Miami Heat player Jimmy Butler will face his former team, the Golden State Warriors, on Tuesday. Adding a bit of playful rivalry to the matchup, Butler`s coffee shop in Miami is jokingly increasing prices for Warriors employees.
Butler, previously a forward for the Miami Heat, launched the first physical store for his coffee brand, `Big Face Coffee,` in Miami`s design district in December.
This past Sunday, Butler shared a sign on his Instagram story announcing that Warriors employees would face higher charges for coffee at his shop. Typically, coffee prices at Big Face Coffee range from $4 to $10 per drink, according to their Yelp menu.
Butler was traded to the Warriors at the NBA trade deadline last month following a trade request from the Heat. Before the trade, the six-time All-Star had been suspended by Miami three times.
Butler`s `Big Face Coffee` brand originated in 2020 during the NBA Bubble. He famously charged $20 per cup for his French press coffee, regardless of size or type.
This concept evolved into the physical store, which officially opened on December 6, 2024.
Earlier this month, Butler shared with NBC News, “It`s surreal because this is something else I wanted to do, and I went and made it happen. That`s the story for me. I had a dream, I worked on it, and then one day, bam, here we are with a coffee shop.”
In the 19 games he`s played for the Warriors this season, Butler has averaged 17.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 6.1 assists.
