Product Review of McDonald’s Maple Caramel Latte

And A Word About Their Maple Pastries

Product Review of McDonald's Maple Caramel Latte

It is apparently maple season at McDonald’s so I trekked over to my local McD’s to try their new products.

The Products

Update: FINALLY found the maple apple Danish!

I LOVE maple so I was excited to find out about their maple caramel latte, maple mini pastry and maple apple Danish which are only available for a limited time in Canada. 

Product Review of McDonald's Maple Caramel Latte

It was my monthly pick-up-coffee-for-Reg outing after drawing class so I thought, what the heck? I will get myself a treat. 

I started with the latte which I found out is only available with caffeine (ugh) and there is not a cold version available. Hot and caffeinated it is!

I began to order their Danish and was told that the maple baked goods were only located at full-size McDonald’s. Mine is very small. Sigh… So I got a hamburger. I had to eat!

The Taste Test

I carried it all home and sipped some of the maple caramel latte on the way.

Yes, wow, maple-y and caramel-y but tasted a tad artificial and OMG… SWEET!

Product Review of McDonald's Maple Caramel Latte

I am a decaf double double kind of gal. The one time I like things to be sweet are with my coffee but this was insanely sweet! I know it is supposed to be sugary with the whole maple and caramel thing going on but damn… I drank less than half the small coffee. It is also incredibly creamy—the coffee was almost secondary.. This was beyond a dessert in a paper cup!

The Price

Product Review of McDonald's Maple Caramel Latte

The McDonald’s Maple Caramel Latte was more expensive than my hamburger. It rang in at $2.39 before taxes and yikes, I will not be getting it again. If it came frozen or over ice, it would be much better. Iced beverages need that additional sugar but as a hot latte? I really did not like it. I wanted to but just couldn’t. 

I give this product two out of five wooden spoons. I swear, only children would like it, it is so sweet. What a bummer!

The Foodie Conclusion

Drawing by Suzie Ridler

Yeah, that is how happy I was having that “treat” after drawing class too.

I am so mad the maple pastries were not available to me! Despite not liking the latte, I will try and venture out to another location so I can product test those too. Hopefully I will have happier results and foodie news.

And yes, there was enough caffeine in that super sweet cream-drenched drink to keep me up all night. Ugh! So not worth it.

    I know this is un-Canadian of me, but maple is not a favourite flavour of mine.

    P.S. I like your drawing, although it’s a bit too uncomfortably close to what I look like in the mornings sometimes.
