Hot Coffee and Espresso Drinks

Iced and Frozen Drinks

Worth knowing: A medium McCafe Premium Roast Coffee is included in the $4 Breakfast Meal Deal. It is also one of the lowest-entry hot drink options on the menu. For full size and flavor combinations, visit the McCafe menu page.

McDonald’s McValue Menu and Current Deals

Value is the biggest story on the McDonald’s menu in 2026. The expanded McValue menu now operates in three distinct tiers, giving customers more flexibility than the old one-size-fits-all value approach. This is also where many of the strongest current deals are concentrated.

Tier 1: Under $3 Menu

Tier 2: Meal Deals

• McChicken Meal Deal – $5
• McDouble Meal Deal – $6
• Daily Double Meal Deal – $6

Tier 3: Buy One, Add One for $1

Buy one qualifying item at full price and add a second for just $1. That offer appears across both breakfast deals and lunch and dinner deals.

The real value calculation: The McDouble Meal Deal at $6 includes a McDouble, 4-Piece McNuggets, small Fries, and a small Soft Drink. Buying those items separately would cost far more, which is why this bundle consistently ranks as one of the best-value national offers.
