As with other products that have gone global, such as McDonald's Big Mac or Coca-Cola soft drinks, the price varies greatly depending on which country you are in. The map below shows a quick glance at the price of a Tall Latte, the star of the Seattle-based chain Starbucks. What country is the cheapest for Starbucks? And where is Starbucks most expensive? Starbucks has 32,000 cafés in 80 countries with prices ranging from just $1.31 in Turkey (€1.23) to $7.17 in Switzerland (€6.70). But how much is a Starbucks coffee in Spain? We reveal everything.
In 1971, three University of San Francisco alumni established the first Starbucks in Seattle's Pike Place Market, selling freshly roasted coffee beans, teas and spices from around the world. A relatively humble beginning for what is now the world's largest coffeehouse chain. Starbucks now has 32,000 shops in 80 countries, second only to McDonald's. And just like a fast food chain, the price of a Starbucks coffee varies greatly depending on the country you are in.
SavingSpot has created its very own map showing the price of Tall Latte coffee, one of the US chain's best sellers. They have used a combination of sources, including delivery apps, Google reviews, menu images and research, all verified to get the dollar price of a Tall Latte across the world.
Besides Switzerland or Turkey where the cheapest and most expensive Starbucks can be found, the US ranks 21st with a price of $3.26 (€3), in an unusual combination of a high-income country with a low coffee price. Generally, it is more common to see countries with a 'developing' or 'low to middle income' status have cheaper Starbucks prices than higher income countries.
When it comes to the price of Starbucks in Spain, a Tall Latte costs 3.95 dollars, just over €3.70. This is considerably higher than many other coffee shops in Spain. In Spain, a cup of coffee can cost as little as €0.60, or as much as €2.50 if we're talking about speciality coffee. The average cost of a cup of coffee in Spain is around €1.50 in 2023.
