McDonald’s is set to axe a popular menu item in the coming days.
The fast-food chain launched Vanilla Matcha Frappés in the UK last month.
The drink, which combines matcha green tea flavouring with sweet vanilla and is topped with cream, was described by McDonald’s as “the ultimate summer sip.”
But the Vanilla Matcha Frappé has received mixed reactions from customers since its release.
One person, commenting on TikTok, said: “Itâs so good.”
Another added: “I tried it today, it’s okay, not amazing, Greggs matcha is better.”
A third customer wrote: “Tastes like grass with vanilla.”

The Frappé will be replaced by two new drinks, one of which is a returning favourite.
The Strawberry Candyfloss Frappé is a new addition, blending strawberry and sweet candyfloss flavours, topped with cream and sprinkles.
The Green Apple x Sprite Zero is “back by popular demand”.
It combines Sprite Zero with sugar-free green apple syrup, served over ice.

A McDonald’s spokesperson said: “McCafé is having its moment this summer and is excited to introduce new flavours into the mix.
“Whether you’re craving something sweet or looking to cool down on a hot summer’s day, McDonald’s has your summer drinks covered.”
While the Vanilla Matcha Frappé is being removed from McDonald’s menus, other summer drinks will remain. These include:
Raspberry x Sprite Zero (£2.29)
Pineapple x Sprite Zero (£2.29)
Frozen Cherry Lemonade (£3.09)
Chocolate Honeycomb Frappé (£3.69)
