Drink coffee? 5 most expensive states for a cup of Joe, according to sales data

Coffee is big business across America, and a recent study details the most expensive states to purchase a cup of Joe, as well as influential price factors.

Coffee lovers in Hawaii pay the most for a regular cup of coffee out of all 50 states, according to a report from Toast, a restaurant point of sale and management system.

"On average, consumers paid $3.08 for a cup of regular coffee, $5.14 for cold brew, $5.46 for lattes, and $3.74 for tea in Q1 2024," Toast found. 

Hawaii has an average price 59% higher than the rest of the U.S. at $4.89. For those who like lattes, Toast found the average price in Hawaii to be $6.69, saying prices are likely higher due to the price of milk and the cost of shipping.
