Cafe-Inspired QSR Coffee Menus

The Chick-fil-A Iced Coffee Menu is Being Tested in Select Cities

The Chick-fil-A iced coffee menu is being test marketed by the brand in select cities in the US as part of its expansion beyond its classic offerings to keep existing fans intrigued and catch the attention of new ones alike.

The menu starts off with the Iced Coffee, which is being tested in Caramel and Mocha flavors alongside the existing versions in Plain and Vanilla. The brand is also introducing the Cream Cold Brew to offer a richer, more indulgent take on the classic coffee drink to broaden appeal amongst consumers. The drinks are made with cold-brewed coffee and a sweet cream blend that's inspired by the brand's milkshake recipe and served over ice.

The Chick-fil-A iced coffee menu is being tested through the end of January or while supplies last.
