Your Local Fort Wayne Kilwins Store

We’re the best chocolate, fudge, and ice cream store in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Every city needs a candy shop where the community can gather, enjoy tasty treats, and make memories. We are proud to offer delicious desserts right in the bustling, revitalized neighborhood of Downtown Fort Wayne.

Kilwins is dedicated to quality ingredients and premium flavors. For example, we use FairTrade chocolate and milk from local farms in many of our creations. Most of our chocolates are still made using Heritage recipes and techniques that date back to the 1940s.

Many of our treats are made right here in our Fort Wayne chocolate store, where you can watch our talented staff work on spinning sugar and popcorn into caramel corn gold and hand-paddle fudge on pristine marble countertops. In our candy counters, you can find our signature chocolate truffles, TUTTLE™ Nut Caramels, and chocolate-covered goodies.

The original Kilwins began as a candy shop in 1947. Back then, chocolates, fudge, and other sweets were made using high-quality equipment like our original copper kettles. We still use many of these traditional techniques when making our candies in-store, including those authentic copper kettles, but we’ve also incorporated many modern innovations.

If you’ve ever had a fresh chocolate chip cookie from a grandparent, you know that there is nothing like something made by hand. That’s why we try to incorporate a human touch whenever possible, from our freshly made waffle cones to our hand-dipped caramel apples. We are members of your community, and it’s important to us that everything is made with care. At Kilwins, we use family recipes with an emphasis on “family.” When you walk in, it should feel as comfortable as walking into your own home.

Inside Our Fort Wayne Chocolate Store

Our family-owned store is located in Downtown Fort Wayne, near Columbia St. and Promenade Park. Downtown Fort Wayne has become a popular destination over the last decade, and we are excited to be one of the many local businesses in this growing neighborhood of Indiana’s second-largest city.

Our Fort Wayne ice cream store features a large outdoor patio that is a perfect spot to gather with friends, take a break with co-workers, or even enjoy a first date. We love to be part of our guests’ memories—moments both big and small. After your ice cream, grab an electric scooter and take a ride through Downtown to discover even more great parts of our community. 

We are invested in the success of our community as much as the success of our business. This is exemplified in our values, which are to treat others how you would like to be treated, do your best, and have fun. We strive to do the best for our community as well as provide the best ice cream and chocolates in Fort Wayne.
