Beautiful interiors and the smell of chocolate make this place so inviting and a great spot to rest your feet, and exercise your taste buds.They have all kinds of fresh made sweets, include delicious fudge (the friendly employees let you sample as much as you want), nice ice cream in fresh made waffle cones, and lots of packaged treats and truffles.There is also a small seating area and good coffee and clean restrooms.A sweet tooth must in the Alamo plaza.
Major tourist attraction alert! All you have to do is walk by anytime an employee is making the waffle cones and immediately… youre attracted to walking in and having a variety of treats! So many treats and suites to choose from! There is such thing as a sugar attack and you will definitely have one here!
If you love fudge and anything covered in chocolate, this is a must. Fresh homemade waffle cones everyday. The fudge is off the hook! You can sample to find the one you like... good luck! You can buy individual or by the pound. Ice cream flavors I had never seen before. Lots of pre packaged items you can purchase. The apples ... you need one! You can actually watch them make it all right there in store.
Fudge fudge and more delicious fudge...great tasting chocolate but I was even more impressed with their customer service. I had to say no more samples please. I got to sample whatever I wanted and they are even willing to open any package to make sure you get to sample before you buy. Loved their white chocolate too, so I highly recommend this place!
Tasty cold treat. All ice creams we tried were delicious and filled with flavors and chunks of goodness! The candy selections looked decadent and will warrant a trip back to experience them.
I loved this shop. All of the staff were very helpful and polite. Not to mention the staff readily offers samples of their fudge. They had so many things to choose from including candy, chocolate, and ice cream. Great shop to visit especially on a hot day.
The smell alone draws you into this place from the sidewalk. Picked up some salted caramel fudge and a turtle rice krispy. Stop in for a sample and walk out with a bunch of goodies! Thanks Joey for the hospitality! 👍🏻
They have amazing Chocolate... everything from fudge to ice cream. Lots of choices. The store is very clean and smells good! The employees were super friendly. My kids were a bit indecisive and Ernesto was very patient. He has a great personality and really seems to love his job. He made us feel like friends and really just made our experience perfect!My son was shocked at how big this chocolate bunny was. I wish I would have taken more pics but this is all I got! ;)
10/10 possibly best chocolate candy shop I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to more than you. Employees/service was terrific and everything’s handmade from scratch right in front of you. Very kino based good.
Fantastic fudge good service and the ice cream was perfect
This place made the perfect advertising tactic by leaving their doors open.... the delicious smell of their treats wafted around me and I HAD to go in!! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by every single employee. They stopped what they were doing to acknowledge our presence. Not to mention, everything in there was delicious!! So worth the trip, and the counter staff was helpful and knowledgeable about the products.
We went after a hot day on the river walk and got ice cream and other chocolate treats. The waffle cones were freshly made and still warm. It smelled so good in there. The ice cream was really good. Also got the buckeyes, chocolate covered nutter butters, caramel corn, and Jordan almonds
The place was packed with people and had a very long line, however the team work that was displayed was awesome. All of the staff worked together and that line was the fastest line Ive ever been in! The ice cream was stellar! The candy is so good and made right in front of you. Do Kool! Loved it and will definitely be back!!
One word: YUM! My family and I enjoyed several treats a few times from this chocolate shop while on vacation. Chatted with an employee who told us the Kilwin story. I highly recommend the peanut butter cups and chocolate covered Nutter Butters.
Im used to the locations in Florida, so this Kilwins was a blast. Its larger and very clean. Their ice cream is still as delicious as I remember. Recommended.
Made a short walk to this place. Good staff and decent selection. Was able to grab some sweets then head back to our hotel.
Do not miss this amazing shop. They serve ice cream, chocolate, caramel, fudge, sodas, caramel corn, caramel apples, waffle cones... the list goes on.Staff is super friendly and accommodating. They continually offer you free samples of fudge and ice cream.Stick around and watch them make their novelties right on the spot.They have clean facilities, public restrooms, bright LED lighting, bright white tile floors and beautifully stocked shelves.Just a short walk from the river walk and the Alamo, Kilwin’s is sure to become the premier ice cream / chocolate shop in San Antonio.The best part of all is the smell of the fresh waffle cones being baked in front of your eyes. A+. A super value. Excellent quality. Fair prices. Experience the difference.
Great service! We had ice cream and a turtle marshmallow. Both excellent.
Great service. Good ice cream and fudgeUpdate 3 months later....still just as amazing. This is the best place in San Antonio. Just walk by the front doors, if the amazing smell alone isn’t enough to get you in, then the samples Should be. Our only mistake was waiting till our last night to come back here, we should have come each day. Ice cream and fudge are the best I’ve ever had anywhere. Not even close. And great service.
