Famous place, always filled with children. I don’t usually have dessert so only tried it once. Ordered my favorite New York cheese cake and ultimate chocolate brownie. Both of them are amazing, but a bit too sweet lol. Feeling sugar floating in my veins.
One of the better max brenners. Good service, waffles always fresh. Tables not always cleared, and fruit could be fresher - old strawberries ect.
Omg! Max-Brenner! Where have you been all my life??
I've seen plenty of chocolate cafes, but this on is one of my favorites. If you have not had their amazing chocolate licks yet, you're really missing out.
Apart from that we also has the white chocolate mess and that was soo good. At first we freaked out at the quantity but once we started eating we finished in minutes.
So, anywhere I find a max-Brenner I'm definitely going!
I loveeeee chocolates. Need I say more? 🙈 the cakes were delish, the coffee was good. Definitely a place to go for a chat with a friend. 😀
Had the salted caramel tart here and was pleasantly suprised at how delicious it was. It was lovely and watm and the base was crumbly and buttery. Really delicious and soft and not overly sweet. Herbal teas pots here are a real novelty
They must have read the reviews here, because they certainly seem to have improved their service ! Quick to take orders, accommodative, reasonable serve times. AND they have SKIM MILK hot chocolate !!! I understand that not all Max Brenner outlets do this, so yay for the Belconnen outlet.
This is a great place for a bit of indulgence! The chocolate is YUM! But, on the relatively few times we've visited, service is really slow, there are ALWAYS dirty tables; the wait staff bring out food & drinks and walk straight past tables with dirty plates, cups and glasses on them, back into the kitchen empty-handed. The last time we visited, we asked how long it would take (implying we were not able to be too long) and our chocolate pizza (which was really good when we eventually got it!) sat on the counter for 5 minutes getting cold & when we got up to collect it, the waitress insisted she bring it to our table and still served someone else before doing so! They've got the food / drinks sorted, now all they need to do is sort out the staff!
Alll the chocolate. I first went here back when it first opened and have enjoyed every time since.
Yes, the staff can be slow to clear tables but I've never had a problem with the speed of the meals.
I particularly like the Cookieshake, Thick italian hot chocolate (to the person complaining about it not being thick, they must have gotten a bad one, it's always been quite thick and delicious for me), Chocolate brownie sundae (like some sort of sweet, delicious death) and the waffles, mmm the waffles!
The only downside, for me, is the kids. I know, if I had kids, I wouldn't be willing to spend $40 on waffles and a shake for them and wish other people wouldn't either.
Great for kids. Too sweet for my taste. Place is looking tired, and a bit dirty. Understaffed but service was relatively quick. Wasn't very busy at the time we went though. If you like good coffee, go somewhere else. Kids really liked it though.
Reasonable, but looking a bit tired. The cakes were pricey and didn't hit the spot flavour wise for me. I had a choc hazelnut one, it seemed to be a lot of cream and gelatin and the chocolate did not taste that good. The tea + cake deal is still a reasonable deal @ $15. The long opening hours means it's a convenient place for a catch up.
Tried many variety of desserts and drinks many times and overall it’s a great place with amazing ambience. The service sometimes is very friendly and sometimes the staff looks tired and agitated. Overall loved this Max Brenner!
My go-to place almost every weekend in winter. Can"t go wrong with the classic hot choc. Lots of dessert options. May have long wait for the order to come in rush hour.
