This Pa. city has the cheapest coffee in the entire U.S.

Do you find yourself in a fog before that first sip of coffee? Are you irritable, on edge, if you’re forced to go through a whole morning without a cup of Joe? Does the wafting smell of beans from a Chock Full o’Nuts bag soothe your soul quicker than any aroma therapy sold in a MLM scheme?

If this sounds like you—and you live in the central Pennsylvania region—you’re in luck, because one city in the area has the cheapest average price of coffee in the entire country.

Conducted and published by Saving Spot—an online budget management tool that seeks to help people save money—the study took a look at almost 10,000 coffee shops across 2,500 cities in America. From there it leveraged data from the U.S. Census Bureau as well as the price of coffee at each location to see which spots had the most and least expensive coffee in the U.S.

Based on this, Saving Spot found that none other than Harrisburg sold the cheapest cup of java at the average price of $1.18.

“Arguably the city became a coffee lover’s best friend not just because of the price but because of Midtown Scholar Bookstore,” adds the study. “Here, you can have a cup of coffee and lose yourself in one of the 200,000 old and new books on offer.”

Bookstore or not, finding a cup of coffee that’s a little over dollar is an alien concept in many other places in the States. Take, for example, the state of Washington, who as a whole has the most expensive coffee no matter what city you’re visiting, with places like Seattle coming in at $3.92 a cup.

Regardless, $3.92 is still way less than what Starbucks charges, so.
