⚠️ Brand Status: All Day Coffee currently displays “We are closed for now. Thank you to our supporters. ❤️” on the homepage. All four products are sold out. The brand appears to be on pause. This report analyzes the product, positioning, and market opportunity as it stands — including what went right, what went wrong, and what a relaunch or next chapter would need to succeed.
What We Looked At
We analyzed All Day Coffee’s Shopify storefront, all four product pages (Shopify JSON + rendered content), the “Our Story” page, Shopify metafield review data (~10 total reviews with 4.8–5.0 star ratings across the catalog), Instagram (@alldaycoffee) and TikTok (@alldaycoffeeco) presence, Trustpilot (unclaimed, 0 reviews), Amazon (no listings), and the competitive landscape including Dekáf, Onyx Coffee Lab Circadian, MUD\WTR, Four Sigmatic, and grocery half-caff options. All Day Coffee is one of only three brands we’ve found offering multiple discrete caffeine levels in specialty-grade coffee — alongside Dekáf (decaf-only with low-caff blends) and Onyx Circadian (5 levels from one bean).
Right Concept. Right Market. Early Execution.
All Day Coffee was founded by Shane, Chris, and Mike — three coffee lovers who experienced the same thing millions of people experience every day: caffeine-induced anxiety, jitters, irritability, and crashes. Their solution was a four-product line spanning Decaf to Full Caffeine, each with its own name and personality: Low Tide (Decaf), Mellow (25%), Cruising (50%), and The Fast Lane (Full Caf). All Colombian origin, all $19 for 10oz, all Swiss Water® processed, all medium roast, each with distinct tasting notes. The concept is strong. The product naming is excellent. The market timing is perfect.
But the brand is currently closed. All four products are sold out. The site carries a “We are closed for now” banner. There are approximately 10 total on-site reviews, zero Trustpilot reviews, zero Amazon presence, and no blog or educational content. The subscription page 404s. This isn’t a product problem — it’s a traction problem. The concept of a caffeine-spectrum coffee brand built for anxious coffee lovers is validated by the fact that Onyx Coffee Lab (the #1 Coffee Shop in the World) launched an almost identical concept — Circadian — in January 2026. All Day Coffee saw the market first. The question is whether it can capture it.
What the Brand Says vs. What the Product Does
The product line has two design decisions that set it apart from Onyx Circadian (its closest competitor): (1) Each caffeine level has a unique flavor profile — Circadian uses one bean across all five levels, while All Day uses different beans/blends for each level, giving each its own tasting character. This is a double-edged sword: it creates four distinct “products” rather than one product with a dial, which is harder to explain but creates more reasons to buy multiple bags. (2) The product names function as a metaphor — “Low Tide” to “The Fast Lane” creates an intuitive speed scale that doesn’t require percentages to understand. Circadian uses Decaf/25%/50%/75%/Full — more precise but less evocative.
Where All Day Sits in a Forming Category
| Brand | Caffeine Levels | Price | Authority | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All Day Coffee | 4 (Decaf, 25%, 50%, Full) | $19/10oz | Founder story only | Closed / Sold out |
| Onyx Circadian | 5 (Decaf, 25%, 50%, 75%, Full) | $20/8oz | #1 Coffee Shop in the World | Active, running Meta ads |
| Dekáf | 3 tiers (Decaf 0.1%, Low-Caff 25%/50%) | $21.95/12oz | Only decaf-only specialty roaster | Active, 640+ reviews |
| MUD\WTR | 2 (Original ~35mg, :rest 0mg) | $50/30 servings | $100M+ brand, VC-backed | Active, massive awareness |
| Grocery Half-Caff | 2 (Half-caff, Decaf) | $8–$12/12oz | Commodity brand (Folgers, etc.) | Ubiquitous, low quality |
The category is forming in real time. When All Day Coffee launched in April 2025, it was one of the first brands to offer a multi-level caffeine spectrum. Nine months later, Onyx Coffee Lab — the most decorated specialty roaster in America — launched Circadian with a nearly identical concept. That’s category validation from the most credible possible source. It also means the window to establish positioning is narrowing. Every month that All Day is “closed” is a month that Onyx, Dekáf, and inevitably others are building awareness in this space.
Four Markets, Four Product Names
This is All Day Coffee’s origin market — literally. Shane, Chris, and Mike built the brand because caffeine “hit them HARD — jitters, anxiety, irritability, and crashes.” That’s not marketing copy. It’s a founder story shared by tens of millions of Americans. Anxiety disorders affect over 40 million US adults. Caffeine exacerbates anxiety in a significant percentage of them. Yet the coffee industry offers exactly two options: full caffeine or decaf. That binary choice is what All Day Coffee was built to break.
