Kilwins had pretty awesome ice cream. (Name a bad ice cream place). But the price on their candy...go to the candy shop on Merchant Square. A significant $ amount less expensive. These same chocolate covered peanuts were $14.99/lb. Anyway...I had Rum Raisin ice cream and New Orleans Praline Pecan. 1/2 scoop of each! Delicious. A friend got a chocolate malt. Claimed it was the best ever had. Ice cream was priced similar to other ice cream places The servers/ice cream scoopers were very friendly and attentive. read more

Kilwin's is the perfect spot to cool down on a hot day when you're exploring colonial Williamsburg. We happened to be traveling during a heatwave so we desperately needed to cool off and grab a sweet pick me up, cue Kilwin's to the rescue. We were greeted by the friendly staff and indulged in some tasty ice cream and dark chocolate caramel treats. Well worth the visit if you're in the area! read more

Small town candy/ice cream shop here. The smell gets you in and lots of things to take in. Overpriced? A little in my opinion. A caramel turtle was $8.99 for one! There's fudge (I tried a sample of chocolate and vanilla- creamy.) We came for the ice cream. It was a little hectic when we were there. A line that made it hard to see the flavors. There is a small sign that you can scan to see the flavors but by the time you are at the barcode, you are at the ordering spot. I went with a small New Orleans praline pecan. It was good. Not the best I have ever had. How can you go wrong with ice cream? read more

It's an average Kilwins but double the price because of the location. Everything tasted alright. I just didn't like that a single scoop of ice cream was $8. read more

The BEST mint chocolate chip ice cream I have ever had! I savored every bite! Definitely worth the price and the portion was very generous.

One of my favorite chocolate places. Their milk chocolate is creamy and luscious. My favorites are the salted milk chocolate caramel truffles and the salted milk chocolate caramel fudge. Yes. I do have a favorite flavor profile. Their ice cream is pretty tasty too! I also like the salted milk chocolate caramel apples. They do the chocolate covered cookies and pretzels along with other standards. They're all tasty. Being practically at the CW (Colonial Williamsburg) means you can go walk off those calories while taking a glimpse at colonial times. Service can be hit or miss. I suspect they hire college students. Sometimes you get nice and helpful ones and sometimes you get ones who act like you're bothering them (removed a star for this). Ambiance is alright. It's starting to really show its age and needs an updating. Nothing that would ruin your experience though. read more

Eight dollars ($$$8) for a single scoop of ice cream in a paper cup... really? Avoid this place like the plague!

Payed $30 for four single ice creams! Not only that but it's a dollar up charge for split scoops. :( no where to sit inside and honestly not the best ice cream. Especially for the price. They do however have pretty nice service. Super friendly and talkative staff. Will not be back. read more

A great assortment of homemade chocolate, Carmel corn and ice cream. It was all delicious!

What an awesome spot! Will was so kind and greeted us when we walked in and gave us a sample of his fresh caramel. He took time to talk to us about how he makes caramel and fudge and was so good with my kids. We went back after dinner and he cut up a fresh caramel apple for us and helped us select some yummy treats. My kids left so happy and said it felt like going to Wonka's from the movie! Thank you,Will! Wish we lived closer. read more

My boyfriend and I came two times during our trip because it was that good! The first time we got some yummy chocolates and fudge. The second we got delicious ice cream! Each time we were met with amazing customer service, I swear the nicest people you'll meet! Also when you walk in, IT SMELLS LIKE HEAVEN. If you get the ice cream, you have to get it in a homemade waffle cone! Also they are known for their homemade fudge so get a piece of that while you're at it. read more

Kilwins was a lovely shop, with great tasting ice cream! Main drawback was NO SEATING! It wasn't too busy when my large group walked in but it did get busy right after and felt a bit crowded and chaotic when it came to placing orders at the multiple counters. Employees were friendly especially when I had to ask for a bag of ice for an injury that occurred outside (again no where to sit inside). Only one person in our party didn't like their flavor choice, cake batter, which she said was WAY too sweet. A few members of our group tried a caramel apple and said it was tasty. Overall it was a nice place with mostly good treats but I wouldn't visit a second time. read more

