![]() I got the Maxican omelet, with black beans, avocado, and cheese. I liked that – a lot of places charge extra, so I thought that was a nice touch. I think we all ordered one of the many omelets, which you can have made with egg whites for no extra charge. I was really tempted by the sweet breakfast items, but we were well into wedding mode by this point and I couldn’t bring myself to eat so many carbs and sugar. Maybe I didn’t want to get my hopes up and then have them dashed after my disappointing latte. I was not expecting great things from the menu, although I’m not sure why. I’m guessing this explains why my latte was lukewarm (not even warm-warm) and why we were the last to get our food, even though we didn’t order last. I blame our server – even though we were sitting right next to my parents and my sister, we had a completely different server who liked to disappear for long periods of time so she could chat with her friends in the back. Unfortunately, my latte didn’t arrive hot enough to actually melt anything, so I just ended up eating the chocolate and drinking the lukewarm latte. Or you can scrape the melted chocolate out with a small spoon and just eat it. The idea behind the kangaroo mug is that the hot liquid inside melts the pieces of chocolate hanging out in the spiral rim and eventually the melted chocolate mixes with your coffee to create a tasty mix. It actually does work well, but it also cools off fairly quickly. Travis got a mocha in the hug mug, which is designed so it keeps you hands warm as you wrap them around the mug. ![]() I actually own both these mugs (the hug mug in back and the kangaroo mug in front) because I used to be a sucker for cute serving ware and ordered them online. One of the things Max Brenner is known for (I guess) are his funky drinking vessels. ![]() We sat next to this machine that said it was mixing chocolate, but I’m skeptical as to whether there was actual chocolate in the mixer or just some thick liquid colored to look like chocolate. At least limit it to 1 coupon per party of 2 or something. The fact that we did sit at 3 separate tables, all next to each other, and used our 3 Groupons tells me this is a dumb rule. The six of us went out for breakfast and completely confused the staff when we requested 3 separate tables, but close to each other, so we could use all the Groupons since you could only use 1 per table. ![]() So, when one opened up in Vegas, I figured it would be easier to get into than the one in NY (for some reason, stores in Vegas are always less crowded than other cities, which I find weird yet convenient). I had just enough patience to wait in line for a hot chocolate to-go, which was a good hot chocolate and especially appreciated in the cold, cold, NY weather, but I was disappointed I didn’t get to eat any fun chocolate things. Travis and I tried to go to Max Brenner when we were in New York (back in 2009, a trip I still haven’t posted about!) but it was ridiculously crowded. My mom has been turned on to the allure of Groupons, so she snagged some for Max Brenner and waited for a time when we could all go use them. Over Thanksgiving (why, yes, Thanksgiving was quite a few months ago!) we were in Las Vegas to spend the holiday with my family, my sister and her boyfriend included.
