Ooh la la. For a city that prides itself on coffee and cafes, Mork is a gem in North Melbourne for all of the non-coffee drinkers out there. This is a chocolate brew house and a great one at that. Don't come in here expecting anything but chocolatey goodness. There's traditional ones, signatures, and then more experimental ones. This cafe takes drinking hot chocolate to a whole new level of fun and exciting. They house make their oat milk, and almond milk, have varieties of dark chocolate, and even water based ones, and have a in-house smoke machine. At Mork, they are experimental with the sensations, making any visit here an adventurous one. The cafe is a lot smaller than expected, making it nice and cosy. The seating is also situated perfectly close enough to eye other tables hot chocolate orders in a non-creepy I-want-to-try-what-they-ordered way. The Malted hot chocolate is the Campfire chocolate's beverage brother. It's paired over meringues and caramel sauce among other goodies; served in a bowl to scoop up in your hands and enjoy. It was hard to hold back the temptation to just splurge and try every single one of their drinks. Mork is the perfect place to cosy up with a fancy hot chocolate. read more

Sunday, 12 Aug: PM Service 3 / Quality 5 / Price 5 There three levels of skills mastery in culinary service: Trade- consistent, standard production. Craft- perfecting the traditional. Art- innovative, original and new. -- Culinary Art its the level on which the staff@ Mork operates. SERVICE: We don't mind waiting in the rain for the best chocolate in Melbourne We were told by cashier that seating would not be possible as they closed in 45 minutes. We explained that we fly home the next morning and wanted the campfire chocolate. Take away was the only option. When 3 other parties on the list before us left and our 'take away' order was still not ready, I implored the lady at register to seat us. It was a struggle. (Retrain her with focus on guest experience over order processing) The seats were available and others arriving after were being seated in the mean time... I promised to order additional items additional to the original order. The table servers saved the experience. They were attentive, gracious and friendly, very accommodating and informative. QUALITY: Meanwhile the beverage maker(s) were busy yet sociable. They made time to explain the in house made soy and oat milks, focus on incorporating Aussie native ingredients, future plants, milk temperatures &etc. Even waited to make our take away until we left so ours was top quality. Each menu and merchandise item in this immaculate open space was top quality, be it a custom made mug, cocoa nibs or salt! The beverages were a sensory experience, with infusions, aromas and interactive elements. PRICE: For the level of quality, Mork's prices seemed comparable value compared to most high end chocolatiers. read more

Quaint tiny store, immaculately decorated in minimal styling ! Service was a little slow as we were behind a group of 6 so waited a good 10 minutes for our drinks. Girls were fab, describing the menu beautifully. Carbonated vanilla water on being seated and the Campfire hot chocolate didn't disappoint! Nut seed blend was also delish ! read more

Mörk Chocolate Brew House - Campfire heaven - Coffee & Tea Near Me - North Melbourne, VIC

After long satisfying the chocolate cravings of Melbournians inside other cafes with their take-home products, Mork has gone out on their own with their first cafe and kitchen. It's been worth the wait, this is a chocolate lovers dream. No coffee in sight, this cafe is dedicated to all things cacao and has a lot of fun doing it. There is a standard hot chocolate offering (well, by standard I mean for Mork which is still pretty special!) with a choice of how dark you want your brew - from 50% - 100% cacao. The real magic is in their speciality drinks though, adding a bit of theatre to the experience. Items like the deconstructed chocolate bar, a refreshing chocolate soda and my order, the Campfire Chocolate. A small wooden tray appears with four items - a pot of hot chocolate, sprinkles of smoked salt, a toasted marshmallow and a glass filled with smoke. You overturn the glass of smoke and pour in the hot chocolate, mixing it all through with the marshmallow and topping it off with the salt. So delicious and a perfect combination of flavours, textures and smells. Just as fun as it is tasty. They really consider everything here from the taste to experience - even offering a vanilla bean soda palette cleanser to start. You're just not going to get this with your morning latte and the prices are not unreasonable for the quality of the product. We also tried a couple of their pralines - bite sized awesome. My favourite was the hazelnut popping praline with hints of popping candy at the finish. The Yuzu praline was a really unique flavour. I highly recommend sampling one or two while you're here. Planning a coffee date and find out that your +1 doesn't do coffee? Take them here. Mork is sure to impress the pants off any chocolate lover. Figuratively of course...but you never know, could push the odds in your favour... read more

