This location is in the middle of Times Square. Great place to grab a hot chocolate on a cold day to walk around. The location is small. There is no seating in the location. The girl that helped me at the counter was very kind. They sell a variety of chocolates and hot chocolate. I ordered the Italian hot chocolate in a size small. It was delicious - if you love chocolate, this is for you. For me it was personally too sweet and thick but still good.
Nice place to get hot cocoa. But there is no place to sit and drink, so you basically have to buy and go. But it was perfect for a cold day in NYC. Located in the Times Square area next to the M&M store. I would stop again if I needed something warm to drink around the Time Square area. The service was good too.
We ordered the Dubai Hot Chocolate that was advertised outside of the store. I asked the man at the counter if it will look exactly like the photo. He assured me that it would. I asked again before I paid for it and again, he told me it would look exactly like the picture. When he handed me the hot chocolate, I thought it was a joke. He actually said, "well it might not look exactly like the photo". I didn't want the ridiculous drink he made me but he refused to refund my money. See the pics below.
This is good hot chocolate, but very rich and thick. Almost too much so. They have an extra small and small. Only get the extra small. I didn't try adding milk or the marshmallow ($1.25 extra). The line moves quickly, they gave out free chocolate samples while in the line and the price seems fair for Times Square.
Hot chocolate was really good. It was a little too sweet for my taste, but was still delicious. It's near Times Square NYC.
Max Brenner was recommended as a must visit chocolate store by a few friends on our visit to NYC but left us a bit disappointed. It was a very small menu and they were out of waffles so there wasn't much left to try. We ordered hot chocolate, which was nearly $8 for a small size. The hot chocolate was good but nothing too different from what you'd get anywhere else.
We ordered hot chocolate and it was delicious! The service was great and the most important thing its Kosher. All the chocolate that they sell are kosher. Just like in Israel
So happy we got to stop by and grab a hot chocolate for our boys to try. We used to have a Max Brenner at the Caesars Palace in LV but unfortunately they closed. Our son LOVED their hot chocolate. My husband and I ordered the Oreo shake which was extremely delicious! Still thinking about it. The service was decent and this spot was small and cozy. If you ever have a chance to stop by and your hot chocolate cravings arise, check out this spot- you wont regret it
We stopped in the Max Brenner store in the middle of Time Square because I wanted to try their hot chocolate. It was rich and decadent...super sweet but delicious on a rainy, cold day in NY. The gentleman working there was very friendly and gave us samples to try. We did end up purchasing the chocolate covered pecans which were super good.
Of all of the premium hot chocolates we've tried in New York City, Max Brenner is by far the best! It has plenty of chocolate flavor without being bitter, and plenty of milky creaminess without being too dilute. It's a very nice treat to have on a cold day when walking around the city! The service was quick and easy, and there were lots of beautiful boxes and other chocolate goodies in the shop to look at while waiting for your drink. Would definitely recommend you check this out if you are going on a hot chocolate tour around New York!
Came here on a whim while on my way to dinner and ordered their Italian hot chocolate with marshmallow and it was pretty good. It was sweet but I truly enjoyed it. In a way, it kinda remind me of the hot chocolates at the Bryant Park holiday market. This place is small so it's more of a grab and go spot. 4.5 stars
First Impressions- came in the store in a whim for a cup of hot chocolate and to get a break out from the cold and crowds of Times Square... the store was pretty messy and had some trash on the floor, old receipts and napkins and leftover detritus. But there was only one girl in the whole shop, so I'll cut her some slack The Noms: I really enjoyed the hot chocolate. Not too thick, not too thin... it's the perfect consistency. I got it with whipped cream, and it was so creamy and delicious. Wish there would be something whimsical like chocolate shavings on top or some crushed peppermint... but honestly this was satisfying to get out of the cold after looking at the 5th ave light shows and seeing the Rockefeller Christmas tree. It really hit the spot. In conclusion - I would come back here for another cup of hot chocolate, it is pretty pricey at almost $7, but it was a nice treat, and I don't have it often. Would definitely recommend the hot chocolate here.
Very patient gentleman at the counter. He was very busy but calm, even with a line forming outside after the Thanksgiving parade. He earns high stars. As for the store, it is small but with wall to wall chocolate merchandise. Hot chocolate was sold out so he kept telling people it's a bit of a wait for the next batch. Watched him pour a container of chocolate ganache into the milk. We didn't want to wait for it so asked for shakes instead. Generous amount of vanilla ice cream and scoops of ganache went in the blender. Granita shake was with ganache only, Oreo one was granita with cookies blended in. Looked good but we were disappointed bec didn't get the richer chocolate flavor. Their chocolate is just too sweet and reminded me of chocolate syrup.

