There are three - count 'em three - chocolate shops on the downtown square in Dahlonega. Somehow, they're not interchangeable, and Kilwin's takes the cake (or candy apple?) for Best in Show. They offer free samples of their fudge flavors. For me, the first sample (lemon) had me hooked with its delicious sweet Meyer flavor. They also have a lemon meringue ice cream, which sounds divine, but I didn't go for ice cream in addition to fudge. Maybe I'll try that next time! My wife is a candy apple adficianado, and reports that their apple pie and white chocolate apple is to die for. What really pushed this review over the top was the beyond friendly employee who was happy to answer questions and helped a pregnant woman who was feeling a little faint in the sun by bringing her some ice water. Good folks and good products! read more

The staff were super friendly, and we enjoyed talking with them. I wanted a chocolate covered waffle cone, but they were out of them. Instead, I got a bowl with chocolate on my ice cream. (Next time, I will ask for the chocolate in first). I'm never disappointed in Kilwins, whether it is their products, the appearance of their store, or their staff, it is a pleasant experience. read more

We make a point of coming to Kilwin's whenever we visit Dahlonega. It is so delightful and clean and the staff is always super friendly! They offer a massive list of options and they're more than happy to let you sample whatever you'd like before you settle on what it is you want. We ordered the blueberry waffle cone in a waffle cone And the chocolate coconut in the dish. The nostalgia of blueberry ice cream hit my heart with every lick. It was so incredibly good! The staff is consistently friendly and generous with samples. read more

Another glorious. post dinner ice cream time at Kilwin's Dahlonega! This time I had the no sugar added chocolate caramels. They were absolutely over the top, incredible and amazing! How that much flavor can be in something without sugar is astounding. It just goes to show the world class, outstanding quality of Kilwin's. My three guests said the strawberry ice cream, traxchocolate chunk ice cream, and the butte pecan ice cream. All were very happy with their choices. Can't wait to return to the finest ice cream store in the world! Kilwin's Dahlonega! read more

Everything we purchased here was so delicious! We grabbed caramels, chocolate truffles, bagged peanut brittle. I could have gotten one piece or one of everything and would have been perfectly happy either way! It's all so delicious! The items are given to you with such care too. The truffles were wrapped in a box. I saw a customer order a caramel apple and they cut it for them so they could share with a friend. The employees were so incredibly kind as well. There was an employee that was being patient with a dad's two young kids trying to decide what flavor of ice cream they wanted. The prices are very reasonable too compared to other local shops and surrounding cities. They also have deals every so often. The day we went they had BOGO. If I was a local I would go all the time! read more

Love Kilwins in Dahlonega, Georgia!!!! We visited on a Wednesday and received our waffle cones for free that evening!!! The service there is excellent! Everyone is so accommodating/friendly!!! I'm sad to say it was my last time there for now as my family that I visit is moving back to North Carolina, but someday, I hope to visit again! Thank you all for always being so kind and for the excellent icecream! Praline is my favorite! read more

Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Dahlonega, Georgia

My 5 year old granddaughter is a loyal customer who refuses to have our ice cream dates anywhere else. She has a lot of questions for the employee scooping her ice cream and changes her mind at least 3 times before she settles on the same thing we get every time, and the staff is so patient and sweet every single time. I enjoy getting our little treats here because I never have to worry about the quality of their service or the food read more

Our favorite place while in Dahlonega. The manager is such a nice individual, staff is fantastic . Very neat and clean with a vast assortment of ice cream and chocolate Candy ! read more

I should be embarrassed to admit how many times we went to Kilwin's during our recent 5 days in Dahlonega, but I'm not. Not at all. Every day we did something (i.e. walking from the car, not tripping a sibling in the crosswalk) that earned a warm waffle cone crammed with Cappuccino Chocolate Chip or Marshmallow S'mores. One day we went twice, and that was only because we were too stuffed with ice cream and caramel apples to get off the couch and go a third time. We wanted to, though. My children may never eat a regular apple sans caramel and chocolate again, but their entrepreneurial spirit was kindled by trying to figure out where we could open a Kilwin's in our hometown. In a few days when the delightful Kilwin's aroma fades from our memory and the last of our stockpiled apple slices are gone, we just might figure it out...or drive back to Dahlonega. IDK. read more

I have been to many Kilwins locations but nothing like this one, their service sets this place in a whole other level! No matter how busy they are they have time to greet you, smile, be nice, fun and even explain you how they prepare things! We enjoyed all the products we bought (ice cream, fudge, chocolate and marshmallows) but the experience of being at the store was the best part! The guy making the waffle cones took the time to explain my son how to make it step by step and answer all his questions and gave him a taste of a freshly made one! A must stop when visiting Dahlonega, GA! read more

Great location on the square - liked the late hours and great selection. Perfect after a hike!