When I heard "campfire hot chocolate," the s'more loving American in me was ready for a trip to Mork. The chocolate cafe features gourmet chocolate beverages and little chocolate treats. (Take note caffeine lovers - this might be Melbourne, but you won't find a single coffee bean in this establishment.) The signature house drinks are made with a 70% cacao chocolate. For those with adventurous palettes, there is also a 100% cacao drink available. The campfire hot chocolate inspired memories of Dominque Ansel's famed s'more creation with the toasted marshmallow and smokey flavour. Mork's version added some delightful DIY drama to my dessert. I was presented with a smoke filled glass, a chocolate beverage, a sprinkling of black salt, and a toasted marshmallow for stirring it all together. The presentation was charming, but that did mean my hot chocolate came out cooler than I would have preferred as it used a glass cup instead of a mug to allow for maximum smoke visibility. My chocolate loving companion tried the chocolate bar with stir-in caramel and was also delighted with the experience. The space is lovely, but seating is quite limited as there is only one large and one small table in the whole cafe. That being said, the staff was able to squeeze us onto the end of the large table almost immediately. The soda machine was broken when we visited, so there were no chocolate sodas or infused palette cleansers that day. I loved that the signature drinks here felt more special than grabbing a standard coffee at a cafe. The price reflects that as well - the house hot chocolates are $5 and our signature drinks were $8 each. While fair, it does make me consider the other decadent dessert options around Melbourne for that price point. This could be a cute spot for a new date because: chocolate and charm. read more

Mörk Chocolate Brew House is so beautiful. The interior is nordic, without being a cookie cutter copy of every other new spot in town. There's clever wooden wall storage, a stunning display/prep bench and a nod to midcentury design with gold trimmings and curved shelving. We waited 10 minutes for a table, and this gave me time to appreciate the interior and watch the team work to create hot and cold chocolate drinks. I loved it even before I got to eat and drink anything! We couldn't decide on what to try so the staff selected three drinks and we made a valiant effort in trying to finish them all. The bonfire hot chocolate is a spectacle but it's not all smoke and mirrors, it truly does enhance the experience as you smell the smoke and sip your hot chocolate! The layered chocolate milk, with an orange infused custard on top, was fun but my favourite drink was the single origin chocolate soda purely for the fact that it was an interesting texture and the "lightest" of all. I could really taste the quality of the chocolate and identify flavours that were unique to that cacao bean (#nerdalert) Mörk do such a great job at presenting chocolate in it's best form, without the need for loads of sugar. It's a small store, so try and come in off-peak times or be prepared to wait a little while for a spot to sit. Don't worry, it will be worth the wait. read more

It was a bold move to open a cafe in coffee obsessed Melbourne and not serve coffee! Mörk serves deliciously fancy hot chocolate. I've been a fan of their home hot chocolate powder for a while so I was interested to see how they would translate it into a cafe experience. The small and cosy cafe looks amazing! Polished wood, brass and lots of natural light flood into the converted garage. There has been a lot of attention to detail in making sure Mörk matches it's premium image. I'll get to the hot chocolate in a moment but first - CROISSANT MUFFINS! Yes they have them and yes they are as delicious as they sound. Get in early in the morning though before they are all snapped up. As a lover of "all the food" I made sure to take some friends with me and then insisted we all order different fancy hot chocolates off the menu to try them all. The "Chocolate bar" was a nice dark mixture with a small slab of chocolate to munch on between sips. The "campfire hot chocolate" is by far our favourite though. When it's carefully delivered to your table, the lovely staff explain the process of eating it - listen up and take note! First you turn over the glass filled with wood smoke and smell it, then pour in the hot chocolate, a pinch of sea salt and mix it slowly together with an artisan marshmallow. Only then is your drink ready to be gulped down. I loved that this wasn't too sweet and you could really imagine having the salt, wood fire smells and toasted marshmallow while camping. Fear not coffee fans - if you need a caffeine fix there are plenty of excellent choices up the road on Errol Street. If the cafe experience was amazing then check out their cute range of merchandise. There are branded cups, bags of artisan marshmallows and of course the chocolate powder to use at home. read more

