McDonald’s is discontinuing its selection of baked goods less than three years after their debut. The chain confirmed that its McCafé bakery lineup, consisting of an apple fritter, blueberry muffin and cinnamon roll, is being phased out beginning this month. A McDonald’s spokesperson said that they have listened to their fans and are adjusting their menu based on what they crave, which is a likely indicator that the bakery items weren’t top sellers. The chain pointed to its other remaining sweet treat options, like chocolate chip cookies and apple pies, as alternatives. The announcement is actually good news for Krispy Kreme, which is looking to expand in the U.S.
