Newport, Rhode Island, is known for its incredible sailing, resort-like atmosphere, beaches, and museums.

Whether taking a scenic route by the Ocean Drive or enjoying nature in the Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge, Newport is a vibrant city that attracts explorers and vacationers from all over the world.
Not far from the marina, the Kilwins Newport chocolate store on Upper Thames Street is the best place to treat yourself to traditional sweets to complement the city’s old-school feel.

Kilwins’s story began with Don and Katy Kilwin, their unique recipes, and their desire to create quality chocolates and sweets accompanied by warm and friendly customer service. Perfecting their chocolate, the Kilwin family founded our first store in 1947 and has been serving sweets crafted with the finest ingredients, made fresh, in-store daily. Today, our store owners and franchisees continue the legacy of exceptional confectionery skills and customer service.

We make it even more special with select toppings and handcrafted syrups and sauces.

Our Upper Thames Newport ice cream store offers our Original Recipe Ice Cream in a wide variety of flavors, from classics like chocolate and vanilla to modern and seasonal flavors. All are best enjoyed in our waffle cones and bowls.
At Kilwins, we make waffle cones by hand in the traditional way. This process involves mixing a rich batter and pouring it onto a hot waffle iron. Once the batter is baked to a golden crisp, we carefully shape each cone while still warm around a hand-held cone mold. The result is a fresh, crisp, and delicious cone.
Customize to your heart’s content by combining flavors and choosing toppings and syrups. We make ice cream uniquely yours with our mix-ins. Choose Kilwins favorites like the Mackinac Island Fudge, TUTTLE™ nut clusters, Heritage chocolate, and copper kettle-cooked caramel and have it mixed into your ice cream. Our Upper Thames Newport ice cream store staff are happy to help you narrow down all your options.
Kilwins guarantees a premium experience in every scoop: We pride ourselves on only using the highest quality ingredients. Our ice cream is Kosher-certified and uses fresh milk and cream locally sourced from trusted family-run farms. We store our ice cream in specialized tubs and deliver them to our stores in temperature-controlled vans to lock in freshness.