The latest addition to relaxing but lively North Melbourne neighbourhood comes in the form of what might appear to be a cafe but takes the bold step of not offering coffee. Mörk Chocolate Brew House is exactly as the name describes, a brew house for chocolate. Just chocolate. Found in many cafes around Melbourne and beyond, Mörk has become synonymous with good hot chocolate and it seems only right that they have their own establishment. Hiding behind a historic red brick facade, the interior of the brew house is a complete contrast with a clean and refined space filled with a mix of white walls, light brown timber and gold coloured metal fittings throughout. The front doors open onto the counter and bar area with a communal table and just a handful of small tables to one side. In busy times, a waiting period is almost to be expected. The menu is simple and divided into a few different categories of chocolate beverages. There is the house hot chocolate available in four varying percentages of cacao, water based chocolate which includes the intriguing chocolate soda and signature chocolate drinks which combine chocolate with other ingredients such as custard, caramel and even smoke - found in the popular Campfire Chocolate. A small selection of cakes, slices and chocolate foam drinks for the little ones are also available. On this visit I opted for the original dark hot chocolate which is 70% cacao. The hot chocolates are prepared in milk pitchers and with what appears to be a steam wand, coloured gold of course, coming out of the bar. This somehow results in a magical, evenly foamed drink that has just the right amount of thickness. Like coffee, cacao beans also have their own unique flavours and these are brought out in these quality hot chocolates. Mörk has taken a bold move with the concept of chocolate-only venue, but their established brand and dedication to quality chocolate has resulted in a wonderful new addition to the ever growing North Melbourne area. read more

Stop 2 on my hot chocolate quest! We went to the neighbourhood specifically for Mörk, but it actually made me discover a new area of Melbourne with a lot more to offer, so thanks Mörk! The place itself is really nice: a quite small and cosy cafe, with a super nice staff that takes the time to explain the (numerous) options to you if it's your first time there! Although I like crazy hot chocolates, I'm really after the most flavourful hot chocolate in this quest, rather than the prettiest (maybe as a second project!). So I ordered one of the "classic" house hot chocolate, the original dark with 70% cocoa with almond milk. I was not disappointed! This drink packed in so many flavours, I felt like I was eating a piece of chocolate and not drinking it. On the plus side, it wasn't too rich so I could really enjoy a range of flavours. I'll obviously have to come back as there are about 10 other items I wanted to order from the menu :) read more

After seeing all these awesome Instagram videos of Mork chocolate brew house I am dying to go and try it for myself. I sat down and they immediately gave me a glass of sparkling water with vanilla essence which tasted absolutely amazing. I have been eyeing on the Campfire chocolate but when I got there, I got lures by the chocolate soda with yuzu flavour (limited time only). As a huge yuzu fan how could I not try this? The waiter presented this tall glass of sparkling water and a small bottle which is filled with hot chocolate infused with fresh yuzu essence. He shook it and pour into the sparkling water with a flourish. Recommending that I taste the foam on top first it was a delicious and refreshing citrus flavour. The yuzu was a bit more subtle when you drink the chocolate but it was nonetheless delicious and the flavours were beautifully balanced. My friend had their layered chocolate which was chocolate with a layer of orange custard. The custard was warm and the chocolate was cold which makes an interesting drink. The orange flavour really lifts this drink. I am so impressed by Mörk Chocolate Brewhouse I can't wait to visit again! The only thing is they don't have much in terms of food, but it's nice to find a place which specializes in what they do best and not have other things to distract from their speciality. read more

Only improvement needed ... slightly bigger venue and closer to home. I've tried your products at other Cafes and so glad that we finally stop by for dessert after Yumcha at nearby Gold Leaf, Docklands. Even in the HOT weather, it did not stop us enjoying it. Thank you for bringing another facet into Melbourne's Chocolate scene after the demised of the leading Chocolatier in Australia. Will try to go through the menu at our next visits. Must commend minimalist interior in complement of those rich Chocolates of yous and your knowledgeable staff, she is good! read more

I've been a big supporter of Mork. They are passionate and lovely people that are very deserving. No coffee, no tea, only chocolate. Great looking space with such attention to detail. My first visit was their 2nd day. Started with vanilla bean infused sparkling water as a palate cleanser, such a good choice. I had the campfire hot chocolate. It consisted of smoke, hot chocolate, salt, and a house made marshmallow. Brought back a memory i didnt even know i had, of sitting around campfire in my backyard when i was a kid. I really love the sensory play that adds up to something special. Also had the chocolate soda which was really bizarre texture but still really good. On my second visit i enjoyed the chocolate bar. Its hot chocolate, thick caramel, and a solid piece of chocolate. Also amazing. I just hope they sell jars of the caramel. Im looking forward to exploring their menu and seeing what new treats they develop. read more

Hands down my favorite chocolate place in town! Lives up to their "chocolate brew house" title. 4.5 points for the food and general quality, another 0.5 for the clean design and innovation. Very well-done chocolate desserts, smoothies, milkshakes and drinks. Customizable hot chocolate (choose your cocoa level, eg 50%, 75%), etc. On top of the traditional chocolate drinks and desserts, MORK serves some very creative drinks such as a water based "chocolate soda." Come check this place out. A little out of the city but worth the trek! read more

