Max Brenner

Max Brenner is a great place for brunch on the Vegas strip. Situated conveniently in the Caesars Forum Shops, the cute and dark little shop is home to delicious chocolates and chocolatey drink concoctions.

The banana split latte, priced at a whopping $7.50, was a thick, creamy chocolate milkshake with bananas. It was frothy and came in the most interesting yet practical cup, equipped with metal straw to keep the beverage cold until the moment it hits your lips.

The illegal chocolate chocolate chocolate pancakes were amazing. Soft, pillowy, fluffy disks of dough, topped with toffee'd bananas and toasted pecans. As if that wasn't decadent enough, a generous drizzle of chocolate syrup and honey. For those chocoholics, an extra beaker of chocolate sauce sits on the side for additional dousing to your heart's content.

The skillet scramble was surprisingly delicious, coming from a chocolate shop. Eggs were velvety, the sausage  was savory, the peppers and onions nicely grilled, and the spinach and mushrooms nicely seasoned. Served with a crunchy and crusty roll and a side of chocolate sauce and butter. Chocolate and eggs? Yes, questionable. Weird at first but due to the quality of the chocolate, it sort of works.

Chocoholics rejoice!
