Which Australian city opened the world's first McCafé in 1993?

Melbourne opened the world’s first McCafé in 1993.

The first McCafé was created in Melbourne, Australia, as a café-style extension of the McDonald’s restaurant experience. It added espresso-based drinks and a more specialized coffee presentation, helping McDonald’s develop a distinct sub-brand inside or alongside its restaurants.

The concept responded to Australia’s strong café culture and later spread internationally. McCafé branding allowed the company to compete more directly in the coffee market while retaining the familiar McDonald’s name and visual identity.

Sydney is a common wrong answer because it is Australia’s largest city and a major business center. The historically significant first McCafé, however, was in Melbourne, where the concept began in 1993.
