Only few things more pleasant than spent a windy Sunday afternoon with family or friend swarming with sticky melting hot dark chocolate at Max Brenner’s. With specific niche market of chocolate lover, this chocolate cafe chain from Israel has been around since 1996 with its baldy man trademark.
Max Brenner Parramatta
We visited the Parramatta branch which is embedded together with Westfield Shopping center just opposite the Parramatta Train Station. The decoration and ambiance definitely casual and rebellious. It’s quite a full house for 4pm session.
If you are not familiar with the center, it probably quite uneasy to find it as it literally at the very edge of the complex bordering and have direct access from the station.
It has outside seating as well although I would not recommend it as it also near the bus hub. Unless you are quite diesel tolerant, just take the inside seating..
max brenner's suckao
You can find all kind of standard chocolate drink and dessert from cookies, fondues, waffles and choc cake to the very exotic signature dessert..
One of the signature drink is “Suckao” (Suck Kakao) where a candle is lit on the bottom of the glass practically become a burner for a shot of milk.
Then you can melt yourself some dark chocolate chip with the thickness that you can decide yourself. You can go to melt the whole serving of the chip and make it super dense hot chocolate. Or just give a hint of chocolate in the milk and enjoy the choc chip like a peanut….
You can choose among dark, milk or white chocolate. This drink will set you back $6.50
We also order a Tutti-Fruti Waffle where a piece of crusty Belgian waffles was drizzled with pure melted chocolate, serve with fresh bananas, strawberry and chocolate ice cream.
The Waffles
This fruity dessert cost you $13.50. You can also order double size for additional $4. I have to say that the waffle is superb but enough just with the chocolate. The rest of the serving did not really belong.
As the maximizer, don’t forget to order “Chocolate Lick” your personal pure melted chocolate for your licking !
Overall, while cannot really complaint about the dessert serve, but to serve all of our order no less than 40 minutes is pretty ordinary.
It seems although the number of staff is quite abundant, the serving speed need to be given more attention as none of our order is required any brewery. Just take from the self. Yes, the guest was quite crowded, but there is plenty of room for improvement.
Chocolate Lick
Other than that small whinge, we have a great afternoon.
