Tasted chocolate pizza with marshmallow toppings for the first time. Even though I didn't finish the whole thing, it was really delicious and the way the fudge melts in your mouth is just wonderful.

Amanda Kowal Kenyon

Great kids menu . Dark hot chocolate and Mac & cheese delish (trust them with the marinara sauce that comes on the side). Desserts that say "for 2" are really for 4-6. Get the Mess Party or fondue .

Angela Luna

Don't try to do both dinner and dessert . Mac n cheese is amazing!!!! So is the thick Italian hot chocolate . If you're in the mood to get tipsy, get the classic chocolate martini .

Aubrie Ahmadpour

The hot chocolate here is so delicious and rich, it’s a must especially during the Winter time! The fondue and basically any dessert here is very good.

Came in here for desserts . The Thick Italian hot chocolate is very rich & yummy. Ordered this lava cake which was also great. This place could get really crowded , so bring with you a lot of patience.

Sarah Kim

My only complaint: too much chocolate . My favorite aspect: too much chocolate . Never eat here alone or just two people, because you will get sick of chocolate . Great for small groups

John Barnham

Cheese steak waffle thing was epic. I literally could not move afterwards. But trumped for the delicious choccy fondue , it's well worth it.

ZenFoodster

Fun & well worth long wait & spotty service! Hip dessert chain w/ everything chocolate-pastries, fondue , ice cream , cocktails & soda fountain drinks. Stick w/ the sweet items & skip the savory dishes!

Anke Remue

Desserts are only with chocolate . So if you come make sure everyone likes it (who doesn't?) Great service, great food , fantastic dessert and hot chocolates ????

Sherry Ju

Chocolate fondue ! ???????????? You also get to grill (or burn) your own marshmallows ! Don't forget to stop by the famous bookstore nearby while in the neighbourhood.

Yulia

I had the tiramisu (top picture) - it is absolutely amazing. But I would suggest to split it between two people. It's too much sweetness for just one person- despite its deceivingly small appearance.

Muire McCallion

Make sure you leave room for dessert !! :) the Sunday Pasta is fantastic and could easily be split between two people. Seriously, save room for dessert !! The S'mores Sundae is beyond words!

Flow G

Love max Brenner the Italian hot chocolate is delicious..and for winters it's perfect..the fondues are nice..the crepes and waffles r nice..it tends to get pricy but the experience is worth it..

Sevgi Sairoglu

Can't go wrong with the smores icream cup! Make sure you save space for the dessert after the meal ;)

Paige C

Service was impeccable. Our waiter went above and beyond for my family. Food was delicious but obviously dessert was the highlight! Fondue all the way!

Hector

Share a panini (small portion) because you want to leave room for a ton of dessert - the only reason to eat here. Very crowded , loud . Chocolate pizza , sundae , crepe , waffles - can't go wrong.

Ingredients: Chocolate , strawberry ketchup , vanilla cream mustardTo know: The Chocolate Burger has been on the menu in Union Square since opening in 2006. Approximately 50 are sold weekly. Read more

Jenny Ann

All of the hot chocolates are excellent. Try the Mexican or Italian Thick. Delicious! Also, the fondue for two is wonderful date dessert . Large portions of everything and certainly worth the price.

Jatin Abacousnac

Had fondue with my date on Valentine's Day, and it was sooo worth it! <3 The place is likely to be packed, especially on special occasions . Ooh, also worth checking out are the drinks!

Tim Deng

So much chocolate . Love the boozy chocolate drinks. Don’t order too much dessert — you think you can eat it all, but it’s really sweet.

AJN

The fondue was amazing. The chocolate lava cake was yummy! Chocolate beer was tempting but far too filling with the other selections mentioned. Next time chocolate pizza and chocolate beer ! A+ service

Halstead Property

Can you scream chocolate ? The classic European chocolate fondue comes with velvety milk and dark chocolate to go with amazing fresh fruit , airy sponge cake , chunky cookies , and sugary toffee sauce.

Gabriel Hayes

The milkshakes are great. Particularly enjoy the Salted Caramel Milkshake . Made with vanilla ice cream , milk chocolate ganache , caramel , sea salt , milk and whipped cream .

Social News Network

Make a reservation ahead of time or be prepared to wait a while when you get there. Get the melting chocolate truffle heart cake and shake-it's a sweet tooth overload served on an adorable platter!

