Kilwin's Fudge and Ice Cream Shop--review



I
have been going to Kilwin's on Los Olas for over 19 years--usually for
dessert after a meal at one of the restaurants on the Boulevard. When we
came out of 101 Ocean on Commercial Boulevard we immediately went to
Kilwin's about a half a block away.
This Kilwin's is about twice the
width of the Los Olas store and has more mementos around but, most
important, their wide choices of homemade ice cream, fudges, yogurts 
and  gelatos were the major eye catchers of the store.
The young lady
behind the counter offered us tastes of any fudges and ice cream
flavors that we wanted--who needed to order anything? ME!
As much as I
love experimenting with flavors when I am faced with dozens of
different flavors of ice cream I go for plain old fashioned vanilla and
theirs is as smooth as it comes.
I had it in a waffle cone with the
top covered in chocolate which was delicious until three quarters of the
way down when it became very hard and almost--almost--inedible. I had
no doubt the lady who was serving me would have given me a new one
without question.
As far as I know Kilwin's was the first ice cream
shop in Fort Lauderdale while now there seems to be a new one on every
corner. About the only one that gives them competition in taste is Yo
Mama's on Sunrise Lane off the Fort Lauderdale beach.
$6.10 for an ice cream cone still gives me sticker shock but this is worth it as a treat once in a very rare while!!

Take a look at their web site--no, you won't gain weight by looking!

About 45min north of here we have "Mercers", which is a local Ice Cream factory. They put out some pretty good ice cream, they can give the brand names a run for their money. I don't eat a lot of ice cream, in fact very little if any. After my gastric bypass in 2004 I found I had become partially lactose intolerant. If I consume enough ice cream I will get pretty sick for about an hour or so, but I still tempt fate now and again.

My husband loves ice cream and gelato, and would eat it at every meal, and snacks in between.

$6.10? No way in hell on the hottest day!

I know, I know--but Ben & Jerry's, Baskin Robbins, etc., are just as expensive!
