Quincy coffee shop braces for terrif impact, plans to hold off raising prices

QUINCY (WGEM) - The Pour Haus owners in Quincy said their distributers get their coffee beans from Colombia and Guatemala; liquor from Germany and Canada; and syrup for drinks from France.

They said tariffs on these goods will impact their business, but said they don’t plan on raising any prices yet.

“Our hope is to continue to maintain prices as they stand and we hope that if something does need to change, that customers will be responsive to that and understand what that looks like because again, it’s not something that we can control and it will be something that is even outside of our business and other businesses, and so we hope that customers will continue to support the local businesses,” said Jarid Jones, co-owner of The Pour Haus.

Under the proposed terrifs, import duties could reach up to 45% for coffee from Mexico and 10 to 15% for beans from Colombia, Honduras and Guatemala.

“Certainly, imports are going to change what that cost looks like. We have noticed it already and our specialty is the espresso martinis and that’s one of our biggest cocktail hour drinks. There’re two combinations there, one the combination we do for liquor which has increased and then the combination of what we see for our beans as well,” Jones said.
