Kilwin's Chocolates & Ice Cream

The headline says it all! Best everything thousands of choices. Even if you don't like sweets you'll find something at Kilwin's for you! more

Kilwins has one of the best ice cream selection in Charlotte, plus they make their own chocolates where everyone can see! more

We love going here and stop by whenever we're out and about in the area, especially when we have visitors. I love the ice cream, but the chocolates (especially the milk chocolate coated rice krispy treats) are fantastic as well. more

Awesome dessert! It's soooo yummy :) more

Every time I have visited I've not only had wonderful desserts but also really great company! Make sure you follow them on Twitter; wonderful people and the only issue I have with the place is there's too much chocolate to choose from - how to decide? more

Indulge.. You have to treat yourself from all the hard work at the gym.. this is the place to go for the Best Ice cream Fudge and Chocolate. more

Their chocolates are the worst one can possibly buy. The quality of their chocolate is almost bad as that cheap easter egg chocolate you find in dollar stores before easter. And it's not cheap, either. If you doubt me, buy a few different brands and then do a home taste test. Buy something well-known like Russell Stover, Kilwin's, and a box of Godiva. Then sample all of them. Then take into consideration the price. Then come back and tell me how wonderful Kilwin's chocolates are again. It seems to me they go out of their way to maximize profit by looking for the lowest quality chocolate they can get their hands on. Pros: none Cons: The price, paying money for the worst chocolate ever. more

I love Kilwin's. As a graduate of App State, I spent many afternoons at the Tanger Outlets eating sweets while I shopped. I especially remember the orange drinks that they had!! I can't remember what they are called, but it reminds me of the orange Popsicles with vanilla in the middle. I am pregnant and my wonderful boss brought me a rice krispy treat covered in white chocolate with sprinkles today. HOLY COW! DELICIOUS! Pros: Sweet tooth Cons: NONE!! more

I have been buying chocolate from Kilwin's for more than 6 months. The selection is fantastic with the chocolates being my favorite. if you like chocolate, ice cream, twizzle sticks, fudge, gumballs, swedish fish - you are in the right place. The selections are too vast to list here- but a visit to the store, located in the Ballantyne area just off I-485 and Johnson Rd, is well worth it. Ask for a sample of Rocky Road or Peanut Butter fudge. Peruse the holiday and gift baskets. Just go, because this is a great place to quench a sweet tooth. Pros: Great sweets, excellent location, outstanding variety Cons: None at all more

I stopped in this afternoon to beat the heat and have a scoop of ice cream. Best decision I made all day. Not only was the location nice and air conditioned but the staff was very helpful and the Blueberry Waffle Cone Ice Cream they recommended was INCREDIBLE! So good that I will be back later in the week to have them use the same ice cream to make me a milkshake (suggestion from the staff). I also sampled some of the Peanut Butter fudge and it melted in my mouth. Do yourself a favor if you are in the Ballantyne area and stop by Ballantyne Village to check this place out. Pros: Great selection, could try something different every day for a few months. Cons: None. more

I must disagree with the other reviewer. Kilwin's fudge is the best I have had from any commercial outlet. I like it even better than my Aunt Martha's homemade fudge and she's a major chocoholic so she really knows how to make chocolate deserts. The thing that I really like about Kilwin's fudge is that it is properly sweetened. Most fudge is so over sweet that it makes your mouth tingle but Kilwin's sweetened perfectly....sweet enough to taste great but not overpowering. Pros: Quality product with good service Cons: It's a little pricey but the quality makes up for that more

I grew up in youngstown and homemade chocolate and pastries are the norm there...along with other great ethnic food...but I won't go there. Anyways, I was out last night and heard some girl raving about Kilwins....I only hoped she wasn't talking to anyone who knew what great chocolate tasted like. I've gone in a few times because unfortunately it's the only place I know of in South Charlotte that has fresh chocolate. I got the fudge and I was SOOOO disappointed. The fudge is just mediocre, if you've had fudge before and you KNOW what good fudge tastes like, you will be highly disappointed. My mother-in-law...who's 100% Italian makes amazing desserts, she tasted the fudge along with me and refused to get any, for lack of respect I kept the "I told you so" from rolling off my tongue. The chocolate's ok...I usually get chocolate covered pretzel sticks....and it's a chocolate covered pretzel stick. The atmosphere is cute and it's fun to be in there and look around, but when it comes to actually eating the stuff, I'm just not impressed. I feel awful for the people who don't know what the "good stuff" is! If I only had money to open my own shop!! Pros: Only chocolate in South Charlotte Cons: Not the best out there. more
