Your Local West Chester Kilwins Store

Kilwins chocolate and ice cream shop exterior

We’re the best chocolate, fudge, and ice cream store in West Chester, PA.

At Kilwins, we truly believe that love is the secret ingredient. Many of our products are handcrafted in-store by our dedicated confectioners, the same way our founders made them in our original Petoskey chocolate kitchen in the 1940s. 

Many of our candies are still made with the original recipes crafted by our founders. Our Heritage Chocolate recipe is the same as it was when we opened over 75 years ago, and even our copper-kettle-cooked caramel is made using Don Kilwin’s original recipe. In our West Chester ice cream store, you can find a treat for everyone. We offer velvety chocolate truffles, chewy caramels, and even our perfect caramel apples, which are hand-dipped in our store.

Although we have certainly grown since 1947, with locations around the country, our goal is still simple: to serve the best confections to our treasured guests. It’s the same goal we’ve had since our founders opened the first Kilwins store in the 1940s, and we like to think we’ve succeeded.

Whether you’re looking for a new family tradition or trying to beat the summer heat, our West Chester chocolate store can help. Inside, our store is decorated in a cozy style, so you know you’re never far from home. We’ll make the confections while you make memories.

At Kilwins, we prioritize making some of our candies by hand. We don’t do this because it’s easier—on the contrary, making chocolate by hand is a skill that takes plenty of practice and dedication. We won’t settle for less. The careful touch of an expert chocolatier is what turns something ordinary into something extraordinary. We’re dedicated to perfection and committed to quality.

Whatever memories you’re making, Kilwins makes them sweeter. Head on over to our West Chester chocolate store and grab a scoop (or two!) of our creamy ice cream after a day of shopping, or take a slice of our hand-paddled, made-in-store Mackinac Island Fudge with you to Marshall Square Park for a picnic.

We’re More Than Chocolate: Your Favorite Ice Cream Store in West Chester, PA

Your go-to West Chester chocolate store is also your go-to West Chester ice cream store. Our very first confection may have been our 1947 Heritage Chocolate, but our Original Recipe Ice Cream, formulated in 1985, is one of our pride and joys. We still use our original recipe but continue to add new inclusions and ingredients to bring you exciting new flavors. Our creamy, rich ice cream comes in every flavor you can imagine with the choice to have it served in our warm, made-in-house waffle cones and waffle bowls. 

Our Original Recipe Ice Cream was first developed in 1985, and it was so popular that we knew it would become a lasting member of our confectionery lineup. Like many of our sweets, the base recipe has not changed since we first developed it.

Each flavor of our ice cream starts with our ultra-rich Original Recipe Ice Cream base. This base is made with only the finest ingredients, and all of our flavors are kosher-certified. Some of our limited-edition flavors incorporate rich chocolates, toasted nuts, fudge, or more seasonal items.

Our ice cream is transported in our own temperature-controlled trucks to ensure it doesn’t melt on its way to our West Chester ice cream store. The ice cream itself is packaged carefully to preserve the texture and flavor as it’s being transported.

When you open the doors to our West Chester chocolate store, we know you might feel overwhelmed by our many flavors and toppings. We invite you to enjoy our welcoming atmosphere while you find your flavor of the day and maybe even create your own Kilwins sundae. Ask for free samples to find your favorite flavors!