Jenna McCloskey

The mac and cheese here lives up to all of my expectations. It really is super cheesy and ultra creamy. (Make sure to leave room for dessert too!)

Shaun Weston

If you're looking for a small snack , walk past. Chocolate is a big thing here, and who cares if it doesn't taste like Lindt – it's still chocolate , and pizza , and lots of big people in small chairs.

Cherie Ploof

Delicious! Had a sandwich which was on a rosemary waffle and dessert was to die for! So wonderful! Next time I come here it will be for breakfast !!

Rewan Parti

They have amazing chocolate hazelnut milkshake , order the veggie burger , Sunday Moody's pasta and end with their fondue . Make sure you have a reservation during weekends!

Mustafa Taha Özal

Willy Wonka is Alive. Make a reservation !

Fernanda Castanho

All desserts and drinks with chocolate are just marvelous! Go for the crystal sugar churros fondue , simply amazing! The food is average, a little bit overpriced. It's a dessert restaurant after all.

Saba S-c

Dark Italian hot chocolate is just a dream. The food is a bit expensive for what it is, but the experience is unique. Chocolate fondue for two was also decadent. I love it and can wait to return.

Lauren ????????????

Make a reservation online in advance ! Amazing drinks and dessert ! Highly recommend the chocolate pizza :) if anything trust me on the reservation , saves so much time !

Yamila K

Very friendly staff . I'd recommend the fondue and the waffles but don't go for them when the strawberries are not in season. The italian hot chocolate is very think, creamy and rich.

Elizabeth Burstein

Came here w jesse and vera. Enjoyed the fondue platter and the caramel hot coco . Too much sugar! The hot coco didnt taste too dif from swiss mix ;)

Aron Cohen

shamelessly touristy , but who the hell cares. the roast chicken salad is possibly one of the best rich salads I've ever had. the mac & cheese was sublime as well .

Nigel Hudson

Chocolate ! Lots and lots of chocolate ! Had the French Toast with Spiced Apple and White Chocolate Sauce for breakfast . OMG!

Pradnya W

The hazelnut hot chocolate made me cry from extreme joy. Mac and cheese and flatbreads were exceptional as well . Always get a reservation .

Jean Woroniecki

Love the s'mores Sunday! Also like some of the savory waffle pairings, the chocolate cocktails , and boozy lemonade !

Graphic Agency

In one iteration, Max Brenner’s own milk chocolate ganache is infused with sea salt and caramel , then melded with equal parts cream and milk before getting topped with a dreamy layer of whipped cream .

drew tarvin

Go on an empty stomach because you'll want to eat everything. And once you decide on a dessert , don't look at the rest of the menu, it'll only make you doubt yourself (or order 10 desserts ).

Keith Kaplan

Love their chocolate dessert varieties. I ordered the milk chocolate granita . It was so rich and creamy. Next time I want to try their pizza dessert .

Ailie Chang

Great place to take your tourist friends. Get the cheesesteak waffle sandwich , frozen lemonade , strawberry hazelnut crepe ! Their hazelnut is so good!

Zoe Frazer

If you love chocolate , go to max brenner... Italian hot chocolate and urban smores are the best... this is my favorite place of all time!

Freka Sexy

This place is great, nice environment and great food/desert! Some employees can be extremely unprofessional (starting live videos possibly filming customers without consent while on the job, not fun.)

Salem Alsubaie VI

Sugar coma, one of my favorite chocolate places so far, get the mac and cheese or the steak and cheese waffle for dinner !!

Judy Yeddo

The bacon lettuce tomato avocado sandwich w/cilantro mayo is amazing the fries on the side with the chipotle mayo go great with it, ask for extra cilantro mayo on the side dip your fries in both

Rohit Chandra Bajaj

Superb place, love the white chocolate cheesecake crepe , white hot chocolate , the melting chocolate truffle heart cake n shake ....Very nice and a must visit if you drool over the word chocolate :)

Sonnett Swaby-Brizan

Yummy. Try to avoid the major busy times 7-11 pm, Lunch in great. The Brenner Burger . And Fondue dessert .

Mark Heyert

What can I say that hasn't been said already? The number one place for hot chocolate in NYC. Order club soda with your chocolate the carbonation makes a great sensation.

Jana L.

Fun stop, especially with kids in tow. Food is surprisingly good for a niche restaurant . Dont feel like you have to order something sweet as your entree, you'll have sweet overload w/out even trying.
