An iconic spot for the sweet tooth aficionado! Or just someone who appreciates good candy. Set in charming downtown Franklin, Kilwins is a “must do” when visiting downtown Franklin. Their fudge and Carmel apples are so good.

Your one-stop candy and gift shop! Located in downtown Franklin, you will find a delicious candy, ice cream, fudge, chocolate, and gift shop to explore. Come in for a gift, a treat, or a cold refreshing milkshake. As you walk in, you often find homemade peanut brittle being made that smells so great!

Great weekend visit to Franklin TN - Puckett’s for lunch & Kilwins for dessert. Delicious! 👍🏻

Excellent flavor on all of its ice creams, especially the New Orleans praline. The portions are good and the service is excellent. There are several other things to purchase there including a 10lb chocolate bar and caramel dipped apples. The only complain I have is the prices. They are ridiculously high and I do not think they should be. I think it is theFranklin tax you pay. Just hike the price because it is Franklin. Still the taste is amazing though. I definitely recommend it.

Ice-cream and freshly made candies from yesteryear. If you get lucky you can watch caramel or other confections being poured out on a slab and let your nose indulge, too. Gave my Mom pre-boxed Pecan Turtles at Christmas and Mom commented they were good, but not as fresh tasting as those you bought when we were downtown at the theatre a couple of years ago. Sure enough, my box tasted off. I had just given another box to a friend weeks earlier that were divine. I contacted the store and was offered two replacement boxes. I opted for Snappers (I sensed the off taste was in the chocolate and not the pecans.) They were individually wrapped and the best candy I have ever eaten. Fresh, crunchy pecans in a puddle of chewy buttery caramel.Lovely store, lovely folks. Thanks for the terrific customer service.

Very expensive milkshake and lemonade. $10.99 for a plain vanilla milkshake and $4.50 for a plain lemonade. We knew with it being a specialty shop, it would be a little more expensive but $10.99 for a plain vanilla milkshake was a shocker. I am not sure if this is their price or if we were over charged but the employee checking us out didnt say anything if the price wasnt right. It is a cute store and has some nice things but we dont feel like the cost of our items were reasonable (even for a specialty shop). Dont recommend buying drinks here.

We just recently visited this ice cream shop. With our sons peanut allergy we have to be extra careful to make sure no cross contamination or any peanuts. The worker scooping the ice cream was very polite and got a new tub of vanilla ice cream and a whole new scoop to use to prevent cross contamination happening. Definitely recommend them.

After nearly 2 years of living in the area, I finally stopped by about 2 weeks ago, and OH. MY. GOD. This place is AWESOME!!!! The fudge is TO DIE FOR, and the Koolers (which is lemon or raspberry sorbetto blended with sprite and you can mix them of you want) are such a REFRESHING and light, but satisfying drink. If youre in the square hanging out with family or friends, and dont stop by here, then you are MISSING OUT period! 10/10 for sure, and if i could give them 10 stars I ABSOLUTELY WOULD!!! The treats are top quality, and the staff are SO GRACIOUS!!!!! Also, you can get free samples of the fudge and ice creams, so like, why wouldnt you stop by?!?!?! Get to Kilwins Franklin, and I PROMISE you wont regret it!

Thanks to the wonderful service at Kilwins I was able to provide delicious Valentine’s Day treats for my grandchildren in Franklin, TN. The staff was helpful and courteous. I will definitely shop there again!

Went inside to get some fudge, only to hear one of the managers yell at their employees who are children by the way. The teenagers looked to be 15-17 years old. The reason for her scolding them was completely unnecessary and walked out of the building shortly after. May I remind you, me- and everyone else inside the building heard her. Because she yelled at them at the front desk in front of young children. I will NOT be supporting an establishment who treats their employees so poorly.

Sample all the flavors you want, then, just order the Toasted Coconut! My favorite for years! (But the sea salt caramel is a close second!)

Space can get a little tight at times when there are a bunch of customers, but the staff are super friendly and the line moves along fairly smoothly. We only tried their Superman flavor ice cream in a waffle cone, but the kids liked it a lot. Definitely a place to try out on Main Street in Franklin when youre there. They have a great selection of candy apples too.

Toasted coconut chocolate!!!

Review №34

Ice cream was not great just ok...coconut chocolate was excellent but the strawberry and raspberry sorbet didnt have that nice berry flavor. Chocolate ice cream doesnt have deep chocolate flavor. I didnt try anything other than ice cream. Also it was pretty pricey...21 for three ice creams with two scoops each.

Review №35

Customer service was lazy and made me feel like I was intruding on their night instead of like a valued customer. If I ask for an orangeade the appropriate response is not “we don’t have fruit” and “we just cleaned the machine.” Was very disappointed in this experience especially since I’ve been to Kilwins many times and have previously had good experiences. The one worker who said this to me was the same worker who I had a similar experience with last time but I let it go because I figured she was new. I’m sure I’m not the first person she’s treated this way and I’m sure I won’t be the last. She makes the whole company look bad and discouraged any desire I had for coming back to this establishment.

Review №37

We go for one reason, the apples. Their Carmel apples are unbelievable. They are best to eat when youre there and ask them to cut it up for you. Of course the fudge is wonderful as well, but you can eat healthy by having an apple. Oh and dont forget the ice cream. Oh and the chocolates. The staff is super friendly and always eager to help.

Yo. I generally prefer Frozen Custard over ice cream. However this place makes some amazing flavors. Its pricey so dont come here if youre broke. But if youre trying to spoil another human, definitely bring them here. Unless theyre lactose intolerant.

Friendly, clean, entertaining shop for all your fudge/ice cream/candy needs! Smiling folks greeted us and offered samples of house-made fudge, ice cream service was prompt, clean, varied, and reasonable, and I even got to sample some delicious fudge straight off the mixing table (totally sanitary, of course). Well be back for sure!

I cannot go to downtown Franklin TN without stopping at Kilwins. Actually I am eating one of their Dark Chocolate Raspberry creams as I type. Excellent. Delicious.. OMG good. They make the fudge right in front of you. They make everything right there . People talk about the Caramel apples. Well that is one thing I have not tried yet. The brittles are also excellent.So when you do stroll through Franklin or just have a craving for the best FRESH chocolate nearby - Go here !!!

One of our favorite stops on our Nashville trip was to this candy shop in the nearby, picture-perfect town of Franklin. Fantastic fudge, try the sea salt caramel! Great ice cream and fresh waffle cones. More than that, the family that works there couldn’t be nicer. Really good shopping in this area, too.

This is a great boutique candy store and ice cream parlor. They have a small storefront shop with a great selection of ice cream, candy, and sweets. It is conveniently located in downtown Franklin in the main shopping district alongside many cool restaurants and boutique stores. To my knowledge there is no dedicated parking lot or garage, but their is ample municipal street and garage parking. A perfect stop for anyone with a sweet tooth.

Good ice cream but not special. Standard flavors. However their caramel corn ($10/bag, buy 2 get 1 free) is delicious! Go get some ice cream but also get the caramel corn. I dont know if the buy 2 offer is temporarily. I sampled the peanut brittle and thought it was very good too. More peanut than brittle like it should be. Overall worth a visit.
