Kilwins Clearwater Beach

While this was a very clean establishment and it has great location, the staff was not very welcoming however, this was not what really what I am giving this place a solid two out of five. I came in with my fiancée a few on Monday, June 21^th, 2016 at around 10:15pm (date and time specified for owners). We were celebrating our anniversary and we went the after dinner for dessert. I order a Sunday, it was really good, nice flavor and very fairly priced. My fiancée orders a strawberry milkshake and I guess by accident an employee put spoiled milk in it, the milkshake was truly not drinkable so I went to the cashier and explained to her what had just happen to me. To my surprise-​because this does not happens anywhere in the United States– I couldn’t returned it or exchange or even get a new one without paying again. I asked the supervisor who was really rude-​I think the cashier should’ve been the supervisor– if this was true, and it was. we were having an awesome experience in the city and the beach and every one was so nice at the beach until that happen. How is it possible that in a place so nice and so centric could have so much poor customer service?

The ice cream was good. Definitely a touristy spot. It was a little pricey. $ 11 for two cones. We walked by 3 or 4 other ice cream places to get to Kilwins. They do have a huge selection of fudge and other sweets. It was good but just expensive for two cones.

We had an ice cream sundae and a double-​scoop of fudge brownie, both were excellent. Prices here are higher, but so is the quality of the ice cream. Definitely check whether there are any Unilocal check-​in deals to help you save some dough.

Kilwins is and always will be my favorite ice cream shop.
To keep it short and sweet, we were in the area and after walking around after lunch decided to stop by and get a little dessert!
I got my usual (which I haven’t had in years) — pistachio in a waffle cone. It’s the best and it never gets old.
The staff is friendly and attentive. The interior is clean.
Parking can be difficult to find. We were parked elsewhere in the area, but if you’re coming specifically to Kilwins, it might be tough finding a spot.

Kilwins is my favorite ice cream place. Any time I see a Kilwin’s, I feel obligated to stop and have a chocolate peanut butter scoop in a waffle cone. It is the most decadent treat and always hits the spot.
This particular location is located right across the street from the beach, making the ice cream an even more welcomed treat. The day I came in, the service was fast. They not only offer ice cream, but also a full home made candy shop (with fudge).
I’m not often in an area with a Kilwin’s, but when I am I always make sure to TREAT MYSELF! Do yourself a favor and do the same!

This is some tasty ice cream, but the price is crazy for FL. But it is a tourist spot, so I guess I get it. The coffee ice cream was great and the cashier was very nice.

We tried praline pecan, superman, salted caramel, and cappuccino chocolate chip. All of the flavors were very good, staff attentive and kept the line moving so we didn’t wait long at all.
They also had chocolate, popcorn and other treats for sale.

Very pleased to find out that this place was the reason for a delicious smell on the street. It was interesting to find out that they make their own waffle cones on the spot, as well as fudge. It was buy 2 pieces get 1 free, so we did just that. $ 17 for three pieces was a little pricey, but they’re fresh and true to their chocolatey taste.
The ice cream was very good as well. The chocolate fudge brownie was stuffed with little brownies and hard chocolate.
Located right in the middle of Clearwater’s main strip, definitely a good place to stop for some sweets.

The ice cream was tasty, but the prices and the service were lousy. The teenage girl behind the counter gave us icy-​cold service; not a smile to be seen. You know the feeling where the employee acts like they are doing you a favor by taking your order. When I’m paying ridiculously high prices for simple ice cream, I at least expect to be treated with kindness. How hard is it to just be nice?
As for the ice cream itself, my wife and I enjoyed the Oreo and the Cookie Dough flavors. We ordered a scoop of each of those in a cake cone, which came to $ 7 (with tax). That’s some serious coin for a simple dessert, if you ask me. But, the scoops were generously portioned, so we were able to split it between the two of us.

Nothing stands out except it’s the most expensive ice cream joint in this area. No special coldstone, blending, or topping. And they have the gull to charge $ 4.50 pet scoop!

