AT A GLANCE

The property

Max Brenner at Union Square is a chocolate lover’s paradise that somehow manages to be both whimsical and genuinely satisfying. Walking in, you’re immediately enveloped by the rich aroma of cocoa that permeates every corner of this bustling space. What sets this place apart isn’t just that they serve chocolate – it’s that they’ve created an entire experience around it.

The menu brilliantly balances sweet and savory options. Their chocolate pizza with melted chocolate chunks and toasted marshmallows is an Instagram favorite for good reason, but don’t overlook their substantial savory dishes like the really solid mac and cheese or surprisingly tasty waffle sandwiches. This makes it perfect for those mixed groups where some want dessert for dinner while others need “real food” first.

What I find most compelling about Max Brenner is how they’ve maintained their charm despite being in a high-traffic tourist area. The chocolate syringes and unique drinkware aren’t just gimmicks – they genuinely enhance the experience and make dining here feel special. The staff manages to be attentive even when the place is packed, which it often is on weekends.

It’s one of those rare spots that lives up to the hype and delivers a memorable experience that goes beyond just satisfying your sweet tooth. Perfect for date nights, family outings, or treating yourself after a long day of Manhattan exploration.
