Florida has most expensive coffee in the South

The average cup of joe will run you $3.38 in Florida, per a new analysis by restaurant tech company Toast.

The big picture: That's 30 cents higher than the national average and more expensive than any other state in the South. On the East Coast, only Massachusetts' coffee is more expensive than Florida's.

Why it matters: Inflation can seem most frustrating when it hits our everyday staples.

Between the lines: Prices get crazier if you want a fancier drink.

• The average Florida latte is $5.67 and a cold brew clocks in at $5.56.
• Our reader-favorite Blind Tiger charges $3.25 for a cup of coffee, $5.00 for a latte and $4.75 for a cold brew.
