The Quirkiest Restaurant In Philadelphia That’s Impossible Not To Love

Philadelphians love to eat. We take brunch seriously, dinner is an artform, and the best way to get us fired up is to talk about hoagies or cheesesteaks. What you don’t hear a lot about in Philadelphia is dessert. Sure, we all have our favorite ice cream spots and appreciate Insomnia Cookies for catering to our late night cravings, but there’s really only one destination that anyone with a sweet tooth has to know: Max Brenner, the chocolate themed restaurant right in the heart of the city.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/

Max Brenner is located in Center City at 1500 Walnut Street, Philadelphia.

Inside, you'll find Philadelphia's own world of pure imagination. Willy Wonka would be proud.

Max Brenner boasts a full lunch and dinner menu, including delicious burgers and sandwiches.

Their mac and cheese is a popular choice.

But the *real* reason everyone comes to Max Brenner is their dessert menu. From cookies, to cakes, to ice cream... they've got it all.

There are nine different varieties of hot chocolate, all of which are served in their signature "hug mugs," making for a cozy-by-the-fireplace experience.

They are famous for their waffle creations, like this stuffed fruit and ice cream concoction.

In fact, they have at least nine waffle desserts on the menu at all times!

If you want a unique experience, order fondue!

Not everything is super chocolatey. They also have several churro-based desserts, like this hazelnut-drizzled delight served with espresso and strawberries.
