The Sugar Factory is now located inside the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood. I got to check it out this weekend with Baby Z and Lily, my childhood BFF. Lily and I have known each other since kindergarten!
Since it moved from The Fashion Show Mall, The Sugar Factory is a little hard to find from the parking garage, but we were determined. It’s actually on the second floor of the mall. The entrance is right by the bridge that goes from Planet Hollywood over Harmon (on Harmon Corner).
The new location is beautiful inside! At first you walk in and right across from the hostess desk is the candy wall. I dare you not to snack on those bins while waiting for your table. Wait…was I allowed to do that? Did I just blow an opportunity at free candy?!? Well, definitely ask before you eat anything.
The hostess directed us to an elevator in the back to take us up to the second floor seating. We walked right past a climbing wall that looked like the old candy buttons! Of course ducks are their thing at the Sugar Factory. And we saw two huge mirrored ones on the bar. We opted for the stairs instead of the elevator, and passed the Conversation Hearts wall on the way.
Up the spiral stairs and we were lead to our table. First, we had to try one of the famous Goblet Cocktails. Non-alcoholic of course, since Z was with us. It bubbles and steams like a cauldron! So cool! We chose the Miami Tropical Punch Goblet. Z didn’t like it at first, but then she couldn’t get enough. She had so much energy, she cleaned our table for our server!
Next were the Fried Macaroni & Cheese Balls (Z’s favorite) that were huge!! Rainbow sliders were a must. They’re pretty and delicious! For dessert, we had to agree on one (cause they’re huge too!) and Z didn’t want one of the Insane Milkshakes (which is…well, insane. Have you seen those things?).
Overall it was lots of fun. The song and dance the staff does for birthdays is a treat as well. The Sugar Factory is fun place to take friends who want something different. 🙂
