Mörk Chocolate QVM

Overview

Queen Victoria Market's Dairy Produce Hall has welcomed its newest member: Mörk. It's a natural move for the famous hot chocolate shop, since it's already been supplying chocolatey goodness to Queen Vic's Market Lane café for years and has an outpost in the CBD. Mörk founders Kiril and Josefin even live around the corner in North Melbourne. For years, they dreamed of opening a branch inside Queen Victoria Market, but leases here don't come along very often. So when a spot opened up, the couple pounced.

The new site is the heritage-listed corner cake shop inside the Dairy Product Hall. The store hadn't been renovated in decades, so Mörk lovingly restored it. Marble countertops, gingham tiles, even an old-school cash register. Now it looks like your grandma and Willy Wonka opened a chocolate store together.

When it comes to food and drink, you have to start with a classic Mörk hot choc. There's a cinnamon bun bakery on-site, and the team is even doing made-to-order s'mores, freshly scorched with a blowtorch and topped with miso-caramel marshmallows. Sweet Jesus.
