Has anyone visited the McCafe on Falls Church Road in Raleigh or any of 
the other McCafe locations? Looking for experiences to tell my class.

The Raleigh McCafé at 6213 Falls of Neuse Rd., will feature a Welcome Day 
Celebration on Nov. 6 with community leaders on hand to offer an official 
"roast toast." From 10-1 p.m., guests will be treated to complimentary 
coffee and pastry sampling, eclectic music and collectible items to 
commemorate this historic java event.  As part of McDonald's ongoing 
commitment to community support, a portion of the day's McCafé sales will 
be donated to the Ronald McDonald Houses of Chapel Hill and Durham. 

"We're looking forward to offering our Triangle customers a friendly and 
affordable coffeehouse experience," said Carol Martin, a McDonald's owner 
and operator where one of the McCafés will go.  "We created a welcoming 
atmosphere so our customers can relax and enjoy specialty coffee 
favorites."  

The Raleigh market is the first location in the U.S. to offer a McDonald's 
McCafé experience following the Australia/New Zealand model that's been 
very successful around the world.  Plans are to open three more McCafés 
in the Triangle area.  Additional Triangle-area McCafés with openings 
slated for fourth quarter of 2003 will be located on Harrison Avenue in 
Cary, in Imperial Corners shopping center in Research Triangle Park and in 
2004, another site to be named in Raleigh. In addition, two McCafés will 
open later this year and early next year in the San Francisco Bay area
