We all ordered one scoop of ice cream including the three children. I enjoyed my creamy salted caramel in a cup. The ice cream was creamy and tasty. My total bill excluding cash gratuity was $44.50. My family enjoyed their ice cream so much that they returned here again for more ice cream the next day. I did not participate in their second visit because I am trying to lose some weight during our vacation. More to come regarding the rest of our vacation here.

An ice cream shop on a cute northern Michigan street, next to a beautiful harbor? I'm in. They have…read moreabout twenty different flavors, including a Michigan fudge flavor. You can choose a cup or a cone, or opt for a milkshake or sundae. They also have a lot of different handmade chocolates and truffles, as well as packaged snacks and drinks. One day, I got birthday cake ice cream here (had chunks of cake and sprinkles in it) and another day I got the best gummy worms ever to take to the pool (they were SO good). There is a little ice cream window on the outside of the shop, but I'm never sure if we're allowed to use it, as no one is usually at that window. This spot is cute, but seems to slightly change identities each year. I'm sure it's hard to have a business in such a seasonal spot, but thanks for re-opening each year, as we alwaays look forwarad to going!

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.

I also tried the Kilwin's regular chocolate fudge which was better than the Kilwin's dark (better texture) but still didn't taste as good as the Howse's fudge. The downside is that Howse's is more expensive, $14.75 per slice, so $29.50 for 2 slices, whereas Kilwin's is about $23 for 3 slices. On the day that I went, Howse's had more fudge flavor options than Kilwin's.
