Universal Studios to open Wonka-inspired chocolate factory

Universal Studios in Orlando announced on March 14 that it will open The Toothsome Chocolate Factory, a new dessert spot, sometime in 2016.

Universal Orlando announced the opening of the chocolate factory on their blog. The Toothsome Chocolate Factory will be the newest dining area in Universal CityWalk and will imitate 19th century Steampunk with staff uniforms, smokestack decor and gadgets. This Wonka-inspired addition follows the addition of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (opening on April 7).

While there will be an emphasis on dessert, the chocolate factory will also serve entrees and brunch all day. The desserts will invoke Willy Wonka memories and images with milkshakes such as Key Lime Pie, Bacon Brittle and Red Velvet, and sundaes such as Chocolate Brownie Bark and S'mores.
