Think of the sweetest, brightest, and most over-the-top place you can. No, not Disney Land. It's Sugar Factory. And a location is coming to the Valley this spring.

Sugar Factory, a chain dubbed “the most Instagrammed restaurant in the United States” by Food & Wine Magazine is set to open at Glendale's Westgate Entertainment District this April.

The new location will feature a candy store along with a full-service restaurant serving both sweet and savory creations. The nearly 10,000-square-foot space will also include a bar area, a private dining room, and an outdoor patio.

“We’re celebrating more than 14 years serving the most decadent sweets and treats around the world, and we are so excited to introduce our fun, family-friendly brand to Arizona," owner Charissa Davidovici said in a news release.

Some of Sugar Factory's other homes include Las Vegas, New York, San Antonio, Chicago, and Orlando. In Glendale, the new location will house a candy store that will feature a candy wall complete with over 50 different types of sweets to pick from.

The restaurant will serve brunch, lunch, and dinner with options ranging from sushi to burritos. The real show-stoppers will be anything sweet, ranging from breakfast dishes like the Salted Caramel Pretzel Pancakes topped with caramel sauce, caramel popcorn, a jumbo pretzel, Nutella drizzle, and vanilla ice cream, to the dessert milkshakes which come in chocolate-covered mugs.

To truly blend the concepts of breakfast and dessert, try the Maple Grand Slam, made with vanilla ice cream and topped with silver dollar pancakes, mini waffles, crispy maple bacon, whipped cream, and a maple syrup drizzle.

For those looking for something a tad more grown-up (really, only a tad), the bar will serve some equally impressive drinks including Sugar Factory's signature goblets which are made with dry ice and spill a cloud of smoke all over the table.

The Sugar Factory is the newest concept to join the entertainment district, joining fellow newcomer Johnny's Chicken and Waffles which opened at the end of March. Reservations are available on the Sugar Factory website starting April 24.
