A Dessert Experience Built for Two
Located in a dimly lit, cozy space designed for couples, Better Than Sex is the perfect pick for a romantic night out. Most tables are partially enclosed with curtains or walls for extra privacy, letting you enjoy your indulgence with no distractions. Portions are generous and made for sharing, so bring a partner—or at least someone who doesn’t mind splitting bites.
Made-In-House Masterpieces
The desserts here aren’t just sweet—they’re works of art. All menu items are made in-house by a team led by husband-and-wife duo Dani and Len Johnson, who opened the first Better Than Sex in Key West in 2008. Since then, their passion project has grown to include locations in Orlando and several other cities, gaining a cult following and landing on “best of” lists around the country.

Must-Try Desserts
Start with the unforgettable Peanut Butter Perversion—a peanut butter silk pie resting on a chocolate chip cookie dough crust. It’s rich, creamy, and yes, borderline addictive.
Craving something more savory-sweet? The Morning After is a standout: a grilled cheese sandwich with melted brie and chocolate, buttered with cinnamon sugar and toasted to perfection. For a playful side, pair it with the Strawberry Champagne Soup—a light and refreshing palate cleanser that elevates the whole experience.
Don’t Skip the Dessert Cocktails
Drinks here are just as inventive as the desserts. The Love Potion 69 blends sweet almond-infused vodka, vanilla bean, and honey, topped with a cloud of whipped cream. Beer lovers shouldn’t miss the Milf Shake—a creamy mix of milk stout poured over vanilla bean ice cream, served in a glass rimmed with white chocolate and topped with malted milk balls.
Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want to treat yourself and someone sweet, Better Than Sex Dessert Restaurant offers an immersive, over-the-top experience that Orlando locals and visitors alike rave about.
