About Us:

Kilwins Evanston is located on Sherman Avenue right in Downtown Evanston! We offer 32 flavors of Original Recipe Ice Cream, Kilwins Heritage Chocolate, Truffles & Cremes, Caramel Corn, Brittles and made-in-store Caramel Apples, and Mackinac Island style Fudge. We have recently been deemed the winner of "Best Ice Cream" as a result of the Better.net “Best of 2019” readers’ choice awards - an annual competition that allows members of the community to indicate the businesses and organizations that they love. We would like to thank all of our loyal fans and customers for voting Kilwins Evanston as the best ice cream in all of the Chicagoland suburbs! Check us out!

Evanston Flying Turkey 5K - November 28th

We will be closed on Thanksgiving so our employees can enjoy this special time with their families and friends. However, please join us in the morning as we kick off the holiday with our family ... running the Evanston Flying Turkey 5K. (Rumor is there is something in the goodie bag from Kilwins)

If we don't see you on the racecourse, we will see you on Friday when we reopen!

Small Business Saturday - November 30th

Pick up a Shopping Passport at our store and collect stamps or signatures when you shop at participating Downtown Evanston businesses. When you spend $100 (it can be $100 at just one business or smaller amounts at multiple businesses) you can turn in the passport for a Shop Small bag with special goodies! Bring the passport to the Hyatt House Evanston (1615 Chicago Ave.) to redeem your gift!
