Your Local Key West Kilwins Store
We’re the best chocolate, fudge, and ice cream store in Key West.
Welcome to Kilwins Key West chocolate store, where we have the best chocolate, fudge, and ice cream in the Florida Keys. Set among the colorful streets and unique charm of this beloved destination is a sweet shop like no other, with a reputation for premium products and outstanding customer service.
At Kilwins, we pride ourselves on crafting the finest confections, with a tradition of excellence that dates back to 1947. Everything we make starts with the best ingredients as the foundation, from our rich Mackinac Island Fudge to our silky smooth Heritage Chocolate. Try our take on a classic with our TUTTLE™ Nut Caramels, combining nuts, caramel, and chocolate in a totally satisfying way.
Similarly, we take caramel apples to a new level, selecting only the best Granny Smith apples, hand-dipping them in our kettle-cooked caramel, and coating them with delicious toppings. We still use some of our heritage equipment, combined with modern methods, to maintain our exceptional standards. Come to Kilwins to taste the difference tradition makes in our modern day.
Our store is more than just a place to buy sweets; it’s a place where old memories are revisited and new ones are made. We enjoy bringing a smile to our customers’ faces and making their day better. Many of our customers began taking trips to their local Kilwins as children and have continued to come back. Now, they bring their children to Kilwins for a sundae or an ice cream cone after a long, hot day soaking up the Florida sun.
Since we opened, Kilwins Key West chocolate store has been known for its dedication to quality and tradition. Kilwins founders, Don and Katy Kilwin, started with a simple idea: treat others how you want to be treated, work hard, and have fun. Over many decades, Kilwins has grown, but our commitment to quality remains unchanged. It is this dedication that has earned us a loyal following and a reputation for being the best in the business.
