Step into our Nashville chocolate store and experience sights and smells unlike any other. The smells of freshly made desserts are enough to make your mouth water; every item tastes as amazing as it looks. All it takes is one bite of our products, and you’ll never look back. Once you set foot inside our store, our friendly team members are ready to greet you with a smile and a sample.
Kilwins started in 1947 when Don and Katy Kilwin put up the first-ever Kilwins store to share their beloved creations with their friends and neighbors. From small batches of chocolates to a diverse collection of sweets and treats, Kilwins has become legendary among locals and tourists. Some of our processes have remained unchanged for over 70 years, and many of our products are inspired by original Kilwins recipes.
Since our founding in 1947, we've brought the Kilwins menu to new cities, including Nashville, Tennessee. Nashville dazzles with its vibrant music scene that’s famous the world over, and its food scene is just as incredible. A haven for both music lovers and food enthusiasts, Kilwins, like Nashville, blends the old and the new for something totally distinct and one-of-a-kind.
And a trip to Kilwins makes whatever you have on your schedule even better. Our Demonbreun Street Kilwins is only a three-minute walk from the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum; stop by for a caramel apple before learning about musical legends. Similarly, we’re only a short drive from the Adventure Science Center—share a bag of caramel corn with your family as you talk about what you learned. Maybe you’re lucky enough to go to the nearby Country Music Association Awards. Take an ice cream break from the festivities and let our frozen desserts cool you down after all that dancing.
Kilwins has three principles that we live by: Treat others the way you want to be treated, do your best, and have fun. We apply these values to everything we do, which is why we have continued to be a beloved confectionery today. Our goal is to make every customer feel welcomed and valued when they step into our store. Our products are reflections of our hard work and dedication to making customers happy.
One of our most celebrated products is our Mackinac Island Fudge. One taste is all it takes to understand why our Mackinac Island Fudge continues to be one of our customers’ go-to items.
Every batch of fudge is handcrafted inside our Nashville chocolate store for all customers to see. Our professional fudge makers are hard at work to ensure every piece of fudge is made perfectly. You can see them mix various ingredients to form our creamy fudge base. The fudge is then spread on our marble counter like a dark chocolate lake.
Our confectioners use traditional hand-paddling techniques to give our fudge its signature shape and consistency. After the fudge hardens, you might be lucky enough to try a piece just after it cools down.
Our caramel apples are another one of our signature products that we are incredibly proud of. They have been on our store menu for over 70 years and continue to attract customers to this day. What makes our caramel apples perfect? The stars of the show are Granny Smith apples that are dipped into our copper-kettle-cooked caramel.
While the classic caramel and apple combo is amazing, we like to get creative with our recipes and we’ve developed a few we know you’ll love. We’re talking about our toppings. Choose from options that include a layer of nuts, milk chocolate, and more to create a one-of-a-kind dessert only available at Kilwins.
If you are looking for something cool and refreshing during a hot summer in Nashville, Kilwins is the place to be. Our Nashville ice cream store is where you will find the most premium ice cream flavors in town.
Kilwins puts a lot of work and effort into maintaining each batch of kosher-certified ice cream, which is how we earned the title of super-premium. With Kilwins’ ice cream, you can never have just one scoop.
There is a whole rainbow of flavors to enjoy when you visit our Nashville ice cream store. From classic flavors like chocolate and vanilla to assorted, fruit-infused flavors, there is always something for everyone.
Our toppings blend well with every scoop, creating a harmonious combination of textures and flavors. Our toppings include chocolate chips, hot fudge, caramel, nuts, and more. Wrap it all up in a crispy waffle cone (or waffle bowl) to take on the go, and you have yourself a true Kilwins delicacy.
Kilwins is the best ice cream store on Demonbreun Street and beyond for a good reason. To be proved worthy of earning a spot on that day’s menu, everything at our Nashville ice cream store must be up to par. We implement strict standards and procedures that ensure every batch is exactly how we want it.
It starts with finding the right ingredients to make up our ice cream’s foundation. We also use specialized, climate-controlled trucks to transport our ice cream to our Nashville ice cream store. These trucks keep our ice cream at the precise right temperature and prevent it from melting before it gets to our Demonbreun Street storefront.
Our Nashville chocolate store is full of delicious snacks. First, we have the classic trio of milk, dark, and white chocolates in our Heritage Chocolate recipe. We also have truffles, TUTTLE™ Nut Caramels, Almond Toffee Crunch, and—many, many more.
Yes, you can! Whether you are hosting a birthday party, wedding, anniversary, or company get-together, our Kilwins treats will make any event more special.

Kilwins’ Heritage Chocolate bars are another of our proudest creations for how they redefined what we thought chocolate could be.
