First time going here! Had a long line which was worth it! Will def come back as they have sooo many delicious options. Everything was great but the tiramisu pancakes were a bit dry and the lady fingers were hard, thought they would be soaked or softer. Regardless they have so many more options to try! And the cookie had chocolate inside the middle of it read more

Chocolate cookie was decadent and full of awesomeness. The ice cream was good the customer service was meh. You'd think that 11 bucks for ice cream would elicit some friendliness but maybe lady was having a bad day. Definitely a must try when visiting Brisbane! read more

After walking along South Bank for a few hours and playing on their wonderful playground, we decided we wanted something to satiate out sweet tooth. Look no further than Max Brenner: Chocolate by the Bald Man. Upon entering you could immediately tell that they take chocolate very seriously. Everything oozed of chocolate, from the decor, to the smells, to the giant chocolate mixers. If there was a chocolate heaven, this would be it. To start, I had a cappuccino in a kangaroo cup and the girls shared an 80s chocolate milkshake. What's a kangaroo cup you may ask? It's a cup will a little trough on the side that is designed for little chocolate pieces. The heat of the coffee then melts the chocolate and allows it to dribble down into the coffee creating an incredible mocha flavor. A little messy, but so worth it. The girls milkshake was also extremely rich being a chocolate milkshake topped with vanilla ice cream topped with a milk chocolate shell. I don't think they had a clever name for the cup but I did appreciate that they had a hole in the cup that holds the straw. It made for a much more convenient drink. Then we were on to the star of the show! Called the Ott Pizza, the dish consisted of a waffle and brownie bits topped with ice cream, marshmallows, cornflakes, whipped cream, and chocolate drizzled on top. It was big enough to share with all of us (and there were 7 of us eating it). It was warm and gooey and a sweetness overload. When the pizza first arrived the waffle was still warm and crisp and there was a definite sense of urgency to eating it as we didn't want everything to get soggy and melt together. The mix of crunchiness and creamy chocolate and marshmallow made for the perfect marriage. We all ate until we could eat no more. I guess you really can have too much of a good thing as we gave it our best effort but we were unable to finish it all. Next time you're in Brisbane and you're looking for somewhere to indulge your chocolate cravings I definitely recommend Max Brenner! read more

Max Brenner is worth the 50 meter line up with squabbling customers waiting for chocolate. After a fun night out with friends, dessert came to all our minds. "San Churro" one shouted, "Cowch" said another.. "Max B" cried Sara and mutually the nods agreed that old favourite Maxy B boy was the winner. With a new menu up and running a few cool new additions have been made, however these Max lovers couldn't steer from the love of "fondue for 2" or the classic white choc chai. Traditionally Max's doesn't turn my chocolate radar on, but southbank staff and experience never disappoints! Very central on the Southbank walk, coming from either the Mater hospital side or the Ferris wheel side will lead you right to this chocolate shop. Surrounding are a few cool little cafés and things to do, but I vote Max. Always Max. read more

If you want to get chocolate wasted then come to Max Brenner! I've heard so many good things about Max Brenner and I finally had the opportunity to come here last night. My friend and I came here at around 8pm. There was such a long line! We waited for a good amount of time (maybe 20-40 minutes). They have a little gift shop there, so it was cool looking at the products while waiting in line. We got the Chocolate Fondue for Two and I also got a hot milk chocolate. The chocolate fondue was so visually appealing! It came with dark chocolate, milk chocolate, strawberries, bananas, banana bread, and marshmallows. I was really excited to try it out! The chocolate was so thick, so creamy, so rich. It was very sweet. After a couple of pieces, I was so done with chocolate. It was just way too much chocolate for me. I wasn't expecting the chocolate to be so thick and rich. My mouth was numb from the sweetness. The hot milk chocolate just tasted like warm milk; there wasn't much chocolate taste to it. Which was kind of disappointing. Even though I was sick of chocolate, I still wanted to taste the chocolate flavor of the hot chocolate. I wouldn't mind coming back here again to try something else. The ice cream and the milkshakes looked really good! read more

