Our handcrafted chocolates, buttery smooth caramels, salty treats, velvety fudge, and perfectly chilled ice cream draw in both locals and visitors alike. Ask a local where to go for an after-dinner dessert; it’s likely they’ll reference “My Kilwins.”
Desserts take on a whole new meaning at our Lauderdale-by-the-Sea chocolate store; we make our fudge and chocolates the way we made them 75 years ago. For example, our Mackinac Island Fudge is made on marble countertops, and our caramel is cooked in copper kettles.
Our commitment to the process means every truffle, caramel apple, toffee, caramel, and more is the highest quality possible. We make all our chocolates and sweets by hand and inspect each item before putting it in our glass cases.
From the moment you poke your head inside, you’re transported to the Florida of decades past, where family and friends spent time in the sun enjoying conversation, salt water, and sweet treats. Step inside: We’re happy to have you and can’t wait to serve up your new favorite dessert.
The Florida you remember from childhood vacations still exists in the small, close-knit coastal towns that have remained untouched by the massive developments of some of our sister cities. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea offers you the chance to relive your treasured Florida memories with quaint bed and breakfasts, locally-owned eateries, and, of course, Kilwins.
We’ve been here for years, and the same mouth-watering, exceptional confections you remember from your childhood visits are still being served from our counters. We’re just west of the Anglin Fishing Pier and a block or so from the beach, making it easy to refresh with a scoop of ice cream or a sundae.
This Lauderdale-by-the-Sea chocolate store provides an escape from busier Florida coastal towns. We’re a little more laid back here, a little cozier, and a lot more relaxed. You won’t find high-rise condos or endless traffic. Our brightly-colored umbrellas and vibrant storefronts keep our atmosphere beach-themed and fun, and Kilwins’s family-oriented, friendly atmosphere adheres to the city’s motto: “Relax, you’re here!”

At your favorite Lauderdale-by-the-Sea chocolate store, you’ll get some of the tastiest ice cream you’ve ever had. We began making our “Super-Premium” ice cream in 1985. What makes us different starts with our ingredients. We knew we wanted to create ice cream that was exceptional, so we started by sourcing our ingredients from local family farms that were able to provide us with the highest quality cream and milk available. Our flavors range from the classics (vanilla and chocolate) to our limited-edition flavors that you can’t find anywhere else.
Today, we still use family-operated farms to get the freshest dairy products. Our process hasn’t changed much. With brilliant innovations, we can bring our Original Recipe Ice Cream nationwide at every Kilwins store, 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 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 has a taste for all sweet tooths. Traditional flavors, like chocolate and vanilla, are upgraded with carefully selected ingredients that add more depth. We guarantee our focus on quality and perfection means 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. Our mix-ins include our famous Mackinac Island Fudge, our handmade waffle cones, and chocolates.

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.
