McDonald’s Reintroducing Fan-Favorite Sweet Treat to Menus for a Limited Time

McDonald’s is bringing back a sweet, fan-favorite treat. It comes on the heels of several menu additions to McD’s locations abroad, which prompted a social media influencer to tell American fans which international menu items we're unlikely to ever see. But now, McDonald’s is giving North American customers a tasty dessert of their own.

Per Parade, participating locations are heralding the return of the beloved McCafé Oreo Frappé. The cookie-and-caffeine concoction first hit menus as a “limited-time offer” in the summer of 2015, and it made quite a splash upon its debut.

McDonald’s McCafé Oreo Frappé is “a sweet treat made with rich chocolate flavor, a hint of coffee, and Oreo cookie pieces. It’s blended with ice, then hand topped with whipped light cream and a few more Oreo Cookie Pieces for good measure.”

This is the second time in as many years that the Golden Arches has returned the McCafé Oreo Frappé to its menus. But before it was offered last spring and summer, the scrumptious treat hadn’t been available since its initial run eight years earlier. The drink is already available at some U.S. Mickey D’s locations, with a full rollout expected in May.

The frappé’s return was celebrated when it was announced on @snackgator’s Instagram page on Tuesday. “Thank goodness because this is delish!!” @the.sweet.foodie enthused, while @marilou.frayre claimed the beverage was “my favorite.”

But some joked about McDonald’s soaring prices, with @cholo_moto cracking, “That’ll be $15, sir.”

The McCafé Oreo Frappé is the latest in a long line of fan-favorite items McDonald’s has brought back to menus so far this year.

They recently reintroduced Spicy Chicken McNuggets for a limited time, in addition to bringing back the breakfast wrap and the Strawberry & Créme Pie. The chain also launched its new Savory Chili WcDonald’s Sauce with an anime-inspired meal back in February.

In the biggest piece of menu news, McDonald’s and Krispy Kreme announced a collaboration that will fully roll out by the end of 2026. It will see fresh Krispy Kreme donuts delivered every day to all of McDonald’s U.S. locations. Krispy Kreme’s Original Glazed flavor, as well as its Chocolate Iced with Sprinkles and Chocolate Iced "Kreme" filled flavors, will be available for purchase in singles or packs of six.
