Café Pli is not just another charming coffee shop – it’s the first-ever letter café in France. It is a place where you can sit down with a warm drink, a freshly baked pastry, and a stack of stationery to write a letter to your future self. Whether you want to inspire yourself or wish for a future filled with success, Café Pli turns these thoughts into treasures that will reach you in one, five, or even twenty years.

This intimate café, inspired by a similar concept in Korea, offers you the chance to disconnect from the rush of life and take a moment for yourself. The café’s design itself is warm and inviting. Here, you’ll find a wide selection of postcards, colourful pens, wax seals, and stickers—all the tools you need to write the perfect letter. A beautiful cart filled with stationery options and pens lets you personalise your letter down to the tiniest detail.

Wax Seals, Postcards, And Timeless Memories

Here’s how it works:

1. Start by selecting a drink or pastry from the café’s menu.
2. Next, pick out a postcard and start writing your heart out. The café offers a wide range of postcards and stationery, so you can truly make it your own.
3. Now for the exciting part: personalising the envelope, adding stickers, and sealing it with a wax stamp (a small candle and wax supplied by the café). Make your own seal by selecting from a gorgeous variety of wax colours.
4. After sealing your envelope, head over to the café’s “post wall,” where you’ll find mailboxes categorised by delivery dates: one year, five years, and twenty years. 
5. Once your letter is placed in the appropriate box, the café will take care of the rest.

For just €15, you can write a letter to your future self that will be delivered in one year, complete with a drink and your choice of postcard, envelope, stickers, and wax seal. If you choose to send it in five years, the price goes up to €25, and for a letter that will arrive in twenty years, it’s €45. If your address changes, do not worry! You can always update it online so that your letter reaches you wherever you are.

So, next time you find yourself wandering in Paris, step into Café Pli. A sweet treat, a drink, and a letter sealed with wax—what could be more special?
