forbes.com — The average price for a cup of coffee in New York is $3.75. That may seem extravagant, but according to a survey compiled by Mercer, an American consulting firm, there are six cities in the world where the typical cup of joe goes for more than $5. Not surprisingly, most of these places have outrageously high prices for other everyday items.

lol - mlwarrior, on 07/25/2008, -0/+2There is no way this article is accurate in terms of Japan. During my excursion to Japan last summer, I basically wondered the streets of Tokyo for 2 weeks solid. It was hot, and I loved taking a break in a different cafe everytime. I NEVER paid more than 290 yen for a cup of iced coffee, and I NEVER paid more than 230 yen for regular coffee. This equates to about 2$ This includes that famous starbucks that in the intersection of shibuya.

This one of the most busy intersections in the world.
Also, there are no tips in Japan. None. So that couldn't have been the case. However they got this data, I can't trust the rest of the article based on this fact. - Providence, on 07/25/2008, -0/+2I get a large (read: venti) coffee with honey and cream from Eintstein's Bagels for a $1.50.
