Page purpose

Understand the observed-price methodology and its limits.

This page organizes our reviewed menu records, dated reference prices and serving-level nutrition. Local availability and final cafe totals can still change.

Why one national price would be misleading

Final prices can differ by cafe, order channel, portion, customization, tax, fee and promotion. Our tables use dated reference values to support planning without presenting them as guaranteed local totals.

How we label prices

Reference identifies a dated menu-guide value. From means the source supplied an item-level starting value rather than a price for every portion. A future cafe observation will identify its location, channel and capture date separately.

What to compare before buying

Match the exact item, size and customization. Then account for cafe availability, pickup or delivery, taxes and fees. This preserves the usefulness of our planning prices without implying one amount applies everywhere.
