The travel research site compared pretax prices of five common Starbucks menu items — a grande brewed coffee, a grande Caffè Latte, a bacon, Gouda, and egg sandwich, a Strawberry Açaí Refresher, and a birthday cake pop — at post-security locations in 53 major U.S. airports against a company-operated store near downtown in each corresponding city.
