Great Chocolate, holiday baskets and wonderful customer service

by Andringa at Citysearch

I have been buying chocolate from Kilwin's for more than 6 months. The selection is fantastic with the chocolates being my favorite. if you like chocolate, ice cream, twizzle sticks, fudge, gumballs, swedish fish - you are in the right place. The selections are too vast to list here- but a visit to the store, located in the Ballantyne area just off I-485 and Johnson Rd, is well worth it. Ask for a sample of Rocky Road or Peanut Butter fudge. Peruse the holiday and gift baskets. Just go, because this is a great place to quench a sweet tooth.

• Pros: Great sweets, excellent location, outstanding variety
• Cons: None at all

Ice Cream was incredible!

by jbird12321 at Citysearch

I stopped in this afternoon to beat the heat and have a scoop of ice cream. Best decision I made all day. Not only was the location nice and air conditioned but the staff was very helpful and the Blueberry Waffle Cone Ice Cream they recommended was INCREDIBLE! So good that I will be back later in the week to have them use the same ice cream to make me a milkshake (suggestion from the staff). I also sampled some of the Peanut Butter fudge and it melted in my mouth. Do yourself a favor if you are in the Ballantyne area and stop by Ballantyne Village to check this place out.

• Pros: Great selection, could try something different every day for a few months.
• Cons: None.

Every product I have had from Kilwin's has been excellent

I must disagree with the other reviewer. Kilwin's fudge is the best I have had from any commercial outlet. I like it even better than my Aunt Martha's homemade fudge and she's a major chocoholic so she really knows how to make chocolate deserts. The thing that I really like about Kilwin's fudge is that it is properly sweetened. Most fudge is so over sweet that it makes your mouth tingle but Kilwin's sweetened perfectly....sweet enough to taste great but not overpowering.

Their Maple Walnut fudge is really good too. Sweet and smooth and not at all grainy like some Maple fudge (graininess is caused sugar recrystalizing).

Right now I'm enjoying some of their Pecan Brittle.

• Pros: Quality product with good service
• Cons: It's a little pricey but the quality makes up for that
