RIP CosMc’s. The McDonald’s offshoot, which launched in 2023 and touted a café-like concept focusing primarily on signature drinks, is sadly closing its doors after less than two years in business. McDonald’s announced that the chain will be shutting down all locations on a “rolling basis” and that the CosMc’s app will be shut down at the end of June.
While CosMc’s locations will be closing for good, the experiment of the café-style concept was not in vain. “CosMc’s-inspired flavors will be landing at McDonald’s as part of the upcoming U.S. beverage test,” the company announced. So, fans of the CosMc’s vibe can head to McDonald’s locations going forward to get their hands on more innovative beverage offerings, thanks to a new dedicated category team focused exclusively on drinks.
Some of the beverages available at CosMc’s included flavorful tea and coffee drinks like Coconaut Cold Brew, Pistachio Swirl Shaken Espresso, Iced Vanilla Matcha Latte, and a Churro Latte. I wouldn’t be mad if any, or all, of these made their way over to the McDonald’s menu.
Additionally, the chain sold refreshing beverages like Berry Hibiscus Sour-Ade, Sprite Moonsplash, and Popping Pear Slush. Keeping my eyes peeled to see if any of these make an appearance on the McDonald’s menu anytime soon!
