There are few things better on a brisk Melbourne evening than a cup of hot chocolate. Winning the Lord Mayor’s Small Business of the Year award might be one of them. Now, Mörk Chocolate can tell you about both.
Mörk Chocolate, a purveyor of high-quality hot chocolate, solid chocolate, and other premium cocoa products, last week earned top honours at the City of Melbourne’s small business awards night.
The business, which operates four cafes across the city centre, the Queen Victoria Market, and North Melbourne, was recognised for its contributions to the city’s vibrant laneway culture.
Finalists were also judged on their ability to navigate challenges, their commitments to sustainability, and care for their customers and staff.
