Chick-fil-A just opened a coffee- and beverage-focused restaurant. This new concept store, Daybright, may give Starbucks and Dunkin' a little competition (and could save you a few bucks too). Located in Hiram, Georgia, (just outside of Atlanta), they're skipping the regular Chick-fil-A deals on chicken sandwiches and waffle fries in favor of specialty coffees, smoothies, and cold-pressed juices.
For those of you making a daily coffee run, Daybright promises a familiar cafe vibe, handcrafted drinks, and drive-thru convenience. Plus, several menu items beat Starbucks prices in a direct comparison, although their prices are mostly comparable. We're all for some friendly coffee competition, especially if it brings us more budget-friendly options.
Here's what we know so far about Chick-fil-A's new Daybright stores, which drinks and foods are cheaper than Starbucks, and why we still think you may want to stick with the coffee deals at Dunkin' for your daily caffeine fix.
