I love candy/ chocolate/ ice creams shops. So Kilwins hit the spot. Fresh waffles made in front of us. Very wide variety of ice cream. They also have a variety of different chocolate items and fudge. If you live chocolate or caramel covered apples this is also your place. Perfect place for a snack or dessert. Was very happy to have stumbled upon this shop. The chocolate covered Oreos are my favorite and they had a wide variety. Must place to go!
Best place to stop for ice cream and confections in New Orleans!I recently visited this hole in the wall and it literally felt like walking into a modern Wonka Factory. The ambiance and smell is so alluring, with friendly employees ready to help and answer all questions. I was in awe at all the flavors and textures they have to offer. BUT the item that caught my eye were the candied apples. They look absolutely delicious and taste so fresh! I had to have one. I didnt see any apple that caught my eye for me to choose. I wanted something different, so I asked. Lucy and Derek heard my request and didnt blink an eye. My caramel, white chocolate, drizzled with white and milk chocolate, sprinkled pecans apple was created with love, and tasted like it too. Thank you Kilwins New Orleans! Lucy and Derek, Thank you!! Yall are the BEST!
Went on sunday night and they were super busy! staff was great though and kept the line moving. they even handed out menus in the line while you waited and would check back in on you. they also had 2 separate lines—1 for ice cream 1 for fudge which also kept things moving quickly and smoothly. my cookies & cream was delicious!
Great ice cream, pralines, and chocolate! Customer service was also excellent! A guy with dark hair named Sam(?) was very friendly and helped us to pick out our desserts. It was only my second time trying pralines and learned that they’re supposed to taste moist as opposed to hard and dry. The ice cream that I got was also delicious! I heard they also have chocolate covered marshmallows. The marshmallows are freshly made.
1 star - for cleanness and how nicely organized the place was! Everything is layout in front of you in different sections.2- star - for the price, you get a very big portion, we got one cone and a waffle sundae and we could barely finish it!!3 star - so many ice cream flavors and so many different fudge choices. We tried strawberry, coconut and the chocolate fudge. They were all equally amazing. The fudge was the best tho4 star- is for customer service!! Everyone was so kind and helpful. From the time we walked in to saying goodbye when we left. They invited us to try out their fudge and the guy by the ice cream was really funny! He allowed us to try a few flavors as we were unsure. The lady by the baking side was super kind when asked about the strawberries 🍓
Love Kilwins! The staff at this location are so helpful! I had a couple types of fudge and the superman ice cream. All the items’ sweetness were perfectly balanced. This is a nice spot to get a gift as well. They have a massive selection of nicely package treats. I encourage you to stop in when you can.
Ducked into the Shops at Jax Brewery (2nd floor) and first smell was of the Waffle cones from Kilwins on the first floor. I am familiar with Kilwins from near home in Florida but did not know there was one here. Had Key Lime Pie ice cream and Lemon Sorbet on a waffle cone. Very good surprise treat while out walking.
Been a tradition to bring my family here everytime we visit NOLA, its become our second home. The trips are never complete until we have made a visit to this specific Kilwins. The last time we visited my wife picked up several of their delicious truffles, and several of their hand dipped pretzel sticks, which never made it back home because they were so delicious, also, it seemed that my wife had no idea that she had picked them for me. The atmosphere is always family friendly here expect to be welcomed in with southern hospitality abound. Well be back yall!
I loved the ice cream. The guy who served us was very friendly. We had to walk in the rain to get the ice cream, very delicious. I will come again.
The service was totally awesome. I had a scoop of toasted coconut ice cream and bought some fudge.The space was very clean and well maintained. They could do well to have extra seating; they have a counter with 6 stools.
Excellent customer service! The gentleman who helped my daughter and I was so patient and kind! She probably tasted a bit of everything and we were very happy with our selections. Thank you to the gentleman who helped us on September 27, you made my daughters day!
Very good ice cream place Im in the quarter on the edge of Jackson square
Always have the best ice cream and service. While waiting they had a fresh batch of waffle cones so they gave us two. Scrumptious is the best way to describe. Favorite ice cream!!!
Got a caramel apple with peanuts for $7.99 (which is a little pricey for a caramel apple). Ended up paying $34 for 4 caramel apples and one small candy. But I get it, new orleans - a city full of tourists. But the service received was disappointing. Very very rude staff. Will never come again. Dont like to deal with rude people.
My husband and I visited tonight for our first time even as locals. Absolutely awesomeness! Huge scoops and creative flavors!
