Max Brenner Chocolate Bar

I stood gazing at the well-known banner on the upper part of the shop,  featuring the word “Max Brenner”. I opened the door and entered the bar, warm air welcomed me with the smell of coffee, mixing the smell of chocolates and cakes. The baristas stood in front of me, smiling an amicable smile and welcoming me to the shop. The first attraction for me was the baked foods, they were tidily placed on the transparent glass cabinets, lined up and waiting for me to eat them. We flipped open the menu and I started salivating immediately. The staff took our orders; we got the receipt and head of to pick a table.

The menu was pricey, but if you have a sweet tooth, you definitely won't be disappointed. So be  prepared to run up a good bill because you'll want to try everything on the menu! You'll leave with a wallet that’s lighter, and you'll be a bit heavier but it’s so worth it however! Mb has a large selection of hot chocolates and creative specialty cocktails.

My Cappuccino arrived within minutes in an adorable "hug mug", which made it easier to drink from.  The shape and size of the mug is designed perfectly for a nice warm hot chocolate or cappuccino.

 

 

The menu is very different and unique, but they still have a lot of the standard "go to" items. But, make sure you always save room for dessert, because that is where the best flavors come from. For dessert, the options are endless and it was very difficult to make a decision. Again, it is a big menu with a lot of variety. I am a chocoholic so this place is my sanctuary.

The smooth steamed milk surfed in my mouth and the drink tasted very dense and creamy. The sound of chatters and laughter blended harmoniously with the background music. The taste of the Cappuccino and its bubbles twirled around my tongue, and my cappuccino smile smothered in bliss. Max Brenner is definitely a chocolate lover's dream!

About the girl behind the camera

She's a little shy, she's a little strange, fun loving and extremely adventurous. I consider myself a strong, open minded and direct person. I can seem quiet and shy towards most people, but once I get comfortable I'll never STOP blabbing! I'm extremely bubbly, very sociable AND one very outgoing person. 

Now, enough about me!.... Lets get started with the main reason as to why I'm here. 

So, what good is it to take photos if nobody is ever going to see them?  It is for this reason that I've started a blog. Like artists who paint or poets who write, photography to me, is a way to express myself. 

Photography is such a wonder for me, it allows me to express feelings, exhibit creativity and construct beautiful scenes using the real world.

Before I got into photography, I would  walk past trees full of  colors, beautiful bright flowers, look at snow covered mountains, see someone's face with tons of character, and honestly, I did not pay attention to any of those details. It was not until I started capturing photos and seeing the beauty on my screen, that I began to see details and colors in a completely new way. Once you start noticing the small details, you start realizing how much beauty you’re surrounded by. Every day is filled with it—in the most ordinary/unexpected places.  I feel like I have missed out on so much over the years. 

Photographs are worth a thousand words, and in most cases, even beyond words! 

“The camera has always been a guide, and it’s allowed me to see things and focus on things that maybe an average person wouldn't even notice.” ― Don Chadwick

Through pictures, I capture the beauty that surrounds me and through this blog, I share those wonderful sights to the world.  Photography has changed the way the world sees me and the way I see the world.

I hope you enjoy gazing at my small collection, and do let me know what you all think!
