Kilwins became a bright spot in Naples in 2020. Ever since, the Naples-Mercato ice cream store has served area customers interested in cooling down with ice cream on a warm day, sharing some chocolate with a friend, treating themselves to sugary happiness, or buying some of the Mackinac Island Fudge that quickly became an area favorite.
It’s hard to think of Kilwins without thinking about our Heritage Chocolates. These chocolates have a rich taste and a rich history; the recipe dates back to 1947. You’ll find Heritage Chocolate not only in bar and bark form; we also drizzle it on some of our caramel apples. When you order a caramel apple, expect a flawless Granny Smith apple hand-dipped in caramel made in an old-fashioned copper kettle. At Kilwins, we respect traditional cooking methods and showcase them in our Naples-Mercato chocolate store.
We pride ourselves on selling high-quality products in a family-friendly atmosphere. Kilwins is a place where people come together to share a bite to eat and share memories from the good times in their lives. From the Kilwins Original Recipe Ice Cream to the boxed chocolates, there’s a lot to try at this Naples-Mercato ice cream store.
Perhaps our favorite aspect of our Naples-Mercato location is the community we serve. Residents are welcoming, and we love getting to know everyone who walks in our door. It’s a beautiful area where palm trees sway in the breeze outside the multitude of shops and eateries. Pull up a seat outside at one of our tables, do some people (and pet) watching, and enjoy the sunshine—all while enjoying your favorite sweet treat!
There are many stores to explore in the Mercato shopping and dining complex. Grab a bag of Kilwins caramel corn or a caramel apple and do some window shopping. Or, if you have a day of errands planned, enjoy some toffee while making your way to your destination and conquer your to-do list.
The Mercato events calendar is always full, and our ice cream, fudge, and chocolates are the perfect complements to whatever is on your schedule. Make sure to pick up extra snacks to share before a movie or live show and bring home with you after.
For example, the Paragon Pavilion + Axis15 movie theater is close to our location. As you're heading to the movies, stop by Kilwins first to have an ice cream cone or a slice of fudge before your film starts. And, of course, nothing says “movie time” like a bag of caramel corn for a home movie night.

Kilwins sets the standard for high-quality desserts, and that includes ice cream. The Naples-Mercato ice cream store is relatively new, but our Kilwins Original Recipe Ice Cream isn’t. It dates back to 1985, which means countless customers have given it their stamp of approval. We make our ice cream with premium ingredients and create incredible flavors with inclusions like fudge pieces, ribbons of caramel, and crunchy nuts. Make sure to add on our signature toppings—hot fudge or caramel—handcrafted in copper kettles.
Five-star ice cream isn’t only about the initial recipe, it’s also about keeping the ice cream perfect throughout the process. As lovely as Naples is, it can certainly get hot, particularly during the summer. We don’t take any chances when it comes to the quality of our products.
Kilwins uses temperature-controlled ice cream trucks to protect the ice cream’s integrity, especially since we put so much work in using the finest ingredients in our recipes.
While we’re at it, we also make our own waffle bowls and waffle cones right in our Naples-Mercato ice cream store. Our outstanding reputation is important to us, whether it's about the products we serve, how much patrons enjoyed what they ordered, or how excited customers are to return.
Going to a party? Hosting one at your house? Want to share a sweet treat with some of your favorite people after a long week at work? Our Kilwins Gourmet Cake and Ice Cream (our take on an ice cream cake, made with real cake) is the answer to all of these and more.
There are many reasons why customers love visiting our Naples-Mercato ice cream store. For starters, we offer dozens of fantastic ice cream flavors, each one starting with our made-with-love original recipe delivered in our temperature-controlled trucks. Our ice cream is also kosher-certified.
Customers can always count on receiving excellent customer service and a sweet experience. Our location is a prime spot that’s easy to get to right in the Mercato shopping center, especially with the ample parking available. Our customers can enjoy their treats inside or outside our location.
We’re big fans of the Kilwins Original Recipe Ice Cream, but we’re equally as passionate about ensuring our customers can access high-quality chocolates and other treats at our Naples-Mercato chocolate store. Truffles, caramels, nut clusters, bark, and brittles are sure-fire crowd-pleasers. Equally as popular are our chocolate-dipped fruit, marshmallows, cookies, and pretzels.
We love being a part of any celebration and welcome special orders at our Naples-Mercato location—from party favors to custom assortments. If you want something on a larger scale, we’ll be happy to make custom gift baskets. Contact Kilwins in Naples-Mercato for more information about special orders.
Ask any of our customers at our Naples-Mercato chocolate store what their favorite treat is, and chances are you’ll get a mixture of answers. However, many of our customers will agree that the Mackinac Island Fudge is a must-have. With a variety of delicious options available throughout the year and seasonal flavors debuting from time to time, it’s hard to resist. Chocolate-dipped pretzels, caramel apples drizzled with milk chocolate, and dark raspberry creams are a few of the many treats customers appreciate.
You can ask a team member if our no-sugar-added / sugar-free variations are available, too!
We wouldn’t be the best Naples-Mercato ice cream store if we didn’t offer seasonal and holiday-themed items. Holiday gift baskets and limited-edition ice cream flavors come in and out of rotation. If there are any specific seasonal items you’re interested in or want a custom holiday order, contact our Naples-Mercato Kilwins store and speak to one of our knowledgeable team members about how to make that happen.
The holidays get really busy at our Naples-Mercato location, so we recommend placing custom and large orders as soon as possible to ensure you can get them in time.
Ice cream might melt in the Naples heat by the time you get it to your loved one’s house, but a gift card won’t. Give your favorite people gift cards to our Naples-Mercato ice cream store so they can come in and get a waffle cone, ice cream cone, or dish of their choosing. Or, they can take their pick from the other goodies we have available. Whether they shop at our Naples-Mercato chocolate store or another Kilwins location, our gift cards let people take the sweet sensations of Florida summers wherever they go.