I would definitely recommend this ice cream shop to anybody we really really enjoyed it
Never disappoint, gonna enjoy the pecan truffle birthday gift from my daughter. Mmmmmm 😋 Granbabies enjoyed ice cream 🍨
So if you havent had their ice cream you are missing out. Normally the prices sort of drive people away I mean who wants to pay $6 or $7 for a single scoop in a waffle cone/bowl? That would be a mistake! The homemade waffle cones or bowls have a sweet flavoring unlike other waffle cones you have eaten and the ice cream flavors are amazing. Personally my favorite it toasted coconut but for chocolate lovers get the chocolate salted caramel ice cream, single scoop in a waffle bowl and ask them to add hot chocolate sauce or hot caramel sauce. Enjoy!
Perfect spot to get some ice cream cones and sit outside on their tables to enjoy the weather. We stopped by this weekend and had a nice experience watching the horse carriages passing by enjoying our ice cream. The employees were very friendly and inviting, the establishment was clean and the restrooms were spotless. Stop by and have a taste, you won’t be disappointed.
I really wish we had one of these in our city, let alone our state. The employee who helped us out, Jesse, was freaking awesome. He was super patient, answered all of our multiple questions and helped our daughters choose the perfect dessert. The ice cream is so soft and creamy and soooo many delicious flavors.
This is the perfect place to go on a cheat meal day. Dear Lord the smells are amazing, the fudge is extraordinary, the ice creams is to die for, the staff-- friendly and knowledgeable, the location-- perfectly spotless! I cannot believe Ive lived in San Antonio for so long and have never been here! I had the sea salt chocolate caramel and my eyes rolled into the back of my head so hard I nearly passed out! I am definitely going here again!
Aa always excellent ice cream stop
Its a great place to get fat! I didnt perches anything but looked around. They had a large selection at decent prices.
For me they are the best chocolates🤪 that I have eaten has a lot of variety of sides sweet chocolates apples 👌caramelized desserts and also have cakes jellies also for Valentines gifts you can come here the truth very good the tension the decoration of the place very beautiful the excellent attention the Prices are reasonable You will not regret👌
Great tasting chocolate. The fudge was so good.
Amazing ice cream. So good we got it for a treat one night and dinner the next night.
Amazing, I would recommend their limited edition sundae.
Good fudge place. Only went in for that.
First place we visited in San Antonio and its making your impressions awesome they serve really good ice creams and hand made sweets. We were given free samples of ice cream and candies. It was so tasty that we bought ourselves some sweets))if youre a sweet tooth youre definitely have to be there. The ladies who work there are so welcome and talkative they are a great team and makes their job really well!
My husband and I went by last night as we where walking downtown San Antonio. When we where walking up to the store there was a lady outside with an waffle ice-cream cup who noticed ya glancing in and tells us its really good. We take her world for it and go in. Neither my husband or I wanted ice-cream. We went for the fudge samples that they had my husband claimed it to be delicious. I went for the assorted apples and the different types of chocolate dip goodies.We where excited and got a list of things! The lady that helped us was very friendly and reassuring that this treats where delicious 😋!Pecan caramel 🍏 apple was good!!Milk chocolate sprinkled marshmallow and white macadamia Tuttle where not great!! The flavor of the chocolate was off almost as it was old chocolate 🍫! The marshmallow was good but who can mess up a marshmallow!?!Almond toffee crunch and Chocolate covered twinkie where stale as can be! Did not taste same day made what so ever, disgusting 🤢 lets not forget the steep prices!!From 5 different treats we tried only 1 was good and I guess you can say 6 treats if you count the fudge that my husband sampled so 2 of those treats where worth the money 💴 every thing else was simply not worth it !!!
Smells nice. Nice variety. Friendly & helpful staff. Wonderful browsing experience.
Worst customer service, when trying to voice my concern to an employee he dismissed me and sent me to another employee who then sent me to another one. At the end I was basically called a liar and no apology was extended!
We love coming to this place every time we come to San Antonio. My kids talk about it year around. It’s family owned and they are the sweetest people. They always make us feel special. Thank you Kilwins.
Stopped in to buy a bottle of water 💧. Did not try any of the delicious looking fudge.
Ice cream and waffle cone were awesome. Service was great, lots of flavors to choose from, and they were open.
Amazing service and the chocolate covered coconut ice cream was perfectly wonderful. Highly recommended 👌
Peanut butter fudge! Creamy, perfect texture and flavor.
Awesome place love the ice cream and all the chocolate goodness here
Great ice cream selection. However it is a bit too sweet.
Love this place always tastes great and nice and cold!
