Medians across the 29 Alabama cafes we hold a price for, against the same item averaged nationally. Franchisees set their own prices, so treat these as what to expect rather than a quote.
The same 5 items priced at each of the 29 Alabama cafes we hold a full price list for. $1.90 separates the two ends.
Cheapest cafe
$31.95
Auburn University - Ralph Brown Draughon Library

Dearest cafe

Mobile - Legacy Village at Spring Hill (Du Rhu Dr)

Each cafe sets its own prices, so two cafes in the same town can differ. A cafe inside an airport, a hospital, a campus or a motorway service area usually sits at the dearer end, wherever it is.
