An update;
We’re delighted Pope Joan will open this weekend at T1 Terminal in partnership with a highly experienced airport operator.
Our first coffee and conversation about this opportunity was November 2019. We’ll open in November 2023. It’s been a long journey but we’re delighted to get to this point.
See you soon at the airport for a Reuben, a Cornish, a great coffee, a negroni or a perfect glass of wine before your next flight out of Melbourne.

Leadership is crucial in so many walks of life; not just in business but in family, leisure, political and community life too.
Pope Joan is a business and a family, and Leah & Bente are the leaders who inspire their teams out front and in the kitchen.
It’s what leadership looks like everyday.

Same here.
