Ranking the Best Fast Food Iced Coffees: Chick-fil-A, Panera, Starbucks
Are you a fan of iced coffee? Do you find yourself constantly on the lookout for the best fast-food options to satisfy your caffeine cravings? Look no further, as we have ranked the top 10 fast-food iced coffees to help you make the best choice for your next pick-me-up.
Coming in at number 6 on our list is Chick-fil-A. Known for their delicious chicken sandwiches, Chick-fil-A also offers a cold brew iced coffee with original or vanilla flavor options. Priced at $3.49 for one size, this drink impressed us with its smaller ice nuggets and balanced ice-to-coffee ratio. However, we found the vanilla flavor to be a bit overpowering, masking the potential for a great coffee taste that Chick-fil-A is known for. If you’re a fan of strong vanilla flavors, this drink might be for you, but we recommend sticking to their traditional cup of joe for a more classic coffee experience.
Next up at number 5 is Panera. While their menu may only list plain iced coffee, don’t be afraid to ask for added flavors like vanilla. Priced at $3.69 with an additional $0.89 for vanilla flavor, Panera’s iced coffee impressed us with its strong coffee taste and light sweetness. While we would have liked a bit more ice in the cup, overall, this crafted coffee experience was a step above pre-mixed options.
And at number 4, we have Starbucks. Known for their breakfast sandwiches, Starbucks also offers exceptional iced coffee that can be customized to your liking. Priced at $3.95 for a tall with one pump of vanilla syrup, Starbucks’ iced coffee can be tailored to suit your taste buds. While we found the drink to be a bit bitter without milk, adding a splash of dairy transformed the flavor. The customizable nature of Starbucks’ iced coffee makes it a great option for those looking for a personalized caffeine fix on busy mornings.
Stay tuned for the next installment of our ranking to discover more top fast-food iced coffee options that will keep you energized and satisfied throughout the day.
