When looking for something extra special, you need more than chocolate from your local convenience store. At Kilwins, we add that extra care to our chocolate, taking it from ordinary to extraordinary. We've been making memories in Florida since 1985—one of many reasons Kilwins is considered the best chocolate store in Sarasota.
Visit the Kilwins Sarasota chocolate store, conveniently located on John Ringling Boulevard. It’s home to our selection of handcrafted chocolates, velvety fudge, and buttery caramel. Add on truffles, nut clusters, and ice cream for a full taste of what we can do here at Kilwins. Everything we make is lovingly crafted from our traditional family recipes, and our unmistakable flavors can turn the dullest day into an adventure.
The first Kilwins store opened its doors in 1947 with one goal: to make the best possible chocolates and serve the community with a smile. Today, we’ve combined that heritage with modern business practices, molding the past and the present to create the unique Kilwin’s chocolate flavors we’re known for nationwide.
Our chocolate bars are a national treasure, and many consider our boxed chocolate the ultimate gift for any occasion. We hand-craft our truffles and hand-drop our clusters to create the perfect treat. No matter which of our confections you choose, you know you can trust the Kilwins quality and flavor.
These confections owe their excellence to our blend of tradition and innovation. We still use our Heritage equipment, combined with modern methods, to maintain our exceptional standards at every store with every order. Our values are as strong today as they were almost 80 years ago, and we control every stage of product production and delivery. Our specialized trucks and storage techniques maintain the ideal temperature and humidity. That way, you get the same fresh flavors that were present when we crafted your chocolate.
Although we’ve upgraded some of our molding and coating processes over the years, we keep the original Kilwins values in everything we create. Creating happiness is at the heart of everything we do, and our dedicated franchisees across the country live this goal every day. Kilwins Sarasota is no different. We reflect generations of the Kilwins culture in everything we do.

No matter what you like, you’re sure to find a chocolate, fudge, or truffle flavor that fits the bill. Our commitment to creating one-of-a-kind confections using only the finest quality ingredients remains unchanged since 1947. At Kilwins Sarasota, we want to go beyond sweet treats and make lasting memories. Every one of our products is hand-crafted with care for the kind of delicacies you expect when on St. Armands Circle. You’ll want to relive each bite again and again.

Florida summers are full of long beach days, followed by ice cream with friends and loved ones. Our fresh, one-of-a-kind flavors cater to everyone. Our smooth, creamy traditional flavors like vanilla and chocolate transport you back to your childhood. If you're craving something more adventurous, we'll have a flavor that gets you thinking outside the box. Our sherberts and fruit-inspired ice creams are crowd pleasers, but don’t forget to ask about our limited edition offerings!
Our ice cream recipe dates back to 1985—not quite as old as our chocolates and fudge—but it’s enough time to show that our quality recipe and techniques are strong enough to stand on their own. 75 years from now, our ice cream will still be a critical part of beating the Florida summer heat.
A day in the sun is only complete after you’ve tasted Kilwins’ original recipe ice cream. When only the extraordinary will do, a trip to our Sarasota ice cream store is in order.
At Kilwins, we go beyond what is merely expected for ice cream. We've combined years of expertise to create a gourmet ice cream selection.
We create our range of Kosher-certified ice cream flavors using only the freshest milk and cream from our family farms. We use a premium base and combine it with the highest quality ingredients to make our rich flavors.
Our goal is to create flavors that challenge the possible while also using the same methods and care that made Kilwins the icon it is today. To maintain this quality, as soon as we've made your ice cream, we store and transport it in a temperature-controlled environment, locking in every ounce of freshness and flavor.
Our handmade waffle cones add a delightful sensation. Pair our cones with your favorite ice cream flavor to experience the unique sensation of cold and crunch. Now, all that’s left to do is to sit back and relax. Enjoy your ice cream as you look out the window of the Bay Runner Trolley or stroll through the Statue Walk. A trip to St. Armands Circle asks us to treat ourselves, take a moment to breathe, and appreciate the beauty around us.

When it comes to picking a Sarasota ice cream store, the only real choice is Kilwins. Thanks to our dedication to ingredients and customer experience, we can’t help but stand out. Every cup or cone at Kilwins was made with care and served with love. We call our ice cream “Super-Premium,” but that almost doesn’t do it enough justice. Kilwins ice cream is consistently creamy and made from our proprietary recipe. The premium base would be excellent all on its own, but adding in toppings takes it to the next level. Our Kosher-certified ice cream pairs amazingly well with add-ons like caramel, chocolate chips, fudge, nuts, and more. Enjoy your cone as you walk the edge of the Sarasota Bay or enjoy it on a bench, watching people stroll by.
At our Sarasota chocolate store, people love caramels, truffles, and nut clusters, and our classics—milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate. Chocolate lovers who sampled chocolate all over the globe still call ours the best, and we think you’ll agree.
Yes, of course. Our Sarasota location is happy to help design custom pieces for your occasions. In particular, we excel at putting together one-of-a-kind gift baskets, party favors, or a custom chocolate assortment.
We find that our most popular items at Sarasota’s Kilwins are Mackinac Island Fudge (our signature recipe), our “perfect” caramel apples, and truffles. Hand-crafted chocolates and our line of chocolate-dipped desserts like cookies, marshmallows, and pretzels delight even the pickiest of eaters.
The Kilwins in Sarasota has new products regularly coming through our doors. Our holiday-themed chocolates or gift baskets have a significant “wow” factor, and limited-edition ice cream flavors make every passing season a bit more magical.
We do! When you go to our Sarasota Kilwins store, ask about a gift card. A team member can help connect you with a gift card that says precisely what you want it to. Your loved ones can treat themselves to their favorite treat at our Sarasota chocolate or ice cream store—or any Kilwins near them.
