The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen turns 10 at Universal CityWalk on September 22, 2026, and the kitchen is marking it with food rather than a plaque. Chefs built a limited-time anniversary menu of five dishes and one shake, and it’s running all September.
The party lands a few days before the actual anniversary. Toothsome is hosting a 10th Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, September 19 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., with Professor Doctor Penelope Tibeaux Tinker-Toothsome and her robotic companion Jacques on hand.
What happens at the Toothsome 10th Anniversary Celebration?
Chocolate, mostly. There’s a steampunk-inspired chocolate display featuring Jacques and Penelope, plus an interactive melted chocolate dipping station stocked with marshmallows and fresh fruit skewers.
Toothsome is also running a family-friendly Chocolate Origins showcase that digs into the history of chocolate and includes a cacao pod display. The journey of Felchlin chocolate gets its own treatment through pop-up banners, heat bends, and a video display. A cacao bean Melanger and Chocolate Coating station rounds out the demo area.
Guests can take a picture in Toothsome’s themed photobooth and leave with a custom engraved chocolate coin carrying the 10-year anniversary logo. That’s a souvenir you can eat, which feels correct for this restaurant.
What’s on the Toothsome anniversary menu?
Start with the drink, because it’s the loudest thing on the list. The Cheers to 10 Years! shake is blended with chocolate and hazelnut spread-flavored ice cream, then topped with shiny chocolate gears and a chocolate candle, all served in a signature chocolate-dipped mason jar.
The savory half is where the anniversary menu stretches out. Crispy Zucchini opens things up, crusted in Parmesan cheese with sesame soy for dipping. The Sedona BBQ Chicken Salad piles chipotle grilled chicken, roasted corn, and avocado over romaine, finished with chipotle lime vinaigrette and crispy tortilla strips.
Prefer something earthier? The Forest Mushroom Flatbread is baked with creamy goat cheese, caramelized onions, and arugula, then finished with truffle oil.
Then there’s the Grilled Steak Sandwich, stuffed into a French baguette with roasted mushrooms, tomato jam, and horseradish cream. The Gnocchi closes it out with grilled chicken breast, sweet peppers, rapini, and a mole cream sauce. Mole on gnocchi is a genuinely unexpected call at a place best known for milkshakes, and I want it immediately.
How long is the anniversary menu available?
The anniversary dishes run through September 30, so the window is short. Reservations are open now for any date inside it, and the rest of the Universal CityWalk lineup is worth a look if Toothsome is booked when you want it.
If the chocolate coin is the thing you want, the Saturday afternoon celebration is where you take home a custom engraved chocolate coin featuring the 10-year anniversary logo.
Shark Take: Book the reservation first, then plan around it. Toothsome fills up on normal weekends, and a 10-year anniversary weekend at a Universal Orlando Resort restaurant with this kind of following isn’t going to be quieter. Anyone building a CityWalk day around September 19 should aim for the 3 p.m. opening of the celebration window, not the tail end of it.
