Max Brenner Westfield Sydney

Six stories up, in a room with nutty brown décor and funky orange accents, a quirky bald man offers some delightfully unique desserts.


Max Brenner is located inside Sydney’s expansive Westfield shopping centre and takes a bit of an escalator journey to reach. It’s a weekday at 10:30am and it’s quiet with a chilled and relaxing atmosphere.


Max Brenner does a delicious cappuccino, made sweeter with the generous drizzle of chocolate covering the creamy foam ($3.90), and this is usually my go-to when visiting. However, having just consumed a latte from another shop, an Earl Grey tea ($4.20) and the banana cream crêpe ($17.00) are the pick of the day.


The order arrives, the teapot is well worn but the tea is piping hot and the steam fragrant. The first few mouthfuls of the crêpe are luscious; it is a heavenly layering of tender crêpe, sliced banana, chilled whipped cream and warm chocolate sauce, followed by a generous spoonful of vanilla ice cream.


There is no lady-like way to eat this and before long, the crêpe is a soggy mess. With no textural or flavour reprieve from all the sweetness I have well and truly hit my sugar limit. There is definitely a feeling of guilt for having demolished so much sugar in one sitting - this crêpe might be a good one to share.


Max Brenner would be a perfect place for a whimsical date, a catch up coffee with friends or a special treat while out in the city.
