$1.39 for a Regular Hot Coffee at Wendy's, at 5 calories, with the line reaching $1.89.
The Wendy's Regular Hot Coffee price is $1.39 for the smallest cup, and the company publishes 5 calories against it. That makes it the cheapest hot drink on the menu and the only item on the coffee list carrying a calorie figure at all. Fifty cents covers the whole size ladder, which finishes at $1.89, and no other size ladder on either list climbs by so little.

If something goes wrong
The coffee cost more than $1.39
- Cause
- $1.39 buys the smallest cup on a listing that runs to $1.89, and a franchised restaurant prices its own board on top of that range.
- Fix
- Match the size before comparing. The Wendy's app returns the figure for a chosen restaurant and the cup actually ordered.
The 5 calories seems too low for a cup of coffee
- Cause
- The figure describes the coffee as Wendy's lists it, with nothing stirred in. Cream, sugar and syrup added at the counter are not part of the count.
- Fix
- Add the extras separately when tracking intake. Everything below the calorie line on this drink could not be read, so the 5 is all the company confirms.
Cold brew was expected at the same price
- Cause
- Coffee at Wendy's runs in two tiers, hot at $1.39 and cold at $2.29, and the two are listed as separate products on the same page.
- Fix
- Order by tier rather than by habit. The 90 cents between them is the largest gap between rows on the coffee list.
The cheapest cup on the menu, and the only coffee with a number
$1.39 is the lowest price Wendy's publishes for a hot drink, and on the whole beverages list only the children's juice pouch at $0.99 comes in below it. Coffee at this chain is not competing with a coffee bar. It is competing with the fountain nine feet away, where the cheapest cup is $2.29, and it wins that argument by 90 cents before anyone tastes anything.
What's in it
Brewed coffee in a paper cup, published by Wendy's at 5 calories, which is the only calorie figure anywhere on the coffee list. That 5 describes the drink as the company lists it, before anything is added at the counter, so cream and sugar taken on the way out are outside the number. Nothing underneath it could be obtained. The fat, sodium, carbohydrate and protein panel on that ordering site renders through script once the page has loaded and returned placeholders on every attempt, so the macros could not be read, and the allergen list is unavailable the same way.
Is it worth it
Fifty cents is the whole distance from the smallest cup to the largest, $1.39 to $1.89, which is the tightest size ladder on either list. A fountain cola charges a dollar for the same move and a Cold Brew charges $1.20. Upgrading hot coffee is therefore the cheapest size decision Wendy's offers, and at 5 calories it is also the only one that carries no nutritional consequence worth naming.
Against the cold side of the same page the gap is 90 cents. Cold Brew starts at $2.29, which is 65 per cent above the hot cup, and it arrives with no calorie count because those are published across cup sizes. Anyone who wants coffee, a low figure and a verified one has exactly one row to choose from here, and it is the cheapest row on the page. Only one price reading stands behind the $1.39, taken from Wendy's itself, so no range appears and the board inside a franchised restaurant remains the variable nobody can publish in advance.
One more comparison belongs on the page. Across the twelve beverages only the $0.99 juice pouch comes in under this cup, and a carton of milk at $1.59 sits 20 cents above it. Anyone wanting caffeine cheaply at Wendy's has exactly one row to look at, and it happens to be the only row on the coffee page with a verified count beside the money.

No. Franchised restaurants set their own boards and coffee is priced by the cup as well, so only the app can answer for one address.
