Burger King's menu changed, new coffee and lemonade drinks added - is it to compete with Starbucks and McDonald's?
Move over, Starbucks. Burger King has just entered the iced coffee chat—and no, they are not playing it safe. The fast-food chain has rolled out four Iced Coffee Cold Foam options, including Vanilla, Mocha, Black, and a limited-edition Plain (which is only available at select spots, so basically: good luck). Gen Z caffeine lovers, brace yourselves. Burger King menu changed This big swing is part of BK's latest mission to level up its drinks game and, let's be real, snatch a bit of that coffee cash from its rivals. But the tea, or should we say lemonade, does not stop there. Burger King has also dropped two Real Juice Lemonades: Strawberry Lemonade made with real fruit juice, and a Mango Peach Lemonade that sounds like it came straight out of a summer picnic fantasy. The drinks are priced at a recommended $2.49 (small), $2.79 (medium), and $3.29 (large), though prices may vary depending on your zip code and the universe's mood that day. According to BK's team, the goal was to serve something 'delicious and refreshing' that feels less like fast food and more like a mini escape. Not just sips, Burger King also stacking the whopper drama These drinks are not the only spicy new thing on the menu. BK recently launched the BBQ Brisket Whopper, the first fan-created item from its 'Whopper by You' platform. Yep, now customers are co-designing burgers like it is Build-A-Burger Workshop out here. The meaty new Whopper includes slow-cooked brisket, crispy onions, American cheese, sweet barbecue sauce, lettuce, tomato, creamy mayo, and a flame-grilled patty. Oh, and there is a Whopper Jr. version for the minimalists. Burger King's fighting for fast-food survival Industry insiders say this entire menu glow-up is not just for vibes. Financial experts believe Burger King is fighting to win back customers who stopped dining out during inflation struggles. BK's drinks revamp is a calculated move to lure Starbucks stans, McDonald's loyalists, and Dutch Bros drive-thru regulars into the kingdom. It is a beverage battlefield out there, and BK just brewed its boldest comeback yet.

Burger King Announces Major Menu Change
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Burger King has rolled out a suite of new beverage options, the company confirmed to Newsweek on Friday. As part of the new menu lineup, the fast-food giant introduced four Iced Coffee Cold Foam options and two Real Juice Lemonades. Why It Matters The product launches highlight Burger King's ongoing efforts to diversify its drink menu and respond more directly to consumer preferences. The expansion comes as the fast-food market sees increased competition over beverage offerings, with chains like Starbucks and McDonald's driving innovations in coffee and refreshments.

LOIC VENANCE/AFP via Getty Images What To Know Burger King is now selling four Iced Coffee Cold Foam options—Vanilla, Mocha, Plain and Black—with the plain variety limited to select locations. The chain has also launched two Real Juice Lemonades: Strawberry Lemonade, made with real fruit juice, and Mango Peach Lemonade, a blend of lemonade with peach and mango juices. Prices for these new beverages are set at a recommended $2.49 for a small, $2.79 for a medium and $3.29 for a large, but actual prices may vary by location. These drinks have become available nationwide, according to a Burger King spokesperson. "The new Strawberry Lemonade is made with real fruit juice for a delicious and refreshing beverage and the Mango Peach Lemonade is a vibrant blend of lemonade with real peach and mango juice," the spokesperson told Newsweek. The drink menu additions follow Burger King's recent debut of the BBQ Brisket Whopper, described as the first menu item created through its "Whopper by You" platform. The new program allows customers nationwide to submit their ideas for new Whopper sandwiches on the chain's official website. The BBQ Brisket Whopper includes slow-cooked brisket, crispy onions, American cheese, sweet barbecue sauce, lettuce, tomato, creamy mayo and a flame-grilled quarter-pound patty, and will also be offered as a Whopper Jr. The new menu item will be available for a limited time at participating U.S. locations. What People Are Saying Kevin Thompson, CEO of 9i Capital Group and host of the 9innings podcast, told Newsweek: "Burger King launched these new drinks to gain a portion of the market share that has exploded over the past few years. The want to target those incremental Starbucks, Dutch Brothers and McDonald's beverage drinkers." Alex Beene, financial literacy instructor for the University of Tennessee at Martin, told Newsweek: "Burger King is the latest to offer new menu options in the form of coffee cold foams and lemonades in the hopes of luring back customers. Over the last two years, as inflationary pressures have weighed heavily on consumers, many have favored staying at home and cooking over dining out, and the result has been declining revenues and profits for many fast food chains." What Happens Next The company has launched these new menu items as part of a broader strategy to drive customer engagement and refresh its core offerings in the U.S. marketplace. "Like other restaurants, Burger King is introducing new items in an attempt to draw in customers who haven't frequented their locations as much as prices increased," Beene added.
