Chick-fil-A is brewing something new. The fast-food favorite has officially opened Daybright Coffee and Refreshment, a standalone beverage-forward spinoff designed to spotlight specialty drinks and light bites that go beyond the chain’s classic chicken lineup.
Daybright’s debut location poured its first cups on October 30 at 4326 Jimmy Lee Smith Parkway in Hiram, Georgia, and early buzz suggests the concept is primed to become a daytime destination. With a menu built around signature coffees, house-made teas and lemonades, sparkling fizzes, smoothies, cold-pressed juices, and warm pastries, Daybright points to a fresh lane for the brand.
Where Chick-fil-A’s main restaurants lean savory and drive-thru, Daybright turns the spotlight on craft beverages and grab-and-go comfort — without losing the hospitality that powers the original name. It’s a clear play for morning and midday traffic, fueled by a creative, ingredient-forward menu.
What Is Daybright Coffee?
Daybright Coffee and Refreshment is Chick-fil-A’s new beverage concept, operating separately from traditional Chick-fil-A restaurants. The Hiram outpost serves as the concept’s first location, signaling an expansion into coffeehouse-style offerings while keeping service streamlined for on-the-go guests.
The brand aims to balance familiar comfort with fresh twists. Rather than simply replicating a standard coffee shop, Daybright leans into bright flavors, sparkling refreshers, and approachable snacks — the kind of menu that moves easily from first-cup caffeine to afternoon pick-me-ups.
Located at 4326 Jimmy Lee Smith Parkway, the store brings a curated lineup that emphasizes house-made elements and fruit-forward combinations, with an emphasis on variety for different tastes and dietary preferences.
Daybright’s Menu Highlights
Signature Coffees anchor the menu, spanning cold brews, classic coffee drinks, and creative lattes. The approach pairs recognizable staples with playful specials, giving regulars their go-to orders while inviting experimentation with seasonal or flavor-forward options.
Iced Teas and Lemonades showcase Daybright’s house-made angle. Standout among them: the Yuzu You, a citrus-forward blend that layers yuzu with lemon, lime, and orange for a bright, tart-sweet profile that feels tailor-made for year-round sipping.
Fizzes introduce a sparkling twist to fruit beverages. These carbonated refreshers are built with juices like passion fruit, coconut, and pineapple-mango, delivering a lighter, effervescent alternative to heavier café drinks without skimping on flavor.
Smoothies bring a nutrient-minded option to the lineup. The Jam Sesh blends raspberry, oats, blueberry, banana, and flaxseed with coconut milk and orange juice, finishing with a swirl of coconut cream. It’s a texture-rich, fruit-first smoothie that doubles as a satisfying snack.
Bright Pressed Juices lean into cold-pressed freshness. The Rabbit Trail mixes carrot, mango, lemon, and turmeric, threading a balance of sweet, citrus, and spice for a clean, energizing bottle you can grab on the move.
For those craving something warm, Hot Takes deliver comfort-food bites. The selection includes sandwiches, a pressed chorizo burrito, and the Chocolate Pull Apart — a chocolate brioche baked with vanilla custard and chocolate chips that reads like a shareable, indulgent treat.
Kid-Friendly Options (For Everyone, Really)
Daybright also includes a kid’s menu designed with younger guests in mind but available to all. The headline item is an easy-to-eat PB&J reminiscent of an Uncrustable — a simple, nostalgic option that plays well for quick breakfasts and snack breaks alike.
Why Daybright Stands Out
Chick-fil-A’s strength has long been hospitality and consistency. Daybright extends those traits into a category where variety and freshness drive repeat visits. The concept meets guests where they are — whether that’s an early caffeine run, a late-morning smoothie, or an afternoon fizz.
Crucially, the menu embraces house-made teas and lemonades, fruit-forward refreshers, and cold-pressed juices alongside coffee standards. That breadth lets Daybright appeal to coffee enthusiasts and non-coffee drinkers alike, a smart strategy for offices, families, and groups with mixed tastes.
The Hiram opening also underscores how major quick-service brands are elevating beverage programs, with menus that feel crafted rather than commodity. By pairing familiar comfort with bright, globally inspired ingredients like yuzu and turmeric, Daybright finds a flavor identity that’s both accessible and distinctive.
Where To Try It
Daybright Coffee and Refreshment is now open at 4326 Jimmy Lee Smith Parkway in Hiram, Georgia. The location serves the full lineup of signature coffees, iced teas and lemonades, fizzes, smoothies, bright pressed juices, and Hot Takes, alongside kid-friendly options.
For Chick-fil-A loyalists and curious first-timers, the new concept offers an easy entry point: order a classic latte or cold brew, then branch out to a fizz, a pressed juice, or a warm Chocolate Pull Apart. It’s a simple formula, but one built to turn a quick stop into a repeat habit.
With a debut rooted in thoughtful flavors and efficient service, Daybright makes a confident case for Chick-fil-A’s next chapter in refreshment.
