Kilwin’s

CLOSED/​MOVED
Went by this shop on 10/​10/​2014 and the shop was closed, the windows and doors covered with brown paper. The sign was still there.
After a phone call (and luckily an answer), the person on the other side mentioned they had moved across from the Marriot Stanton South Beach, the address being 161 Ocean Drive. I cannot confirm this information, and there is no business information for the new address.
So take this for what is worth…

91 degree heat and probably 100% humidity feeling like 110 degrees. The most refreshing thing we did on Lincoln road was making the rest stop at Kilwins.
After a few fudge samples we went straight for the ice cream. She had the chocolate banana cream and I had the pumpkin pie ice cream. Strange having pumpkin in Miami Florida but it was damn good. With little chunks of pie crust mixed in, I became an instant fan.
A must visit while in the scorching heat.

Your average ice cream and cookie store with truffle selections. We ordered the Miami Beach Mud ice cream in a waffle cone and some truffles, they were okay and a bit over priced.
Not worth the drive or price in my opinion but some may disagree.

It’s taken me far too long to write a review for Kilwin’s, but this place is my jam. It’s open late, although honestly not late enough given the typical night out of Miami Beach. But after years of living on the beach, it stood fast as my go-​to place to satisfy a sweet tooth. The selection of ice cream is solid, and the portions are ridiculously large. The fact that they can be piled high into freshly made waffle bowls seals it for me, although maybe it’s the vat of hot fudge that finally does me in. I’ve had the fudge a few times as well, and it is also excellently made. At the very least, make sure to get a sample of it before heading out.
With all that said, I would caution against getting any of the pre-​made boxes on the shelves. I think those are quite overpriced, and you can get similar quality chocolate elsewhere. Stick with the fresh fare; it’s definitely worth it.

I stopped in to grab a cone while in South Beach after Ultra Ended. Honestly, I was surprised they were still open but Miami doesn’t sleep like Orange County does. However, while walking the Lincoln Road Mall I heard EDM and decided to find the source. Daphne gave me some samples to try and I ended up getting the Maple Walnut Ice Cream. The ice cream here is really good! :-)

I was so excited to try this place out because of the reviews it got, but honestly I don’t get the hype. If you’re looking to have good ice cream, then by all means, come here (and get the waffle cone bec that is definitely worth the splurge). However, if you’re looking to get chocolate, I’d go to CVS. I paid $ 7 for 3 pieces of the milk chocolate turtles (I think they call it Tuttle). It was not good. I love me some chocolate, but this one actually tasted bad. It’s priced per LB and it’s ridiculous how heavy one piece is. This place is really overpriced, so make sure you pick right.

Best Ice Cream on the beach hands down. Try the salted caramel milkshake it is amazing. And it is open till 2 am on the weekends so it makes for a perfect late night dessert if you are out late.

We had a bad experience here. We got an ice cream cone and the ice cream was obviously freezer burnt – it had little ice crystals throughout. We went right back in and asked for a different flavor, and they refused. Too bad.

Anybody who has walked past the place has probably been greeted by the amazing smell coming out from Kilwins.
The caramel apples are delicious and the staff is welcoming and friendly. I look forward to trying more of their great treats in the future and I’ll certainly be back for another apple as well.

Not a big fan of a lot places in Lincoln Rd. I think many of them are a tourist trap, over cooked, over seasoned, over priced food. But there are a few spots that I really enjoy, and this is one of them.
Kilwin’s is great. Specially in hot days. The ice cream is delicious and the assortment of sweets, starring at you through the glass, are just too tempting not to try. The home made fudge is really good and Oh! did I mention the ice cream is really good? My favorite, the South Beach mud, is a concoction of chocolate, vanilla and caramel that is just to die for.

So chocolatey!
I came here after dinner for a nice sweet treat and picked up a piece of salted caramel fudge and some coconut clusters. Both were super tasty and fresh and I wish I had gotten more.
I felt like a kid as I stared at the glass case of all of the chocolate delicacies they offered. They make everything onsite so it was cool to watch them make fresh waffle cones and fudge as we waited in line. Definitely worth a stop inside, if only to smell it– that’s how I got lured!

This place has a follow that has been around since 1947! Aside from that, they offer great desserts ranging from sorbet to fudge and ice cream. My friends who live here in Miami showed it to me about 1:45am on Friday night which was a treat after going to SushiSamba.
I sampled the salted dark chocolate and had some lemon sorbet which tasted delicious. It was light and not overwhelming with lemon flavor whereas my friends got the birthday cake ice cream cones. I think we all were pretty satisfied with what we chose. Pricing is a bit high which is to be expected for Lincoln Road, but well worth it for the experience in South Beach.
Word to the wise — if you love chocolate, you will find your heaven here.

Delicious! Chocolate galore!
The Toasted Coconut fudge is heavenly! A great combo and the coconut tasted really fresh. I also tried the Milk chocolate with nuts and that was really good too. They had a buy 2 get one free so I bought 2 Toasted Coconuts and 1 Milk Chocolate Fudge.
I also had a chance to try the Coconut Ice Cream, wow! I live in California, and if I could I would ask them to ship the ice cream to me! Again the coconut tasted fresh with the choc chips with the vanilla ice cream, it was a perfect combo.
Kilwins — maybe try out a location in California? Just a thought. if you do, I would be there in a heart beat! Yum!

