Better Than Sex, the adults-only dessert spot that helped define Ivanhoe Village's late-night vibe, is serving its last chocolate-rimmed glasses in Orlando on June 14. The company is asking regulars and curious first-timers alike to swing by during its final nights to celebrate a decade of over-the-top sweets and sultry date nights.
How the news was shared
According to FOX 35 Orlando, the restaurant broke the news in a June 4 social media post, writing, "After 10 memorable years, Better Than Sex Orlando has made the incredibly difficult decision to close our doors on June 14." The post also invited fans to "stop by…to commemorate 10 years of sexy, sophisticated memories."
A decade in Ivanhoe Village
The Orlando outpost opened in early 2016, when owners Dani and Len Johnson brought their Key West dessert-only concept to Ivanhoe Village, as WESH reported. It quickly became a date-night fixture, known for its intimate atmosphere and unapologetically indulgent desserts.
Other locations remain open
The brand's locations page currently lists restaurants in Key West, Savannah, Plano, and Greenville, indicating that the closure affects only the Orlando storefront, according to Better Than Sex. Those listings suggest the company is keeping its focus on the remaining markets.
Neighbors mark the final week
Ivanhoe Village Main Street put out its own farewell, encouraging locals to visit during the restaurant's final week and saying, "Cheers to 10 tantalizing years in our 'hood," as reported by Orlando Shine. Coverage also noted that sister locations will continue operating in other cities.
FOX 35 Orlando reported that it reached out to the concept's email address on June 8 but had not received a response at the time of publication, so the exact reason for the closure remains unclear. We will update this story if the business shares more details.
