If you go to Stuart and don't visit Kilwin's, did you really even go?! Kilwin's is a MUST. It's worth waiting in a line out the door (which I've done--more than once!). You truly can't go wrong here, but their rum raisin is my favorite (so sweet, decadent, and boozy!). Pistachio, blue moon, and chocolate-peanut butter all tie for runner-up. Absolutely do not skip ordering your scoop in one of their homemade waffle cones. read more

Ice cream / Chocolates This place is an institution in Stuart and well worth the money you will spend in there. Even though they are located around the country, the experience is always a treat. The ice creams are made in-store and all I can say is that whoever came up with the coconut chocolate ice cream ought to be given a medal... just ridiculously outstanding (if you like coconut). The handmade chocolates are also amazing and there are plenty of options to choose from. I do not believe we have ever gotten out of this place without a handful of goodies to enjoy as we walk and later at home. For all of this goodness there is a price to pay -this is not exactly a cheap place but it is in line with what you might expect for more artisanal items. Just beware in case you have five kiddies with you... People working here are super helpful and know the products well. Only pet peeve I had was that the credit card machine "is going to ask you a question" which translates into "do you want to leave a tip?" Great stop for whenever we are in the Stuart area. Parking: It is downtown Stuart. Good luck. read more

I adore and love kilwins specifically this location, it's conveniently in the downtown Stuart area which is a great park and walk location small shops and boutiques. since the space is big and there is room to sit down inside. They also have many items that we can choose from. My go to is the Carmel apple pie apple, very delicious and sweet you can grab it whole or ask them to cut it up the apples around 9 bucks. Kilwins is a bit pricey for two strawberries dipped in chocolate which were priced at 4 bucks per strawberry. read more

Great ice cream. Extremely pricey. A place I take visitors when they come, and everyone enjoys it (but everyone comments on the prices, too.). Lots of homemade candy, fudge, and candy/caramel apples. It would be a nice gesture if they put a coupon for ice cream and not just fudge in the Enjoyment Book. read more

The ambiance is lame. It's not pretty! Nobody can really sit down inside comfortably. The young ladies are more into socializing than assisting customers. They seemed frightened to see customers come in like they don't know what to do which is concerning considering the job. I've seen the changes within this business and have had old friends work here decades ago. It needs help and maybe some attention to detail. It has location and history, but if it didn't it wouldn't last. read more

I love Kilwins! It always smells so good in here. My favorite thing is their homemade caramel corn. The caramel apples are great too, and my friend is obsessed with their mint chocolate chip ice cream. I have had some chocolate goodies before too and they're such a treat! read more

Went there last night, ice cream Was good however be careful of prices. We had 4 single scoop creams one in a cone one with hot fudge and one with Carmel and the cost was over $40. So $10 per serving. Better to go to local store and buy gallon of ice cream and save the money. read more

Great quality ice cream and chocolates. The variety was great and friendly people working.

What happened to pricing/portion sizes?? We just got two single scoops of ice cream, one in a cone and one in a cup for $15. They weighed the cup and there was about 10 small bites. It seems that the portions are half the size since our last visit about a month ago. We've been coming to Stuart kilwins for 15 years. We'll be getting our ice cream from other ice cream shops in the future. read more

Best ice cream ever, no question. Praline pecan is the best frozen food in downtown Stuart. Boathouse is the worst lol

As soon as you enter this place your nose has the whiff of chocolate, decadent chocolate. I could never work here as I love chocolate too much and would eat one of each. You can also smell all that sugar. We came in for that after dinner desert. My friend wanted ice cream she got the pistachio and there was sorbet too. Each having their caloric value. I walked out stuffed and so did she. The portions were decent and each cup of ice cream was 5.00 and I wouldn't pay for this at the super market but do at Kilwins. Its that treat as you ending that perfect night and you pay for it crazy. Want to try the candy apples next time. Parking can be on the curb or down the street in the parking lot. Service was good . read more

Very good ice cream. Don't get turned off by the prices. You get what you pay for, right? I always get a waffle cone, made fresh on the spot. This time I got the chocolate turtle ice cream and my dad got the salted caramel. We were satisfied customers 100% read more

Great ice cream with a nice selection of flavors. Inside seating area was clean and comfortable. I do wish they had the flavors posted on the wall since browsing the flavors down in the case is inconvenient, especially when the store is busy. read more

