Every city needs a candy shop where the community can gather, enjoy tasty treats, and make memories. We are proud to offer delicious desserts right in the bustling, revitalized neighborhood of Downtown Fort Wayne.
Kilwins is dedicated to quality ingredients and premium flavors. For example, we use FairTrade chocolate and milk from local farms in many of our creations. Most of our chocolates are still made using Heritage recipes and techniques that date back to the 1940s.
Many of our treats are made right here in our Fort Wayne chocolate store, where you can watch our talented staff work on spinning sugar and popcorn into caramel corn gold and hand-paddle fudge on pristine marble countertops. In our candy counters, you can find our signature chocolate truffles, TUTTLE™ Nut Caramels, and chocolate-covered goodies.
The original Kilwins began as a candy shop in 1947. Back then, chocolates, fudge, and other sweets were made using high-quality equipment like our original copper kettles. We still use many of these traditional techniques when making our candies in-store, including those authentic copper kettles, but we’ve also incorporated many modern innovations.
If you’ve ever had a fresh chocolate chip cookie from a grandparent, you know that there is nothing like something made by hand. That’s why we try to incorporate a human touch whenever possible, from our freshly made waffle cones to our hand-dipped caramel apples. We are members of your community, and it’s important to us that everything is made with care. At Kilwins, we use family recipes with an emphasis on “family.” When you walk in, it should feel as comfortable as walking into your own home.
Our family-owned store is located in Downtown Fort Wayne, near Columbia St. and Promenade Park. Downtown Fort Wayne has become a popular destination over the last decade, and we are excited to be one of the many local businesses in this growing neighborhood of Indiana’s second-largest city.
Step inside our beautiful downtown shop, and you’ll be greeted by the smell of waffle cones and chocolate fudge. Our friendly employees are ready to walk you through our various confectionary options, including our selection of ice cream flavors.
Our Fort Wayne ice cream store features a large outdoor patio that is a perfect spot to gather with friends, take a break with co-workers, or even enjoy a first date. We love to be part of our guests’ memories—moments both big and small. After your ice cream, grab an electric scooter and take a ride through Downtown to discover even more great parts of our community.
We are invested in the success of our community as much as the success of our business. This is exemplified in our values, which are to treat others how you would like to be treated, do your best, and have fun. We strive to do the best for our community as well as provide the best ice cream and chocolates in Fort Wayne.
Kilwins’ Super-Premium ice cream comes in a wide variety of flavors, from traditional to adventurous. Customers praise our ice cream for its silky smooth, rich, and creamy textures. We’ve been making ice cream using our signature recipe since 1985, so stop by our Fort Wayne ice cream store today for a taste of culinary history.
Our Kosher-certified ice cream is made using dairy from local family farms. We also own special ice cream transport vans that maintain the quality and consistency of our ice cream, which is packed in custom temperature-controlled tubs. We use premium mix-ins to make our flavors, including some of our signature Kilwins Mackinac Island Fudge and caramel.
There are so many flavors to choose from that you may not know where to start. Don’t worry—our friendly staff members are there to offer recommendations and encourage you to try as many samples as you would like. We also offer a wide range of toppings including our homemade caramel and hot fudge. Don’t forget to finish your creation with a waffle cone or bowl, hot off the waffle iron.
There are many reasons Kilwins is the best Fort Wayne ice cream store. It all starts with our original 1985 recipe and fresh cream from local, family-owned farms.
We create unique flavors you can’t get anywhere else, with generous portions and fun toppings. Our commitment to customer service means the minute we suit up for making and serving candy, we aim to be pleasant, hard-working, and diligently remember our training as we uphold the Kilwins values. Stop in today, and you’ll see why Kilwins is the very best!
