The Priciest Coffee Cities in the World

The inverse of our affordability ranking: cities ranked by the share of tracked coffee shops that fall in the priciest tier, based on the price data Google shows for each venue (a price level or a typical price range) — not a menu audit of our own. Price tiers are set per currency so cities using different money are compared fairly. Only cities with at least 20 listed venues, and at least 10 with known pricing, are included. This measures where coffee is expensive relative to a venue's own city and currency — it isn't a claim about quality.
