Celebrate McCafé’s 30th anniversary in Australia with a special Birthday Cake Latte!
- Replies 3
When we were younger, we used to be quite the party animals, weren’t we? Dancing the night away and celebrating any special occasion that came our way. While we may not be as sprightly as we once were, there's no reason why we can't celebrate significant milestones— like our favourite cafe's anniversary, for example!
As members of the Seniors Discount Club, you surely appreciate a great cuppa–-and where better to sip your brew than right here in Australia? We've been home to McCafé for three whole decades now, so it's high time we blew out some candles and marked this momentous occasion.
Thirty years ago, the very first McCafé opened its doors in Melbourne, and since then, it has become a beloved feature in McDonald's restaurants around the globe. With over 1,000 McCafé locations in Australia alone and more than 4,000 in 60 countries worldwide, it's an Aussie success story we can all be proud of!
To commemorate this impressive achievement, Macca’s Australia decided to give us a little gift: a limited-time Birthday Cake Latte. However, this unique treat seems to have left customers divided.
One sceptical fan said, 'I don't want a birthday cake latte... What I DO want is the McPickle Burger they tantalised us all with a couple of April Fool's Days ago'. While another exclaimed, 'Cake and coffee are my two favourite things! I love this!'
No matter the opinions on this special blend, we can all agree that it's a unique twist. Available in stores across Australia, the Birthday Cake Latte combines McCafé's signature blend with 'cake flavours', undoubtedly evoking memories of past celebrations.
For those of us located along the east coast, the festivities don't stop at the fancy latte. From 24 May to 6 June, the McCafé coffee van will tour Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Townsville, offering free coffee! Mark your calendars—you won't want to miss this coffee extravaganza.
