Old Town, Alexandria: Chocolate, Fudge & Ice Cream
Your local shop for hand-crafted treats including Dubai Chocolate
On historic King Street in Old Town Alexandria, Kilwins sits along the brick sidewalks that lead from the King Street Metro down to the Potomac River. Shoppers step in between galleries and boutiques, families pause during waterfront days, and visitors wander over from nearby hotels. The shop feels like a classic confectionery, with caramel cooking in copper kettles, fudge paddled on marble tables, and waffle cones made fresh throughout the day. Guests grab cones to enjoy on the walk toward the waterfront, pick out chocolates as a thank you for hosts, or share sundaes before an evening boat cruise. It is a sweet stop woven into any Old Town stroll.