I've been to Kilwins locations in several states. This location, is by far, the best. The folks working are very friendly and give generous scoops of ice cream. The ice cream is high quality and tastes great. The store is clean and has a few chairs inside and outside for you to enjoy your ice cream. I come here each time I visit Dahlonega. read more

We were enjoying the day walking around the shops in Dahlonega and decided we needed a little snack! :) If you love chocolate, you will love Kilwins! There's something for everyone! They had a special on caramel apples (buy one get one free)! So i took those home for my son who loves caramel. I picked up a slice of very yummy chocolate/peanut butter fudge - very very delicious! They had lots of options to pick from. I brought my husband a few little chocolate pieces from their selection. I was hoping to find a variety milk chocolate options already boxed up that i could easily grab it and go, but did not see those. Also, i would have loved to have had a red "candy apple", but all they offer is caramel. I guess I have to wait for the fair to come to town - Lol ! This location also serves ice cream! Heads up, the prices are pretty high, so this is a place for special occasions in my opinion. Note: They also have an Alpharetta location. read more

Located in the main town square , this chocolate store is an important stop on our way through Dahlonega always. The proprietor greeted us warmly this morning and offered to tell us about the sweet selections. We selected my favorite nonpareils, sea foam (haven't tried? Melt in your mouth goodness) and grabbed a hard to find toasted coconut ice cream cone. Quote of our trip today was "the waffle cone was so fresh!" Yes, explains it all. read more

Truly world-class experience at our first visit from start to finish. The staff working provided exceptional customer service. The ice cream was exceptional as was the fudge. We even had the opportunity to meet the owner, who was extremely nice. We will be back very soon, and look forward to being regular customers! read more

Got here at 8:20pm on Saturday and there were two guys in the store with the door locked. The sign on the door and the posting online said open until 9pm. read more

Good management practices are apparent the minute you walk in the door of the Dahlonega Kilwins. They are brilliantly open long past all the other fudge, candy and ice cream shops so the logical place to go after dinner is KILWINS! The staff is always friendly and helpful...They truly seem proud of what they do. Tonight Casey was helpful, knowledgeable and PATIENT as we made our choices. I highly recommend the Pecan Pralines when you can get them! read more

We had the pleasure of visiting this chocolate shop twice last weekend. The immediate impression was wow! What smells so good?! It's most likely the waffle cones! Next, we got to chat with the Manager, Jack, who was probably the most impressive person we met this trip. He was a great ambassador for both Kilwins and Dahlonega in general. He suggested great chocolates and made recommendations for resturants and places to visit. He remembered us on our second visit, for hot chocolate, and referred back to things we had talked about the first time. Impressive. A tribute to Kilwins. I highly recommend visiting Kilwins when in the area. read more

Amazing! Superb customer service! My fiancé and I ordered chocolate truffles for our wedding. Jack and team are fabulous! They are personal and assisted us with selecting the delicious truffles. The details of the presentation and ensuring the chocolates were delivered before our ceremony meant the world. The truffles were a hit with our guests!!

White chocolate covered marshmallow on a stick. That's all I have to say. Fabulous. Nice folks that operate this location, and it's right on the Dahlonega square.

Sure the products are great, but the service is what sets this business apart. Being in a college town a lot of young people work here, and they're all great. They're attentive and personable. They remember and have a rapport with their regulars. I am always going to frequent sweet shops, but this place... the people and the service keeping me coming back just as much as the sweets. Well done team! read more

Just stopped in for a coffee and ice cream and received the best customer service! Thanks for closing out my Sunday on a good note.