If there was enough space in this cafe I would move myself and my dogs in here and live happily ever after on the smell of hot chocolate and vanilla pod marshmallows. But local council food safety regulations might have something to say about my plans. Boo to them. This small space screams out Mork, from the simple sophisticated design and use of space to the friendly staff and inviting treats on offer. Having seen their set up at numerous expos, events and happenings I wasn't surprised by how well this cafe looks and is doing. I would like to note that sparkling cafe water is forever ruined for me after the staff delivered a glass of vanilla pod infused sparkling water. Despite it being a busy Sunday afternoon the smiling staff quickly delivered a campfire hot chocolate and took the time to explain how it all works. Smoke-cup-marshmallow-smoked salt. I'm not saying anymore as you really need to go in, sit down and experience this for yourself. The vanilla pod marshmallow was so fluffy and squishy and perfect for dipping into the hot chocolate. read more

Creamy, smooth, high quality hot chocolate and value for money. Unlike most chocolate chains (i.e. max brenner, san churros, oliver brown, koko black) - the hot chocolate here is simple. We do hot chocolate only - and with full cream milk only (ok perhaps soy, but no coconut, no almond, no skim). Hot chocolate comes in various strengths ranging from 65%, 70%, 85% and even 90%. Some of the hot chocolate options can only be had as a dine-in option (i.e. campfire hot chocolate as it requires fire and smoke!) I had the 65% mork hot chocolate which was heaven in my mouth with a slight saltiness. My friend watched as my face went through various expressions of pleasure as I devoured my chocolatey drink. 5 dollars for premium quality hot chocolate! Haven't had it better! Oh and such a beautiful venue too. :) read more

If on a winter's day you find yourself at Mork, life is going quite alright for you. I stopped in for a hot chocolate and a bit of time to sit (needed to get out of the house) and was very happy with my choice. The fitout is airy, clean, appealing with ferns and greenery, a great place to sit. Not only do they have sparkling water (an instant win for me) but it's infused with vanilla bean, which was a unique touch. More importantly, the hot chocolate was great. I expected a regular-ish selection of drinks but they're serious here, and along with the normal hot chocolates there are chocolate sodas (I'm intrigued for next time) and signature drinks, including my choice of the campfire chocolate. I'm sure everyone's mentioned it. It's worth mentioning though! Overall what I'm most impressed about is the finesse - the drink is rich but not sickly, just the right amount of sweetness and somehow still light on the tongue compared to some hot chocolates which end up coating the tongue in too much of a good thing. The pastries and chocolates sound great too, I'll be back for those soon... read more

I don't usually leave review but I showed up here with little knowledge of their menu right on opening time and was greeted by the nicest woman who walked me through the menu and how everything was made. I got recommendations and appreciated the small talk. Not to mention the quality of the chocolate treats I consumed. read more

In an out the way location, this is a good find. I thank yelp for finding unique places like this one. The staff are welcoming and happy to find you a spot even when busy. It's not a big place though, so not really good for groups. I had the 70% dark hot chocolate, which was rich and a little bitter. Not much sugar. It's an aquired taste but I liked it. The smoked hot chocolate looked interesting. They give you a glass filled with smoke that you pour the hot chocolate into. I liked this place but wish there was a little more variety. read more

The experience leading up was frustrating, but it was the disappointing drink and chocolate that killed it. Ordered the Layered- mousse portion on top was nice. The chocolate drink part was watery and not flavorful. The chocolate is not something I would eat again if someone gave it to me for free. Basically the whole chocolate part of my experience was disappointing. Unfortunately it was also the whole point of coming. I should have just tried the classic hot chocolate. Experience itself below: Asked how long the wait would be after seeing times of 30-45 min on the name list. "Oh shouldn't be long, I should be able to squeeze you in somewhere. Shouldn't be long at all." Great. Forty minutes in the windy cold later, even the other couple was staring at me because about 5 groups that came after had already been called in. I went up to see what was happening and the guy says, "Oh I'm so sorry, a girl came up, pointed to your name and said, 'That's me, I don't need a table anymore.' I should be able to seat you very soon." 5 minutes later he comes out again. "Yeah I just looked at the list again. I wouldn't have been able to seat you until now anyways." That doesn't make anything better. Essentially what you're saying is that you couldn't deliver. After deciding what I wanted and waiting 8 min, the guy cleaning the table finally signaled for someone to come take my order. I asked for a Layered, which is orange flavored mousse on top. And watched as the family of 5 seated next to me got their entire order, including one Layered. When the other group to the right got their entire order as well, I decided to ask. It'd been 20 min of waiting and drinking vanilla water. If you see someone there swirling a glass of water for 20 min, seems like a good idea to check on their order. Oh, I'm so sorry, it seems your order got lost. It must have gone to a different table. They're making one for you now. Here's a chocolate to say 'We're so sorry.' Burnt caramel something. I really appreciated some sort of gesture after all that, even if I didn't like the chocolate. The place was really losing points with me left and right. A couple people got the campfire with the dry ice in glass. Looks kind of interesting, but not life changing. read more

