Linda VanGosen, McDonald's USA vice president of Brand and Menu Strategy, spoke to the update, stating "We're continuing our breakfast innovation by adding tasty new sweet options with our new McCafé Bakery lineup. We know our customers deserve a break now more than ever, and are excited to give them another reason to visit their favorite breakfast destination by offering delicious flavors they crave, any time of the day."
