Dallas restaurant Sugar Factory American Brasserie will be closed after services on August 4, 2024.
The Las Vegas-based restaurant and dessert shop served the most outlandish desserts Dallas had ever seen, we wrote when it opened in 2021. One such dessert was a sundae with nearly two dozen scoops of ice cream. The world-famous Sugar Factory King Kong Sundae, as it’s called, cost $99 and served 12 people.
Many of Sugar Factory’s other desserts were milkshakes, about $15 each, piled high with whipped cream, lollipops and sprinkles.
Despite the eye-catching sweets, the Sugar Factory was also part restaurant, part club. America’s Got Talent And Masked Singer TV presenter Nick Cannon played a DJ set at the opening party in November 2021.
The menu included a Flamin’ Hot Cheetos-crusted burger and sliders with rainbow-colored buns. The cocktails were large, as were the goblets filled with tropical punch drinks, and cost about $50 each.
Some of the drinks were “designed and tasted” by celebrities Guy Fieri, Sammy Hagar and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, according to a Sugar Factory press release.
A spokeswoman for the Sugar Factory did not explain why the restaurant was closing. She said the restaurant would move to a new address but did not disclose a location or time.
Sugar Factory continues to grow, with a restaurant opening in Houston’s Galleria district on July 1, 2024. (Cannon was also a DJ at that opening party.)
Sugar Factory restaurants still exist in New York City, Miami, Chicago, Indianapolis, Detroit, Honolulu and parts of the United Arab Emirates and the Bahamas.
The Sugar Factory was located at 1900 Cedar Springs Road, Dallas. It opened on November 5, 2021 and closed on August 4, 2024.
