McDonald's to open first CosMc's spinoff restaurant this week

The burger chain is positioning CosMc's as a fast, convenient way to grab a pick-me-up snack or coffee.

Nor sure if it's a faux starbux or a convenience store or what but what could go wrong?

If you're coffee-slumming anyway, their coffee is arguably better than Tim Horton's.
Being able to go in and get a cup without being subject to the miasma of deep-fried burgerstank would be a bonus I guess.

But don't most people just use the drivethu anyway?
 
McDonalds has the biggest hate/love relationship with branding. If I were them, I'd do what everyone else does and have a new kind of name entirely for their spin off business

the profit margin on iced drinks are enough for mcd to pull the trigger. at the end of the day mcd is real estate business. those mcflurry cups remind me of korea's.

This already exists here. It's a separate store that serves coffee. I thought that was standard all over the world..

Brazil. It's called McCafe. They sell coffee and everything that goes along with it. Bread, pies and stuff. Thought it existed all over the world..

It looks like they are just expanding on the mcafe concept beyond brewed coffee and tea into other drinks like smoothies and juice. Just more unhealthy drinks with loads of sugar.
 
So it's a McCafé rebrand. I don't see the point but I like the name, straight out of Back To The Future II... Do they serve Pepsi Perfect at CosMc?

English isn't my first language at first I was pronouncing it Cos-mcs which doesn't make sense but I guess its pronounced cosmics. I used to pronounce Buc-ees as bussys. No homo, well maybe a little.

With self checkouts, it's surprising to me that these restaurants still have so much business. I can walk into a grocery store and checkout with a premade sandwhich, drink and salad faster and cheaper than these places
 
I really can't understand how can people enjoy mcds burguers. They are TERRIBLE.
The smell alone makes want to puke.
But there's always a big line in every restaurant while Burguer King is empty, and it has decent burguers. I'll never get this...

Maybe in the US. Worldwide that's a different story.

But then again we don't use drive through banks or funeral homes either.

I was in Greece last year and went into a McCafe, was nice.

Sounds like this CosMc's is in the same thing.

The way it was worded I thought you didn't have funeral homes. Yeah when my grandmother passed I just drove up passed her thru the window. There's got to be a better way.

The attendants have the deceased. You call up with the time you wish to visit. They prepare everything. You arrive and go into a private room. Respects paid. Leave.

I've been to a McCafe, and the different coffees were fine. A much cheaper option compared to starbucks sugar

Starbucks isn't even really coffee.

Many if their seasonal drinks that people go in for don't even have any coffee in.
 
I understand fast food industry. It's fast and affordable (less now).
I don't understand the concept of overpriced beverage stores.
 
If that means I can get an Egg McMuffin any time of the day, I'm in. All-day breakfast is the thing Covid killed that I miss the most. Gramma was a close second.

And healthier.

Speaking of faster, they seem to prioritize the drive through. It's a pain.
 
Seems like the McCafe shops that we have around here. Although overpriced, the coffee is actually not that bad.

Already said, but McD already had this concept called McCafe. From where i am from it isn't a separate store, but its part of the regular chains, existing from the early morning till 12.00.

It has like McMuffin's and all that, with sausage, egg.

Actually i wish they had the McMuffin all day because its one of the few McD items that are geniunely alright. I personally wouldn't want to eat them in the morning but rather in the evening. Yet they only sell till 12.

So i dunno. Its a mixed bag for me.