Max Brenner - Chocolate fondue for two - Desserts Near Me - South Bank, QLD

Two words to describe this place...GUILTY PLEASURE! Or just word repeated, Chocolate! Chocolate! CHOCOLATE! This is simply the best place for dessert! If you want dessert for a good size and price, then this is it! I would definitely recommend the vanilla chai tea! It's unique and definitely body warming on a cold winter night! Situated on southbank. Be warned that there will always be a long line out the door of customers, however the wait is definitely worth it! Check out their menu and decide while your in line. The staff there are very affectionate and always smiling. My experience there was pleasant for me and my tummy :) the waffles are always the best! The danish toffee chocolate was rich with the hint of toffee on the tip of the tongue! The sundae is huge! So if you can eat it all, go for it, if not sharing it with a friend or a lover is a good idea too :) Ps, they have a inner chocolate store that you can purchase small boxes of chocolate or fill it yourself customized chocolates boxes :) great gift ideas for chocolate loving friends or family :) read more

I thought that a place that served chocolate would be able to cater for people that cant have dairy, so when i sore that they served soy milk, i was over the moon. Only to be disappointed when i got to the counter to learn that the chocolate had been pre mixed with full cream milk :-( all i wanted was a hot chocolate on soy milk. This may not make sense to some people cause yes chocolate has dairy in it, but when you know how much your body can tolerate before you start becoming ill , its very upsetting. I ended up eating my friends banana's. Dont think ill be back untill they can cater to people with dairy intolerance. read more

This is definately somewhere must go in Brisbane! Even though today is week day afternoon, we still needed to queue up for 8 people. We have 4 girls in total and we ordered tutti frutti and banana pizza(without crunch). They are served quite fast. Both of the desserts are great. They are so yummy that i nearly wanted to lick the plates. It is perfect to share to desserts with four people and I was very full after that. Also, it will be less pricey. In the shop, you can see the chocolate is making in a big container and the environment is comfortable. I will definately go back again and recommend it to other friends. read more

I swear it's possible to gain weight just walking past this place but it is so worth it. My favorite is the fondue for two, if you ask you can get all dark chocolate, that makes it healthy right? Plus there is fruit so you can pretend you aren't one step away from going mouth first into the chocolate pot. Do get a bottle of water as sometimes you just need it to cut the chocolate especially if you have a chocolate heavy plate and cup. Bottles are free at the counter if you are dining in. There is always a line, there is a good reason for that. Everything on the menu will blow the mind of a chocoholic and leave you in a puddle of bliss. read more

Welcome to "ze land of chocolate"; a place akin to the idiotic imaginings of Homer Simpson in the episode where Germans take over the nuclear power plant. You've got to have an affinity for chocolate, or be hanging out with someone who does, to endure the 20+ min wait in their line to try one of 'the bald man's' creations. I'm not actually a huge follower of the cocoa bean, but am rather fond of its associate the coffee bean, so when I go I usually have one of their signature cappuccinos (a happy compromise) which comes with a dollop of chocolate syrup that makes the usual powder seem a little plebeian. I also treated myself to a small chocolate cupcake which was quite delicious and probably just enough for my rather underdeveloped sweet tooth. But if you are one of those serious chocoholics the sky's the limit here: special 'Choc-tails' like the 'Exploding Chocolate Shot' (pure melted chocolate with popping candies and white chocolate), '100% Pure Chocolate Experience Iscream Max-Which' (vanilla ice cream between chocolate cookies with sprinkles for dipping) and many more chocolate covered indulgences. read more

Every once in a while, (for those of us who like it), we have cravings for the heavenly treat known as chocolate. Max Brenner's Chocolate Bar is probably literally made of chocolate. As soon as you walk in, you smell, see and even hear chocolate, if that makes sense. Why not taste it too? There are a huge variety of options available on their menu, ranging from traditional chocolate delicacies to complex amalgamations covered in chocolate. You as a customer have the option to customize your treat to any extent. It is affordable and even though you gain a little weight, you have to enjoy yourself every once in a while, right? Tempting as it may be, it's not like you're going to eat there every day! For those of you looking to eat it another day or bring it home to your loved ones, they have a seperate section of the bar for buying some chocolate. So go on and check it out. read more

