McDonald's is back with splashy colorful drinks: The chain has just opened a new location of CosMc's, their beverage-centric concept at 861 W. Stacy Rd. in Allen.

A release describes it as a small-format spot serving bold, refreshing beverages and tasty treats that is bound to be Allen’s new destination for an uplifting beverage experience.

This marks the fifth location for the chain which debuted in Dallas just about one year ago, in March 2024, with a massive menu of hot and icy drinks such as Popping Pear Slush, Iced Latte, and Chai Frappe Burst.

Some of the drinks are pretty innovative including a Turmeric Spiced Latte, with espresso, milk, turmeric syrup, and black pepper.

Beyond beverages, there are a few sandwiches: Spicy Queso with sausage, and Creamy Avocado Tomatillo with bacon, and Egg McMuffins. Other menu items include McPops, a filled fried dough already served at McDonald's, plus soft pretzel bites, hash browns, and desserts. They also have soft-serve, available in cones, sundaes, and a selection of Blizzard-like McFlurry shakes in flavors such as Oreo and M&M's.

In celebration of the new location, CosMc’s is also expanding their menu to mark the launch with new beverages including:

• Churro Cold Brew
• Churro Latte
• Churro Shaken Espresso

A grand opening celebration will take place on Saturday, February 15 at 6 am, and will include limited-edition CosMc’s water bottles, free samples of select CosMc’s products, and other giveaways throughout the day.

CosMc's has experienced some "corrections" that included shuttering three of the original four locations they opened in DFW, in Watauga and Arlington, and more recently (and quietly) the only Dallas location at 6033 Campbell Rd. One location in Fort Worth remains at 5341 McPherson Blvd.

But a spokesperson says that McDonald's has not given up on the concept and is still planning to continue a test in the U.S., opening two new smaller format stores in Texas in 2025 — this store in Allen being one. Where is the other?
