After perfecting their chocolate, the Kilwin family founded the first store in 1947 and served sweets crafted with the finest ingredients. Today, our store owners and franchisees continue the legacy of exceptional confectionery skills and customer service. Many of our confections are still made in our stores throughout the week.

Kilwins Waffle Cones

Our Upper Thames Newport ice cream store offers our Original Recipe Ice Cream in a wide variety of flavors, from classics like chocolate and vanilla to modern and seasonal flavors. All are best enjoyed in our waffle cones and bowls. 

At Kilwins, we make waffle cones by hand in the traditional way. This process involves mixing a rich batter and pouring it onto a hot waffle iron. Once the batter is baked to a golden crisp, we carefully shape each cone while still warm around a hand-held cone mold. The result is a fresh, crisp, and delicious cone.
