Yes, in select locations you can customize your cappuccino with flavors like caramel or vanilla.
What’s the difference between a Latte and a Cappuccino at McDonald’s?
Both use the same ingredients, but a cappuccino has a stronger coffee flavor and more milk foam, giving it a lighter texture.
Is the McCafé Cappuccino sweetened?
No, it’s served unsweetened by default. You can add sugar or syrups if available at your location.
