Our handcrafted chocolates, buttery smooth caramels, salty treats, velvety fudge, and perfectly chilled ice cream draw in both locals and visitors alike. Ask a local where to go for an after-dinner dessert; it’s likely they’ll reference “My Kilwins.”
Desserts take on a whole new meaning at our Lauderdale-by-the-Sea chocolate store; we make our fudge and some of our chocolates the way we made them over 75 years ago. For example, our Mackinac Island Fudge is hand-paddled on marble countertops, and our caramel is cooked in copper kettles.
Our commitment to quality ensures that every truffle, caramel apple, toffee, caramel is crafted to the highest standard possible. We handcraft many of our chocolates and sweets, carefully inspecting each item before it reaches our display cases.
From the moment you poke your head inside, you’re transported to the Florida of decades past, where family and friends spent time in the sun enjoying conversation and sweet treats. Step inside: We’re happy to have you and can’t wait to serve up your new favorite dessert.
The Florida you remember from childhood vacations still exists in the small, close-knit coastal towns that have remained untouched by the massive developments of some of our sister cities. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea offers you the chance to relive your treasured Florida memories with quaint bed and breakfasts, locally owned eateries, and, of course, Kilwins.
We’ve been here for years, and the same mouth-watering, exceptional confections you remember from your childhood visits are still being served from our counters. We’re just west of the Anglin Fishing Pier and a block or so from the beach, making it easy to refresh with a scoop of ice cream or a sundae.
This Lauderdale-by-the-Sea chocolate store provides an escape from busier Florida coastal towns. We’re a little more laid back here, a little cozier, and a lot more relaxed. You won’t find high-rise condos or endless traffic. Brightly colored umbrellas and vibrant storefronts create a fun, beach-themed atmosphere, while Kilwins’ family-oriented, friendly vibe aligns with the city’s motto: “Relax, you’re here!”

At your favorite Lauderdale-by-the-Sea chocolate store, you’ll enjoy some of the tastiest ice cream you’ve ever had. We began making our super-premium ice cream in 1985, and what makes us different is our commitment to using only the highest-quality ingredients. Our flavors range from classics like vanilla and chocolate to limited-edition flavors that you won’t find anywhere else.
Today, our process hasn’t changed much. With brilliant innovations, we have brought our Original Recipe Ice Cream to every Kilwins store nationwide, including Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. Now, everyone can get a taste of the time-honored traditions we use to create the richest, creamiest textures and flavors.
Part of what gives our guests a consistent ice cream experience is based on the operation and ownership of temperature-controlled trucks. The big, burgundy trucks you see traveling up and down the freeway are meticulously packed and climate controlled. From creation to delivery at your local Lauderdale-by-the-Sea ice cream store, the flavor and quality remain the same.
Our ice cream counter caters to every sweet tooth. Traditional flavors like chocolate and vanilla are upgraded with carefully selected ingredients that add depth. We guarantee that our focus on quality and perfection makes chocolate and vanilla feel entirely new.
Add a drizzle of our made-in-store copper kettle caramel to the top, and you’ve got a treat that transforms a simple scoop of vanilla ice cream into a dessert dream. Top your chocolate with hot fudge, nuts, or sprinkles, and create your very own customized sundae.
Kilwins Lauderdale-by-the-Sea operates like a vintage American ice cream parlor. We have your go-to flavors, along with unique options only found at Kilwins. Some exclusive flavors include chocolate fudge, rich chocolates and creamy caramel swirls.
You can also cool off with a handcrafted milkshake, old-fashioned malt, or a signature sundae with all the toppings. No matter what kind of cool treat you crave, Kilwins Lauderdale-by-the-Sea serves it up with a smile.