First off, let me just be honest to start off – this place is a total tourist trap! Everything here is actually amazing, just the same. In this place, if it looks good it is good. However, the tourist trap part is when it comes to prices. «Omg, that is the biggest scoop I’ve ever seen!» and in that moment the server turns around to weigh it! Yikes!
The service here is excellent, in fact, freakishly so. I would be shocked if the workers were not on commission. They were like drug pushers in there – try this, try that, before you know it the sample’s in your hand and you’re like «daaaaang, this is the best _​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​ (fill in the blank) I’ve ever had»! Whoa, whoa, whoa there, I say to you! Watch yourself little tourist. Did you not hear me say that they are going to weigh all of the yummies. Your response – «So what if they weigh it, I mean what’s the price anyway?» What’s the price? Well, WHO KNOWS! The price aint posted, my little tourist friend. The price AINT posted. Double yikes!
Your mouth still watering from the sample of that amazing coconut ice cream? Mine is too, and I had a whole scoop last night. I would’ve hoarded a bit in my fat girl cheeks if I could’ve, you know, sort of like a squirrel, then I’d still have a taste of it left for today. Well anyhow, how much was my scoop? You wanna know? You realllly wanna know? Too bad! Know what I did find out last night? The fudge is around $ 7.95 a piece. Was the salted caramel fudge sample amazing? Yup! Did the girl in front of me walk away after hearing the price? Yup! Would I have done the same? YUP YUP!
So, what the hell do you do when you are in Kilwin’s and hungry as a hostage? Restraint, little grasshopper, *ahem*, I mean tourist, restraint. Get your freakin’ ice cream and keep it moving, little Ms. (or Mr.) Shallow Pockets. Maybe you can have one of those $.99 caramels at the register, or maybe a $ 1+ caramel chocolate pretzel stick, or maybe even a caramel pretzel stick with pecans. The short of it is, if you don’t see the price, don’t be a fool, either ask or keep moving.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot, how much was my ice cream last night? My coconut ice cream in a waffle cone plus my boyfriend’s coconut ice cream in a waffle cone with almond topping was $ 11 something.
Also, just in case you’re wondering what kind of crack they dole out at Kilwin’s in the first place, here goes – gourmet caramel apples, homemade caramels, homemade gigantic pecan chocolate turtles, homemade caramel-​covered pretzels, homemade fudge sold in pre-​portioned blocks, chocolate-​covered oreos, chocolate-​covered graham crackers, chocolate and nut-​covered marshmallows, chocolate caramel waffle cone cookies, a handful of who-​cares-​what-​flavor ice cream varieties, and the best coconut ice cream you’ll ever have.
So, Tourist Pants, you go to Kilwin’s for the coconut ice cream. Don’t like coconut? Too bad. EAT IT! Eat the ice cream! Eat the damn ice cream, Anna Mae! Oh wait, what was I talking about? I think I had a moment there. Just go get your coconut ice cream, ok. Stop asking so many questions!

Las nieves no le piden nada a las famosas y estan mas varatas el cono de wafle sencillo 4.95 tambien compre un maple walnut, que es como una barra de chocolate dulce a 14.95 la libra pague 7.03 pero me regalaron otra estan bien grandes las barras de chocolate pero demasiado dulces

This was my first visit to Kilwin’s in Miami Beach. I have been the store in Naples several times and fell in love with their ice cream since that first visit. The store is perfect after a stroll in Lincoln Road.
The waffle cones are freshly made. They are delicious to have your ice cream on. Sizes are single or double scoop. Single may be little to some, so double-​check with your server. Single is perfect for me.
My favorite flavors are New Orleans praline pecan and old-​fashioned vanilla. The ice cream texture is perfect. Soft, velvety. rich. The flavor itself is fantastic. The praline one is has caramel swirl and lots of pralines. *party in my mouth*
The fudge and other sweet goods seem to be popular items. However, I have never tried them. Perhaps in the near future I’d be more adventurous…

Five Stars for the chocolate goodness that I love and will always be first in my heart, which they have.
Ordered the marshmallow dipped in white chocolate and it was gooooddd. I know its simple and sweet but so what if that was all it take to sweep my heart away… I wish they had this store in New York…
Hear me? New York,

Leckerer Schokoladenladen mitten auf der Lincoln Road. Es gibt außer Schokolade in allen Variationen auch Eiscreme.

It is almost nearly impossible to walk by this place on Lincoln road and not go in. i was so tempted to just look inside but when I saw these huge fresh made carmel and m&m apples I just had to have one. The carmel was so amazing the combination of the carmel, with the crunchy chocolate m&m’s I was in heaven. Place is amazing they also have specials everyday of the week.

An old-​fashioned bakery and confectionary filled with chocolate, caramel, toffee, brittles, and dream-​like fudge inside.
I kind of went all out during my stop and got the caramel covered rice krispie treat rolled in pecans on a stick​.mmHmm​.it was SERIOUS, folks! They even have a selection of ice cream that you can turn into your very own custom milkshake!
Kilwin’s is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth craving!

My heart stopped with happiness when I realized that Kilwin’s is here in Miami. OK I am not going to tell you that I know that it has been here for x amount of time because only now I am frequenting South Beach and Lincoln road more.
So once it hit that we have this amazing deliciousness here (we always have been fans of these shops in St. Augustine) I was happier than a pig in mud on a hot summer day.
I floated in, yes just like in the cartoons when a character smells deliciousness and floats in nose first, yes that was me.
Even if its to stand inside and enjoy the scent of the amazing sweets its a nice place to stop by.
I *heart* their fudge!

One of the highlights of our trips up north to St Augustine has always been the obligatory stop at Kilwin’s and the shameless enjoyment of our ice cream of choice scooped in their wonderful waffle cones.
And of course, no sugar induced high is complete without a shameless consumption of some extremely sweet and fantastically good fudge.
I can now enjoy Kilwin’s in So Be and then walk off the calories around Lincoln Road, although, calories are the least of my worries when I go to Kilwin’s because Chocolate gives me an amazing kick of endorphins and that is what life is all about.