When visiting Clearwater and St Pete’s, we kept passing Kilwins. Never had the chance to stop in for dessert. My grandma loves chocolate, so I ordered her some fudge and candy apples for Christmas.
Fudge is good. The candy apples are delicious. We got normal ones, chocolate caramel with sea salt, and candy apples with nuts on them.
Would stop by again if I’m in town and would do an online order again.

So on our little clearwater beach vacay there was tons of amazing seafood and I was in search of a little reliable candy/​ice cream shop and thanks to Unilocal,I found Kilwins, which was like a seven minute walk from our hotel and we definitely made several appearances here during our trip. I didn’t go for the ice cream even though it was hot outside because it wasn’t made on site but rather brought in here so I decided to focus on their chocolate goodies and boy, was everything amazing.
From the hazelnut chocolate truffles to the dark chocolate coconut clusters (which I’m yet to find here in Chicago) to the nutty almond toffee bars, everything tasted super fresh and amazing. I have to say that the prices aren’t cheap but you get what you pay for and I’m so happy that we found this place to satisfy my pretty in demand sweet tooth. There is a 10% off with a Unilocal check in which may help a little or at least save you on tax since all the goodies can add up.
I did try their fudge and it was a little on the over sweet side even for me so I would pass on that unless you love a lot of sugar or it would be nice if they made a dark chocolate fudge for the richer tastes of chocolate lovers. I will definitely be back and may get some ice cream next time on their freshly made waffle cones. Oh, and the people working here are super friendly which is always a big bonus in my book.

Great location on the main street that has a variety of desserts, chocolates, and ice cream. I liked that they have a variety of ice cream flavors that are unusual than most ice cream parlours. We had the following Turtle, Sea Salt, Dolce de Leche, Lemon Sorbetto.
Maybe a bit over priced for my liking tho.

Very clean and freshly prepared deserts. The employees were very curious and polite. Great beach ice cream shop.

There was so many sweets to choose from. I wasn’t sure if I wanted a caramel apple, fudge, ice cream, or candy. I decided on ice cream, but it took me awhile to decide on the flavor because there were so many to choose from. I got turtle ice cream in a waffle bowl and almost on the way out got a caramel apple with chocolate drizzle, but left without it because of the price. If I were to go back to the area I would go back and get an apple next time. I would say if you are craving ice cream that is different than chocolate and vanilla this is the place to go to get your fix.

Yummy treats and Ice cream! I had the white chocalate oreos and the milk chocalate coconuts and the cookie dough ice cream all really good. Little expensive for one scoop but I guess that’s normal for that area.

Who doesn’t enjoy an amazing ice cream cone on the beach?
After spending a few hours getting nice and golden brown on the beach and subsequently stuffing my face, I decided to take a nice stroll down Mandalay. The street is quaint and packed full of small shops. That’s when I came across Kilwins.
My eyes grew as wide as saucers and my inner fatboy was immediately drawn to the ice cream counter. While the shop is small, it is tidy, super clean, and also carries other confections such as fudge. I settled on my one true love: mint chocolate chip.
For being basically across the street from a very popular beach, the price was fair and I feel got good value, considering how many other places tend to price gouge tourists. The cone was just the right amount of sweet and held up the last bite without getting one bit soggy.
I’ve seen some negative reviews on the lack of seating. There are a few seats available out front, but with this type of cone, I felt better walking down Mandalay and stuffing my chipmunk cheeks. The experience reminded be of being back on a boardwalk in New York or the Texas coast. I was tempted to make the 35 min drive back the next day just for seconds.

Good ice cream!
Cranky worker in a green shirt. Said her grandparents make ice cream here so maybe she’s stuck in family business unwillingly.
$ 20 for 4 single scoops.
No inside seating.
Fudge and candy too.

Really good ice cream right in the thick of Clearwater. I got the cookies and cream on a waffle cone and it was quite tasty.
