Welcome to Kilwins Key West chocolate store, where we have the best chocolate, fudge, and ice cream in the Florida Keys. Set among the colorful streets and unique charm of this beloved destination is a sweet shop like no other, with a reputation for premium products and outstanding customer service.
At Kilwins, we pride ourselves on crafting the finest confections, with a tradition of excellence that dates back to 1947. Everything we make starts with the best ingredients as the foundation, from our rich Mackinac Island Fudge to our silky smooth Heritage chocolates. Try our take on the classic turtle chocolates with our TUTTLE™, combining nuts, caramel, and chocolate in a totally new way.
Similarly, we take caramel apples to a new level, selecting only the best Granny Smith apples, hand-dipping them in caramel, and coating them with our hand-made toppings. We still use our Heritage equipment, combined with modern methods, to maintain our exceptional standards. Come to Kilwins to taste the difference tradition makes in our modern day.
Our store is more than just a place to buy sweets; it's a place where old memories are revisited and new ones are made. We enjoy bringing a smile to our customers' faces and making their day better. Many of our customers began taking trips to their local Kilwins as children and have continued to come back. Now, they bring their children to Kilwins for a sundae or an ice cream cone after a long, hot day soaking up the Florida sun.
Since we opened, Kilwins Key West chocolate store has been known for our dedication to quality and tradition. Kilwins founders, Don and Katy Kilwin, started with a simple idea: treat others how you want to be treated, work hard, and have fun. Over the decades, Kilwins has grown, but our commitment to quality remains unchanged. It’s this dedication that’s earned us a loyal following and a reputation for being the best in the business.
While you’re in town, stop by Kilwins to pick up something to enhance your Key West experience. For example, savor our famous Mackinac Island fudge while window shopping on Duval Street. Are you planning a night out on the town? Stop in to snag a bag of our caramel corn (made in real copper kettles) to enjoy during a show at the Tropic Cinema or while participating in one of our local pub crawls or ghost tours.
But don’t feel rushed! Customers are welcome to stick around and watch our team members at work whipping up the next batch of sweet treats behind the glass. Or pull up a chair and stay a while! This Kilwins Key West chocolate store is a great spot to take in the local atmosphere at one of our outdoor tables. We want every visit to Kilwins to be a special occasion.
At the Kilwins Key West ice cream store, we’re known for more than just our chocolates; our Original Recipe ice cream is equally celebrated. We believe the proof is in the process, and our ice cream process starts with the freshest milk and cream from family farms. We also keep our ice cream at the ideal temperature and consistency with specialized, custom-made equipment and transport vehicles so that it’s just right when it gets to you. Each scoop is a testament to our passion for creating frozen treats.
Our Key West ice cream store is located in the heart of the city, making it a convenient stop for visitors sight-seeing and exploring the area. We recommend one of our milkshakes to sip on while strolling down Duval Street or take your ice cream in one of our hand-rolled waffle cones as you take a break from the sun in Mallory Square. And if you’re not sure which of our many flavors to try? A friendly staff member is happy to provide samples to help you narrow down your selection.
Kilwins ice cream is Kosher-certified and made with the utmost care. We use specialty equipment that continually monitors temperature and consistency. Our selection of flavors caters to every palate. We have your go-to menu items like chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. We also have more adventurous options that blend flavors and ingredients. Whatever your flavor, you can take it a step further with a variety of toppings, sauces, and mix-ins that can be added to your ice cream, allowing you to create a one-of-a-kind ice cream treat.
Our Key West ice cream store is special because we serve our exclusive Original Recipe ice cream, which you can only get from Kilwins stores. It has a rich, creamy texture and comes in dozens of flavors and combinations.
Our Original Recipe ice cream is made with fresh milk from local family farms and is Kosher-certified. We put a lot of care into making it, but it doesn’t stop there. After making it, we use custom-designed ice cream tubs to maintain the ideal consistency. The endless array of toppings at our Key West ice cream store is perfect to “top off” your customized treat.
Our daily selection varies but includes classic milk, dark, and white chocolate. You’ll also find truffles, chocolate-covered caramels, and chocolate nut clusters. Plus, we whip up a variety of chocolate-dipped treats, such as pretzels, cookies, marshmallows, and fruit.
