McDonald's has launched a trial of barista coffee across some of its London sites, as it reports the 49th consecutive quarter of growth in Q2, ending 30 June 2018.
UK CEO Paul Pomroy said, 'Coffee drinkers are our most frequent customers and people may be surprised to know that we are second in this market.
'Our barista coffee will remain true to the values of McCafé – great tasting, served quickly, simply and at an affordable price.
'Barista coffee is outperforming projections, so we will soon be expanding our trial to restaurants in the East Midlands.'
During the Q2 period, the new mini McFlurry outperformed expectations thanks to the heatwave.
Globally, McDonald's Q2 results showed comparable sales increased by 4%. However, the group's revenue fell by 12%.