Max Brenner - Desserts Near Me - South Bank, QLD

Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate, can I just say I love it??? I finally had a chance to try out this famous place where everyone I knew always raved about it how amazing and delicious this place is. I'm a huge fan of chocolate shops like this, so only naturally did I have to give it a go. Even before stepping inside the store, the smell of chocolate fills up the entire Southbank plaza, you can smell it almost a 1km away. The decor is done very nicely where it reminds me of an upscale pastry shop. There is literally chocolate in every corner of this dessert shop -- they even have a barrel of dark chocolate being mixed (not sure if it's for display or for actual use). I have seen long queues for this place especially at night, as it's a great place for a post-dinner dessert or just a romantic getaway. I ordered their signature tutti frutti waffles with 2 waffles that came with ice cream, strawberries, and bananna as well as a iced dark chocolate mocha frap. I have to say both were delicious, and I wasn't disappointed at all. The one critique that stops me from giving a 5 is that this place is definitely overrated. My mates have told me that before, but I just wanted to try it out. The prices for each of the items is like a dinner in itself where my 2 items costed me $25. I have never spent that on a dessert option alone, so I was shocked -- however in that given day, I wanted to splurge. read more

Many people would consider my love of chocolate an addiction. I mean, I like chocolate, I like eating it, I like baking with it. Is there really anything so wrong with that? It was very nice to visit a place where people understand me. They share the same values as me. That's right, I'm talking about Max Brenner. Chocolate by the bald man. After an extremely dedicated long trip involving 2 wrong busses, a taxi and an extensive walk, my friend and I finally arrived late at night only to have to wait in line for another 30 minutes to simply place an order! I can honestly say I'm slightly pleased to have had this time to be able to choose from the menu though . . . It was one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make in my life. I eventually decided on the tutti frutti waffle: Belgian waffle with melted chocolate, icecream, strawberries and banana. So, I shall leave you with this. It was worth the wait. read more

I wish I could handle my sugar like I used to be able to. Max Brenner is not the place to come for a healthy lunch, let's be straight here, you come here for indulgence and it is not the place for anyone who feels any kind of food-related guilt. EVERYTHING has chocolate involved somehow. I had the feeling that no matter what I ordered I was going to feel slightly sick afterwards, so I tried to keep it simple. Banana bread with a side of fresh strawberries, and a pot of melted chocolate on the side. The banana bread was warm and thickly sliced, the strawberries were ripe and sweet, and the melted milk chocolate was delicious. My dining partner had a dark chocolate souffle and while it looked amazing, she couldn't quite finish it because it was so rich. There is a range of different hot and cold drinks, and these might be a better option if you just want a little taste of something sweet without going all the way down the rabbit-hole of chocolate decadence. A small shop inside the cafe means that you can buy some little treats to take away as well as kitchenware items to create your own chocolate heaven experience at home. There aren't many gluten-free items available, but check with the staff before ordering and they'll be able to let you know what the options are. There is seating inside and outside, so you can do some quality people watching in the main drag of South Bank while you fight off a sugar-induced coma. read more

Now I've only been there once, and I've so far only had one item on their menu, and it was great. Now, it's not too hard to have a delicious ice cream sundae whether it's at home, or when going out, however, I enjoyed the ice cream sundae, with a side of melted chocolate and fresh strawberries. Yum. Yes it is over-priced, but then again so are most places. It's a spot I'd go to on a date night with my husband, or going out with the girls. It's a great place to sit back, indulge on chocolate and hang out. I'm a fan because of the "experience" Max Brenner offers, so I'll be going there again. read more

This place used to be buzzing, until news broke out they were under paying their hard working staffs at multiple chains. But my family and myself still go every once in a while cause were loyal patrons the chocolate by the bald man . The whole menu had gone down the shitter though at this chain, I ordered a smoothie & it tasted like flavored breast milk. I still soldiered on and drank it all, because I was a little high at the time. When I went to the counter to order the lovely manager was working the cashier & mistook me for a 'sir' & with a quick second look he chuckled for a while then apologized and stated it was cause of my hair..nevermind my size 20 double D boobs their totally invisible. Hahaha. Nice place to wind down with the family after a hearty meal somehwere else in southbank. read more

