CosMc’s Breakfast Blows McDonald’s Away
by ELLIE BARBEE
Modern Menu
The McDonald's menu is known for its stability, but the CosMc menu includes new breakfast-themed items that follow more current culinary trends.
For example, the Creamy Avocado Tomatillo Sandwich harnesses the avocado toast phenomenon, while its Spicy Queso Sandwich highlights the jalapeño pepper.
Breakfast
CosMc's original breakfast sandwiches are made with brioche buns, unlike McDonald's, which still uses English muffins, biscuits, or McGriddle pancakes for bread.
A review on The Takeout boldly concluded of the two CosMc sandwiches: "In both cases, the brioche bun was super fresh and superior to McDonald's English muffins."
Classics
On CosMc's official website, a section titled From the McDonald's Universe lists three of the franchise's most recognizable breakfast menu items.
The Egg McMuffin, the Sausage McMuffin with Egg, and the Bacon McMuffin with Egg have all been rolled over from the kitchens of McDonald's to its start-up restaurant.
McPops
While the McPops have been available at some McDonald's international locations for some time, in the United States, they are available almost exclusively at CosMc's.
These bite-sized, filled, and baked goodies come in three delectable flavors — cookie butter, apple cinnamon, and hazelnut — and are comparable to Dunkin's Munchkins by reviewers.
Frappés
An icy caffeinated beverage blended with either caramel or mocha flavoring, whipped topping, and sweet drizzle, the frappés are a staple in the McDonald's breakfast universe.
CosMc's offers a Cold Brew Frappé, a Chai Frappé Burst with cinnamon sugar and boba, and the Churro Cold Brew Frappé.
