Coffee has gone up everywhere over the last couple of years, to the point where a decent cup of coffee in Perth seems to average about $5.50 to $6.
Are there any holdouts left where you can get a good cup for under $5?

With average inflation, prices should double every 20 years. Coffees were $5 20-years-ago and probably rightly considered expensive and a lucrative business. If they’d kept up with inflation they’d be $10 by now. If they’d kept up with housing they’d be $25+.
Wut? Coffee was around $3.20 in the Melbourne CBD when I worked in the Rialto around 2008-2009. I don’t know where you were going for $5 coffees in 2003, but you were getting ripped off.
edit: Oh, in Perth. Sorry, my calibration is off, I’m thinking east coast prices. Carry on.
Brisbane here. I was thinking large lattes. And they were 4.50 when I started my coffee drinking career nearly 20 years ago. Maybe I’m rounding prices from a few years later but I think my point still stands that they haven’t kept up with inflation.
