Tim Hortons coffee lovers, get ready to spend a little more on your favourite morning beverage.
In a media release on Sunday, the coffee and bakehouse announced that it has increased prices for its coffee for the first time in almost three years, attributing the hike to rising coffee bean costs fueled by inflation.
Costing consumers around 1.5 per cent more per cup, Tim Hortons called the increase “more than reasonable,” noting that the price of coffee beans themselves has more than doubled. According to MarketWatch, the price grew from $2.21 CAD to $5.45 per pound over the last three years.
In addition, Statistics Canada reported a 27.9 per cent increase in the price of coffee at grocery stores year over year in August 2025.
This is partly a result of importing coffee from the United States, due to new U.S. tariffs and Canadian countermeasures impacting costs for Canadian retailers. Inclement weather in coffee-producing countries Canada relies on, including Brazil and Vietnam, has also affected coffee prices.
Brazil, the world’s largest coffee exporter, has experienced ongoing hot and dry conditions, with forecasts predicting a return to La Niña weather patterns from October through December.
Before you panic, this amounts to approximately just three cents more per cup at Timmies, and the new pricing is already in effect.
“Our approach to pricing in our restaurants does not reflect any single event, but rather is designed to stay roughly in line with inflation over time while maintaining great value and everyday low prices,” a spokesperson from Tim Hortons stated.
