The company's chief executive Roisin Currie said the price increases would kick in from Thursday.
She said the action was being taken in response to increased staffing costs, including the impact of an unexpected £20m increase in the amount it pays in employer National Insurance as a result of last year's Budget.
Fortunately for sausage roll enthusiasts, the arguably most iconic food item will be unaffected in this round of price hikes - having already increased to £1.30 earlier this year.
It will be the third time this year that the baker has raised prices, echoing a wider trend on the UK's high street.
The price of a two-item breakfast deal will rise from £2.95 to £3.15.
The three-item breakfast deal will also go up 20p, from £3.95 to £4.15.
The empire biscuit will also be 5p more expensive.
