McCafe Frappes are thick and creamy, blended-ice drinks available in either mocha or caramel, with a hint of coffee, and served with whipped cream and either chocolate or caramel drizzle. For a limited time, customers of the Greater Philadelphia [image-nocss] region restaurants can buy the small McCafe Frappe at an introductory price of $1.99.
"Our customers have been incredibly receptive to our McCafe beverage line," said Mike Anton, president of the Phil-Ad-Mac Owner Operator Association. "McCafe Frappes will only continue to satisfy our customers evolving taste by offering a glimpse into that 'affordable luxury' they crave and that only McDonald's can offer."
To celebrate the launch of McDonald's new McCafe Frappe blended-ice beverages, participating McDonald's restaurants of the Greater Philadelphia region will be hosting "Thank Goodness It's Frappe Friday" events in April and May. Customers are invited to sample both the caramel and mocha-flavored McCafe Frappes and take their picture with the McCafe Frappe in the "Frappe Freeze Frame" ice sculpture at select locations.
