Your next vanilla latte at Paris Baguette is about to cost a little more. The South Korean bakery chain said on Monday that it will raise the prices of 10 made-to-order drinks by an average of 2.7% from November 16.

The drinks affected are the café mocha, caramel macchiato, vanilla latte, Mungyeong omija ade (a berry-based soft drink), Sicilian lemon ade, peach iced tea and four Teatra teas: rooibos, Hadong green tea, Earl Grey and mint.

The good news for coffee regulars: the Americano and the café latte are not on the list.

The company says rising raw material costs and other expenses forced the adjustment.

This is the second increase in a few months. In August, Paris Baguette raised the prices of 127 items, 86 breads and 41 cakes and desserts, by an average of 5.0%. This time the hike is smaller and limited to drinks, but it adds to the steady creep of bakery prices.
