Last night, Katlyn and I went to a chocolate shop that we had found awhile back, but we weren't able to locate it again until now. We will take you through our journey at Kilwins. The place that has the most amazing chocolates you can find! From hot chocolate to chocolate covered Oreo's, there is a little slice of heaven for anyone and everyone.
Environment:
Right as we enter the door, it looks as though we were stepping into a Willy Wonka Chocolate factory. Chocolate everywhere! Especially now, with Valentine’s day just right around the corner, Kilwins has the chocolate lining the walls. Literally.
You know a chocolate place is legit when you see the guy stirring the chocolate pot as you walk in. They literally prepare the chocolate in front of you. It’s not some “back room” process. No, this was smack dab in front of your face.
The other thing that was great about this place was their choice of music. It was very soulful and added to the mood of the store.
Taste:
The taste was absolutely fantastic. On the first sip, you can instantly tell that this isn’t some chocolate mix with added milk or anything basic like that. This was quality chocolate! All of Kilwins dairy products are 100 percent organic and hormone free, which is another reason why the taste was so extraordinary. The hot chocolate had a thick creamy consistency to it that just sort of lingers in your mouth after drinking it. Although the drink was very hot, it contributed to the taste. What would hot chocolate be if it wasn’t hot?
Presentation:
Since Kilwin’s seems like a classy place, I figured we would get our chocolate in white glass mugs like the rest of the coffee houses we’ve been to recently. However, we received them in paper cups. I was slightly disappointed but can’t complain because we could take the delicious cups of coco on the go, and explore the beautiful city of Madison.
