at the grocery store . Therefore we decided to return . The young lady did offer us the option to get something else but since our purchase was specifically for apples ,I requested a refund. If the service was exceptional it would've left such a lasting impression we prob would've kept the apple just to support once we learned it was a black owned business. I'm leaving a review as every business owner especially being black owned takes pride in running their business & wants to ensure it's ran well that exceeds expectations . Also as a small businesses owner, even with multiple locations you take pride in delivering a service hat builds rapport and long term associations with high quality of service, even if a competitor is cheaper, near and more convenient you're choosing to go to a business due to wow experience, magic moments which demonstrates shared values & objectives that money can't buy. High quality service can't be bought . So I hope the owner "mom" sees this so she can get the right leadership , training and direction needed for the success of the guided development of her successors character, personal and professional development. More Grace & Much Favor !

    I agree with the other reviews: Generally great stuff, but marked up quite a bit for Navy Pier, I think it's less at other locations, but this is standard for the Pier. The amount of ice cream in a double waffle cone was generous at least, staff were nice a minimally communicative, similar offerings to other Kilwins in the city. It wasn't too busy when I went, after a Shakespeare theater performance of The Notebook (which was also sickly sweet)

    Horribly overpriced and not great quality to back it up. No prices shown on the wall should have been the first clue. I ordered a strawberry shake - when I paid for it (after it was made) I nearly fainted when they told me it's was $16!! This location is just here to fleece people who have limited options here on the Pier. For$16, I was expecting an amazing shadow, but was sadly mistaken... It was very runny, and tasted as if the milk had gone slightly sour.

    Kilwin's is a chain but good quality throughout each location I've been to and taste great. 3 stars because this is a terrible location and very small. Not real way to even know where the line starts and most people coming in are confused. It's also crazy busy because being on the navy pier. Although Kilwin's is usually pricier but to have consistent quality and taste, worth it

    Let's address the elephant in the room: Yes this place is incredibly pricey for ice cream. I don't know where it stacks compared to other shops worldwide, but for me, it was the most expensive ice cream shop I've been to. A single scoop in a cup came to a little over $8. I know right, ! But let me be clear. If it was justified to be that price, then I would say that it'd be worth it. The single scoop would have to be a gallons worth or the ice cream would have to be the best on the planet. Sadly neither suited for today. The ice cream was definitely pretty good and if high quality, but it did not induce a joy-gasm that I would have wanted. The scoop was also fairly large, but not $8 large. The ice cream flavor (Windy City Mud, or something like that) was recommended by the employee who said it was popular. It made sense since the container was almost out. All in all it is a little overhyped as there were plenty of people lined up for this thing. It sure suckered me in! If I do feel like spending another $8 on some ice cream, I'd definitely try a flavor I KNOW I'd like just so I can see how it compares with other ice cream shops or take home brands.

    Milkshake $15 plus tax, plus tip
    Bobbie-jo D.

    Ask for prices first! I now understand why there is no prices on anything. I ordered 5 chocolate milkshakes for me, my husband and 3 kids and it come to $85 and they asked for a tip aswell and said it would come with complimentary chocolates. There were no chocolates he handed the milkshakes over and moved on to the next person. Tourist trap, theres no way they are getting repeat customers esp when a milkshake at DQ taste better for a fraction of the cost.

    See all

    $10.79 + TAX for a single scoop of ice cream. I am amazed they can charge that price for average ice cream. This place is a ripoff.

Packing is really cool. Goes great as a gift.

Everything is covered in soft velour and velvet and it's just beautiful! There's a great mural on the wall with different cute sayings painted on the leaves. I'll be sharing pictures of those so make sure you take a look! It's a little pricey for your average person but the quality of the chocolate which is from France and Germany makes it worth it! Their coffees come with a lot of options, some with very unique flavor combinations. I tried the rosemary caramel iced latte and I loved it! Which I was surprised by because I'm not usually a rosemary fan. They have a great variety of homemade marshmallows which I will also show you in the pictures, I can't resist a good marshmallow! So I had to try the brown butter marshmallows to bring home with me and oh my goodness! But the real winner for me was Homemade caramels! I would go back just for those! Especially the bacon one ! If you go there and try absolutely nothing else , get yourself a couple of those. you can thank me later ! The staff is super friendly and helpful! I also love that you can see back into the Candy Kitchen! So you know that all the Truffles and caramels and everything is prepared in-house and are super fresh and extra delicious! If you're ever near one of their many locations I encourage you to stop in! The coffee price point is actually very affordable, the truffle and marshmallow prices are truthfully probably comparable with like Godiva or Fannie May but they are made with much higher quality ingredients. Not someplace I would visit everyday, but definitely great for a special occasion! This would be a great business to visit for some sweet holiday treats! They have multiple shops!
