Well many places are selling coffee at $2 to $4 depending. And this is at Mc Donald’s and Tostadors just a few. I always wondered why coffee here so expensive?? I buy at Volio in the mercado a half kilo beans for 2250 colones. I haven’t exactly figured out how many cups I make a pot a day for 10 days I figure 25 cents a cup you can argue 50 cents or 250 colons then again why 3 bucks?? Star bucks will be a hit in that area with those making big money and our diputados a status I guess.
