We’re More Than Chocolate: Your Favorite Ice Cream Store in Cary

The Cary Kilwins is known for more than just chocolate—we’re also the go-to ice cream destination in town. Our Original Recipe Ice Cream is made with premium ingredients for its iconic creamy texture. We take the base and get creative, offering dozens of incredible flavors. With options ranging from classic vanilla and chocolate to adventurous limited-edition recipes, Kilwins’ ice cream variety is absolutely something to write home about.

We’ve been making ice cream since 1985. Our ice cream is kosher-certified and crafted with the finest ingredients. We take great pride in our process, transporting our ice cream in carefully monitored conditions to keep the consistency and texture just right until it’s ready to be served.
