Their new Fraps are good, comparable with Starbucks.

Ever since I saw Wheregreggeats' post above, I've been curious about the "gourmet cakes & muffins and delicious snacks" McDonalds was touting. I've never seen any in the NYC area. Has anybody ever seen them in a USA McDonald's?

It seems that overseas, a McCafe is more than a spot for a expresso machine. It is a coffee house built adjacent to a regular McDonald's. Here is a picture of one in Hong Kong:

I am not a coffee drinker, but I tried the new hot chocolate. The first few drinks aren't bad, but then it gets sickening. I ordered a small and only drank about 1/3 of it.

Way too sweet.

Nice video Brad.

I've been to many games at the frozen tundra so I'm quite familiar with the diehard cheeseheads. I even own one myself.

I believe they are taking a run at some of the Starbucks business. Only done cheaper.

I haven't tried the coffee (I'm not a beanhead) but I've seen the TV commercials; here in WI the concept is "Q & A With The Packers Guy". People not familiar with NE WI would think it's some sort of parody but I can assure you he's an accurate representation of a lot of people who live up there. Including some that feature an XX chromosome setup.

McDonald's just introduced the McCafe to our local McDonald's. They are offering a free quarter pounder WITH cheese if you buy one of the new gourmet coffees. I ordered a large cappuccino and paid $3.50. It had to be the worst cup of coffee that I have ever tasted. Even the teenagers who thrive on this stuff say these new coffees are horrid.

I noticed that Knoxville's McD's closed for a fe days to convert existing facilities to the McCafe. I have no idea what it is about.