Don't get me wrong. I love chocolate. My god, do I love chocolate. And I see the appeal of a place that serves only chocolate.But Max Brenner is nothing special. They charge extra for a hot chocolate with marshmallows, you know, the marshmallows every other cafe in existence tosses in for free. I am a fan of their choc banana drink, but i'm not entirely sure it's worth the queue. Actually I'd say that about most everything. It's not bad, but not worth the queue, or the price once you finally get there. I'd never choose to go to Max Brenner, but I will tag along with friends. And if you're real lucky, you'll get to walk through the protesters who are periodically outside protesting against the company's links with Israeli genocide of Palestinians. read more

I have been here twice and unless it's quite late on a weekday you will have to wait in line. The line was out the door which was a bit ridiculous but there was a lot of seating, indoors and outdoors. They offer free water and while it was a busy, loud atmosphere, you could have a private conversation. We ordered the crunchy chocolate pizza which was quite large; good for a small group. It was very sweet though! Also tried the white chocolate cheesecake; it came with melted chocolate and strawberries and was very rich and tasty. Some items are overpriced but it does taste like quality chocolate. read more

Not being a sweet toothed person i had not interest in going to Max Brenner because i normally get my chocolate fix from a mars bar. I was however dragged there by my "better half" because it was apparently impossible to dislike. When i got there i saw a line going outside the door and thought this is crazy and im not going to wait 20 minuets for some chocolate. I am now glad that i was made to wait 20 minuets for some chocolate because its some seriously good chocolate and after all my complaining i did indeed like it. The brownies are like none that ive had before and the melted chocolate that they are covered with is just as good. To wash this down i had one of their famous hot chocolates which is now something i must have in winter. I did feel quite sick after all that chocolate in one go but it was worth it. Thumbs up for converting me because its not easy. read more

Acquaint yourself with Max Brenner. Order anything with a lava of chocolate (with this menu, it won't be that hard). Coffees and Hot Chocolates galore. Box of truffles aplenty. Waffles and cookies, chocolate creamery, and anything/everything you can imagine melts with chocolate. Leave with a Brownie Face on, nobody will notice because they'll already Wonka'd themselves to death. For you, read me here, if there's one must-do chocolate shop in the world, it's this one (bald man Max is from Israel, and he's a gluttonous-genius. Rumor has it his nickname was once "Sexy Beast."). Found in sporty plaza section of Brisbane, outdoor seating available. Good times, the whole plaza over. read more

Perhaps they were having a bad night while I was there. I'm willing to say it was a one off, because judging by the monstrous amounts of people lined up there all the time, they must be doing something right. "My chocolate brings the all the boys to the yard..." My friend had told me about the Max Brenner in NYC and beckoned me to come to the Brisbane branch. On the way there, I was given a superlative laden description of what to expect. It's torturous to wait in line for over 30 minutes with that smell of rich chocolate wafting around you, watching the staff dip ladles into vats of melted chocolate and pour it all over plates of strawberries. It happens over and over again until finally it's your turn. By this point, I admit I was excited. We decided to get a chocolate lick, a chocolate pizza and a chocolate crepe to share. After waiting 30 minutes to have our order taken, we had to wait for near another 20 minutes after we were seated. When our meals came out, I was disappointed. The chocolate pizza was a sweet dough base with bits of banana, a few cornflakes, some pink and white marshmellows thrown on top and melted chocolate drizzled over it. My crepe was nothing too exciting either. Both meals were badly presented and tasted bland. There's only so much you can expect chocolate to do. Drizzling it over everything doesn't automatically change bad food into good food. Admittedly, the chocolate lick was delicious. It's a little cup full of melted chocolate that you, yep, you guessed it, lick. Pure, simple, and it was the best thing I had there. As I said, it might be a one off. There are hoardes of people in there all the time seeming to enjoy themselves. I just couldn't help but feel that I'd come across the Sizzler version of the chocolate world. read more

Now, I rarely go to Max Brenner.. No.. Actually, I never go to Max Brenner. Infact, I have not been to a Max Brenner here in Melbourne since I started yelping about six months ago! Anyway, my mate literally begged me to do it and well, being an awesome friend and all, I tagged along. For those of you wondering why he so badly wanted to head there, well.... Brisbane only has 1 Max Brenner which was opened in 2010 and so it is still a big thing over there. Now, this should have been my queue to re-think this through but, unfortunately, I did not.. and that was a very BIG mistake! The store was packed and we ended up waiting for about 25 mins before we could place our order. I am actually very proud of myself for having managed to wait that long! Luckily though, the store has plenty of seating space both inside and outside which helps to accommodate the huge number of customers it receives. We also did not have to wait too long for white mocha to arrive which was good. The thing I like about the shop is that it is in South Bank which means you have to leave the city and cross the bridge to get there and, as such, it is a good opportunity to take a walk around South Bank which is nice especially on a beautiful and warm sunny day. read more

