How Much Does Starbucks Cost?

Prices vary by market, but these are typical U.S. company-operated Starbucks prices:

• Drip coffee (Tall): $3.25–$3.75

Starbucks prices differ by market based on local labor costs, rent, and regional pricing strategy. A latte in Manhattan or San Francisco typically costs $0.50–$1.00 more than the same drink in a mid-size Midwest city. Airport and Target licensed stores add a further $0.50–$1.50 surcharge reflecting concession rent.

Canada prices are set in CAD and track roughly 10–15% higher in nominal terms — a Grande latte runs $6.25–$7.00 CAD.
