What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Sketch Coffee and Art announced price changes via Instagram on October 28, 2026. Despite rising inflation and interest rates, the cafe lowered prices instead of increasing them. The owner stated this choice allowed the business to remain open and retain three jobs, though coffee prices remained unchanged as the cafe absorbed wholesale increases.
