You can find our Saugatuck ice cream store at the corner of two tree-lined blocks: Butler Street and Mason Street. Visitors love our ice cream cones, Mackinac Island Fudge, caramel apples, and the many other available goodies we make at Kilwins.
You’ve probably seen them enjoying their snacks and sweets while sitting on the outdoor benches outside our store or taking a stroll. Join the fun with a box of our famous Heritage chocolates or a bag of our incredible caramel corn and share them with a friend during a beautiful day in Saugatuck.
Being part of the small, welcoming community is one of our favorite things about Saugatuck. It's a special place where people support one another, embrace everything life has to offer, and value nature. We couldn’t be more appreciative that our neighbors visit us for truffles, milkshakes, chocolate-dipped cookies, fresh-squeezed fruit drinks, and a variety of other items that add happiness to their day and ours.
Kilwins has a captivating history dating back to its founding in 1947 and the love story between Don and Katy Kilwin. They started the business right here in Michigan. We’re honored to be part of their legacy. Our Saugatuck chocolate store is only about 3.5 hours from Petoskey (also known as the site of the first Kilwins store).
Kilwins has a way of planting roots in some truly special places, and the Saugatuck, Michigan, location is a prime example of that. We’re proud to be part of this breathtaking community, filled with impressive eateries, attention-grabbing scenery, friendly people, and an arts scene that inspires the artist in all of us.
Our Saugatuck chocolate store is down the block from the Kalamazoo River and Kalamazoo Lake, putting us in the perfect location for you to stop at our shop to grab goodies to take with you out on the boat.
If you'd rather stay on dry land, our Kilwins store is also less than a five-minute walk or drive from Village Square Park and Wicks Park. Enjoy an ice cream cone, cup, or bowl on your way. Or, pack some beverages or desserts for a picnic, such as our chocolate-dipped fruit or cookies or one of our fruit drinks.
We’re also minutes from multiple beaches, including Oval Beach and Douglas Beach Park, Make sure to bring a cooler to keep all your Kilwins chocolates and caramels in peak condition in the warm weather.
You’ll find much of Don’s hard work, innovative ideas, and exceptional recipes are still present today in our Saugatuck ice cream store. For example, we have Don Kilwin to thank for teaching us how to make caramel in copper kettles and Mackinac Island Fudge on marble countertops.
Our chocolate and Mackinac Island Fudge recipes have been around the longest, dating back to the late 1940s. Then, in 1985, we proudly introduced our Kosher-certified Kilwins Original Recipe Ice Cream.

Eating fantastic ice cream in a picturesque location is one of life’s true pleasures, and our Saugatuck ice cream store is an ideal place to experience that classic Mid-Century experience. Start with picking your favorite flavor: Our glass case is full of them, each in their own custom ice cream bucket to preserve their freshness, taste, and consistency. Browse our everyday flavors, but keep an eye out for our limited-edition varieties that we like to surprise customers with at any time.
We believe eating ice cream should be an experience, which is why we offer our guests a range of different flavors and toppings. From classic to limited-edition ice cream flavors, and sprinkles to hot caramel, many options are available. Customers can dream up their own ice cream creations and enjoy them in a cup, quart container, waffle cone, or waffle bowl. Or, they can request one of our popular sundaes or milkshakes (each built on our five-star Kilwins ice cream).
Our Saugatuck ice cream store is so committed to the freshest and highest quality ingredients that we get our milk and cream right from the source—local family farms. The waffle cones and bowls our customers love so much? We make those right on the premises.
We take pride in our store and we value every customer who comes through our doors. Our Saugatuck chocolate store holds onto the promises we’ve made to provide wonderful sweet treats in a family-friendly atmosphere.
