The Story
Monk Bar Chocolatiers were established in 1999 by Ray and Liz Cardy, who opened their first shop beside the historic Monk Bar in the walled city of York.
In November 2002, they opened a second shop at No.7 The Shambles, coinciding with their son Alan joining the business. A few years later, Ray and Liz entered semi-retirement, closing the Monk Bar shop and moving all operations to The Shambles location.
All chocolates continue to be made on-site in small batches using luxurious couverture chocolate and only the finest ingredients.
In October 2020, Ray and Liz fully retired, and Alan’s wife Karen joined the business, continuing the family chocolate legacy.
