If you’re a Starbucks fan, you can expect to pay a little more for your coffee next week. On July 12th, the company plans to increase prices.


Starbucks announced the change after they prematurely rolled out the increase, accidentally charging some customers more in advance of the rollout. Here’s what they said in a press release:

On July 12, Starbucks is planning a small price increase on select beverages. Unfortunately, that price adjustment was prematurely entered into the point of sale systems in our U.S. company-operated stores. As a result, some customers were charged incorrectly. The maximum any customer could have been overcharged is 30 cents per beverage. The error has been corrected and we sincerely apologize to our customers for the inconvenience. If a customer believes this mistake impacted the price of their beverage, we encourage them to please contact Starbucks Customer Service at 1-800-782-7282, and we will gladly make this right.


They don’t specify which drinks will be more expensive, and they don’t specify the amount, either, but based on the error, we can probably expect an increase of up to 30 cents. Last year, they increased prices between 5 and 20 cents.
