Sugar Factory American Brasserie to Open in Orlando

Sugar Factory American Brasserie will bring its celebrated cuisine, world-famous celebrity sweets and signature treats to Orlando with its grand opening at I-Drive 360 in May.

The new 8,000-square-foot brasserie and retail shop has the same "MTV meets Willy Wonka" appeal that has made Sugar Factory an international favorite, complete with a spacious main dining room, patio, walk-up window serving Sugar Factory's frozen favorites and retail shop with an ice cream and coffee counter. Plus, the new Sugar Factory American Brasserie will offer a variety of its world-famous Couture Pops, which have become a pop culture phenomenon and have made confections a celebrity accessory. Britney Spears, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Rihanna, the Jonas Brothers, Sting, Charlie Sheen, Kim Kardashian and Drake are just a few of the celebrities who have either endorsed or have been spotted with the sparkly lollipops. Kylie and Kendall Jenner debuted their own signature Couture Pops just a few months ago: The Black Diamond and Gray Sparkle.

Created by a team of world-class chefs, menu selections include everything from pancakes and sweet and savory crepes to salads, burgers and pizzas. Appetizers include bruschetta of the day, fried macaroni and cheese and mini burgers. Soups and salads include zesty chicken tortilla soup, Chinese chicken salad and Caesar salad. Sandwiches and burgers include the buffalo chicken sandwich, made with buttermilk battered buffalo chicken breast, shredded lettuce, vine ripened tomatoes and celery aioli, served on a brioche bun; and Sugar Factory's signature burger topped with crispy onions, house-made sauce, lettuce and cheese.

Sugar Factory offers an array of pasta selections, including spaghetti and meatball and Bolognese rigatoni in a slow simmered meat sauce. Grill selections include filet mignon served with béarnaise aioli and pommes frites; and grilled salmon, coated in a miso-mustard glaze, served alongside roasted mushrooms and baby spinach.

Sugar Factory's renowned brunch features decadent selections including red velvet pancakes topped with white chocolate chunks, orange zest, whipped cream and warm maple syrup; apple pie waffles topped with roasted apples, caramel sauce, whipped cream, toasted pecan crumble, vanilla ice cream and warm maple syrup; and s'mores crepes filled with toasted marshmallows, crushed graham crackers and melted chocolate chunks topped with vanilla ice cream. The brasserie will be the first establishment to offer brunch on the city's famed International Drive.

Sugar Factory's legendary desserts include the King Kong Sundae, which packs a sweet punch for up to 12 people with 24 scoops of ice cream, sprinkles, caramel sauce, fudge sauce, strawberry sauce, marshmallows, Reese's Pieces, chocolate chip cookies, crushed waffle cones, gummy bears, white chocolate strawberry shavings, sliced bananas, toasted walnuts and whipped cream, then topped off with giant swirly pops. Sugar Factory's decadent shakes, hot chocolate and frozen hot chocolate selections will include the chocolate cookie jar shake, made with Oreo cookie crumbles, chocolate chips, caramel, vanilla ice cream and pure melted chocolate, topped with whipped cream and Oreo cookies; coconut hot chocolate; classic frozen hot chocolate; and peanut butter hot chocolate.

Sugar Factory's premium spirits blend sweet treats with spiked adult beverages, including Sugar Factory's signature 60-ounce alcohol-infused smoking candy goblets. The Lollipop Passion is made with coconut, pineapple and melon flavors, and adorned with candy necklaces and swirly lollipops. The white gummi is a playful blend of fruit and floating gummi worms. The martini selections will include the Blow Pop martini, finished off with a Pop Rocks rim and Blow Pop in the glass, as well as the s'mores martini, a comforting combination of chocolate and marshmallows, garnished with a graham cracker rim.
