Kilwin’s

This is the coolest, most unique place to go to for some amazing ice cream! I wish I remembered the name of the young man who helped us, he was a delight and so patient! Real hip feel at the place (what other ice cream shop would have Drake playing in the background?!) go here if you’re in Atlanta! ¹⁰⁄₁₀

Oh my goodness, what can I say about this place. I was pleasantly surprised! This place makes all of their own chocolates, caramel, ice cream. You name it, they have it! I posted photos of this place. First off you walk up to the door and you stand in line… on the outside of the building… this must be a huge favorite in the area because I’ve never stood in line for ice cream and chocolates. There were 2 separate lines so I got in the shorter line for some caramels. I ended up purchasing a pretzel stick with caramel and pecans… You know most pretzel sticks are really hard along with the caramel, but not these pretzel sticks. Don’t get me wrong, they were firm but not hard like that ones you get out of a bag like Snyder’s or something, the caramel was sweet and gooey, and the pecans were slightly salted… what a great balance of sweet and salty. I did taste some of the ice cream… I don’t remember the mixture I had but it was really smooth and creamy. The aroma is delightful, it smells like a bakery/​candy shop. All you smell is waffle cones, chocolate, and caramel. They also have candy apples, I didn’t get one of those but they looked amazing! They had different flavors like Reese Cup, Oreo, Snicker, Heath, just to name a few… how do they do it, don’t ask me because I don’t know. All I know is that I really wanted to try but I knew that it wouldn’t have been a good deal for me. I also purchased this turtle like patty, not exactly sure what it was called but it was walnuts/​pecans with caramel. It reminded you of a Payday bar without peanuts. It was soft and warm, sweet and gooey, and smelled great. When I go back, I definitely plan to get ice cream or a shake of some sort. P. S. Don’t be alarmed if they talk really loud, there is a lot going on in this little place like machines going off, blenders blending shakes, music, and the norm of people conversing about their level of amazement. I love it!

Their toasted coconut ice cream is hands down my favorite ice cream ever! Their blend of flavors to make the Girl Scout Samoa is heaven!

Best place to come in Atlanta if you have a sweet tooth! Their wait staff is pleasant, and the ice cream is to die for.

Still the go-​to candy and ice cream shop in Atlantic station.
I wish they had a few more flavors of sorbet (like mango!), but the ice cream selection was extensive. Our group all purchased individual single-​scoop bowls of ice cream and were all quite satisfied.
Good location, but sometimes the line is long and the service can be slow – so bring your patience. Also, there are usually a few monster-​kids running around, so be prepared for that.

Love the ice cream! The chocolate peanut butter is addictive. Nice variety of flavors. It’s also great having a chocolatier in Atlantic Station, instead of just the other (pre-​packaged) candy shop. Nice truffle selection — yum! Friendly employees. You can watch John and the crew dipping the apples, etc., even from outside through the shop window. Nice touch. And nice, enticing displays. Love the outdoor seating. Tonight the line for this place (I assume for the ice cream) was out the door! (Will post photo.) My husband went once to get me some chocolate covered strawberries, & although they didn’t have any made, they made up a box of them for him (er, me) in no time! So delicious!

Best best best chocolate shop in Atlanta! I love all of their products! I think there is no other explanation that can do it justice. Just look at the pictures!

This place was amazing. It really is like walking into Willy Wonka’s. It was really busy, but that just added to the excitement. It’s a smaller store, but they have plenty of employees on staff who were all eager to help. I really like that they make all their ice cream in house and they even have a cocktail style menu for them. I wanted peach, but they were sold out so I tried another berry pie flavor and it was delicious. Not cheap, but worth it for an occasional splurge. We’ll be back!

Great service and a friendly staff. The moment that you step through their doors, you will feel as though you have stepped into dessert Heaven for your sweet tooth…

Love, love, love it!!! My eyes opened up like a kid when I walked in! Staff is very polite and the caramel apples are to die for!

Mmmmm.
Oh my …
Pleasant staff … courteous … (important to me).
Good variety of everything decadent. Mmmmmm … my favourite chocolate place in GA.

Very good ice cream. A friend brought me here and it was everything and more. Can’t wait to visit again in the summer, I’ll try a shake next time. Customer service was also very good was greeted right away with samples of baked goods from the front end.

Delicious Ice cream and chocolates! U have to try
Staff is nice, be patient is a little crowded, but it is worth it!

If you need some sweets in your life, this is the place to be! They have a wide selection of chocolate candy, nuts mix and the ice cream is delicious. This place is perfect if your taking a gal out on a date since it is located right next to the movie theater and inside of Atlantic station with it’s central park and neato events.

