The Village Cafe in Arroyo Grande, a beloved breakfast and lunch spot since 1968, is facing potential closure due to economic pressures, particularly rising food prices like eggs and bacon. Owner Tammi Price revealed that the price of eggs has drastically increased from $34 to as high as $150 per case over the past year. Contributing factors include reductions in parking availability and residual effects from the COVID-19 pandemic, which altered dining operations and reduced customer traffic, compounding the financial strain on the longstanding establishment.
Tammi Price stated that inflation has tested the diner like never before, with the cost of essential breakfast items soaring, particularly eggs.
Price explained how COVID-19 and the resulting changes to outdoor dining have significantly impacted her cafe's finances, contributing to reduced foot traffic.
