Are you looking for a vintage candy store feeling? Kilwins at East Grand Rapids has the sweet treats you’re craving. Our handcrafted treats, from our nostalgic copper-kettle-cooked caramels to our Heritage Chocolates, are made with the same care as when the first Kilwins store was opened. Kilwins is consistent wherever you go.
Our East Grand Rapids location is the perfect place to find boxed chocolates for special occasions or a frozen treat to enjoy after spending the day with your family. Fans of caramel love our Granny Smith caramel apples or a large tin of caramel corn.
Our store prides itself on making things the old-fashioned way—we still hand-paddle our famous Mackinac Island Fudge and hand-dip many of our chocolate-covered goodies. No matter what kind of sweets you’re craving, we have something for everyone.
For locals and visitors alike, Kilwins is the go-to East Grand Rapids chocolate store. We’re located in the Gaslight Village area, surrounded by quality restaurants and close to John Collins Park.
We love doing things the right way, and for candy-making, the right way is the old-fashioned way. That’s because we pride ourselves on delivering an experience that makes our customers feel right at home. Anyone can enjoy a relaxing afternoon browsing our store and tasting the many sweet treats we have available.
Our in-store confectioners work hard to bring our customers the very best products. We have a tried and true process that creates the perfect candy every time.
Our Mackinac Island Fudge is prepared in-store from high-quality ingredients cooked in a copper kettle. Then, we paddle it by hand and shape it into the delicious fudge you know and love. We invite you to come in and try a piece (or two).

We take pride in our heritage and in delivering quality that can’t be matched. Our East Grand Rapids ice cream store serves top-tier ice cream in a wide variety of flavors that are sure to please. Between our smooth, rich ice cream and our premium toppings, it’s no wonder our customers lovingly refer to us as “My Kilwins.”
Since 1985, each of our Kilwins Original Recipe Ice Cream flavors has been made with excellence. Guests can order classic flavors like vanilla or chocolate, but we also have innovative, new flavors and seasonal flavors that are only available at certain times.
All of our flavors start with our premium ice cream base, which has been made using the same recipe since 1985. This base is made only with the finest ingredients.
Once the ice cream has been properly mixed, we transport it to our East Grand Rapids chocolate store using our own temperature-controlled trucks and delivery drivers. This keeps it frozen at just the right temperature, ensuring a perfectly consistent dessert in every scoop.
For special occasions, we offer our Gourmet Cake & Ice Cream—the perfect combination for when you can’t decide on ice cream or cake for dessert. It’s more than just your average ice cream cake. It’s a masterful blend of ingredients and toppings that make it a truly unique experience.
Where do we start? We love it when our customers leave the door with a smile and come back soon to visit us again!
Our East Grand Rapids ice cream store is committed to exceptional customer service. Beyond our world-class customer service, our kosher-certified Original Recipe Ice Cream is incredible. It is crafted with premium ingredients for an exceptional dessert experience.
Then, we transform this base with flavorings from fruit to mint. Your favorite dessert arrives at the East Grand Rapids ice cream store in our Kilwins trucks for a flawless taste and texture.
We also offer multiple customization options: Add the toppings of your choice, including hot fudge, hot caramel, nuts, sprinkles, and more. Don’t forget to try our store-made waffle cones and waffle bowls for an extra special treat.
We have classic milk, dark, and white chocolate (in our Heritage Chocolate recipe from 1947), but it doesn’t stop there. We’re also proud to offer chocolate-dipped marshmallows, fruit, pretzels, and so much more. Our iconic TUTTLE™ Nut Caramels, our spin on fan-favorite caramel nut clusters, are also quite popular.
We also offer rich, velvety truffles, and of course, our ice cream. Try one of our many chocolate flavors, from classic chocolate to any of our hybrid concoctions, and complete your ice cream order with your choice of chocolatey toppings.