Already having ice cream withdrawals now that I'm back in LA. Kilwins has the best ice cream in Florida, and safe to say it's one of my favorites in all of the US! As you walk into the store, you're welcomed with the sweet smell of chocolates and waffle cones. This location can be busy at times, but I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes. They offer an array of flavors, toppings, and cones which you're sure to find the perfect combination of your choice. My absolute favorite flavor is the Toasted Coconut - rich, milk ice cream with chocolate covered coconut shavings folded in. I usually add almonds as a topping, and it's the perfect harmony of milky, crunchy, chocolate delight. When I want to really treat myself, I get the ice cream in a waffle bowl, which comes with a two scoop portion. There is really no such thing as too much ice cream! Kilwins is definitely more expensive than the average ice cream joints in town, but the price is in line with what I'm used to paying for artisan ice cream ($5-6). Hoping they can bring Kilwins to the west coast some day, but until then, I'll make it a point to visit whenever I'm in the east coast :) read more

Kilwin's is a great location for ice cream right next to the pier in Stuart. Although it's a chain it offers that local flavor that you'd want from ice cream. I visited last night with my wife. It had just rained so not a ton of people out walking around the area but for the people that were, most were inside of Kilwin's. When you walk through the door you are greeted by a wall or goodies. Many of which is fudge or chocolate dipped items. They have a bunch of different flavors that you view from the traditional ice cream parlor glass window in the buckets. I went with a flavor called "Stuart Mud" which was vanilla ice cream with chocolate chips and caramel swirl. It was delicious. Best thing is they have handmade chocolate dipped waffle cones and waffle BOWLS. I got a chocolate dipped waffle bowl and it tasted wonderful. They give you a plastic bowl to put the waffle bowl in but I probably didn't need it. Only odd thing about Kilwin's in my opinion is they got this strong wallpaper design that hits you in face when you walk. I would definetly recommend them on a stroll by the pier or simply a hot summer day between the boutique shopping with the gf or wife. read more

Went for a walk in downtown Stuart after we had a delicious dinner, and wandered into Kilwins, because the smell of the chocolate was intoxicating. There were so many delicious looking items to choose from was ridiculous and all decorated so cute for Easter. You could watch the girls make fresh waffle cones for the ice cream and the caramel apples were just over the top outrageous and smelled heavenly. What a delicious way to end a day. We bought some salted caramel fudge to have later. A great place to go on a date or bring your kids or grandkids. Everyone working in there was very pleasant, friendly and they all had great smiles on their faces. I'm sure it's from smelling chocolate all day. read more

Honestly not as good as I remember... Got a whole bunch of stuff and everything with nuts or pretzels tasted old and stale. Got like $54 dollars worth of stuff.... kind of upsetting I was looking really forward to everything. read more

Kilwins is charming and wonderful. In the heart of lovely Downtown Stuart sits this magical little ice cream shop. As people walk past, they all comment on how amazing the smell is outside. The smell is a combination of waffle cones baking inside and all the lovely sweets they produce. You're welcomed often with fudge samples, and greeted even more so with the amazing smell when you walk inside. People from all over the world visit this location. Those people and Stuart locals alike adore Kilwins; coming together with those you love, to share a tasty treat in a beautiful seaside town, surrounded by good smells and pretty sights. Visit this Kilwins with a friend and take a walk down to the Riverwalk. You'll be glad you did! read more

The ice cream and waffle cones are very good, but the caramel apples are exceptionally crisp and tasty!

My daughter and I were in the area for a dinner party and decided to stop in. The young lady that helped us was so patient considering we ordered 3 quarts which she hand-packed right there. We ordered the Rum Raisin, Blue Moon and Superman. We also asked for a double scoop of Cookies and Cream in a cone. No one else on earth makes better ice cream, especially Cookies and Cream. Due to the heat I didn't take pics (I was temporarily out of my mind from the humidity) but if you are ever in the area definitely stop by. This is my favorite out of all of their locations I have been to. read more

Great location. You can smell it from down the street and it is worth following your nose. Well... unless you're on a diet. Ice cream is wonderful. And they have so many flavors beyond the norm. Get adventurous and try something new, you won't be disappointed. Staff is super friendly and patient. You need the patience when you keep adding things and questioning all the options. Oh yeah, and kids from ages 4 weeks to 104 years clearly love it! Thanks for all you do Kilwins!!! read more

Stopped in this Ice Cream place after a dinner in the area. Everything is made on site and is delicious. Ice cream, candy, fudge, waffle cones........many flavors to choose from too. There was a long line but it went fast. Will definitely be back. read more

A perfectly nice neighborhood ice cream shop and chocolatier. Awe-inspiring? Maybe not. But still a great place to stop with the kids for ice cream and a chocolate covered something. Or Orangeade (which they have in addition to lemonade and limeade and which is pretty darn refreshing). Service is local high school girls - which is slow but pleasant. read more

