If you just get a cup of coffee, the price is usually about the same, modulo free refills. The quality from the coffee shop is also usually better.

Diners (at least those where I live) have started offering more options (including cappuccino style concoctions) in response to the coffee house trend, and now tend to match the prices of those coffee houses.

Yeah, at this point, it might just be lingering feelings of luxury, even if its no longer the reality for the most part.
