The first thing you’ll probably notice about our store is the large window where you can see our team members hard at work making fudge and other chocolate treats. The second thing you’ll notice is the wonderful smell when you open the door. Our shop is filled with the pleasant aroma of melting chocolate, warm waffle cones, and sweet caramel—it’s practically paradise.
Kilwins has been delighting Americans with delicious sweets since 1947. Our original Heritage Chocolates are still made using traditional recipes developed by our founders. Stop in and enjoy a slice of history, and see why sweets from Kilwins are so popular.
Our Venice ice cream store is located downtown. We are across the street from Centennial Park, where you can enjoy your ice cream cone while walking your dog or watching your kids play in the splash pad.
We’re also down the street from the Venice Theatre, a delightful venue to watch live theater and stand-up comedy. Many people stop by our Venice chocolate store after a show for a box of chocolate truffles or one of our perfect caramel apples. Don’t worry, though—our talented team members work quickly to get you through the lines that might form during popular hours.
Kilwins is proud to be a gathering place for all members of our community. Many of our customers make lasting memories right here in our store, from celebrating birthdays, job promotions, school achievements, and more. All moments, big and small, are worth treating yourself or a loved one to some delicious sweets.
When it comes to confections, there’s no better place than Kilwins. We handcraft our desserts—many are made right in our Venice store. For example, our Mackinac Island Fudge and perfect caramel apples are made in-store behind our candy counters throughout the week. We only use high-quality ingredients and trusted, proprietary recipes to create our unique Heritage Chocolates.

In addition to the hundreds of chocolates available at our Venice chocolate store, Kilwins has been crafting super-premium ice cream using an original recipe since 1985, and we offer many flavors of our ice cream.

Customers love trying new flavors at Kilwins. We offer all the usual classics like vanilla or chocolate, as well as some more adventurous options, depending on the season. You can take your ice cream to the next level with some of our handcrafted toppings or buy a quart to enjoy at home.
Our Original Recipe Ice Cream is kosher-certified. We make our ice cream using premium ingredients and use only Fair Trade Certified™ chocolate. Kilwins ice cream is transported to our Venice ice cream store in temperature-controlled trucks to maintain consistency in flavor and texture. It’s no wonder people describe our ice cream as creamy, silky smooth, and delicious!
Stop by our store, and you’ll be impressed with our wonderful staff. They take pride in their work and scoop generous servings of ice cream with smiles.
At Kilwins, we have three main values: Do your best, treat others how you would like to be treated, and have fun. This is part of the reason Kilwins has been “Sweet in every Sense since 1947.”
Kilwins ice cream is based on our original recipe from 1985. That means we have satisfied customers for decades, and we plan on doing so for the decades to come.
We are dedicated to perfection. Our kosher-certified ice cream is transported using our own trucks to ensure you get the perfect scoop every time. Our Venice ice cream store offers endless ways to customize with our wide range of flavors, toppings, and freshly made waffle cones and bowls.
We offer all kinds of chocolate confections, made from our signature milk, dark, and white Heritage Chocolate. We also offer crunchy treats like nut clusters, brittle, or chocolate-dipped pretzels.
Of course, you can’t forget our Heritage Chocolate. You can enjoy it in our truffles and TUTTLE™ Nut Caramels (a twist on a classic caramel nut cluster). Some other chocolate goodies behind our counters include our Mackinac Island Fudge, caramel apples with and without chocolate, and various chocolate-dipped treats.
