Medians across the 13 Nebraska 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 13 Nebraska cafes we hold a full price list for. $0.00 separates the two ends.
Cheapest cafe
$34.65
Bellevue - Cornhusker Rd east of Hwy75
Bellevue, NE
Dearest cafe
$34.65
Papillion - W Cedardale Rd off S Washington & Hwy 370
Papillion, NE
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.
The same 5 item basket averaged per town, cheapest first, against a Nebraska average of $34.65.
| Town | Basket | vs NE average |
|---|---|---|
| Bellevue | $34.65 | +$0.00 |
| Kearney | $34.65 | +$0.00 |
| Lincoln | $34.65 | +$0.00 |
| Omaha | $34.65 | +$0.00 |
| Papillion | $34.65 | +$0.00 |
Towns appear here only where at least one cafe prices all 5 basket items, so a few of the 5 Nebraska towns are missing rather than cheap. Where a town has more than one cafe the figure is the average of them.