Along with some friends I ordered a selection of their chocolate blends online, to be delivered to people in Australia. The service was excellent, and the very lovely Phill even helped us add a personalised message with the delivery (which was a surprise present). The only bad thing I can think of to say about this place is that I didn't actually get to try their chocolate myself - we were told that it was excellent! If I'm ever back in Melbourne I will definitely visit. read more

I really enjoyed this beautiful, minimalist chocolate cafe in a historic brick building in North Melbs. Service was very friendly: I was offered a sparkling water with infused cinammon as I sat down. Hot chocolate was thick and not overly sweet and was served (for a bit extra) with an amazing house made marshmallow. The perfect for an afternoon treat this winter. read more

Anyone that knows me will know that I love chocolate, every kind, in all forms, chocolate is an essential part of my life. So boy am I glad I was introduced to Mork! I'm not a coffee drinker so every time I hit up a cafe I sample their hot chocolate and this place has without a doubt stolen the top spot on my list of places to go. I have never known a place to take such care and put so much effort into producing quality hot chocolates. You're given your hot chocolate on a plate with all your little additional ingredients. I had the Chocolate Bar which comes with a pot of caramel to stir in and a little piece of hazelnut chocolate (which represented the shell), it was heavenly. The entire time I was drinking, I was dreading the moment my cup would be empty! The actual space is beautiful too, light and welcoming with a nice cozy feel. The staff knew what they were talking about, if you're a first timer like me then they'll be giving you instructions on how to add your ingredients to the drink, a nice little touch that makes it all the more exciting. Even seeing them prepare the drinks was wonderful, my mouth was watering as I watched them toast marshmallows to perfection. They have set a new standard for hot chocolates and I will forever compare all those I drink in the future to that wonderful creation from Mork. I'm looking forward to heading back and trying out the rest of their menu! read more

I thought the campfire was a little weird, but the chocolates and everything else we've ever gotten there was sooo delicious.

Just bought a hot chocolate that is extremely delicious especially on cold winter morning. Best hot chocolate by far!!! Mork is definitely the place to be!! Don't take my word for it, try it and see. You will never stop going back for more yummy chocolatey goodness once you start. read more

I came with 2 friends looking to have some food and drink and sit down. We were told to wait for 15 mins as they needed to find us seats. 2 groups of 2 came after us and were easily seated. After 15mins we were told to wait outside. Whilst waiting outside in the cold 5 people left. When the waitstaff came outside after 10mins of waiting they asked if we were happy to wait another 5-10mins I replied no and then proceeded to outline why. I was told that the table of three that left could not be given to us because it was too crowded in that area. And that the other seats that were given away had to be given away because they are not allowed to hold seats for people. On top of all of this for a staff member who "didn't want to argue" was very rude and argumentative and did not once apologise for their service or the wait time. All in all a terrible experience and would never recommend. read more

In a word, brilliant. There's just so much going right here - presentation, the staff, the quality of what you get served, the rotating patisserie, the quality and care taken in the actual production of what you're being served. The only thing I can see being a stumbling block is that Mork is slightly misleadingly labelled as a cafe here - there's no coffee on offer, and it's not a place you'd come for lunch (unless your lunch plans involved chocolate drinks - there's no 'meal' type items). They're now open late on Thursday nights, too, so if you're short when it comes to dessert, you've really got no excuses... read more

Found this gem through a video online and absolutely loved it. Not only was the smoke an amazing trick, it had a taste unknown to me which perfectly complimented the hot and pure chocolate. Australia knows how to do chocolate and I wish we had more pure chocolate places in NYC. The shop was small, clean, and simple. There's a little shop to the side where you can purchase different items like volcanic rock salt or the glass cups used. Definitely out of the way if you're visiting Central Business District (CBD) but worth the adventure as you view the new and old architecture. read more
