Sonic the Hedgehog Themed Speed Cafe to Open First Georgia Pop-Up Location 

Sonic fans, get ready to rev up your appetite! The Sonic the Hedgehog Speed Cafe, an immersive and family-friendly restaurant pop-up, is set to open its doors in Chamblee, Georgia, on January 18, 2025. This highly anticipated pop-up marks the fifth location for the unique collaboration between SEGA and Secret Sauce Society’s visionary trio—Andy Nguyen, Kevin Seo, and Phillip Huynh—and will be the first of its kind in Georgia.

The Sonic the Hedgehog Speed Cafe first made waves in San Diego, California, in July 2023, delighting gaming fans and foodies with its inventive menu and vibrant atmosphere. Following its successful debut, the pop-up expanded to Chino Hills, CA, Katy, Texas, and returned to San Diego for a second round in 2024. Now, the Georgia location promises to bring the same excitement to the Southeast.

Step into Sonic’s universe as the vibrant eatery brings the iconic gaming world to life with its nostalgic decor. Fans can indulge in a menu inspired by the beloved franchise, featuring items like:

• Sonic’s Classic Chili Dog
• Knuckles’ Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich
• Piko Piko Tenders
• Golden Ring Onion Rings
• Fast Fries, paying homage to Sonic’s legendary speed
• Green Hill Vegan Chili Cup

The beverage menu offers creative drinks inspired by Sonic and his friends, including the Blue Blur Blueberry Slush (Sonic), Smashing Echidna Fruit Punch Slush (Knuckles), Team Dark Mocha Milkshake (Shadow), and the Sweet Amy Strawberry Milkshake (Amy Rose). Each order will arrive in custom-designed packaging featuring fan-favorite characters, and exclusive Sonic-themed merchandise—like T-shirts, hats, and crewneck sweatshirts—will be available for purchase.

The Chamblee location is debuting new menu options to celebrate its arrival in the Peach State, such as:
