Answer and Explanation
Answer: 8888
Explanation 1: The prices, when translated into letters using A1Z26, give "PASSWORD" for the Palm Beach one, "IS EIGHT F" for the Astoria one, and "OUR TIMES" for the Long Island one. Together, it reads, "PASSWORD IS EIGHT FOUR TIMES", hence, 8888.
Explanation 2: The second name, "Mqopb - 8" means that MQOPB translates to EIGHT somehow. M is eight up from E, Q is eight up from I... hold on. Everything is eight up from the true words. So take every coffee name, and Caesar back 8 to get the true words, "Password is Eight Four times", which is 8888.
Explanation 3: When you inspect the source code with the "****", there's a hidden comment inside that says "<!--THE PASSWORD IS: 8888-->", hence, 8888.
