Kia ora neighbours,

Industry experts say we should be preparing to pay more for our barista coffees in order keep local cafes alive, Stuff reports.

While the average price of a regular coffee is between $4.50 and $5, the cost of running a cafe has increased exponentially due to rising rents, wages, and milk prices. Former cafe owner Richard Corney says taking these into account, a fair price for a coffee is closer to $6.50 to $7.

"In the New Year, people have to be prepared to pay up to $7.20 for a large flat white, and $20 for a plate of brunch food. If you’re not, I completely understand, but we will see the demise of the hospitality sector."

How much are you willing to pay for your morning coffee? Share your thoughts below and don't forget to type NFP if you don't want your comment featured in the conversations section of the Whangārei Leader.

So, it's D.I.Y ... where you’re welcome to take a heart or star card home, write a name or message in remembrance of someone special, and then hang it on your own Christmas tree.

➡ Donations to support hospice care for local people with a terminal illness can be made via the donation box or 'self-service' eftpos machine by each Memory Tree, which you'll find at the entrances/exits at Mitre 10 MEGA, New World Regent, PAK’nSAVE, and Countdown Tikipunga.

We appreciate the ongoing support of these business for hosting our trees, as well as Ecosse Business Systems for lending us the eftpos machines, and to Morris & Morris Funerals which will donate $1 for every $2 from the public. Thank you! 😊 Ecosse Business Systems Morris and Morris Funerals
