Yogurt, milk and café cake prices go up in the first week of November
Maeil Dairies will raise prices on nine yogurt and milk products by 3–8% from November 1, and café chain Pascucci will raise prices on 31 drinks and cakes by an average of 4.9% from November 2. If you buy these items often, compare prices across stores.
## Pascucci: 31 items up 4.9% on average from Nov 2 Café Pascucci announced on its website that it will raise prices on some products by an average of 4.9% from November 2. The 31 items are 20 handcrafted drinks, 7 cake slices and 4 whole cakes. The company cited rising overall costs.

The notice does not say which menu items change or by how much. According to press reports, coffee drinks are not included. The surest way to see new prices is the in-store menu or the app from November 2.
## Maeil Dairies: 9 products up 3–8% from Nov 1 Maeil Dairies has not posted a notice on its website; the details below come from what the company told the press on October 27. From November 1, prices on nine products across four brands will rise in stages, channel by channel. [Related report (Korea Economic Daily, Korean)](https://www.hankyung.com/article/202610276982g)
By brand, Maeil Bio spoonable yogurt and Greek yogurt rise 3–8%, and Sangha Farm organic yogurt, organic milk and antibiotic-free milk rise 6–8%. Easy-to-digest milk (UF and enzyme-treated) rises 4–7%, and Almond Breeze in small and large sizes rises 6–7.6%.
The flagship white milk, Maeil Milk, and drinkable yogurt are not part of this increase. The company cited higher manufacturing costs overall, including raw materials, packaging, labor and utilities.
## Prices change differently by store Because Maeil applies the new prices channel by channel, such as supermarkets, convenience stores and online malls, not every shelf will change on November 1 itself. The same product can cost different amounts depending on the store and promotions.
Neither company has published before-and-after prices for each item, so this article does not include a price table.
## Before you shop If you often buy products such as Sangha Farm or Almond Breeze, note today's price at your usual supermarket or online mall and compare it with receipts after November. Switching stores may make a difference.
Maeil Milk and drinkable yogurt are not in this round, so buying them as usual is not affected by this change. If you visit Pascucci often, check the new prices in the app or on the menu board before ordering from November 2.