The homepage already speaks directly to this audience: “Lose the anxious moments. Caffeine without the chaos. Enjoy your coffee without the racing heart or restless mind.” That’s strong copy. The product design supports it: Mellow (25%) and Cruising (50%) are the precision tools this audience needs. The emotional hook isn’t “drink less coffee.” It’s “stop being afraid of your coffee.” For someone who has a complicated relationship with caffeine — loves the taste, fears the side effects — All Day Coffee is the permission slip to enjoy coffee again.
The founders’ story IS the marketing. Three guys who loved coffee but whose bodies rejected full caffeine. They didn’t quit. They built a solution. Every person with caffeine anxiety sees themselves in that story.
Works Alongside (Not Against)

Angles That Work Here
The sleep optimization movement has created a massive audience of people who love coffee but have imposed strict timing rules on themselves: no caffeine after noon, after 2 PM, after some arbitrary cutoff. Andrew Huberman’s caffeine protocol, Matthew Walker’s sleep research, and the Oura/Whoop tracking trend have all converged to make caffeine timing mainstream knowledge. These people aren’t anti-coffee. They’re pro-sleep. And they’re currently solving the problem by cutting off coffee entirely rather than dialing it down.
All Day Coffee’s product names map beautifully to a daily rhythm: The Fast Lane for the morning. Cruising for midday. Mellow for late afternoon. Low Tide for evening. The brand name itself — All Day Coffee — is the positioning statement. You don’t have to stop drinking coffee at 2 PM. You just shift gears. The homepage copy “less insomnia” is already there, but it’s buried in a list. It should be the headline for this entire audience.
The brand name says it: All Day. The product names are a daily progression: Fast Lane (7 AM) → Cruising (12 PM) → Mellow (4 PM) → Low Tide (8 PM). This is a daily coffee calendar, not a product line.

Angles That Work Here
Every year, millions of people navigate the same caffeine restriction: “limit to 200mg per day.” That’s the standard OB/GYN guideline. For someone who was drinking 3 cups of full-caffeine coffee, that restriction fundamentally changes their daily routine. Most overcorrect to full decaf. Some ration a single cup. Almost none have discovered that a 25% caffeine option lets them drink four cups while staying under the limit.
All Day Coffee’s Mellow (25%) is the exact product this audience needs. Swiss Water® processed (no chemicals — critical for prenatal buyers), Colombian origin, specialty-grade. And “Low Tide” as the decaf is a beautiful name for the evening-during-pregnancy cup. The product design is already right. The messaging doesn’t address this audience at all. The homepage copy focuses on anxiety and biohacking. A single dedicated landing page for expectant parents could open an enormous, emotionally resonant, and viral-by-nature market segment.
The math IS the ad. Don’t say “pregnancy coffee.” Say: your doctor said limit caffeine. We made a coffee called Mellow. At 25%, four cups is one cup. Swiss Water. No chemicals. No compromise.

Angles That Work Here
All Day Coffee has a structural advantage over Onyx Circadian that it hasn’t exploited: each caffeine level has a unique flavor profile. Low Tide tastes like blackberry, lavender, and jasmine. Mellow tastes like banana, herbs, and pineapple. Cruising tastes like hibiscus, strawberry, and rose. The Fast Lane tastes like mango, blackberry, and caramel. These aren’t variations of the same coffee — they’re four distinct drinking experiences.
This means the ideal customer doesn’t buy one bag. They buy two or three. A “Your Daily Rotation” bundle — pick any 3 for $49, pick all 4 for $59 — would be the highest-AOV offer in the catalog. A subscription that auto-ships your personalized caffeine schedule every month (2 bags of Mellow + 1 Low Tide, for example) would drive the highest LTV. The subscription page currently 404s. This is the single most impactful infrastructure fix the brand needs.
Don’t sell one bag. Sell a caffeine schedule. Fast Lane for mornings, Cruising for midday, Mellow for afternoons, Low Tide for evenings. The bundle IS the product.

What Went Right. What Didn’t.
Product Concept
Four caffeine levels with distinct personalities and flavors is a strong product architecture. The speed metaphor (Low Tide → Fast Lane) is intuitive and memorable. Swiss Water® process is the right choice. Colombian single-origin at $19/10oz is competitive pricing. The concept was validated when Onyx launched Circadian 9 months later.
