Cold, clean, and delicious! That fresh waffle cone smell will drag you in! I have to add - customer service was on point! It's a must stop when you are visiting the riverwalk. Not to mention it is Fiesta parade night.. i think it was the owner? He was so nice to his employees and their families that sat in front of the store to watch the parade. That was a win-win to me!! read more

There are two entrances to Kilwins; the more popular one is along Alamo Plaza and the other is on Losoya Street. This shop sells fudge, truffles, candied apples, and - what I came for - ice cream! They had a lot of ice cream flavors to choose from, a least a couple dozen. The smiling young woman working behind the ice cream counter offered to give tastes, but I had already figured out which flavors I wanted. I chose two scoops in a cup, one of Cappucino Chip and the other Turtle Cheesecake. They have several tables to sit at, some along a hallway and more in a back room. I took a seat and was in awe of the huge scoops given. The Cappuccino Chip had a mild flavor (I prefer it stronger) but a fair number of tiny chocolate chips. The Turtle Cheesecake had an excellent cheesecake flavor with swirls of caramel, praline pecans, and caramel-filled mini turtles. I'm usually not fond of nuts in my ice cream but I actually enjoyed the pralines. In my humble opinion, there were too few turtles. But I still loved it. If you're in the mood for a cold, creamy treat while visiting the Alamo, you'll find this to be the perfect place to visit. read more

Sorry, just NOT paying $10 for a regular sized ice cream cone. I don't understand why people would pay that much for an ice cream cone in a current depression. What is wrong with people?? WAY OVERPRICED!!! read more

Beautiful ice-cream shop that's inviting with their chocolate fragrance and has a live-window where you could see chocolates are made. They have enough space to dine outside but not inside the store. I love their ice-creams flavors and variety. My favorite flavors : 1. Cookies and cream 2. Cappuccino 3. Old fashioned Vanilla Hands down the vanilla was amazing! You should definitely try that. The small cup start off close to $7. read more

Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I have tried many kilwins locations and this was exactly the same, nothing more or less. The place is pretty big with so many confectionery sold apart from ice creams. Their popular one was Cookie and cream. Honestly, it was okay not so great. The cup size was pretty big for small. read more

Everything about Kilwin's was absolutely sweet and enjoyable! We had to visit two times during our stay in San Antonio-- once for the fudge and once for the ice cream! All the employees were incredibly kind, patient, and helpful! I cannot recommend Kilwin's enough. You can even smell how delectable the sweets are down the block! read more

Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge - They let us sample various fudges! - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

While visiting the Alamo we paused to grab a bit of ice cream. Staff is super friendly and they took the time to walk us through everything! Made suggestions for ice cream and all the fudge, cookies, and everything else. On that note. I had butter pecan ice cream. So amazing. Honestly everything looked so good. 100% will return on my next visit to San Antonio. 10/10 can't go wrong stopping by! read more

The best sweet shop downtown! I've passed by Kilwins for years with the misunderstanding that it was only an ice cream shop, but I was SO wrong! They have chocolates, candies, chocolate and caramel dipped treats, ice cream, and so much more filling tables and shelves all throughout the shop. The place was super bright and cheerful, not to mention exceptionally clean, and is staffed by the friendliest team members ever. We were greeted as soon as we entered, and while we were perusing through the huge selection of goodies, Larry offered us both delicious fudge and decadent chocolate samples to try. We ended up choosing a couple of dipped Marsh-Mallows, one Caramel and one Sea-Salt. While I was expecting a thinner layer of crispy caramel, I bit into the exact opposite. Both had the thickest layers of what tasted like Werther's caramel, soft and chewy. Despite the thickness, the caramel didn't overwhelm the marshmallows' sugary flavor and instead complemented one another. The light chocolate drizzle on the Caramel Marsh-Mallow was just enough to enhance the simple but delicious caramel flavor. The chocolate coat on the Sea-Salt Marsh-Mallow, however, was easily tasted over the base caramel coat, the sea salt adding a delicious savory flavor to the treat. Every bit of these thick Marsh-Mallows was filled with sugary deliciousness! This place is absolute heaven for sweet tooths! When you visit Kilwins, make sure you try a few samples. There's tons to try and you'll love every bite! read more

We seem to end up here whenever we are near the Alamo. Perhaps it's the little voice inside calling me to come look at all the different types of goodies, or maybe it's my sugar addiction pulling me in, but either way since I'm here, gotta get something to satisfy my guilty pleasure. My favorite for a truly spiritual experience is the white chocolate bar that is shaped in the form of a cross. Fudge is sold by the pound with the lemon flavor one being a winner. So many sweet things to choose from-it's hard to pick one and leave, so instead make sure to grab a few. Wifely loves Ice cream and usually gets a cone or scoop from the many choices they have. Add a waffle bowl and you will be happy walking around even in 100d temps. You can indulge yourself in the many chocolate covered snacks if you are into that sort of thing. Not to worry, I'm not judging; lest me be judged. Always good to park far from here, so you can walk it off. read more

Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

To me, this shop is something I would describe as impressive. There are so many options for both chocolate and ice cream alike, and there is a good chance you will be satisfied with what you get. A single scoop waffle cone with strawberry chunk ice cream was enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. The atmosphere and the friendliness of the employees was refreshing. The price was as refreshing as I paid 10 dollars for said ice cream. Overall, I would definitely recommend especially for such a convenient location in downtown. read more