Omg so good. We got peanut butter fudge, 2 Buckeyes, and Carmel Apple. Yummy
Absolutely incredible candies, fudge, chocolates, candied apples and ice cream choices in the French Quarter.They also have very thick shakes and malts as well as cold coffees that are really good.Unlike some other chocolate places that is still doing contactless pickup, Kilwins is open to everyone and offers many different choices.Definitely the best place in New Orleans to get your chocolate or Ice Cream fix
Kilwins has become a tradition for us to visit during our New Orleans vacations. The staff may need to cheer up a bit, but if you can get passed that,, their ice cream and treats are amazing. Try the Superman ice cream, you will not be disappointed.
One of my favorite in New Orleans. Will definitely go again and try something new. They have a lot of variety in terms of chocolates and customization. Great shakes and ice cream flavors as well. Nice, courteous and quick staff doesnt let you wait for long time. They also have small sit-in tables to enjoy your Ice cream or treat. Very nice place.
Some of the best ice cream Ive ever had in a waffle cone perfectly crafted. Seriously, this ice cream is made in-store and is worth a stop. I forgot to take a picture when I was there. Try it out if youre in New Orleans because it is Louisianas only location. Worth it!
The fudge is still fresh and not crunchy a week later. The service was excellent.
Awful experience. I entered 40 minutes before closing time. They had a line of people waiting. A woman behind the counter screamed at me were closed leave and Shut the door!. I have never been so disrespected in my entire life. Especially in the south and especially in New Orleans! I will never go to this place ever again. You lost a potential customer.
ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS PLACE!! ICE CREAM AND THE CASHEWS TRIFLES WAS DELICIOUS. 💝💝😊THE THE WAITRESS THANK YOU😊😊
Not only did I enjoy the cookies and creamice cream but I enjoyed the professional and friendly nature of the staff. Everyone was extra helpful and attentive.
The Traverse City Cherry and Mint Chocolate Chip were so good!
The ice cream is so smooth and tasty. Not too sweet to our taste. Theres always a line so you know its good ice cream.
Coming from Toronto, we have almost, every time passed by a sweet shop, where they make fudge and always wondered what it would taste like. We were at New Orleans for a short trip with friends and discovered Kilwins.Must say one of the best Fudge and Ice Cream shop we have ever come across - The atmosphere is amazing, the staff were super nice and allowed us to sample almost everything . We couldnt help but bring back some delicious fudge back to Toronto. A superb experience indeed and a must place to visit if you are in the area.
Great ice cream and waffle cones. Tons of things here to fix that sweet tooth!
Nice ice cream parlour and candy shop in NOLA. I took the fudge brownie, single scoop in waffle cone. The waffle cones are good and freshly made. The ice cream is fine, usual, nothing to die for. The candies and the fudge seems good. Though I did not try much. They don’t have any sitting arrangements though.
It had every sweet treat I seek in an old fashioned candy/ice cream shop.
One of the best chocolate brownie ice cream we have had! Mint ice cream was 4/5. Kids loved it. We got chocolate brownie ice cream in a bowl and mint ice cream in a waffle cone.
Concoctions are very tasty. Like others in New Orleans, they need proficient people to be good to their customers.
Ice cream shop with a candy shop inside. Numerous flavors of ice cream. The waffle cone was fresh and the cookies and cream was good.
The chocolate and toasted coconut ice cream is amazing! If youre not a chocolate fan, dont worry; there are a lot of other flavors from which to choose. There were some stools lining one of the store walls; but there wasnt much seating available inside the store. Dont let that deter you. Its probably a COVID safety measure. The employees are friendly and will have your order ready in no time. You can have a cake cone, waffle cone, waffle bowl or (inedible) bowl to-go. The waffle cone and bowls are made onsite. You can smell them from a block away; and they smell amazing. I didnt make it past the ice cream counter but Im sure I saw candies and other goodies as I exited the store. Kilwins, Ill be back!
Fast service and nice staff. Hardworking people moving line very quickly.
Lines went quickly and irs ice cream who doesnt like ice cream especially on a 92 degrees day?
Wonderful treats and very friendly service! Love the peanut butter fudge.
Staff friendly and everything yummy kinda pricey tho but worth every penny
Ice cream was amazing. I had the georgia peach and pecan. Kids had chocolate, strawberry and mint chocolate chip. Everyone was happy with their selection
The Very Best ice cream! Absolutely delicious! The toasted coconut was Sooo good. So was the Praline & Pecan one.
