Kilwins

My boyfriend & I really, really wanted to love this place, but just couldn’t considering I am an Appalachian State Grad & am used to their Blowing Rock location. I can’t even compare this Kilwin’s to the Blowing Rock store & perhaps if I had never been there, I would’ve liked this place a little more. The only ice cream that I ever got in Blowing Rock (which I know is one of their best sellers) was their Apple Pie ice cream. This was one of the flavors that I knew was unique to Kilwin’s, which made it even more specical since I know most homemade ice cream flavors all taste similar. I was so excited to go to Kilwin’s & get my favorite ice cream, but was disappointed that they didn’t have it, as well as about half of their selection that I’m used to seeing in Blowing Rock. I don’t mind their lack of seating or anything like that, and the store is adorable, but if you really want to knock the socks off of your customers, you should change up some of your selection every now and then :)

Best chocolate peanut butter ice cream ever! The waffle cones are kept warm– so good! They have delicious looking chocolates and all kinds of chocolate treats. Staff are pleasant and helpful. They stay open late, great for a late night treat!

I am a fan of Kilwin’s! I can’t get enough of their cookie dough ice cream in one of those delicious waffle cones. Sometimes when you are in you can get a hold of one from a freshly made match its still a little warm, a little crunchy, a little chewy, and super delicious. They do keep the waffle cones under a heat lamp so either way you are going to get a tasty waffle cone.
They also have a tasty variety of chocolate desserts. From giant peanut butter cups to fancy dipped apples you will surely find something here to satiate your sweet tooth.
The employees are always friendly and there is usually not more than a small line on summer nights so you can get your ice cram pretty quickly!
They also offer daily specials so be sure to check them out on their website. Currently on Sunday’s you can get a free ice cream cone for children six and under.
