Rachel Leah Blumenthal is a Somerville-based writer, photographer, and musician. Think you can bring children here and get out with your sanity and wallet intact? Pure imagination.
A suggestion: make it a date night and leave the kiddies at home. It's certainly fun and romantic - it'd be a perfect spot for a first date or a girls' night out - but better (and cheaper) desserts can be found elsewhere. When it comes down to it, it's comfort food with a fairly high price tag (and a disastrous sugar crash once you head home). Once you get beyond the beautiful presentation, the desserts range from standard to pretty good, but nothing is truly awe-inspiring. Much like Willy Wonka's world, nothing at Max Brenner is quite what it seems on the surface. That's what Max Brenner is here for: to give us chocolate. You came here for a chocktail and dessert. 21 menu pages, 5343 reviews, 41 photos - Max Brenner menu in Boston. There's non-dessert food available as well, but let's get real. 21 menu pages, 5343 reviews, 41 photos - Max Brenner menu in Boston. Indecisive? Try the "Sharing" - a tasting for two which includes small portions of fondue, a banana split waffle, chocolate sponge cake, and the most intriguing, a crispy chocolate eggroll. (Satisfaction? Achieved.)įor colder weather, try one of several hot chocolate options, served in a Hug Mug, "a specially designed mug for the hot chocolate drinking ceremony.shaped so that you can hug it in both hands to create the ultimate experience of coziness, warmth and fragrance."Īs for dessert, you'll find everything from waffles to fondue to milkshakes to crepes, not to mention a generous selection of cakes, cookies, and ice cream.
MAX BRENNER BOYLSTON PLUS
Based on the waitress' recommendation, I tried the Satisfaction Guaranteed: peanut and caramel liqueur and milk chocolate served in a stemless martini glass balanced in a bowl of ice, accompanied by a tiny beaker of more of the same drink, plus a little dish of chocolate-roasted peanuts. If you're in the mood, go for the "chocolate aphrodisiacs" section of the drink menu. Many of the cocktails are actually "chocktails" - chocolate-based. Part store and part restaurant, Max Brenner offers an extensive dessert and drink menu that will make you gain weight as you flip through the pages. Dine in, buy gifts, or just stare in awe. Max Brenner - "chocolate by the bald man" - is a rich, sweet heaven for chocoholics (and hell for dieters). It's chocolate, chocolate everywhere, and all of it to drink and eat and slather on as body lotion. There is no chocolate lake here, but there might as well be. I feel like I should be led into Max Brenner by an eccentric man in a purple coat, swinging a cane and singing about imagination.
