Both Dutch Bros (BROS) and Starbucks (SBUX) are hopeful that coffee prices will see some relief soon as more supply comes in from Brazil and Vietnam.

“We believe that coffee prices, although incredibly high right now, are likely something that will be somewhat temporary, and so [we] feel comfortable absorbing that for our customers while we’re hopefully waiting for those coffee prices to come down a little bit,” Dutch Bros CEO Christine Barone told Yahoo Finance. The restaurant chain raised prices by 1.5% at the start of the year and will continue to raise prices at the same cadence in the second quarter.

Starbucks CFO Cathy Smith said the team expects “tariff and coffee pressures to moderate in the back half of fiscal 2026.”

Starbucks did not comment on raising prices for consumers in the near term to offset the pressure, but said the company is leaning into its value proposition.

Tomato prices go shockingly higher

If you’re looking for some fresh fruit or vegetables at your local grocery store, that’ll cost more too. Fruit and vegetable prices were up 6.1% over the past 12 months.

Tomato prices surged 40% in April from the year before. Wells Fargo agricultural economist Michael Swanson noted that cold weather in Florida led to a smaller supply.

Tomato producers are “able to take advantage of that missing supply to price up, because tomatoes are pretty inelastic,” Swanson said. “You know, when you go to your fast food [restaurant] to get your sandwich, or whatever, you expect tomatoes on it, regardless of price.”

Swanson added that the price spike for tomatoes may be short-lived, however, as that pricing is seasonal and “goes up like a rocket, falls like a stone.”

Some fruit prices, on the other hand, may go even higher. Pineapple producer Fresh Del Monte Produce is warning of even higher prices later this year.

CEO Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh said the conflict in the Middle East led to “meaningful shock” across food production, energy, fertilizers, packaging, and transportation. He added that, no matter the outcome, the ripple effect leading to higher grocery prices is already well underway.

“There is no part of agriculture that is not energy dependent, from inputs to packaging to transportation,” Abu-Ghazaleh told investors. “In crops like pineapples, for instance, where production cycles extend to approximately 18 months, the inputs being deployed today will be reflected in cost and pricing later this year.”
