US Coffee Prices Rise as Tariffs and Supply Chain Adjustments Take Effect

Coffee shops across the country are raising prices due to President Trump's 10% tariff on imported coffee, with industry leaders warning of long-term market instability.

The 10% tariff on imported coffee remains in effect despite a 90-day pause on other reciprocal tariffs announced earlier this week.
Over 99% of the coffee consumed in the United States is imported, making the market particularly vulnerable to tariff policies.
Coffee shops, including specialty cafés like The Crown in Oakland, California, have started increasing prices to offset rising costs from tariffs.
Adverse weather conditions in major coffee-producing countries like Brazil and Vietnam are further tightening supply and exacerbating market volatility.
Industry leaders caution that without swift policy resolution in Washington, higher coffee prices and supply chain disruptions could become a long-term issue for consumers and businesses alike.
