When I visited San Francisco I saw some cafe lattes and similar to be over $10, and that was the smallest size. That place is seriously expensive.

On the other hand it’s nice to visit a place where restaurant food costs more than in Finland.

EDIT: A Finnish comparison might be ”It’s just a pint or two per month”. So not that expensive.

I’m skeptical. I live and work in SF and frequent fancy coffee shops. I have never seen $10 plus prices for basic espresso-based drinks, although $4-6 isn’t uncommon. A $10 coffee must of had some other markup applied or been a specialty drink.

I’m not saying SF isn’t expensive. It’s not difficult to find cocktails in the $15-25 range, for instance.

Show me one place selling a $10 latte in SF. $5-6 sure, but you're exaggerating for no good reason.

He was probably at some swanky overpriced restaurant

I've definitely seen $8+ lattes at some super expensive restaurants in various cities around the world

A little bit of rounding up, excessive generalization, and not backing down, and BAM!

It was during last year on the GDC on some weird place near the convention center. Didn't visit any normal starbucks during the trip. Just enjoyed the $14 or so alcoholic drinks.
