Fondue is amazing. Strawberries, bananas, marshmallows and pieces of banana bread to dip into chocolate sauce. So yummy and delicious
Fondue for two is amazing. Milk chocolate, dark chocolate or white chocolate with strawberries, banana and piece of banana bread. So decadent and delicious.
Service is ok, room for improvement. It is a busy store though!
Max Brenner as been well known for their chocolate so when I went in. Most often crowded and the service is always slow. The place was fully packed and the service was average.
Awesome chocolate experience. They have a new summer deserts menu & we tried the mint sundae- really yummy. Staff were friendly even though they were busy & my only negative is there were lots of tables still to be cleared & wiped down.
Ordered the Chocolate Pizza with a Crunch. For $16 the size was not terribly expensive but not exactly cheap either. It tasted pretty good, very much a chocolate overdose. I like Max Brenner and would return again but probably wouldn't order the chocolate pizza. While it was good it is a bit overrated considering all the praise I've heard about chocolate pizzas from my friends. Both my friend and I agree that the atmosphere of this particular store isn't too great since it is in a laneway and walkway. Since it is a franchise, most of the offerings are the same as you would find elsewhere.
Great place to grab a hot chocolate and a few chocolate pieces from the display on a cold winters day.
My fave place for indulging in chocholates. Love the waffles with strawberries and chocholate but my most favorite is the Babka. It's so rich and chocholatey with a hint of cinnamon. Love the hot dark chocholate in the hugging mug.
Quality of food and drink: for those who love chocolate very much (chocolate lovers) , Max Brenner is the place you should go.
Service: Some of the staff were not very friendly and helpful.
Price: Too be honest it is a bit pricey.
max brenner is ok. they are very busy and with such a small store in melbourne central (for how packed they get), it is difficult for the staff to clear tables fast enough and make the drinks on time. our drinks were great tasting, but a little on the slow side, and as a result my mocha was only warm when it arrived. I could have swallowed it in one sip (to give you an idea). not terrible and not that bad, but I would have liked it a bit hotter, to be able to enjoy it longer. our table was not cleared the whole time we were there and they did not give us any water (the previous patron's water bottle was still on the table).
i agree with the others, 6.00 for a mocha is expensive. good for a treat every now and then but i wouldn't make it a habit.
Approximate cost: $15
The meals and beverages are absolutely to die for! My only issue is the excessive price of hot drinks! $6.50 for a mocha is roughly twice the standard price! However the quality makes up for it. Waffles with chocolate sauce, strawberries + bananas are fantastic.
Approximate cost: $15
Love the coffee. Generally all the drinks are WOW but the dessert is not that good. Probably the best one is the chocolate baba, other than that, they are just average. Waffle is disapponting, chocolate pizza is not that great.
My fave is the suckao. that is just great.
If you feel like treating yourself, do not give these guys a miss. Must try this place at least once in your lifetime. Absolutely yummy and will always remember the gastronomical experience.
Approximate cost: $17
Yep, it's pricey. Yep, it's not going to help that diet.
... but it (along with its other suburban counterparts) is THE BEST CHOCOLATE EXPERIENCE IN MELBOURNE.
There is nothing richer or more indulgent than Max Brenner anything.
Approximate cost: $10
I find the hot chocolate here is moderate. But what they lack in hot chocolate, they make up in waffles. The waffles are amazing and yummy. My girlfriend loves the strawberry waffles with chocolate in them. Other than that, I think the location is the best. It's right smack in the best part of the city - melbourne central! It's a great place to hang out, and is frequently packed.
I remember going here when it first opened. It was great. The hot chocolate I had was lovely and my friends loved their coffees. The staff were really friendly. Some of the products seem a bit expensive but I would still buy them as a gift for someone.
Approximate cost: $3.00
Great for those with sweet tooth. Love the concept of melting and boiling own chocolate drink. Great friendly staff.
Had waffles and SUCKAO during the last visit. Loving it.
this is the indulgence centre for any chocholics out there! absolute bliss. the pure melted chocolate drizzled over your belgium waffle is to die for. dont worry about licking your plate clean cause everyone does it :O) it is very pricey but is worth it
Approximate cost: $varies
pretty good but not wow sums it all up, as a regular, usually get a pretty good reception and generally friendly staff, on busy days can wait pretty long for food and drinks, the ambiance is always nice and busy. but cant say no to the chocolate
It's one of the best place or Cafe to go to with your friends or family. The coffee and the menu are really great and delicious. You can choose from many nice varieties that they have and you really will enjoy it
We so wish Max Brenner would open in Perth! We visited this warm and comforting cafe and had the most wonderful experience. The croissant with chocolate sauce was the best thing I have ever tasted. The hot chocolate created chocolate overload but would not have missed it for the world.
An absolute must for the chocolate lover!!! I usually go here to get dessert rather than the restaurant im dining at....have started a chain reaction with all of my friends.....its chocolate heaven.....dont get me started on what my girlfriend thinks....she could live in the place.
A must visit for all chocolate lovers and thos who are guilty of possessing a sweet tooth. A variety of dishes to choose from, with one common onk.......CHOCOLATE!!! Value for money.
Approximate cost: $10.00
The most amazing hot chocolate ever! Great product, however recently when visiting i have had to wait in long cues to get served and quite often there is no seating available and i am required to wait periods of time to be seated.
Delicious chocolate drinks and various chocolate treats.a real must for any chocaholic.Can be expensive and gets very busy with long queues for any available table
I am a self confessed chocoholic and I just cannot gt enough of "The Bald Man"! There is nothing quite like the souffle and a hot chocolate served in a hug mug on a cold and wintery melbourne day. Mind you the Suck. COme summer time the frappes and strawberries with dipping chocolate are just the thing!
very good food especially souffle and waffle ... make sure they heat it up for you because sometimes they skip it ... good place for casual hang out with firends ... sometimes it is hard to get a table ...
Approximate cost: $7
The chocolate is really good .. I've tried many several items and was moslty satisfied..one thing that happened occasionally was that the souffle or brownie wasn't heated up which would be strange because how else would you eat a souffle if it wasnt hot out of the over!! the seating isn't very comfortable but once you start eating you'd stop noticing that.
Approximate cost: $6
mmmmm chocolate! i love everything about this place and everything on the menu! you must get a hug mug of hot chocolate its by far the best hot chocolate ever! make sure you come here on an empty stomach and go for a run after as its a little naughty!
