Welcome to the premier Waynesville chocolate store, Kilwins. Walking into Kilwins, our display of chocolates, fudge, and candy might be the first thing to catch your eye. We take pride in making handcrafted chocolates to perfection. We make many of our chocolates by hand, working carefully so that each bite is perfect.
For those who love chocolate-dipped treats, we've got a few that will satisfy your sweet tooth at our Waynesville chocolate store. Our love for sweets spans several other options for customers to enjoy. We have the classic chocolates in picture-perfect boxes, of course. Beyond that, we also handcraft truffles, nut clusters, and our famous Mackinac Island Fudge. Our fudge, toffee, and chocolates are made in the old-fashioned way.
We use only the finest ingredients, including Fair Trade Certified™ cocoa beans, to make our chocolate. The care we put into our menu is the same we put in our customer service. Our family-oriented team members and warm atmosphere make it the perfect place to gather or grab a sweet treat while you’re out shopping.
Waynesville, North Carolina, is a charming town in a beautiful area, a short drive from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It’s the perfect location where residents and tourists can stop by our Waynesville ice cream shop and stock up on a variety of goodies, especially on the way to or on the way back from a hike.
With a population of just over 10,000 residents, Waynesville is what many would consider a small but mighty town. We love this community, and it’s one of the reasons we’re open seven days a week. We get to see friendly (and hungry!) people walk through our doors every day, ordering everything from caramel apples to limited-edition ice cream flavors.
Kilwins is a community-centered brand that values human interaction and a family-friendly atmosphere, and that’s just what Waynesville is all about. Our proximity to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park means we’re in a tourist area, so we get the opportunity to meet locals and others from across the nation and the world.
The founding of Kilwins is thanks to Don and Katy Kilwin, who started making confections back in the 1940s.
Our Waynesville ice cream store is in a perfect location for locals and tourists. We’re in a convenient area right in the center of town. Many other wonderful businesses line the block, and with being in a walkable area, each is easy to get to. Street parking is available.
There’s so much to do in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and Kilwins would be happy to be part of your nature experience. Several of our treats, such as bagged and boxed chocolates, are portable and easy to take with you. Feel free to pick some up for a picnic while hiking, fishing, and camping.
Our Kilwins Original Recipe Ice Cream is certainly a major reason many come into our Waynesville ice cream store. Ice cream fans can enjoy a large assortment, including ones you can only find for a short time throughout the year. A variety of ice cream flavors are available, and all have that super creamy and rich taste that Kilwins is known for—from our Waynesville ice cream store and beyond.
When people see the kosher-certified ice cream in our store, it’s not only ice cream they’re looking at—it’s our legacy of putting everything we have into what we make.
We take significant steps to make sure our ice cream is perfect, even going as far as using custom-designed ice cream containers to protect our product. That’s only the beginning.
Temperature-controlled trucks are used to preserve the texture and consistency. Multiple generations have come to know and love the Kilwins Original Recipe Ice Cream, and it’s not something we take for granted.
Get your ice cream in a dish or opt for a cake cone, waffle cone, or waffle bowl. If you want to hold off on eating the ice cream until you get home or want to bring it to one of your favorite people, request a custom-packed ice cream quart.
Check out our range of toppings, which may include nuts, gummy candies, cookie pieces, and chocolate syrup. Choose one topping or be adventurous and mix and match them. We also offer a delicious array of malts and milkshakes made from Kilwins ice cream as the main ingredient.
When our Waynesville ice cream store became part of the community, we promised to provide the best, most delicious ice cream and confections in the area, and we’ve stayed true to our promise.
