The new attraction promises to “transport you into a 19th century-inspired Steampunk chocolate factory” featuring “towering smoke stacks, funky gadgetry, and staff wearing unique Steampunk fashion,” according to the [theme park’s official blog](http://blog.universalorlando.com/whats-new/toothsome-chocolate-factory/). > [](https://twitter.com/OrlandoTourist1/status/709398526325825536) **Read More:** [There’s a Permanent _Walking Dead_ Attraction Coming to Universal Studios](http://time.com/4257707/walking-dead-permanent-attraction-universal-studios-hollywood/) While Toothsome won’t exclusively serve desserts, the eatery’s [sweet treats](http://time.com/4260985/cadbury-creme-eggs-london-crodough-cronut/) look to be one of its main draws. The park has unveiled details about a few of its creative confections, including several delicious-sounding milkshakes and sundaes: “The sundaes are anything but ordinary with flavors like _Salted Caramel Flan_, _Chocolate Brownie Bark_ and _S’mores_,” Universal writes. “This extreme twist on a summer favorite features layers of chocolate ice-cream, chocolate sauce, marshmallow cream and graham crackers.” > [](https://twitter.com/crushtastica/status/709387991572201472) And since the restaurant will be part of [Universal CityWalk](https://www.universalorlando.com/Nightlife/Citywalk-Nightlife.aspx), the shopping district located outside the park’s gates, guests won’t even have to pay an admission fee for a chance to eat there. Toothsome is set to open later this year.
