Massive chocolate factory to open at Universal’s Orlando CityWalk


If you’ve ever dreamed of walking into Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, a new dining attraction at Universal Studios Orlando could be what you’re waiting for.

The steampunk-inspired Toothsome Chocolate Factory & Savory Feast Emporium will open later this year, according to a Universal Studios news release. A specific opening date has not yet been released.

Located in CityWalk near Islands of Adventure, Universal says the new chocolate factory will feature “towering smoke stacks and tanks, piping and other equipment for chocolate production,” and visitors will be able to spot it from around the CityWalk lagoon.

In addition to “unique takes” on the usual restaurant fare — burgers, seafood, pasta — Universal says the Toothsome Chocolate Factory menu will be packed with tons of delicious-sounding goodies, including a few milkshakes that sound like something Augustus Gloop would be happy to get his hands on:

  • Chocolate x5
  • Espresso Buzzzz
  • Red Velvet
  • Bacon Brittle
  • Key Lime Pie
