Craving for something sweet? You’ve come to the right place!
When you think of Chick-fil-A, you picture their crispy chicken sandwiches, breaded nuggets, and salads with chicken toppers. There’s no other place to be when you’re craving a chicken meal. They may recently have a falling out on USA Today’s “10 Best Fast Food Restaurants in the United States” list since Mexican chain Del Taco took the top spot previously held by Chick-fil-A for nine consecutive years. However, they’re still pretty much in the running after they fall in the third spot.
It’s not surprising that Chick-fil-A held the top as the best restaurant in the country for that long since they’re all about innovation. And when I talk about innovation, you cannot miss Chick-fil-A’s Little Blue, which is their new restaurant concept that serves classic dishes in a cafè style. They also include some of Chick-fil-A’s classics.
Now, if you’re in the mood for sweet desserts and refreshing drinks, then Little Blue’s new releases are perfect for you. So, if you want to try different desserts than your usual Chick-fil-A Banana Pudding, then you can choose from the following:
- Blue Boba Breaker (New)
- Lemon Bar
- Cinnamon Roll
- Lemonade and Sweet Tea beverage gallons with bulk ice
Care For a Fresh Sip?
Aside from the usual soda offering, Chick-fil-A is known to serve different varieties of iced tea and lemonade. With that, it’s just fitting that Little Blue would serve this fan-favorite drink in gallons, plus bonus gallons of ice that would make you miss the summer heat.
But if you want to steer away from the usual beverages, you may want to try the new Blue Boba Breaker, which features huckleberry and watermelon flavors plus a splash of Sprite. For a chewy twist, boba pearls are added on top of the sweet cold foam.

Let’s Talk About Chick-fil-A’s Little Blue
Little Blue Menu is Chick-fil-A’s innovative kitchen brand, which is highly inspired by Chick-fil-A’s founder, S. Truett Cathy, who used to sample different menu items and present them on a blue menu. Now, it serves its purpose of guests ordering Chick-fil-A favorites such as wings, burgers, or whatever they try to create next.
The Senior Culinary Lead Developer, Stuart Tracy, was the one who built the menu from scratch. He tested hundreds of recipes until the menu items they offered were born. Tracy said that the Little Blue Menu is an opportunity to expose people to new flavors. Their store is located at the heart of College Part, which they consider a hub for all things innovation.
Created to test and innovate fast food items, Little Blue exists as an extra kitchen for Chick-fil-A as it’s a place where they can innovate food items ranging from pizza, burgers, and dinner. There’s also a little piece of Chick-fil-A where they offer classic food items such as their Original Chicken Sandwich.
Little Blue’s Menu Overview
Now that you know of its existence and purpose, aren’t you curious about what they offer? Like any other restaurant, they serve what they know of as best and shake things up a little bit to innovate food items that would best fit their branding. Here’s an overview of the brand menu.
Pizza Pies
As the Little Blue Menu puts it, pizzas are a well-loved crowd favorite for a reason. There are endless ways to customize them; all it needs are fun flavors to keep the ball rolling. Right now, Little Blue is currently offering one flavor, which is called Buff-lo-Ranch Pizza. Yup, I guess you know what this pizza is all about! It features Mozzarella cheese on a plain pizza base with seasoned Chick-fil-A Nuggets. It is drizzled in buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and a seasoning of zesty lemon pepper.
Burgers
For Chick-fil-A and Little Blue Menu, burgers are serious business; you have Chick-fil-A to prove that. For years, chicken sandwiches reigned supreme in the Chick-fil-A menu; that’s why they want to adopt the same strategy for the Little Blue Menu, where, of course, it first came from. Little Blue Menu does not compromise on flavor since they believe that the right burger is made off the right ingredients from trusted vendors with no fluff and no fuss. Check out the following burgers that they offer:

From The Club
Today, I learned about the Little Blue Menu of Chick-fil-A, and I think I’m amazed by the fact that all of Chick-fil-A’s menu items came from this genius little book. S. Truett Cathy was right when he thought of creating another restaurant from his book of ideas. It shares something in common with every restaurant chain, but not everyone can think of something like this. I guess that’s where Chick-fil-A’s innovativeness comes in handy.