Came in here after my friend really raved about the place, every single time he was talking to me. I was visiting atlanta, we stopped by this place just before my flight. Now, the ice creams were good — I had the ODB shake which was good, but the thing I loved most about this place was the mere structure and how good it looks on the inside.
It would be every chocolate lover’s — young or old, to walk into the place with a huge smile across their face. I was just looking around and I was thinking, wow, it is like a page from Charlie and the chocolate factory (that I read about 15 years ago). Every single thing around looked so good — my head was spinning seeing the variety of caramel apples — it looked incredible. The fudge tasted good — they had some samples of the pecan fudge that day.
The service was good and people were really friendly. They had some pretty good seats inside, I wish they had some more space on the outside :). My ODB shake was a really thick shake — the only advice I have is — make sure you keep stirring and get all the caramel and hot fudge which is along the walls of the shake. :D

Kilwin’s scores on variety. Lots of ice cream flavors and tons of treats. You can tell it is quality stuff and the prices reflect that. I saw the price of a candied apple (note they include actually candy bars on them) and my jaw dropped. *whew* But I was here just for the ice cream. There was a long line, but the staff moved everyone through quickly. It seems most people knew exactly what they wanted. I was not one of those people. I asked if I could sample and the employee told me yes. But she seemed so disinterested in actually helping me. Could you at least smile? Sheesh. But the cashier was totally nice and cool. :-) I didn’t really like the butter pecan. I got the banana fudge pie (even though I thought it was just OK) and cookies and cream (without sampling it just cause it is my usual go-​to choice). Didn’t really love the ice cream and wish it wasn’t so hard. Not sure if I’ll be back for ice cream. Maybe chocolate, but I’m not a big chocolate eater. I think if I am in Atlantic Station, I would rather visit Yogli Mogli.
See here for ice cream flavors:

There is no reason I should have visited Kilwin’s on my last visit to Atlantic Station. I have no will power and I knew as soon as that sweet smell hit my nostrils, I was in trouble. I was with a friend and we both decided that we’d indulge. However, I’m proud of myself. I ended up getting a peach flavored ice cream in a kid size. Yaaaayyy me! I’m a chocolate lover and I wanted to get that, but I’m trying to make better food choices, so I declined. They have ice cream, toffee, fudge, candy apples, rice crispy treats covered in chocolate. They even had this huge Easter bunny made of chocolate and we just could not wrap our minds around who would purchase it. It was on sale to for $ 199. Yikes. The place is usually busy. I imagine it will be all Summer. Tables for outdoor dining. Overall, loved the place. I’ll likely visit again and really enjoy some chocolate.

I don’t have a sweet tooth but I found myself having a rare intense craving one day. When I do, I look for dark chocolate. Since I was going to be at Atlantic Station for a movie, i decided to finally check this place out to satisfy my chocolate need. I was in a hurry but noticed different sweets that did not distract me from making a beeline to the counter with the chocolate truffles.
I got dark chocolate candies with coconut, orange peel. caramel. It was weighed and charged by weight. I was surprised that it was about $ 2 max for a piece of chocolate. Well, I got what I paid for. The dark chocolate was underwhelming. I would have been satisfied with Dove’s dark chocolate, probably. My go-​to place in Atlanta is still diAmano. HANDS. DOWN. However, if browsing around Atlantic station anyway and a sudden pang of craving shall hit me then I would not turn this down.

If you are in Atlanta, Kilwins is one of those spots you must visit, especially if you have a Sweet tooth! There is a little something for everyone… different, ice cream, candy, cake pops, candied apples, etcetera!
The store is located at Atlantic Station which is and outdoor mall off 17^th street downtown Atlanta. The mall is large enough to walk off some of that sugar while you are there and do some shopping.
Note: parking is not free. Park on the street and feed the meter or park downstairs and pay when you exit.

Kilwin’s is a family establishment filled to the brim with sweets and friendly people.
There’s such a welcoming feeling as soon as you pass through the doors. In every direction you look, you see colorful treats! Stacks of Caramel and Candy Apples to your left, sweet syrups being poured from a big pot onto pecans to your right, ice cream straight ahead, and a smiling face behind the counter asking if you’d like to try a sample of the fudge.
I’ve never had a bad experience and 9 times out of 10, even on a busy weekend night, I have always seen the owner. I remember one very cold night in particular, he welcomed us in with a big smile and offered me and my friend free cups of hot chocolate along with huge chunks of Caramel Apples. I mean, if that isn’t the true essence of southern hospitality, I don’t know what is!
Prices vary depending on what you purchase. They have premium chocolates and candy as well as the lower quality. I know I’ve walked into Kilwin’s solely on the premise to purchase good chocolates for presents for others.
Kilwin’s is a chain, but it doesn’t feel that way :)