Max Brenner Times Square is best to me during the Winter holiday season. A hot coffee and or hot chocolate is so traditional during cold holiday sightseeing and shopping days. The items here make great gifts. The chocolate is pricy but good. I like the gift sets and tins. I'm thinking you should go if you're in the area. read more

Small store front with no seating room. In the middle of Times Square - great location. Solid hot chocolate. I got the original and got my brother the Oreo milkshake - both were a hit. The original hot chocolate was milky and not sickly sweet. Really enjoyed it on a rainy cold New York day. The guy making it was really nice and gave extra cups to split the hot cocoa for my kids. They have great gift items too that are packaged nicely. read more
Max Brenner Times Square - smaller than the one in Union Square but has most of the same items if you are looking to shop quick and convenient especially for the tourists. Many people stop here to purchase hot chocolate and the line and wait is bit long for that. Usually come here to pick up a gift box of chocolates which they have a variety to select from for the holidays. Prices have gone up during the years.. but the selection for the most part is the same with some new varieties. You can also make your own gift boxes. read more

Was staying at the hotel above the Times Square location and decided to get a signature chocolate shake while I waited for my wife. I was the only customer in the store. The drink consisted of appx 4 oz of milk a scoop of chocolate powder and to the brim with ice. I commented "thats it for chocolate?" The blended drink was pale in color and had nothing but a hint of chocolate flavor. What a let down. $8.13 for hint of chocolate flavor. read more

Small little shop in Times Square. Service was friendly. The sell chocolates, coffee, a few pastries and hot chocolate. I got a hot chocolate. It was just ok. SUPER thick and sweet so if that's not your thing don't get it. Also as with everything in Times Square of course it's overpriced for small portions. read more
Overall 4/5 stars! It was quite a windy night in Times Square and Max Brenner's hot cocoa definitely kept me and my hands warm! I only had the hot chocolate, which was phenomenal, but I do have to give a fair warning that although it was very nice and rich, the pure chocolate was wonderful but a little too sweet for my taste. If I had some almond or oatmilk to be able to displace the sweetness a bit, I would say it would've been perfect for my tastebuds! If you aren't a super sweet-inclined person, I would definitely go for the smaller serving (right photo in the one with the two cups!) read more

Best hot chocolate! Rich and thick, surprisingly not sickeningly sweet like some hot chocolates or chocolate bombs can be. They use their high-quality chocolate in this. If they did frozen hot chocolates, i'd be in line for the summer. Their chocolates and other confectionery items are also really good! They gave out some samples when I went by. read more
Picked up some Valentines chocolate here and have to say the first thing that stuck me was okay how lovely the employees were! Given it was valentines they were busy but made a point to greet everyone that came into the store . The store is small but filled with chocolate treasure - they have pre made boxes, truffle boxes you can customize, hot chocolate- basically everything a chocolate lover would like. Their prices are not bad at all and on par for premium chocolates! We got a box of 9 truffles for valentines- beautiful looking chocolates in a pretty presentation box. The truffles were good - loved some of them - but one or two were not my favorite and were a little grainy for some reason but most were just delicious and make the perfect decedent little bit of chocolate read more

Max Brenners was awesome. In a good part of the city where you are close to Times Square, etc, but far enough away to not be overcrowded and price gouged. The ambiance was casual but special here due to its chocolate factory and cafe feel. It was a chilly night, so our group of three got hot chocolate. It was rich but delicious. We ordered wings and burgers. Our dessert was the restaurant's specialty chocolate fondue with crepes, waffle & whip cream, along with fruit chocolate biscotti. To top everything off, the service was perfect. Our server Matt was funny, prompt, and friendly and did not rush us even though it was the end of the night. Will come again! read more
Great shop in the Times Square area. There were two employees, which is more than enough for the size of the store, about 100 square feet or something. There were an array of prepackaged chocolates in fancy boxes and a build-your-own-box option. They also serve fresh hot chocolate in little machines right at the counter. Definitely a place to stop by, even if just to look! read more

Tried them at the Bryant park holiday market and LOVED the hot chocolate. Super rich but not in a sugary way, my only complaint is that they don't have vegan/non dairy milk options read more