Founder-Market Fit
Three founders who personally experienced caffeine anxiety is the ideal origin story for this product. It’s authentic, relatable, and shared by tens of millions of potential customers. The “Our Story” page is honest and human. This story should be the center of every ad campaign.
Distribution & Social Proof
~10 total on-site reviews. Zero Trustpilot. Zero Amazon. Zero blog content. Subscription page 404s. No sampler or variety pack. No bundle pricing. In a category where Dekáf has 640+ reviews and Onyx has world-championship pedigree, All Day Coffee launched with a product and not much else. The product was right. The go-to-market was thin.
Five Moves for a Relaunch
Fix the Subscription Infrastructure
The subscription page 404s. For a brand called “All Day Coffee” — built for daily consumption at varying caffeine levels — subscription is the core business model, not an add-on. Build a “Build Your Rotation” subscription that lets buyers pick 2–4 bags at their preferred caffeine levels, auto-shipped monthly. This is how the brand captures LTV from the multi-bag buyer.
Launch a Sampler Pack
A 4-bag sampler (2oz of each: Low Tide, Mellow, Cruising, Fast Lane) at $12–$15 is the missing trial product. It lowers the barrier from $19 for one bag to $15 for the full experience. It generates data on which caffeine level converts best. And it creates a natural gift product for the pregnant/postpartum market.
Lead with the Founder Story
The strongest asset isn’t the product — it’s the founders. Three guys who loved coffee but were wrecked by caffeine. Every ad should start here. UGC-style video of Shane, Chris, or Mike telling their story: “Caffeine hit us hard. So we built a coffee with a dial.” This is the emotional resonance that Onyx Circadian (a clinical, brand-forward product) can’t replicate.
Own “Anxiety-Friendly Coffee”
No brand owns this phrase. Circadian owns “science and sleep.” Dekáf owns “decaf-only roaster.” All Day Coffee should own “anxiety-friendly coffee” — the brand that exists because caffeine makes people anxious. That’s the SEO strategy, the ad strategy, and the content strategy. Build a blog. Publish articles about caffeine and anxiety. Become the trusted resource.
Differentiate Against Circadian Explicitly
Onyx Circadian is All Day Coffee’s most direct competitor — but the products are actually different in important ways. Circadian offers one bean at five caffeine levels (same taste across all). All Day offers four distinct coffees at four levels (different taste at each). Circadian is $20/8oz. All Day is $19/10oz (better value). Circadian has no subscription. All Day can build one. Circadian is backed by the #1 Coffee Shop in the World. All Day is backed by three anxious founders who get it. The comparison is: Circadian is a product from a roaster. All Day is a brand from people like you. Lean into the underdog founder energy.
The Relaunch Playbook
Step 1: Fix infrastructure before reopening. Subscription page. Sampler pack. Bundle pricing (3 bags for $49, 4 bags for $59). Email capture with a “We’re relaunching” waitlist. These are pre-requisites, not nice-to-haves. Opening the store without subscription and bundles leaves most of the revenue on the table.
Step 2: Build a 30-day content runway. Before spending on ads, publish the founder story as a video (Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts). Film the “day in the life” of drinking all four coffees from morning to night. Create comparison content against grocery half-caff options. Post the Swiss Water® process explanation. Build the blog with 5–10 articles about caffeine and anxiety. Create organic social proof and SEO presence before paying for traffic.
Step 3: Launch ads targeting one market. Start with the anxiety-driven caffeine reducer — it’s the founders’ own market, the emotional resonance is highest, and the targeting is clear (anxiety management, wellness, therapy communities). Lead with UGC founder-story video. Drive to the sampler pack. Measure CAC and conversion to subscription.
Step 4: Expand to the sleep-optimization market. Once anxiety-driven acquisition is working, add the “no coffee after 2 PM” audience. Different hook (“Don’t stop at noon. Shift gears.”), same product. The brand name “All Day” is the perfect positioning for this audience.
The bottom line: All Day Coffee identified the right market, built the right product, chose the right names, and sourced the right beans. The concept was validated when the #1 Coffee Shop in the World launched a near-identical product 9 months later. What was missing wasn’t the idea — it was the go-to-market infrastructure: subscription, bundles, content, social proof, and distribution. Those are all fixable. The question isn’t whether this concept works. Onyx already proved it does. The question is whether All Day Coffee can relaunch with the execution the concept deserves — before the window closes.
