If you have a sweet tooth, Kilwins is sure to be your new favorite place in Venice, FL. Our traditional candy shop is packed with chocolate, ice cream, and anything else you can imagine. No matter what kind of flavors you dream of, you’ll find something to enjoy at our Venice chocolate store.
The first thing you’ll probably notice about our store is the large window where you can see our chocolatiers hard at work making fudge and other chocolate treats. The second thing you’ll notice is the wonderful smell when you open the door. Our shop is filled with the pleasant aroma of melting chocolate, warm waffle cones, and sweet caramel—it’s practically paradise.
Kilwins has been delighting Americans with delicious sweets since 1947. Our original Heritage chocolates are still made using the traditional recipes developed by our founders. Stop in and enjoy our slice of Americana history, and see why sweets from Kilwins are so popular.
Our Venice ice cream store is located downtown. We are across the street from Centennial Park, where you can enjoy your ice cream cone while walking your dog or watching your kids play in the splash pad.
We’re also down the street from the Venice Theatre, a delightful venue to watch live theater and stand-up comedy. Many people stop by our Venice chocolate store after a show for a box of chocolate truffles or one of our “Perfect” Caramel Apples. Don’t worry, though—our talented employees work quickly to move through any lines that might form during popular hours.
Kilwins is proud to be a gathering place for all members of our community. Many of our customers make lasting memories right here in our store, from celebrating birthdays, job promotions, school achievements, and more. All moments big and small are worth treating yourself or a loved one to some delicious sweets.
When it comes to confections, there’s no better place than Kilwins. We craft our desserts by hand—most are made right in our Venice store. For example, our Mackinac Island Fudge and “Perfect” Caramel Apples are made fresh daily behind our candy counters. We only use fresh ingredients and trusted, Heritage recipes to create our unique chocolates.

In addition to the hundreds of chocolates available at our Venice chocolate store, Kilwins has been crafting ice cream using an original recipe since 1985, and we offer many flavors of our Super-Premium ice cream.

Customers love trying new flavors at Kilwins. We offer all the usual classics like vanilla or chocolate, as well as some more adventurous options that depend on the season. You can take your ice cream to the next level with our homemade toppings or buy a pint to enjoy at home.
Our Original Recipe Ice Cream is Kosher-certified. We make our ice cream using milk and cream from local dairy farms, and we use fair-trade chocolate. Kilwins ice cream is transported to our Venice ice cream store in temperature-controlled vans to maintain consistency and freshness. It’s no wonder people describe our ice cream as creamy, silky smooth, and Super-Premium.
Stop by our store, and you’ll be impressed with our wonderful staff. They take pride in their work and scoop generous servings of ice cream with smiles.
