The Kilwins in Traverse city was spacious and filled with loads of delicious treats and ice cream. Lines were long yet they were quite efficient in moving the crowds through. Lovely treat after dinner.

Fudge so rich with a slight crunch but mostly soft/gooey you'll need an entire glass of milk! Great service also. And also, lemon fudge?? HELLO!

Kilwins Sweets The moment you step inside, the heavenly smell of caramel hits you — it’s impossible to resist! They make their fudge fresh right in the store, and everything looks like a chocolate lover’s dream. We’re obsessed with the chocolate-dipped pretzels and Rice Krispies, but the real stars are the caramel apples and the popcorn — absolutely out of this world! A must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth!

I've been to several Kilwins and it's always a good stop for ice cream. I tried the peanut butter cup tonight and it was fantastic. Really recommend it. The staff is always friendly and service is quick. Plenty of options. Great stop when visiting Traverse City.

Cute little ice cream shop right on Front Street! Absolutely adorable with so much to choose from. The staff were kind and patient with my sisters and I whilst we tried a couple flavours. They even have their own recipes for serveral ice creams they serve (and yes, they have Superman. What's a Michigan ice cream shop without it?) Very unique! I will definitely return the next time I visit Traverse City.
