“so I traveled over an hour to get here and omg this place is my new favorite. the decor is medieval themed, with awesome dragons, cool kings chairs, and cool games. the candy selection is out of this world. my family is from Ireland, and I love Irish chocolate. they have chocolate that was even hard to find in ireland last time I went. they have the best chocolate covered gummy bears, all the unique candy at the candy counter is amazing as well. the shakes are also great, packed with candy and flavor. I absolutely recommend this place.”

“Was in town and went there for a nostalgic experience from when it used to be Golicks but the small twist cone I ordered was barely above the cone for an underwhelming portion at twice the price.. the ice cream is still really good though…”

“Stopped in to Kilwins to grab a soda for my diabetic boyfriend who had low blood sugar, they don’t sell loose sodas but were very kind and just gave him one so we really appreciate that! Excellent treats, caramel apple was delicious and they offered to cut it so it was easier to share which I really like, and the fudge is delicious 💖💖 thank you guys next time we are in Portsmouth we will stop in again :)”

“I recently tried Crumbl Cookies, and they were really good! The cookies were soft, thick, and full of flavor. I liked that they have different flavors every week, so there’s always something new to try. The cookies are pretty big, which makes them great for sharing. They can be a little expensive, but the taste and quality make them worth it. Overall, I would recommend Crumbl Cookies to anyone who loves sweet treats.”

8 Campus Creamery

4.2 Good 33 Reviews

60 Main Street, Durham · 5.13 miles

“Great experience. Everyone is polite and patient. I'm severely allergic to peanuts and tree nuts, and I love how I am able to get toppings here because they use separate toppings for nut allergies. I do not come across these types of places often. Good flavors and very allergy-accommodating.”

9 Market & Cafe at Emery Farm

4.7 Superb 83 Reviews

147 Piscataqua Rd, Durham · 4.54 miles

• Take-Out

“I got my Christmas tree at Emery Farm this year, and it was a great experience! All the trees were really nice and in really good shape, they sell cider donuts you can munch on, they had a cozy campfire going near the tree lot where you can keep warm while you're waiting, everyone is very friendly, and they are giving away a cute wooden ornament with a tree purchase! I wrestled it in my door and onto a stand, with minimal needle loss despite the manhandling. It may not be the cheapest option, but the quality is there and they make the experience worth it. If you are able to support local places instead of big box stores and corporations, it's really a good thing to do and it really does make a difference. It keeps our money in our community instead of the wallet of some big faceless far-off corporation. 🌲💚”

“Good selection of base flavors and add-in options. But it's a tiny shop and the flow of which way the line goes is unclear, with people coming in both doors. The indoor seating is a handful of two-seat tables, but there are a few benches outside. For families, it's definitely more economical to split large sizes if the kids can agree!”
