Where it is
Get directionsKilwins on Hilton Head Island is the chocolate, fudge and ice cream shop in Shelter Cove Towne Centre, at 28 Shelter Cove Lane, Suite 112 B. It is a local franchise of the Michigan chain, and it keeps late hours for a sweet shop: 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday to Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and noon to 9 p.m. on Sunday. Holidays can change the hours. It is a counter shop with no seating, so take a cone for a walk to the park.
Kilwins Ice Cream Chocolate Fudge Menu
The menu centers on bakery and café fare, with moderate prices.
Fudge, Chocolates and Ice Cream
The fudge is Kilwins’ Mackinac Island recipe, and some of the candy is made in the shop, so you can watch it happen. The chocolate case holds truffles, turtles (TUTTLES, in Kilwins’ spelling), creams and the brand’s Dubai chocolate bars. The ice cream is Kilwins’ own, in a long list of flavors, with kids’ sizes that reviewers call generous, and waffle cones and bowls. Staff will talk you through allergens if you ask.
When to Go
Summer evenings bring a line out the door, and reviewers report waits of 20 minutes at the peak and, some nights, no waffle cones left. The line moves, and the shop is steps from Shelter Cove Community Park once you have your cone. For other scoops on the island, see Hilton Head ice cream, and for dinner before dessert, the Shelter Cove restaurants.
What diners say
Reviewers praise the ice cream, the fudge and the chocolates, the number of flavors, and kid-sized portions that are generous. They single out the staff for their help with allergies. The criticism that recurs is speed: on busy summer nights the line moves slowly.