It was a long agonising wait for Max Brenner to open in Brisbane but opening day finally arrived and several hundred Brisbanites probably put on a few pounds in the following months. Everything on Max Brenner's menu is a chocoholic's dream, from the Spectacular Choc-Fudge Brownie Sundae right down to the Chocolate Lick, a perfect sized pot of pure melted chocolate for only $2.50. Their hot chocolates, served in a 'Hug Mug,' will warm the cockles of your heart on a cold winters night as you wrap your hands around the specially designed mugs. I can't bring myself to try their pizzas; there is just something fundamentally wrong with pizza topped with banana and marshmallows in my book but I heartily recommend everything else. Do prepare yourself for a long wait though as the queue usually stretches out the door and around the corner. read more

I have a love-hate relationship with the Bald, Chocolate Man, Max Brenner. On the one hand, why is his tutti-frutti waffle irresistible? On the other, why must the Southbank store be so ridiculously understaffed? It's not unusual to queue for thirty minutes for the privilege of the Bald Man's chocolate. I've done it myself several times. I've watched other people do it. Not just on a Saturday night either but any night of the week. It's not that they need to expand the premises. There are plenty of tables available. The problem is that there isn't enough staff turning the orders around. This problem only seems to be at the Southbank store. I've been to Max Brenner at Broadbeach and Robina without encountering this issue. I've tried boycotting the Bald Chocolate Man but like all things bad for you, I eventually crave it, my mind weakens, I start making irrational statements, I cry until my husband can stand it no longer and inevitably join the queue of chocolate addicts. After I've licked all traces of chocolate from my plate, the world is better again. What can I say - Max Brenner is the best chocolate dessert place in Brisbane. Perhaps the long queue is a blessing in disguise, otherwise I would be there every night. read more

Chocolate is a weakness of mine and it rarely comes as good as Max Brenner's. I'm not just talking about chocolates but everything chocolate related on their menu is worth the often long wait in line. I have spent about 20 mins in line before and it just helped my mouth water at everything on the menu and slowly make up my mind about what I will indulge in. The Southbank location is nice, with lots of tables both inside and outside to dine at. I can't go past their Peanut Butter Iced Chockie. At $7.60 it is quite expensive for a drink but it is literally like drinking a Reese's Buttercup!!!! Their chocolate fondue for two is the perfect date indulgence. You recieve two mini fondu towers (one filled with plain milk, the other with dark chocolate) for which you dip you strawberries, bananas, marshmellows and banana bread pieces into. I literally can't help but make moans of pleasure when I put it in my mouth. You need to experience Max Brenner at least once in your life. read more

My first time here and OMG it was chocolate heaven! My friend and I shared the baked hot chocolate from their winter specials menu. If you have not tried it already drop what you are doing and head there right this second! The que to order seemed to be perpetually long and quite frustrating, perhaps a second till at this location would be a good idea to speed the process up. Also some of the staff working on the desserts behind the till looked quite displeased at being at work which was a bit of a shame. Overall the flavour in their food was delicious and it lived up to the positive things I'd heard about their food. The service however was average at best. read more

All I can say about Max Brenner is....I don't get the hype. I had the pizza there once and it was pretty crappy - a savoury pizza base from woolies with some chocolate sloshed over it, sprinked with a few crispy bits and marshmallows. I could do it at home better. I can get some chocolate, melt it up and slosh it over anything I like, then top with little marshmallows and voila! Max Brenner without the long line. read more

Desperately love my chocolate hit and I can't stay away from Max Brenner! Do yourself a favour and go tonight!

