Questions people ask

How are these prices worked out?

From the cafe menus we read in each city, November 2026. Each cafe counts once, at its main price for the item, and add-ons, large sizes and combos are left out. The typical price is the middle price: half the cafes charge less, half charge more. A city needs at least 8 cafes with a price before we show a figure; below that we say not enough cafes yet. We never name a cafe for its prices.

How we work out a price

We read the menus of the cafes we follow in each city and match each line to an item by its name. A flat white also counts a latte or cappuccino, the way most cafes price them the same.
Each cafe counts once, at its main price for the item. Add-ons, large sizes, combos and retail packs are left out, and prices far from the city's usual are set aside as likely mistakes.
The typical price is the middle price: half the cafes charge less, half charge more.
8 in 10 cafes charge between the two prices shown: we leave out the cheapest 10 and the dearest 10 in every 100.
A city needs at least 8 cafes with a price before we show a figure, and an area 5. Below that we say not enough cafes yet.
Australia puts every city's cafe prices together, each cafe once, and works the typical price out again. We never add cafe counts from different cities into one figure.
Extras (alternative milk, decaf, syrup and an extra shot) are what each cafe adds for one, its cheapest such line.
Figures are for the month shown and update as menus are read again. We never name a cafe for its prices.
