"Over the last year, McCafé has broken new ground with a series of exciting changes and it's only just begun," said Elina Veksler, senior director of McCafé Menu Innovation. "Our Turtle coffee beverages are a new take on an indulgent treat. With the first sip, you'll taste a delicious blend of chocolaty, caramel and hazelnut flavors that work together perfectly for a rich and smooth coffee experience. These beverages are skillfully made by restaurant crew for just the right balance of flavors, ensuring our customers receive a café-quality beverage every time."

Last September, McDonald's elevated the McCafé experience and introduced café-quality espresso beverages to its McCafé lineup - Caramel Macchiato, Cappuccino and Americano - all part of the company's journey of building a better McDonald's. The newly designed hot cups are Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified, and McDonald's has committed to source 100 percent of its coffee around the world from sustainable sources and 100 percent of its fiber-based packaging from certified or recycled sources by 2020.

Coffee lovers can also get their favorite McCafé drinks delivered to them with McDelivery* on Uber Eats.