Max Brenner, everyone loves it. It's hard not to love a restaurant that is fully focused on chocolate. Fondues, waffles, mini chocolates, anything that can be made with chocolate will. The only bummer is that it is a chain, therefore each store is different than the last. Max Brenner has competition with San Churro, which also is a great restaurant focused on fine chocolate desserts. Pricing for both is about the same and menu items overlap. Max Brenner always seems to have a line no matter what time of day. This particular shops location is perfect for enjoying a lovely day or evening in southbank. The outdoor seating as well as indoor is great for people watching. The food is great, the hardest part is choosing what to get. Portions are large for Australians because I always see plates left half full, although we Americans can clean them off. It's a great place to bring the kids or meet up with the girls or even come solo just to enjoy dessert or coffee any time of the day. I was recommended to check out Max Brenner when I was in Sydney and definitely still come to it in Brisbane. It's something I have enjoyed from day one. read more

So it seems everyone loves Max Brenner. Yes, I can see why. Chocolate is pretty awesome and Brenner has really done a lot of delicious things with it. And though when it gets really busy (which is most time I've been there) you have to wait 20+ minutes just to order, it can be worth the wait. My problem, however, is that there's a point when chocolate becomes just another flavour and this place is an example of that. I ordered the crepes with bananas and by the end i was glad to be done. It wasn't bad, of course, but the novelty wore off and I realised I had spent around $16 for a couple of crepes with what ended up tasting like nutella by the end. In my opinion, the chocolate licks and toasted banana bread is a combination that's always right; not the flashiest dish there but it works better than others. read more

For every great thing I can say about this place, I can say an equally bad thing about it. If you love chocolate and all things sweet, its a great place to come. If you don't like standing in line for over 40 minutes, don't bother. If you think a good hot chocolate is enough to make your day perfect, this beats no other hot chocolate. If you want service with a smile, find somewhere else! You can't go past their hot chocolates. No matter who you are, they are seriously to die for! I get the ones with malt balls in them - sounds weird I know, but they still have crunch until the last mouthful of drink. The flavour is just like you are drinking melted chocolate ... because you probably are. I have made it my mission to try lots of different things on the menu here - even if it is just sampling off someone else's plate. I don't recommend the pizzas as they are a bit heavy on the base and average on the topping. The fondu is great but a bit exxy and I would prefer it if it was just fresh fruit and none of this banana cake and marshmallow stuff. Waffles are microwaved and taste it. Really, I can only strongly recommend the hot chocolate. But I still come back for more. It is never tidy and you will usually fight with people for a table, but if you can be bothered standing in line for 40+ minutes, then enjoy a hot chocolate. If you find a rare moment when the line up is less than 30 people long, jump on it because it will never happen again! I have been to other Max Brenner's and the staff's attitude seems to be the same everywhere, but the cleanliness is definitely the worst at Southbank! read more

We got take away banana split. Only problem is that there wasn't any banana and only vanilla ice cream

Mmm chocolate. Max Brenner is just the place to get your chocolate fix. That is if you dont mind waiting in line for well over half an hour and if you can get a seat. I really like their waffles with fruit sides. Rarely do the staff here smile which is a little depressing. read more

If you're visiting Brisbane and decide to stop in Southbank, Max Brenner on Stanley Street is definitely the best chocolate/dessert restaurant you will find within Southbank. I visit Max Brenner 2-3 three times a year and I am impressed every time. The staff is very friendly and provides your table with water when seated, unlike San Churro restaurant on the other side of Southbank which does not offer water unless you ask. Max Brenner tutti frutti waffles would be the most popular dish and I highly recommend you try this dish if it is your first time visiting. You won't regret it! Waiting time is usually 5-10 minutes during the day. However, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights you'll find yourself waiting maybe 15-25 minutes. The line is out the door all night long. Reason being is that their dishes are great! Totally worth the wait every single time! Thank you bald man Brenner for bringing your chocolate, for chocolate lovers here in Brisbane. read more

Absolutely love this place! I have been back many times with my friends and even though the queue is always long the wait is worth it. I have tried almost everything on their menu and have loved every last mouthful! The service has always been good for me every time I've been and the quality of the food and the display has been excellent. The downside to this place is that the prices are just that little bit expensive for some of their items on the menu, however it is still worth it. Would highly recommend chocolate lovers to try out Max Brenner! read more

The food is alright, but the service is terrible. They don't seem to have a manager keeping the staff on the ball. I watched the girl on the register repeatedly wander off on the phone while 20 people were lined up and fuming. Then i got a surly response from the wait staff when the order was wrong. Avoid. read more
