"Tucked in the middle of the old town, Max is a tiny, very neat chocolatier, with everything very clearly labeled. It’s a family affair, founded by Patrik König in honor of his son, the titular Max, and designed by König’s sister. Much of the chocolate selection rotates in and out, although there are some staples always in stock, like the raspberry branchliss, a fruity elongated truffle and a particular favorite of Max. The unbeatable hot chocolate bears a warm reddish tinge and luscious oil droplets floating on the surface, and it’s wonderfully bitter and fatty. Come early in the day because the store tends to run out by the early afternoon." - N.A. Mansour
