Specialty Chocolate: The Mörk Experience

If you think hot chocolate is just for kids, Mörk Chocolate is here to change your mind. A highlight on our Foodie Discovery Walk, this homegrown Melbourne brand has elevated drinking chocolate to the same level of craft as specialty coffee. Founded in 2012 by Josefin Zernell and Kiril Shaginov, Mörk (Swedish for "dark") focuses on ethical sourcing, traceability, and high-quality ingredients.

What Makes Mörk Unique?

Mörk isn't your average chocolate shop. They treat cacao with the same respect a sommelier treats wine, offering blends that range from 50% to a deep, intense 85% cacao.

• The Campfire Chocolate: Their most iconic creation is a multi-sensory experience. It involves a beaker of hot chocolate served with a glass of beechwood smoke, a pinch of smoked salt, and a toasted, house-made marshmallow. You inhale the smoke, pour the chocolate, and stir in the salt for a nostalgic trip to the fireside.

• Traceability: They work directly with producers to ensure their cacao is ethically grown and minimally processed.

• Bean-to-Bar Bakery: In addition to their drinks, they produce a range of pastries and cakes—like their famous cinnamon buns—baked fresh daily at their North Melbourne "Foundry".

Tips for Your Visit

• Try the Original: Their 70% dark chocolate was their very first blend and remains a signature for a reason—it’s the perfect balance of richness and sweetness.

• Small Groups: Mörk venues are often tiny and intimate, which is why they fit so perfectly with our small-group tour philosophy.

• Souvenirs: You can purchase pre-made chocolate milk, a variety of cacao powders, and other chocolate-related products to enjoy at home.

• Dietary Needs: The menu includes plant-based options, such as The Whole Nut, which features dark chocolate made with hazelnut milk.
