McDonald’s unveils CosMc’s, its answer to Starbucks

Shedding light on its long-awaited and oddly secretive CosMc’s concept, McDonald’s on Wednesday finally shared more about the café pilot, which seems to be its answer to Starbucks.

It was weirder than expected.

Over the summer, McDonald’s teased the test of a new restaurant concept.

We knew then that CosMc’s is named for a little-known McDonald’s character, an alien. We also learned that CosMc’s “is a small format concept with all the DNA of McDonald’s but its own unique personality,” in the words of CEO Chris Kempczinski, who discussed the concept during an analyst call in July.

It's going to be interesting to see how this will play out.

We don't need anymore coffee in the US too. They are everywhere.

If one of these McDonald's coffee opens near me I will check it out.

Coffee at McDonalds is actually pretty good. If their plan is to undercut Starbucks with a similar product, I think they'll do quite well.

I think it's an interesting idea...if only for the name and theme....

If one of these coffee shops open near me I will definitely check it out. I like McDonald's coffee.

My mom likes the coffee for some reason as well.

Looks like a ripoff of that one restaurant with the Golden Arcs.

Looks like a 50's style coffee shop. Could be interesting.

[–] mikethemartian (7000) a year ago

It looks 50s but also like The Jetsons.

I'd like them to bring McCafe to the UK they have them in continental Europe serving better coffee and pastries than a standard McDonald's. CosMc? Nah the US can keep them.

Starbucks UK gave every National Health Service worker in the country a free coffee on wednesday , which was nice of them.
