Behind an unassuming downtown Greenville entrance lies the most provocatively themed dining experience in the Upstate—a dessert-only restaurant where every menu item, drink name, and design element embraces sensual indulgence.

This award-winning concept brings Key West’s famous original to South Carolina with intimate speakeasy atmosphere, chocolate-rimmed wines, and dessert descriptions that will make you blush before the first bite.

Perfect for date nights, celebrations, or adventurous friends seeking something completely different, Better Than Sex creates an adults-only environment where dessert becomes an experience rather than just the end of a meal.

Seductively Named Dessert Masterpieces

“Between My Red Velvet Sheets” Cheesecake: This signature creation layers red velvet cake flavors throughout silky cheesecake, served on dark chocolate cookie crust with erect chocolate frosting and strawberry teasing. The girthy presentation matches the bold flavors that deliver on the provocative promise.

“Cookie Nookie Pie”: An intensely sweet creation featuring chocolate chip cookie dough crust filled with semi-sweet chocolate and walnuts, served with vanilla bean ice cream caressed in soft caramel and chocolate. The ooey-gooey goodness lives up to its naughty name.

“Man Flowers Chocolate Stout Cake”: Dense, moist chocolate cake infused with stout beer creates complex flavors that appeal to both beer lovers and chocolate enthusiasts. The masculine presentation contrasts beautifully with the dessert’s decadent sweetness.

“Caress My Carrot Cake”: Traditional carrot cake receives the Better Than Sex treatment with cream cheese frosting and playful presentation that transforms familiar flavors into something special and memorable.

Signature Sampler Platter: For indecisive diners, the sampler provides tastes of multiple signature desserts, allowing you to experience the range of flavors and presentations without committing to a single choice.

“Threesome Shots”: Creative dessert shots designed for sharing provide playful ways to sample different flavors while embracing the restaurant’s cheeky theme throughout the entire experience.

Other Considerations

Premium Pricing Structure: Expect to pay $15-25 per dessert and $10-15 for specialty drinks, reflecting the unique experience and quality ingredients. The pricing positions this as special occasion dining rather than casual dessert.

Reservation Requirements: Reservations strongly recommended, especially for Friday and Saturday evenings when the intimate setting fills quickly with date night couples and celebrating friends.

Downtown Parking Logistics: College Street location provides convenient access to downtown attractions but requires paid parking or walking from nearby garages. Factor parking costs into your evening budget.

Limited Seating Capacity: The intimate design means limited tables, so last-minute visits may face waits during peak periods. Planning ahead ensures you get the full experience.

Dietary Accommodations: While the focus is indulgent desserts, they accommodate some dietary restrictions when possible. Call ahead to discuss specific needs with the kitchen.

Perfect Date Night Venue: The combination of unique concept, romantic atmosphere, and memorable experience makes this ideal for anniversaries, proposals, or simply breaking routine with something completely different from typical dinner dates.
