Newport Upper Thames Street: Chocolate, Fudge & Ice Cream
Your local shop for hand-crafted treats including Dubai Chocolate
Set on Thames Street near Newports busy waterfront, Kilwins Newport feels like part of the harbor walk itself. Guests wander in from nearby wharves, boutiques, and sailing cruises, often following the aroma of waffle cones drifting out to the sidewalk. Inside, marble tables hold rows of freshly hand paddled fudge, while glass cases show off Heritage chocolates and caramel apples ready for the dock. Visitors pick up gift boxes for coastal rentals, share sundaes before evening harbor walks, or grab scoops to enjoy along the cobblestone side streets. It is a warm, nostalgic stop tucked into Newports lively Upper Thames corridor.
