Page purpose

Understand the observed-price methodology and its limits.

This page separates source-checked facts from values that still require a selected-cafe check. Missing prices or availability are labeled instead of estimated.

Why one national price would be misleading

Final prices can differ by cafe, order channel, portion, customization, tax, fee, and promotion. This guide therefore distinguishes a dated official advertised offer from an observed cafe-specific pickup price.

Our price record standard

A cafe-specific price is published only with the exact item and portion, selected cafe, USD amount, pickup or other channel, capture date, expiry date, and evidence source. With no eligible current capture, the page says Price unavailable.

What the $4.99 example means

The dated Mix & Match example is an advertised multi-item offer with participating-cafe conditions. It is not substituted for a regular single-item price and should be rechecked in the official order flow.
