Europe is a big place, you should be comparing the most expensive us cities to most expensive European cities. Having lived in SF and traveled to Zurich for example, I think overall cost of living is roughly similar but specifically eating at restaurants seemed noticeably cheaper in sf.
Europe is a big place but only a few European cities are more expensive and Switzerland overall is very expensive. They also get paid high wages than the min wage in America so it’s not surprising. I mentioned Vienna as an example because I know London is expensive. Sometimes in nyc I spend $10 on one coffee though.
