The Chick-fil-A Icedream menu is being expanded by the QSR brand as part of a limited time test that will offer customers a delicious and decidedly creamy option to try out this spring. The drinks are being offered at select locations in Chicago, Salt Lake City, San Diego and Tampa, and come in the Icedream Spin and Icedream Float varieties. The Icedream Spin starts off with soft serve ice cream spun by hand with your choice of fountain drink, while the Icedream Float comes with any fountain beverage paired with a swirl of soft serve in the mix.
The new additions to the Chick-fil-A Icedream menu could be easily expanded to additional locations in the event of a successful test run thanks to their simple ingredients.
