Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge

"Kilwin’s is an old-fashioned sweets “shoppe,” but where it really excels is ice cream. Yes, at $10 for a single scoop, it’s on the pricier side, but you’re paying for a very large single scoop of creamy, sugary goodness in fun flavors like marshmallow s’mores. Flavors and general old-timey charm vary a bit at each Kilwins location—we suggest an ice cream crawl to decide which is your favorite." - adrian kane, veda kilaru

"If the smell of freshly-baked waffle cones doesn’t lure you in, the endless shelves of chocolate, caramel apples, and all things fudge definitely will. But where this old-fashioned sweets “shoppe” really excels is ice cream. It’s pricey—$10 for a single scoop—but you’re paying for a very large single scoop of creamy, sugary goodness in fun flavors like marshmallow s’more. There are also a bunch of special sundaes served in their housemade waffle bowls. Flavors, quality, and general old-timey charm vary a bit at each Kilwins location—we suggest doing an ice cream crawl at each to decide which is your favorite." - Veda Kilaru

"No one was injured after gunmen fired shots damaging storefronts and cars parked on the 1500 block of East 53rd Street in Hyde Park. Hyde Park Herald spoke with the owner of the local Kilwins, which was closed during the incident. Sweet shop co-owner Janel Jackson says all six of her employee have asked for transfers to other locations 'because they no longer feel safe.' Jackson says that might affect her decision to extend her lease. Kilwins has been open in Hyde Park since 2012." - Ashok Selvam
