$14 malt. For that price, the experience should approach sexual ecstasy but sadly, it did not.

Friendly staff. Amazing ice cream. You eat outside by the docks and there is a park next to it.read more

The Ice Cream Shoppe is THE place to go in the summer (and you better go a lot because it's only…read moreopen May-August!) It's a little shack right by the marina in downtown Cedarville, and you can eat your delicious cone or sundae out at the tables by the water - if it's sunset, even better! The shoppe always is well-stocked with three cases of rotating flavors of ice cream (Mackinac Island Fudge is always there, though!) plus plenty of specialty sundaes, shakes and malts to choose from. One of my family members orders a Heavenly Hill sundae (with hot fudge and Reese's Pieces on top) every time - yum! One scoop is $2 and two is only $2.50. Sundaes are a little more ($3.75-$4.75) but remember you're paying for the experience and the enjoyment of summer! They also serve hot dogs and other food-shack-type but I've never tried them. You can order from inside (standing room for only about 4 people!) or outside at the window but I think the inside is faster and you can see all the ice cream flavors. In the evenings there's usually a bit of a line but the girls who usually are working there are fast and friendly. Small little parking lot fits about 5-6 cars. There's a little slide where kids can play and a gazebo with extra seating, and it's just an all-around perfect experience to go out for ice cream in the summers in Cedarville!

We weren't planning to visit Kilwins but the building happened to catch our eyes on the way to the…read moreTunnel of Trees. We quickly found out that this is the flagship/factory location and we decided to drop in on the way back down. This location is huge, and understandably so as it makes the chocolates that are delivered to the rest of the stores in the country. While we visited as the day was winding down, there were still a few people making chocolate bunnies and packaging peppermint squares in the windows. There were plenty of people inside looking to get ice cream and treats in the hot weather but the line moved fast and we were in the front in no time. Regular in a Dish ($7.99) - I almost had a heart attack when I saw how much they were charging for a regular size in a dish. I guess there's a reason they only have the menu posted up near the end of the line, after you've already selected your flavors... They also weigh the ice cream before serving it to you - a good way to control portions I suppose, but very strange to see in an ice cream shop. Is it because they want to make sure to give you a minimum amount of ice cream for the size, or is it because they want to nickle and dime and make sure you don't get a single gram more than they need to give? I'm not sure, but I know now that a regular is approximately 8.2oz. I was almost going to give Kilwins a premature 2/5 before I started eating... We went with two flavors in the regular dish - firstly a scoop of Chocolate Caramel Cookies & Cream on the bottom and New Orleans Praline Pecan on the top. On my first spoonful, I could tell that this ice cream is exceptionally high quality. It was difficult to even insert the plastic spoon into the ice cream and it took some effort to finally get a scoop out. And then lifting the spoon out of the cup, the ice cream stuck well to the spoon without any stretch or gumminess. The first impression I got as it hit my tongue - exceptionally creamy, rich and dense, with an exceptionally low overrun for an ice cream. The ice cream is sweet, but not cloyingly so. It's studded with actual pralines that are covered with crunchy candied coating, adding a nice texture and caramelized flavor. The chocolate caramel is similar in quality - with a rich chocolate flavor, sweet with caramel swirl and some soft cocoa cookie bits to round out the flavor. I have to say, Kilwins has some of the highest quality ice cream you can get. Now the problem is that I don't know if it's worth the money over small batch artisan ice cream shops, or other larger high quality chains. For example, the ice cream here costs more than Salt & Straw, Jeni's, Chocolate Shoppe, etc. I just can't image that the quality is that much higher than those places, and yet they charge more. So yes, the ice cream here is fantastic and I have to give Kilwin's a 5/5 just for quality. However, I don't feel like I can recommend this place due to the cost, unless you count it as the price of entertainment while stopping in the shop and watching the factory hum along. One bonus is that they do give out free samples of both ice cream and chocolate, so I guess that makes up for some of the cost as well? Bathrooms - Two larger bathrooms for both genders.

As soon as you walk into the store, you're welcomed with a lovely smell of all the chocolates,…read morefudge, and other goodies. Immediately we were asked about trying a fudge sample. All the fudge is delicious and well worth it. They have a variety of other tasty treats available and upon checking out, we were given a mini portion of whatever chocolate we said was our favorite. The ice cream was also delicious. The staff very friendly. Very nice spot.

Part clothing, gear, and tourist shop, part ice cream parlor = 100% good stuff…read more I always love browsing here. They carry things you may need for a day at the beach, clothing from brands like North Face, Patagonia, Free People, etc. Plus local touristy gear like branded sweatshirts from local brands like M22, stickers, etc. The brands they carry aren't cheap but Leland is a pricier tourist town. The ice cream parlor serves Moomers ice cream which is some of the best ice cream out there. Here you can pick from one of 32 flavors to get on a cone, in a bowl, as a sundae, in a float, or a shake, etc. My go to flavors are usually Supermoo or Cherries Moo-boolie. The shop is one of the few in town that is not dog friendly inside (I'm guessing because of the ice cream counter) but it's ok because they also have a walk up window (for ice cream only) so anyone with a canine can still enjoy a nice scoop. It also has water and such out for your pups!

This review is a little overdue but better late than never. In June 2023, we were on our family…read moreroad trip from Philly and around the Great Lakes. We stopped here to stretch our legs and walk the dog for a bit. It is a cute little town. This store was cute but pricey. We had kids so they all wanted ice cream. The staff was friendly and they had a cute little pup window to get us a pup cup for our husky. She loved it. My ice cream was delicious too.
