The morning of many Ukrainians traditionally begins with a cup of coffee, which is also often consumed throughout the day to boost mood and energy. Amid the large-scale war, coffee prices have significantly increased, and currently, Kyiv, Lviv, and Odesa have become cities with the most expensive coffee, while the cheapest coffee products are available in Rivne, Khmelnytskyi, and Ternopil. This is confirmed by data from the analytical portal Numbeo.
