I was surprised that this wasn't in all McDonald's already. There's a McD across from my morning Starbucks that's been pushing lattes for quite a while. And no, they're not self-serve.

Quite a few of ours here have "McCafe's" and have for many years, but I've never had coffee there, I prefer a cafe that was opened as a cafe, not as an adjunct to a burger store.

Very true. I much prefer Robert Harris, but it's a nice alternative if you have a family group or a toddler who has cabin fever and needs to burn off some energy at the McD Playland.

You make a good point, Alex. I could see the appeal of enjoying a latte while letting my kid (if I had one) run around the playplace. After all, noisy kids don't exactly fit the "sophisticated" profile of a Starbucks or Peets.

Yes, and?

I'm not saying Starbucks doesn't offer a different experience. Just that because Starbucks charges $4 for a cup of coffee doesn't mean that McDonald's needs to, to get the same profit.

Of course, I think they should just merge so the stores are always next to each other. The breakfast food Starbucks sells is pretty horrible (except the granola cups) so even an egg mcmuffin is preferable. Of course, then the McDonald's would definitely smell like a Starbucks. I just can't win unless everybody stops drinking coffee.

I assumed they'd use the same gleaming push button machine found at the finest gas stations.

I'm against it!

I am a tea man myself, though if they do a soy latte, I will have to check it out.

Any toddler near me at Starbucks is having whiskey added to their coffee.