Absolutely DELICIOUSLY CREAMY ice cream and dessert. The candy and fudge are also yummy!
This is absolutely the best caramel apples I have ever had. My favorite is the apple pie caramel apple. Give it a try. Staff is always friendly every time I visit.
Awful experience. They seem to have no respect for the tourists. The manager, Sam, was very rude and ill-mannered.I was overcharged and when I pointed this out, the manager started arguing and misbehaving. Haven’t seen such an unprofessional attitude before. Never going again.
Work in the building, but its a good looking spot.
Delicious treats, great service, near many attractions!
Ice cream tastes awesome and prices were reasonable.
I asked for two different flavors, and o ly got one flavor. She must not have heard me. It was good.
I mean, you cant go wrong with ice cream
When I walked in, the first thing I thought was This place is beautiful!. We got some ice cream and a few different flavors of fudge. The taste was amazing! We went back a second time on our short trip to New Orleans. The staff here was great. They were nice, helpful, and patient with us. It was hard to decide what we wanted given all the wonderful choices. Definitely a pricey place. I recommend dropping in and trying something if you come to New Orleans.
What a great experience! Great chocolates and ice cream to die for! Great location downtown with high traffic of people and jazz music to fill the moments to will be remembered forever. Staff was working their butt off and was courteous at every turn
Such a great place, on the real. Very diverse with the flavor selections and chocolate covered or dipped treats.
What a shop! If youre looking for some amazing fudge, chocolates or ice cream, all made on sight before your eyes, this is the place. Some very nice gift ideas and unusual products too, like the shredding drinking chocolate or the 10 pound chocolate bars. Definitely worth a stop in... The beignet photo was accidental btw, its from Cafe du Monde (another necessary New Orleans carb stop 100 feet away).
Great ice cream, many fun different chocolate selections. Open later than other candy places on Friday is a plus and what lead our group here. Glad we found it!
If you are going to lock the doors at 8:45, please change your business hours to 8:45. I live here so it wasnt the worst thing for me, but I witnessed a family get very upset. The dad explained to the employee that they were leaving in the morning, and that getting Kilwins had become a family tradition. The employee told the man he didnt care, and wasnt going to serve him or anyone else.Im am very sad that I witnessed this scenario. I work in the quarter, and Ive taken many of my guests to Kilwins, and I suggest it to my rides as we pass. I guess I am going to have to give Abbotts a try.
Keep it moving! The milkshake was very watery. I have ordered the ice cream before and it was good, but the milkshake was not as thick as I would have liked.
The ice cream was delicious and the staff kept the line moving nicely.
Kids loved the ice cream and I liked the dark chocolate covered homemade marshmallows
Delectable ice cream. You better get you sum.
Try the sea salt caramel.They are VERY generous with their scoops. Worth the visit.
Ice cream and candy shop in the Quarter. Large servings of very sweet ice cream. A little crowded when we went.
Loved the turtle cheesecake ice cream in the waffle bowl! Great selection of sweet treats and dipped fruit too!
Nice staff.. fudge is awesome.. candied apples are great.
If youre going to end up with Type 2 diabetes, you might as well enjoy the trip, and Kilwins is as good as confectionery gets.
Service was smooth, everyone was properly wearing their PPEs, and very friendly. Happy to see them still open.
Great selection with friendly staff. The Apple pie caramel apple was delicious!
Love those beignets!!!First time eating them.Its Greatttt!!!
So, so good and would highly recommend for sweet treats. Lots of choices of ice cream and fudge and caramel apples and so much more. Everyone was very helpful.
Amazing ice cream and chocolate! A definite must see place. Will definitely be back! And fantastic customer service!!
Soooo good!
Love some chocolate! Some of the best chocolate that you can get. I also feel that there butter pecan ice cream tops that of baskin Robbins. I personally like the dark chocolate, but my husband is a pecan snapper kind of guys. Both are delicious so you can’t go wrong. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and in the heart of the French quarters. Stop in and grab a treat... take something home if it’s not to hot to carry it around before it melts.
Very nice ppl
The store is adorable and very clean; staff that served me were friendly. I wasnt impressed with the chocolate. Their confections ARE beautiful but the taste was disappointing for the price paid.
Good ice cream and very good service 😊
My sister loved the Mississippi mud flavor
Had their New Orleans praline ice cream and it was amazing.