My wife and I were looking for ice cream and Kilwins did not disappoint. Right away we were greeted by Damion I believe his name was. He offered us a sample of fudge and then ice cream. He was super polite and helpful. He gave us great recommendations and directed us where to sit down and enjoy our ice cream. It was a great experience and we went and shook his hand afterwords for the great experience. Keep it up Kilwins great customer service! read more

I'm aware of this franchise because I come from Michigan however my experience was better than anticipated because I was served by Jonathan. We asked for a sample of ice cream and he proceeded to share some flavors of the MI region, why your fudge has a wonder flavor and even elaborated on Kilwins community partners...Jonathan represented the brand with professional passion. I loved that he has a drive to complete his education while continuing to work for the store. If I was the owner, I would send him to headquarters, give him the fudge making experience and set him up for success once he gets his degree. Because he is a diamond in the rough and that DNA is hard to find. Way to go Jonathan and the owner! read more

Even though I live not top far from San Antonio and often come down for work, I have to be honest and say I haven't done much exploring here. However, finding out about Kilwins was so delightful! A chocolate shop super close to the Alamo with free fudge and ice cream samples?? Sign me up! I was in the mood for ice cream and ended up getting a scoop of cake batter with chocolate syrup and was in heaven! I also bought a box of chocolate dipped oreos for later snacking. I enjoyed my scoop of ice cream while strolling down the Alamo and enjoying a sunny Saturday evening outside post-work conference! read more

It appears this ice cream shop has been a staple in the area for many years. The decor dates back into the 50's. It's cute. The people working there are friendly and laughing. Huge variety of sweet treats and they allow samples of fudge and their many ice creams. They do homemade waffle cones and bowls which I love. We opted for the Dulce De Leche single scoop on Sugar cone and it set us back $8.65 - for one scoop. Good thing we aren't huge ice cream fans. It was cold and delicious- they have seating so you can chill in the air conditioned large shop which is nice. read more

Upon walking to the riverwalk, I stumbled across Kilwins. I easily give in to sweets so I helped myself in as the smell of sweetness had me craving whatever they had to offer. I instantly walked to the ice cream selection and was immediately told if I wanted to try their popular choices. I was given the coconut roasted ice cream to try and was immediately hooked. When I tell you this icecream was like no other I've EVER tasted! I felt like I'd been missing out all my life not ever knowing about this ice cream choice. I was even more excited when I found out they had a Kilwins in Houston close to home. 10/10 to staff for being attentive and helpful on sweet recommendations. read more

Great customer service. Pricey but I mean what isn't expensive on the Riverwalk? Great tasting sweets.

Kilwins was amazing! I have to say that the chocolate and fresh strawberry ice cream were the best flavors. Chocolate is my personal fave. Being a chocolate shop as well, Kilwins certainly knew how to make chocolate so delectable. I couldn't resist it. When you walk in, the scent of warm, fresh melty chocolate just tempts you. You'll see what I mean. I love it! 5/5 stars for sure. And I have no regrets. read more

Cute chocolate shop with ice cream. The chocolate covered caramel pretzels were really good. Kids working behind the counter were very helpful and cheerful. They seemed to enjoy their job and were well trained. read more

Really good ice cream. Lots of yummy treats and gifts. It's like a local version of Ghirardelli. They give free fudge samples. Ice cream is fresh and has huge chunks of pralines and chocolates. Ambiance just needs better decor as it cheapens the place needlessly. What a shame since the ice cream is spot on. My snooty kids all say they prefer Ghirardelli in terms of perception. Glad that they're going strong since 1947. And glad it's not one of a the hundreds of gelato places. Next time might try Mr ice cream instead. They need to update their Yelp page as it says that they have validated parking, but they don't. read more

We are in love with Kilwins Fudge, we first visited while in Asheville and now frequent here in SA. Waffle bowls & cones are nicely fresh & crunchy. I enjoy the pistachio and vanilla or chocolate with coconut the most Staff are always quite friendly and welcoming! Also besides ice cream the candies are a must! good luck because there's way too many to choose from! read more

Was walking by and couldn't help but smell the aroma from inside. The staff was very welcoming and friendly . We sampled fudge and omg so good. Felt like I could get fat, by just staring at it . The turtle fudge was my favorite . We ended up ordered chocolate covered holiday pretzels; which were good and hit the spot. If you have a sweet tooth, make sure you stop here. So much to choose from - something for everyone. read more

It's a must stop for Ice cream or you have a sweet tooth! They have endless options of chocolates, fudge, anything covered in chocolate and ice cream! The service was great and the reason I'm writing this review. We were Instantly greeted by Mauricio and he gave us a tour of options and tastings. We ended up with a few ice cream cones, the ice cream is really good and freshly made. They are a Michigan ice cream spot, I'll say they know a thing or two about ice cream! Shout out to Mauricio for being an excellent employee. I hope the manager knows he's got a great worker. read more

If you want a quick and inexpensive sweet snack, get the caramel chews. Costs about $1.80 for a salted caramel chew. I usually get two.
