Today, our process hasn’t changed much. With brilliant innovations, we have brought our Original Recipe Ice Cream to every Kilwins store nationwide, including Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. Now, everyone can get a taste of the time-honored traditions we use to create the richest, creamiest textures and flavors.

Part of what gives our guests a consistent ice cream experience is based on the operation and ownership of temperature-controlled trucks. The big, burgundy trucks you see traveling up and down the freeway are meticulously packed and climate controlled. From creation to delivery at your local Lauderdale-by-the-Sea ice cream store, the flavor and quality remain the same. 

Our ice cream counter caters to every sweet tooth. Traditional flavors like chocolate and vanilla are upgraded with carefully selected ingredients that add depth. We guarantee that our focus on quality and perfection makes chocolate and vanilla feel entirely new.

Add a drizzle of our made-in-store copper kettle caramel to the top, and you’ve got a treat that transforms a simple scoop of vanilla ice cream into a dessert dream. Top your chocolate with hot fudge, nuts, or sprinkles, and create your very own customized sundae.

Kilwins Lauderdale-by-the-Sea operates like a vintage American ice cream parlor. We have your go-to flavors, along with unique options only found at Kilwins. Some exclusive flavors include chocolate fudge, rich chocolates and creamy caramel swirls.

You can also cool off with a handcrafted milkshake, old-fashioned malt, or a signature sundae with all the toppings. No matter what kind of cool treat you crave, Kilwins Lauderdale-by-the-Sea serves it up with a smile.

Small Town, Big Flavors

The residents of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea are a close-knit community. With a population of slightly over 6,000, our community is on the smaller side for Florida beach towns. We’ve taken steps to maintain our relatively relaxed atmosphere. Instead of encouraging city-like growth, we champion our community’s low-key atmosphere and familiarity. Kilwins stores already operate by customer service values reminiscent of small towns, so we fit in quite nicely in our centrally located Lauderdale-by-the-Sea location. 

Our guests all get the same customer service we would want when we enter a shop: A warm smile, a genuine greeting, and undivided attention. Our employees always have time to explain our creation processes, help you pick a new flavor, and offer a free sample of our beloved fudge and ice cream. We work quickly: You never need to adjust your schedule to wait for your treat, even if our Lauderdale-by-the-Sea ice cream store is bustling. 

Our commitment to quality extends to our products. We only source the highest quality ingredients and refuse to settle for anything less than the best. We never compromise. That starts with the finest ingredients and a combination of old-fashioned practices and new advancements that help us improve the customer experience, our products, and our stores.
