An iced coffee can cost a latte these days, which can hurt the wallets of java junkies.
To not overspend on a coffee-a-day habit — or some might call it an addiction — a reporter at Delish looked at nine different fast-food and fast-casual menus to find the cheapest iced coffee in America.
The outlet discovered that Burger King reigns supreme when it comes to having the cheapest coffee in America. You can’t beat a $1.99 coffee in this economy.
Wendy’s came in at No. 2 with their offering of a $2.49 cold brew. Even if you want something more indulgent, a caramel cold foam is under $3.50.
Many people probably thought it was safe to assume that McDonald’s was the cheapest coffee option. Not exactly, but it did come in at third place on the list.
Their coffee is so beloved because the blend is made specifically for McDonald’s — and with a price tag of $2.79, it’s hard to beat.
People tend to gravitate toward Taco Bell for some late-night munchies, but don’t negate them when it comes to their breakfast. How could you pass up a $3.04 coffee?

People rave about Chick-fil-A’s iced coffee taste — and it’s a pretty good deal, too. Talk about a win-win.
No matter what customizations you make to it, the iced coffee will always cost only $4.99, according to Delish. Make that a large triple-iced mocha espresso, please.

A regular iced coffee will cost you a whopping $5.19, which is definitely pricey for a fast-casual restaurant.
America does not run on Dunkin’. The beloved chain actually came in as the most expensive option on the list.
