Food and drink prices continued to rise in November, with restaurant menu items like coffee, burritos, and burgers increasing faster than the overall inflation rate, according to Toast.

Cold brew prices rose 4.5% year over year, while regular coffee, burritos, and burgers each climbed about 3%.

Despite high costs, interest in beef surged in 2025 as the high-protein trend boosted home cooking, though shoppers favored cheaper cuts like chuck roast and ground beef over premium steaks.

Fetch data also showed strong growth in sales of protein-focused packaged foods such as cereal, granola, and pasta, Fortune has reported.

Still, inflation is straining household budgets, with about two-thirds of shoppers saying they struggle to afford groceries and three-quarters cutting back on other spending, especially entertainment, travel, and dining out.
