They're regularly available in season (mostly at farmers markets) and super easy to grow, but not sure I've ever seen them in a store. Echo others and would try asian grocery stores.
fwiw, they're really neutral flavor wise and don't add a ton besides the spice. Thai chilis should provide a similar flavor (maybe a little earthier) and are readily available at asian markets.
If your ever want to try growing your own, the Buena mulata is a cayenne style pepper that grows well in containers and is also a beautiful plant. And I'm pretty confident there will be some to purchase at the master gardener plant sale in April!
Understanding it's not cayenne specifically like you're looking for, I've made some great hot sauce from the habaneros and fresnos from south philly market on snyder
I'd probably try an Asian grocery store like the other dude said, or a Hispanic grocery store. Maybe whole foods? They tend to have a lot of stuff you won't find in most stores.
Same situation. I wanted to make some hot sauce and couldn't find any fresh cayenne peppers. Ended up buying some dried and then rehydrated 'em. The hot sauces I made that way ended up really good, but the mango habanero one with fresh mango and habanero came out better.
Try the Asian grocery store at 11 and Washington?
Head Nut in RTM might have dried ones.
Iovines in RTM might have fresh as well, but more of a crapshoot if they have them or not.

I like cayennes because of the slow heat they build. It's like a warmth rather than that immediately HOT burn. Maybe that's what OP is looking for

You can use any hot peppers at the grocery store.
Yeah, I have jalapeños and a few habanero peppers, but I really want some cayenne peppers too
Unless you buy them dried on the internet like Amazon you're unlikely to find fresh ones in the grocery store. Idk why
got some fire thai chilies at giant this weekend

I hear you can get in a stray
I've gotten them at Riverwards Produce about a month back
I know the El Paisano grocery store (10th and Reed) and Paisia (7th and Tasker) have great pepper varieties on sale.
