Your Local Philadelphia Kilwins Store

We’re the best chocolate, fudge, and ice cream store in Philadelphia.

When you need to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Kilwins is the place to be. Our assortment of sweets includes premium chocolates, our Mackinac Island Fudge, caramel apples, and more. Kilwins is the perfect place to treat yourself, a friend, or a family member to a classic, handcrafted dessert.

Many of our products are handcrafted by our team of professional confectioners. We use old proprietary recipes that were developed by our founders in the 1940s. Each product is specially made using first-rate ingredients and made with love.

Witness the magic of fudge-making from inside our store or from our large outside window. Our team members use traditional hand-paddling techniques to craft each flavor of our signature fudge. If you’re lucky, you can even try a piece straight off the counter!

The historic city of Philadelphia is famous for its cultural and artistic marvels. There’s never a dull moment in Philly, from extravagant festivals and events to relaxing outdoor getaways. 

Our products are the perfect complement to a day out in Philly. Enjoy a bite of our handcrafted fudge before heading to Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens or share a bag of traditionally made caramel corn after watching the Philadelphia 76ers or the Philadelphia Flyers. 

Through the Doors of Our Philadelphia Chocolate Store

In 1947, Don and Katy Kilwin opened the first Kilwins store in Michigan, which allowed them to share their passion for candy-making with others. Today, Kilwins is proud to call Philadelphia home.

Stepping inside our Philadelphia chocolate store is an experience in and of itself. If you come in, you might just get to watch our dessert artists hard at work making your favorite snacks.

The smells of chocolate, fudge, and waffle cones are enough to make your mouth water. The waffle cones, like our fudge and many chocolates, are made by hand. While we’ve added and upgraded our appliances to meet growing demand and modern possibilities, we believe that maintaining the classic tools is a large part of what makes our Kilwins chocolates so special. 

Looking for fruit with a new flavor? Try the Kilwins caramel apples, all made right here in our store. We call them our perfect caramel apples because of their taste and appearance—basically, they’re flawless.

We only select the best Granny Smith apples to be our base, which we hand-dip in our handcrafted caramel. The result is a delicious piece of caramel goodness that can also be enjoyed with a coating of milk chocolate, nuts, and more.

We’re More Than Chocolate: Your Favorite Ice Cream Store in Philadelphia

When days get hot in Philly, drop by our Philadelphia ice cream store to cool down. Kilwins is home to a wide variety of super-premium flavors, all of which are kosher-certified. Made with the finest ingredients, our Original Recipe Ice Cream boasts a richness that no other ice cream parlor can replicate.

We first introduced ice cream to our menu in 1985. We keep our fan-favorite chocolate, vanilla, mint chocolate chip, and other classics while also bringing in new, creative, and limited-edition flavors for our Philly neighbors. 

Pair your scoop with any of our delicious toppings, including chocolate chips, nuts, our signature caramel and hot fudge, and more. Then, our waffle cones and bowls make the perfect base for your ice cream. We make our waffle cones and bowls right here behind the counter of our Philadelphia chocolate store. We use hand-mixed batter and traditional waffle irons to give you a fresh, crispy cone every time. 

What Makes Kilwins Ice Cream Super Premium?

We only bring our ice cream to our Philadelphia ice cream store when it meets our very high standards, and it is considered super-premium based on the recipe used.

First, we use only the finest ingredients to serve as our ice cream’s foundation. Additionally, Kilwins operates our own climate-controlled vehicles. Our trucks regulate our ice cream’s temperature and prevent it from melting (or freezing too much) before it reaches our Philadelphia ice cream store. 

This process results in the extra-smooth scoops of kosher-certified ice cream that our customers know and love.