On Easter Sunday we took a lovely ride up to colonial Williamsburg to have some ice cream and a family stroll. Kilwins are well known for being one of the best Ice creamy shops in Hampton Roads. Their reputation is based off of quality desserts and exceptional customer service I am not big on ice cream so I had to bring in the kiddo to help me out on this review. LOL. We ordered 2 waffle cones. One with cookie dough and cookies and cream. The other with pralines Ice cream. Everyone enjoyed their ice cream. The smiles were my key indicator . I ordered the lemon sherbet hoping it was similar to a gelato and I will confess I was not fond of my frozen dessert. It was way to sweet for me. Overall we had a great experience and although we had to wait in. Line, service was prompt and served with a smile... behind. Mask of course. read more

A great ice cream spot in colonial Williamsburg. It is perfect especially during the summertime. I always get a milkshake and I've never had a bad experience! read more

I was in the area walking around and decided to stop in and see what they have to offer. The place smells wonderful. I love seeing the chocolate spinning and the fresh dipped pretzel dipped chocolate. I decided to get some fudge because it looked amazing and delicious. I ended up getting two pieces of peanut butter and one piece of chocolate and peanut butter fudge. It is the best I've had in the area. It's not as sweet compared to other fudge. read more

My weight scale hates this place! But my taste buds loved it! The ice cream is to die for. Don't forget to get at least 1 slice of their fudge, any flavor. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Next time, we gotta pick up their hot chocolate mix, have to try it out. read more

The ice cream at Kilwins is always consistently good, and what they have here in this location is no different than the one I go regularly to up in New Jersey. You can't go wrong with their flavors, with mint ice cream and strawberry being the ones I always go with, like I did here. The ice cream here can be a bit pricey but it's really worth the money in terms of the great taste and texture of their offerings. There's plenty of other sweet confections here as well, such as their copious amount of fudge and other candy options. The only hiccup here was the service, which was somewhat inattentive. Even though my kid and I were the only people here, it took a while before anyone walked over to ask what we'd like to order. It seemed like they were all engrossed in some kind of training but it seemed odd when there's literally someone standing next to them and it required me to ask for attention before getting any service. read more

While the service and the ice cream at Kilwins are great, paying seven $7.00 for one scoop of ice cream is absolutely outrageous!

Kilwins is one of those fudge/candy shops you always stop in Bc it smells like heaven the minute you walk in. Like the old Bugs Bunny episodes where the scent is a finger and leads you in by your nose. They have loads of take away items already prepackaged and ready to go as well as fresh fudge you can sample and purchase, ice cream goodies, and a bunch of fresh made chocolates like dipped oreos, krispie treats and chocolate dipped pretzels. Staff are perky and friendly and helpful. Ready to give samples and answer questions at a moments notice. I like the active candy shop vibe where they are making and melting chocolate goodies behind glass in front of you as you walk in sometimes. I never have a problem finding something to purchase in this store. That's for sure. If you're roaming the area. You need to make this a stop off. read more

So I am a milkshake fanatic and after trying this place, I don't know how the basking ribbons across the street stays in business. The milkshakes were so good I went back the next night for a second. Located right in the heart of Williamsburg and near William and Mary, there is a parking garage next door where you can park, grab some ice cream, and begin your walk around downtown, or in our case a ghost tour around the historic town. The shop is clean, has a vintage feel, and offers an array of ice cream flavors and other chocolate snacks. I had the cookies and cream milkshake both times, and both times it was amazing on a hot summer day. Overall, 10/10 absolutely recommend!! read more

Typical sweets shop. Lots of ice cream and chocolates to choose from. Staff were nice.

Kilwins is located just right outside Colonial Williamsburg attraction. Hence, you'll be paying the tourist prices. Overall, the ice cream's pretty good; They go for $6 per scoop. Blueberry's probably my favorite one. Their coffee, however, I'd stay away from. I got their latte mocha ($8) and it's possibly the worst coffee drink I've ever tasted. I'm pretty sure their milk's gone bad. Their customer service's top notch, everyone's super friendly, always willing to help & give you samples. read more

Yummmmy!! A late night sweet tooth got me here. Though there were sooo many treats to choose from! I decided to go with a chocolate milkshake which was slamming!!!! My boyfriend had the coconut and chocolate ice cream flavors- which he could not stop raving about. I wish we found out about this place sooner! The place is located in a very charming part of town and is kept tidy. They are on the pricier end but when it's good it's sooo worth it. read more

Prices are getting silly and quality is getting worse. Ice cream over the last month has been really slushy as if the freezer is broken. Been a loyal customer for a while but going to go to baskin robins now. There is also no management available when I did ask for a manager when asking about why the quality has dipped. The oweners have really let this business slip, I'm an old timer and rember it in it's hayday. read more

