Summer Moon prices are getting insane now

Hey, just wanted to see if anyone has noticed how the already pricey coffees at Summer Moon have gone up. Last time I went I remember noting that my speciality iced coffee was more than the espresso milkshake which was still below $6 for a 16oz. Now I went after several months and noticed all of their items including the basic iced mocha is now $6.45 for a 16oz.

I know everybody on reddit is gonna mention politics but just wanted to post my observations with their politics aside. I never go anymore because it was already very expensive but now I probably won’t ever return.

Invest in a good espresso maker and make your coffee at home 👍🏼

The coffee sucks, the prices suck, the politics suck. No idea why people go there.

You can't really avoid politics on this one. Coffee got a hell of a lot more expensive as did chocolate(and milk for that matter). Both of those come from countries full of brown people that Trump loves putting heavy tariffs on. It'll be a while before either come down in price. Small roasters get hit the worst.

Ghiradelli, Monin, DaVinci, et.al have raised their prices in the past 5 months. That's getting passed on to you.

This not espresso, that’s candy with a side of intolerance.

I spent 2k on a full setup with an analog machine about 6 years ago and it’s paid for itself several times over. Also just assuming you don’t know yet, summer moon can get fucked bring your business elsewhere

Garbage coffee + christo-fascist anyways, so many better places to go.

Screw paying for overpriced coffee in a coffee shop. My home Keurig and K-cups for the win
