Welcome to chocolate heaven. A cuppa you won't forget.
I know Mörk Chocolate Brew House is high on my to-recommend list whenever someone mentions Melbourne, especially if you already intend to hit up the famous Auction Rooms or Seven Seeds. Because this place is literally a chocolate haven. If you still can't tell from the name (I don't believe you), the artisans here specialize in chocolate, chocolate drinks in variants. Nothing else. No coffee - look elsewhere. And when they are this serious about something, you know they are good - maybe not yet how good. They even have a chocolate factory at the back of their store.
I wished I could buy everything on the menu. And have one cuppa of this magical hot chocolate every day of the winter. Then I would truly have led a life with no regrets. The most exotic sounding item on the menu was Chocolate Soda Ecuador Esmeralda & Yuzu Citrus at 65% cacao. Too technical. I will order a house hot chocolate...
...which came in a super Muji sort of off-white ceramic cup, much to my delight. Hot chocolates (AUD5) here come in four different forms - told you they are really awesome - Junior Dark, Original Dark, Even Dark and Dark Milk (65% cacao and Murray River salt). I got myself the Original Dark at 70% cacao. To be honest, the moment I had my first sip, I knew it was definitely the best hot chocolate I've ever had. It beat all competition by miles. It's not hard to understand why. Most hot chocolates served in cafes around Melbourne source their chocolate from Mörk Chocolate Brew House, and undoubtedly, nobody else can handle it as beautifully as the in-house chocolate artisans themselves. There are plenty of other items including 'water-based chocolate', 'breakfast chocolate', 'campfire chocolate'... and a lot more that makes my heart melt and my legs go jelly. They are the reason why winter in Melbourne is still beautiful.
Want to feel more jelly or the urge to teleport right to their store?
Consistency and freshness are the hallmarks of their business ethos, and your responsibility is to drink every drop of it. Not like it'll be difficult at all, because you'll want another cup soon enough.
