We always enjoy Kilwins when we are in town and have never had any issues. We love the ice cream (in bowls) and great assortment of fudge.

They’re making waffle cones so there’s likely gluten everywhere. I had no idea if any ice creams were GF. Only customer in there. I waited for 5 minutes and left as both workers completely ignored my existence.

They did a horrible job at communicating. They don’t seem to care about costumers with special requests. I never did find out whether they could offer anything gluten free.

Went into Kilwins yesterday evening before realizing they were on this site. I asked a girl behind the counter if any if their items were gluten free. She looked confused and asked me what gluten was. When I explained she told me that if I selected something she could go and look for the box it came in and read the ingredients. I decided it wasn't worth taking a chance. I think management needs to proper train their employees.

A girl's got to have chocolate! We stepped into this tempting downtown store bc my husband loves homemade fudge. I figured there would be nothing for me but was pleasantly surprised when I was directed to a small table w prepackaged specialty dark GF & DF chocolates. Expensive but it satisfied my craving & didn't make me sick at all. HAPPY!

The staff was very knowledgeable about items that were gluten-free and they had ice cream listed based on their allergies. The staff washed all utensils, changed gloves, and got us a fresh ice cream from the back so there was no cross contamination. We also tried some fudge and all flavors were gluten-free. We were really impressed and our kids loved it! No indoor seating but limited bench seating outside, this is a very busy location

Employees stated nothing they offer was safe for a person with celiac. The ice cream isn’t safe due to scooping into cones and getting a new tub out wasn’t an option. All prepackage items had a disclaimer about being prepared in a shared facility and with shared equipment (so maybe ok but high risk). I would not recommend someone with celiac visiting this location.

Although their packaged candies are processed in a facility that share equipment, they make their Carmel apples fresh, on site daily. After watching them confirm their ingredient list in person, they confirmed their Carmel used for their Carmel apples is GF.

We tried the apples and they were delicious - no issues.
