I have never seen the word elixir on a coffee shop menu.... With that being said... If I did see it this would be my exact reaction!

It's a short code for "everything on the menu is ~$3 more than it should be."

Last trendy coffee stop I visited, I told them I was offended by their prices and walked out.

Yeah, overpriced + wellness culture nonsense

8 bucks honestly isn't like super outrageous, it's in line with pretty much everything I can get where I am

This is the middle of Tennessee. Granted, a few miles out of a tourist town and a sprawling national park, but still Tennessee.

If this were Manhattan, I'd expect these prices.
