I tried CosMc’s for the first time. I don’t think this new McDonald’s spin-off will last very long.

  • I tried CosMc’s, the McDonald’s spin-off, to see how tasty the food and drinks were.
  • I wasn’t overly impressed by most of the items I tried, and I’m not sure this chain is built to last.
  • The mixed-bag McPops were the only item I’d order again. 

This year, McDonald’s entered the spin-off game with the new chain CosMc’s — and its first stop is, of all places, an Illinois suburb near my house.

The test run began in December when the fast-food giant opened its first CosMc’s location in Bolingbrook, Illinois. The galactic chain sells a variety of “otherworldly” coffees, teas, lemonades, slushes, sandwiches, and snacks.

On its opening day, I saw dozens of Instagram stories from friends and neighbors who waited in massive lines of cars just to order from the new spot.

It’s been months, and social-media buzz about the chain has died down, especially in my local circles. Since CosMc’s grand opening, the chain has opened only three more locations in North Texas.

Still, I was curious whether the chain was any good. Was a better alternative to Starbucks right under my nose? Had I been missing out for months by not taking advantage of its blue and yellow drive-thru lanes?

Finally, I visited CosMc’s and ordered several items to find out.
