If you know anything about Dad, then you know that I am a sucker for chocolate, and when I first heard of Max Brenner I thought “this is too good to be true!” Over the years I have spent a small fortune on the continual and original reinvention of Chocolate recipes at Max Brenner’s, whether it be in its solid or liquid forms, and folks it’s all bloody good. I am sure that if heaven exists then for me, Max Brenner encompasses all things that I hold close to my heart. It’s Godly people.
Max Brenner is a dessert bar that essentially offers an incredible variety of Milk, Dark or White dessert options that has a unique taste and quality that is sure to leave you wanting more. I have tried, tasted and loved everything on the menu, however if I was to create a list of top items that Max Brenner consistently nails every time (and is value for money) then these would be “Dad’s Max Brenner Hits”.
Italian Thick Hot Chocolate – I honestly believe that these Hot Chocolates are the best Hot Chocolates I have ever tasted. I personally think the Milk Chocolate flavor has the best consistency and isn’t too watery or too sweet. The dense chocolate taste is incredibly creamy, however doesn’t dry out your mouth with any oversaturation of cacao. I have also been to Italy and could not find a Hot Chocolate that compared to Max Brenner’s.
Chocolate Souffle – This is my favorite edible item on the menu to pair with the Italian Hot Chocolate. The souffle is warm and soft on the outside, however once broken into, is centered with smooth, rich chocolate sauce. The plate is decorated masterfully with milk chocolate and goes well with a side of vanilla ice-cream.
Peanut Butter Iced Chockie – This one is my go-to on any hot day. The frappe inspired drink is insanely delicious and has a perfect ratio of peanut butter and chocolate taste, that also has quite a thick and rich consistency. There will be lots of stuck straws as there are nuts-a-plenty and at least one ‘brain freeze’ will be experienced.
Waffle Celebration – This one is last on the list, mainly due to the fact that it is a little overpriced. The waffles at Max Brenner are crisp, yet thick and filling which also have a unique taste when paired with Max Brenner chocolate. I am not sure why its recommended for sharing between two people, however offer only three waffles (that last waffles mine!). The waffles taste great with ice-cream and sugar coated strawberries all balancing delicately on your fork.
Max Brenner is a unique yet delicious dessert bar that offers great tasting desserts and beverages that will be sure to impress. Max Brenner also has an incredible selection of praline options and a fully stocked shop where you can buy almost anything that you can see in store.
My verdict: Worth it for dessert and beverage options totaling $25 per person. Menu items and add-ons can get quite pricey.
I was pretty impressed with the crepes, they were moist, no stingy on filings and not overly sweet, the got chocolate with waffle balls is my favourite! Sooo good like a hot chocolate with little chocolate covered coco pops. The waffles were a little too sweet for my liking but my friend enjoyed them. Food came out fast as well.
We loved 😍
This place opens pretty late most nights so is good for a late night dessert. We always order the tutti frutti waffles. They are crispy and a little chewy - just the way I like it. If you ordered a hot drink, be sure to add in malt balls!
