Ready to pay more for Starbucks coffee?

Hey loyal Starbucks customer, ready to fork out more for that “tall” latte? Well, ready or not, be prepared to do so as the Seattle coffee chain announced this week that select areas of the county, including metro Atlanta, will see menu prices increase by about one percent overall.

The world's biggest coffee chain indicated that its pricing decisions are based on many factors, not just the price of java.

Smyrna-Vinings has several Starbucks, including locations at Cumberland Mall, on Cobb Parkway, on Cumberland Parkway and in the West Village. So what’s your take on this?

Will Starbucks continue to keep you as a loyal customer? Or maybe you’ll switch and give local favs Rev Coffee and Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee Company a try?

Or maybe you simply don’t need that morning cup of joe and could care less? Let us know!
