I believe the answer is:

fees

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'what people pay' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'in coffee shops' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'FEES' is hidden in the letters of 'coffee shops'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fees that I've seen before include "Service charges" , "Fixed charges for professional services" , "pay" , "Professional payments" , "School payment(s), for example" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