The ice cream here is way too expensive and I have not had positive employee interactions. They do not always have a manager on the clock so no one truly to speak to. Employees appear tired and all very young and not knowledgeable. read more

Nice location. Ordered the dark chocolate peanut butter cup. I got back and it wasn't dark chocolate that I asked for it was Milk chocolate, Could not go back was raining. Well it was a disappointment anyway , I am a peanut butter consumer and it didn't look or taste like peanut butter at all. It looked light in color like margarine and tasted like they took a dollop of peanut butter and mixed it with confectionery sugar therefore it has a weird non peanut butter taste. At $5.99 a piece I expect the peanut butter to taste and stick to the roof of my mouth. If I wanted cheap I could have gone to a convenience store for the mass produced chocolate less than half the price. I wanted homemade as a treat and it was not at all. Will not be going back. Reason, if you skimp on that what else is being skimped on. read more

Tried the colonial mud and chocolate peanut butter flavors and both were incredible. You're greeted with an amazing smell when you enter the doors and racks of different chocolates that all look so good. Each server was very nice and samples were available and encouraged read more

We had a wonderful time shopping for chocolate and treats for Christmas. Service was wonderful and friendly ! They had my favorite maple creams, which most locations no longer carry ! read more

This place is a tourist trap. Way over priced. Some of the worst ice cream I have ever tried was the double berry pie. It seemed to have no sugar in it. read more

This place is really cool it gives you an old time ice cream soda shop fuel with fresh fudge being made on site. They have a wide variety of ice cream and chocolate and chocolate fudge. The service there is amazing people are really nice and the overall feel of the place gives a look of an old style ice cream shop great place to go when you're downtown Williamsburg, and want something sweet read more

What a delightful find in downtown Williamsburg. I love everything this shop has to offer from handmade chocolates, candies apples, fresh marshmallows to their delicious and creamy ice cream. I tried their blueberry waffle cone and apple pie ice cream. Both are delicious in their own category. I highly recommend thiS shop and their delightful staff. read more

We ducked in before closing for a couple of scoops on the way back to our hotel after dinner. All of the shop made candies and fudge looked and smelled spectacular. Due to good allergy, I couldn't enjoy those items, but they were very careful to change the ice cream scoop without prompting for me to ensure no cross contamination. My vanilla bean was excellent and my husband enjoyed his sugar free vanilla with salted caramel swirl. We would definitely visit again if we happen to find ourselves in Merchant Square again! read more

Over priced. Marginal at best candy and ice cream. Bought 5 buckeyes and one double scoop of ice cream, over $23. Ridiculous. The buckeyes were not very good, tasted less then store bought and they hammered me for $2.50 for each one. I didn't understand it was per piece and buy the time it was rung up I didn't complain. Should have said keep them. It's not a 1/4 pound. Which would put the chocolate at around $50 a pound. No way in world this chocolate deserves that pricing. It was gritty not creamy. As for the ice cream. Vanilla was tasty, no complaints, the pistachio, the nuts were stale which gives them a bitter taste. Just beware what the prices are. $2.50 for a little buckeye. They should be ashamed and I'm embarrassed that I didn't speak up and tell them to keep them. read more

I'm gonna make this review short and sweet just like my visit at Kilwins. After dinner down the street my party and I wanted something sweet to end the night. It was a cold night and my friend had talked about always getting hot chocolate here so we made a bee line straight to their door. The smell alone could satiate a sweet tooth. It was lovely and chocolatey. They offer a TON of things from their ice cream to candied apples to fudge and so on and so forth. We were still a bit full from our dinner so we all just got hot chocolates. They offer a few syrups to flavor your hot chocolate and I opted for the raspberry one. I don't quite remember what the others ordered but it was a group vote that mine was the best. Raspberry and chocolate are just meant to be together! I can't wait for another visit to try more of their sweets! read more

Oh my goodness! It's so good! CHOCOLATE, candy and ice cream... what could go wrong... you can the covid 10? Ha! The fudge is nice and creamy! I did not have the ice cream but, it look so good! So good! The flavor options for both the fudge and ice cream were unique and also "normal". I like options. The pricing was on point... enough that it would not break the back to go back the next day. The shop is a little tiny, so be know. That there maybe some covid rules and restrictions. We were able to find parking in the street pretty quick. I recommend stopping here for a nice sweet treat to satisfy those cravings or stress eating a lot of us have been doing lately. read more