Sorry to say 5 people got sick last night after eating ice cream. Stomach cramps and diarrhea. The ice cream seemed very melty. Just a warning to be careful. I called and was told the owner would be notified. I really hope so. read more

After having lunch at a nearby restaurant, my husband and I decided to treat our grandchildren to some take home ice cream. Yelp directed me to Kilwins. Since it was hard to find a parking spot, my husband got out to go into the store. I circled the block and found a place to park near Kilwins the second time around. The aroma when I entered the store was laden with chocolate and sugar. The store was crowded on this mid-Sunday afternoon but my husband was already near the front of the line enjoying a few ice cream samples. The young lady working at the counter was very pleasant and offered me a sample of ice cream as well. We purchased a quart of Old Fashioned Vanilla. Six of us finished the entire quart shortly after arriving at home. The ice cream was rich and creamy and hit the spot on a warm day. It was a bit pricy ( $14 ) for a quart but as an occasional treat it's worth the price. Kilwins also creates its own brand of fudge and candies as well. There are Florida-themed gifts and novelties available for purchase here. read more

Not allergy friendly. I do not recommend this place for people with allergies, don't waste your time there like I did.

Tried this place for the first time. It's a chocolate lover's paradise. I had the newest ice cream flavor - chocolate sea salt caramel. It was little rich for me, but tasted exactly like its name. The line to enter was out the door, past 2 shops, but the wait was quick because the staff is very efficient and courteous. This was wonderful because we were able to get out just in time to see the fireworks for the 4th! We'll definitely visit again! read more

Fireeeeeeeeeeeeee! This place is awesome! Super small spot everything made with love you can totally taste the quality.

The girls at the counter were SO friendly and patient with everyone. I had the Stuart mud and it was delicious!

Kilwins, I love ya. But wow! you put way too much sugar in the candy. Wife and I just bought 3 slices of different flavor fudge, and because it's so over the top sweet, there's barely a difference in flavors. It all tastes like sugar. No chocolate taste, no maple taste, just sugar. Sincere suggestion - cut back on sugar by 50% and celebrate flavor. read more

I hate to say this --- this place was a disappointment. I am a huge milkshake fan and love chocolates. I eat chocolate daily and feel it should be a regular part of your diet. I walked in and began browsing all the beautiful packages with candy and caramel and popcorn and oh my so much goodness. Went up to order a milkshake and they only have one size on the menu $9.95. What the heck, ok I ordered a chocolate. While they were whipping it up, I browsed more. I noticed not one single product had prices shown. No where - why is this I ask? I grabbed a bag of caramel corn and paid for it with my milkshake. Over $20 bucks -- I was shocked a small town like Stuart. Seriously? I know this is a specialty store in a sleepy seaside town of historic Stuart; but come on people. We all know it doesn't cost anywhere near $10 to make that tiny bag (6oz) of caramel corn. While I'm sharing my thoughts - the milkshake was very bland. especially for the price tag. Yes, bland. Tasted as if it were made with ice milk instead of ice cream, and they cut back on the chocolate and it wasn't thick like you it should be. It was not what I consider a good milkshake and far from a great milkshake. I guess if I were to walk in and just order a cup of ice cream it would had been great; but, I wanted to explore more and ended up paying more too. UGH! I will not return because of the quality and the prices. Too steep for my pocket book and even if it were not, I still wouldn't throw my money out on a bad milkshake. We have all become foodies and know good food when we see it. Kilwins needs to step up to the plate. read more

I've been going to this Kilwins since I was a little girl & I get the same ice cream every single time I go there lol. I've tried almost every flavor they have. Sometimes they have new flavors too! But the Macinac Island Fudge is my all time top favorite ice cream. Huge pieces of homemade fudge swirled into the ice cream. Sometimes you can catch them making the fresh fudge or freshly dip chocolate strawberries. Oh & their Carmel apples omg!! read more

Straight 5 out of 5 . You're walking down the side of the street and all you smell is chocolate and literally ice cream! The moment you walk into this chocolate/ice cream/Souvenir shop you fall in love with big chunks of chocolates, the smell of fresh brownies, the touch of cold air from the fridges and most of all you can feel the love for sweets from the staff. I chose the chocolate and peanut butter ice cream cup, my God was that delicious. My wife chose the Georgia peach sherbet and it was as sweet as real peaches. Besides the sweets, they have a little gift shop for anything from chocolate covered strawberries, chunks of chocolate and brownies to Star Wars gum ball machines. This place is a little piece of chocolate and ice cream heaven. If you're ever in Stuart and visit the small beach front down town area, visit this place. read more
