MECCA is opening a classic Parisian cafe in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD – for a short time only. Access members get to experience it first – and for free. 

 

To celebrate Diptyque’s global launch, Mecca is transforming a quiet Hardware Lane coffee shop into a luxurious Parisian cafe. 

 

At Cafe Diptyque, expect rich hot chocolate served with a side of whipped cream (yes, just like the ones from classic Parisian spot Carette) alongside warm croissants and petit fours from Andrew McConnell’s neighbourhood grocer Morning Market. You’ll also find Diptyque’s new limited edition candles (in three yet-to-be revealed scents) three yet-to-be revealed scents) and its iconic core range. 

 

With quaint furniture, French-inspired crockery and table settings, you’ll truly feel like you’ve been transported to Paris (even if just for the hour).

 

MECCA is inviting Access members to an exclusive preview session the day before Cafe Diptyque opens to the public, including food and drinks. Best of all, it’s free.

There are very limited spots available and it’s first in, best dressed. Hurry, tickets drop 2pm Monday April 1. 

 

If you are successful, you will be allocated to one of the following sessions: 12pm, 1pm, 3pm or 4pm.
