When I visited San Francisco I saw some cafe lattes and similar to be over $10, and that was the smallest size. That place is seriously expensive.
On the other hand it’s nice to visit a place where restaurant food costs more than in Finland.
EDIT: A Finnish comparison might be ”It’s just a pint or two per month”. So not that expensive.
- johns 8y agoShow me one place selling a $10 latte in SF. $5-6 sure, but you're exaggerating for no good reason.
- sharpneli 8y agoIt was during last year on the GDC on some weird place near the convention center. Didn't visit any normal starbucks during the trip. Just enjoyed the $14 or so alcoholic drinks.
- VRay 8y agoHe was probably at some swanky overpriced restaurant I've definitely seen $8+ lattes at some super expensive restaurants in various cities around the world A little bit of rounding up, excessive generalization, and not backing down, and BAM!
- smohare 8y agoI’m skeptical. I live and work in SF and frequent fancy coffee shops. I have never seen $10 plus prices for basic espresso-based drinks, although $4-6 isn’t uncommon. A $10 coffee must of had some other markup applied or been a specialty drink. I’m not saying SF isn’t expensive. It’s not difficult to find cocktails in the $15-25 range, for instance.
