When you open the door to our Grand Haven chocolate store, it might feel like you’re back home. That’s because, at Kilwins, we see ourselves as just that—an inviting home for all of our guests. When you sit at our table, you can enjoy our delicious handcrafted chocolates while we make new memories together.

There’s a reason our confections are the best around. Many of our recipes were originally dreamed up by Don and Katy Kilwin, our founders. 

When they first opened the original Kilwins store in 1947, Don and Katy had no way of knowing just how popular their chocolate treats would become. Now, Kilwins has locations across the country, including our Grand Haven ice cream store.

Since then, we’ve been dedicated to preserving the recipes that we’ve shared from the beginning. The process for making our Heritage Chocolate reflects the traditional way Don made it over 75 years ago, and our caramels are still made using his unbeatable recipe. Even our Original Recipe Ice Cream is inspired by Don’s values and techniques from 1985.

At our Grand Haven location, you can find TUTTLE™ Nut Caramels, Heritage Chocolate Bars, and Extraordinary Everyday Truffles delivered from our Kilwins kitchen. Our warm decor is amplified by the aroma of freshly made Mackinac Island Fudge, hand-paddled on marble countertops like it was over 70 years ago. 

We aren’t just dedicated to perfection—we practice it in everything we do. Our customers are our most treasured guests, and it is truly our treat to serve the best sweets in Grand Haven.

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

You might walk through our doors for our specialty Heritage Chocolate, but don’t leave without trying a scoop of our Original Recipe Ice Cream. This ice cream is made with our original 1985 recipe, and our flavor list continues to grow. With its rich flavor and creamy texture, our ice cream is sure to stay on your mind long after your last bite.

At Kilwins, we strongly believe in having something for everyone. At our Grand Haven chocolate store, you can find a flavor to satisfy any craving. From classic vanilla and chocolate-based flavors to ice cream flavored with mint, fruit, or some of our exclusive confections, we can guarantee your new flavor is waiting for you here.

What gives our Original Recipe Ice Cream its heavenly flavor? That would be our proprietary ice cream base made from premium ingredients.

Once our ice cream is made, the ice cream arrives at our Grand Haven ice cream store in our very own temperature-controlled ice cream transport trucks. After much testing, we decided that this was the only way to ensure our ice cream quality through transport.

If unsure which flavor you’d like, ask one of our friendly team members. They can help you try different flavors and suggest a few based on your taste preferences. Once you choose your ice cream flavor, layer on the toppings and enjoy your creation in a freshly made waffle cone still warm from the press.
