The Sunday brunch service is suffering 🍳
requiring that all eggs sold in grocery stores and produced on Colorado farms be cage-free, which took effect on Jan. 1.
But it’s not just grocery shoppers who are scrambling to buy eggs: breakfast spots, ramen joints and bakeries around town are facing a steep increase in their weekly orders. Some of them are absorbing the cost, while others are raising menu prices., which just started its Sunday brunch service last week on Jan. 8. Lillian Cho, co-owner of the French restaurant and bakery in LoHi, said they were paying around $60 for a case of 15 dozen eggs, but that has since gone up to $100.
“This just kind of came as a shock a week and a half ago when we saw prices increase that much,” Lillian said. “ I’m not sure how much consumers know what’s going on, so it’s difficult for us to raise prices because we’re already perceived as an expensive restaurant, and if we raise prices it could deter guests from coming in and trying our food.”Osaka Ramen is raising its menu prices by $1, due to the ongoing egg shortage.
“Once it levels back off again, we will probably drop our prices again,” Osaka said. “We don’t want to gouge our customers, but it’s hard for us to take that hit without it reflecting in end-user cost.”has also raised prices at all seven locations due to rising supply costs, particularly eggs. Owner Fletcher Richards said the cost of eggs has gone up 50% for the New Orleans-inspired breakfast joint.
“It’s just another spike in the costs, and another dagger in the heart of people trying to run their small businesses,” Richards said. “We’re not a big-shot outfit; we’re homegrown and have had the same egg supplier for the whole 40 years we’ve been open. It’s just been one guy, whose family used to have an egg farm, but he’s getting priced out of business, so we have to shop around a lot for our prices just to break even.
