Starbucks

Anyone who regularly orders coffee on the go will know about Starbucks. They're everywhere and are basically synonymous with the words "coffee chain."

That being said, Starbucks doesn't exactly come cheap. For example, if you want a Grande — the equivalent to 473 ml — drip coffee from the Seattle-based coffee giant, you'll be forking over $2.95.

If you'd like a cold caffeine hit of the same size, it will cost you $3.95, while the more luxurious Caffe Latte (made with 2% milk) will run you $5.25.

That pretty much makes it the most expensive chain that Narcity looked at.

Is it worth the price? Well, for some it just might be.

Second Cup

This is one of the more unsung heroes of coffee in Canada.

Second Cup is a Canadian chain that has locations across the country.

Over here, you can get a medium (about 473 ml) black brewed coffee for $2.85. Those looking for a medium latte will have to pay $4.95.

Unfortunately, Second Cup doesn't have a straight-up "iced coffee" on their menu — at least online — so the closest thing to it would be their Flash Cold Brew, which costs $4.45.

This is something that's obviously not the same as an iced coffee, so don't mix them up!

Country Style Café

Believe it or not, this is one of the biggest coffee chains in Canada. With hundreds of locations all the way from B.C. to Newfoundland, it's another great option for Canadians looking to get that caffeine fix.

And the prices are pretty impressive.

A medium-sized black coffee (473 ml) from Country Style costs $1.99, while a latte will scan through at $3.55.

If you want to cool off, an iced coffee will run you $2.49.

Tim Hortons

Of course, it's impossible to make a list of Canadian coffee chains and not mention Tim Hortons.

According to the Tim Hortons website, if you're after a medium (about 414 ml) black coffee that'll run you $1.83.

For a latte, expect to pay $3.49, and for an iced coffee you'll fork out $2.49.

These prices make Tim Hortons one of the cheapest coffee options in Canada.

Matter of fact, it's almost tied with McDonald's in terms of affordability, which is awesome given how ubiquitous this chain is in Canada.

McDonald's

World famous for its food, McDonald's has been getting more and more into the coffee game over the last few years.

While they've always sold straight-up drip coffee, other offerings like lattes, cappuccinos and similar sippers are also gradually appearing on the menu.

And, except for one drink, McDonald's and Tim Hortons are tied for affordability.

If you want to get a medium coffee (485 ml) from the Golden Arches, that'll run you $1.83.

If you're looking for more of a rich and indulgent experience, a latte from McDonald's will cost $3.39 — 10 cents cheaper than the price at Tim Hortons.

As for iced coffees, take your pick, as they also cost $2.49 — exactly the same as Tims.
