Medians across the 87 North Carolina 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 87 North Carolina cafes we hold a full price list for. $8.50 separates the two ends.
Cheapest cafe
$32.75
Cape Fear Valley Hospital - Center for Medical Education (Food Court)

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 North Carolina average of $34.51.