Staff was very friendly, even offering suggestions when we couldnt decide. My son loved the design choices of the interior. Plenty of space for social distancing in this time. Sad thats its only in San Antonio. Hope it expands to Austin. 😁
Loved the collection & varieties of ice cream choices 🍦 🍨 😍 😋 👌!
This is the number one place for my best friend and myself to go for sweets. I love the shakes he loves the candy apples. And the fudge is great too!
Incredible! You definitely gotta come here if you’re visiting or living in San Antonio! The staff here is super friendly and the ice cream here is so good. I had a Marshmallow S’More with Chocolate Hot Fudge and it was really good. Plus, the store is very clean. I will definitely come back to this place if I visit San Antonio again. Plus, I highly recommend this chocolate shop.
The coconut ice cream is a must when you visit Kilwins
Everything is so good!!
The BEST place my husband took me during our valentines vacation 💕 this place is amazing
Absolutely great service and products
Very great nice customer service clean restaurant
Free fudge samples and the employees were very helpful and friendly.
Some of thr best desserts you will ever find
This place was amazing! They have fresh made fudge, caramel apples, and chocolate caramel candies to choose from. As for gifts, they have boxed up cuties like dipped Oreos, Turtles, chocolate covered nuts, chocolate covered caramels, and of course simple caramel ranging from $5.99 to 15.99 + you can spend a lot here, but it is well worth it and the store owner is very friendly. He gets out there and work with everyone else so you dont know hes the owner until you chat with him... Great to see that kind of passion! This is a must visit! we were so enchanted when we were in there that I forgot to take pictures but heres a sneak peek at some of the delicious Goodys we purchased... Whats left of them anyway;)
Amazing smells, just needed bathroom, came from next door. Grrrrrreat people, told them see them before I leave so chocolate would be fresh. So kind to let us tourists use bathrooms, hard to find businesses that understand and care, thank you
It was nice inside my gf loved her treat
My husband and I went downtown to the zoo and Riverwalk a couple of nights ago to see the Christmas lights. After our stop at The Alamo, we passed by Kilwins on our way back to where our car was parked. It was such a nice night and a warm temperature that having ice cream was the perfect ending.There were so many goodies to try to distract you as you walk in from popcorn, fudge, chocolates, and many other sweets. I was determined to have ice cream though. Peppermint ice cream seemed fitting tis the season with the red and green sprinkled throughout. My husband got the mint chocolate chip ice cream on a waffle cone.We mightve been one of the last customers for the evening and so grateful we got to try it. The ice cream surely hit the spot for both of us.I asked where Kilwins was from and the lady mentioned that its from Detroit and showed me all the locations across the country. I can attest to why its so popular! Its definitely tempting to go back to try all the other sweets.Make a stop when youre by The Alamo for those with a sweet tooth!
Try the free samples. Great ice cream.
Loved this place came in on a date with my girlfriend an The guy Larry took care of us from beginning to end he really knows how to get you what you need. Will be returning next time I visit well worth the stop.
My kids and I went, even though the store next door had Blue Bell, which is our fave. We were definitely impressed. The ice cream was delicious and Larry was so friendly and sweet. We will definitely visit again.
Staff was friendly and inviting. Place smelled amazing!! Great place for hot cocoa too 🥰
Good ice cream and very friendly staff.
So good! Thank you! Awesome service!
The ice cream was great but they are open in the middle of June 2020 with corona cases on the rise in San Antonio and the staff aren’t even wearing masks or gloves nor are the people in line reminder with stickers on the floor to social distance. It was pretty disappointing. The staff members have to reach down to scoop up the ice cream and they can easily wipe their nose and grab a scoop to dish out ice cream. My parents wanted to eat there and I was worried about them. The staff didn’t seem to care one bit :(
Delicious Everything! Ice cream, snacks, goodies... chocolate! And the staff was awesome.
Excellent service. You get what you’re paying for, the Oreo covered with chocolate was delicious!
Amazing fudge to try for free! A huge range of ice cream flavors to choose from, awesome people providing customer service, and a lot of other cute small tasty arrangements to buy.
Some of the best ice cream and chocolate in the city. Worth a little wait
I did not like their chocolate treats but their fudge was really good.
Was delicious and very clean.
It was ok. The prices are really high though(why I gave 3 stars). Staff was very friendly!
The toasted coconut is👌
Good ice cream a little pricey for the 2nd scoop
My family stopped in for a treat just after businesses started opening back up this month. The ice cream is delicious! Items are expensive though. We got 3 single ice cream cones and 2 packages of candy. $50...wow! The salt water taffy that I bought isn’t very good, but everything else was great. The atmosphere and location are nice too.
