From Big Macs to nuggets, McDonald’s has already given us so much – but now, they’re on the verge of opening a new spin-off restaurant.
Earlier this year, Maccies bosses announced CosMc’s, described as a ‘small-format concept with all the DNA of McDonald’s, but its own unique personality.’
The first location is well on the way to opening in Bolingbrook, Illinois and after a passer-by managed to take pictures of their menu screens being tested, we finally have some insight into what CosMc’s might serve.
While it’s unclear if the menus were simply dummy place holders, or the real deal, glimpses from the screens reveal an array of items, including iced teas, lemonades, slushies, sandwiches, and smaller bites.
We’re particularly excited by the sound of a Churro Frappe and Tumeric Spiced Latte, or perhaps the Blueberry Ginger Boost will be more to your liking.
Sandwiches include the Spicy Queso or a more traditional Sausage McMuffin.

As well as posting the menu pictures to X, formerly Twitter, user Iman Jalali also added: ‘It’s not open yet and there was a full team of actors in the drive thru filming a commercial so the menu was up and I was able to snap a few pics from afar.
‘Four drive thru lanes to boot.’
It’s been speculated that the new CosMc’s will be extension of the already existing McCafe menu, and a rival to popular chains like Starbucks.

McDonald’s revealed they’d be launching the new chain back in the summer, named after a mascot from the 80s and 90s.
CosMc was an alien from outerspace with a passion for McDonald’s French fries (we can relate), who featured in adverts for the chain from 1986 to 1992.
While McDonald’s is being fairly tight-lipped about what CosMc’s has in store for us, it’s fair to say that fans of the Golden Arches are excited.
‘Suspense is killing me,’ wrote one user on X.

‘Lookout Starbucks, here comes CosMc’s,’ added another on TikTok.
Although some aren’t impressed by the potential menu: ‘I feel like I need to brush my teeth just looking at that sugary drinks menu,’ wrote an unimpressed user.
There is still no set date for the big opening of CosMc’s – and no info as to whether it will land on UK shores – so for now, we wait…
