Sweet-toothed ravers are also being asked to cough up £5 for raspberry and strawberry Slushies and £4.50 for fruit frozen lollies.
It comes after Glasto fans slammed the "ridiculous" price of food bought from stalls on Friday.
A TikTokker known as robbie.reviews sparked debate on social media after posting a clip of himself eating some French toast he'd bought.
The sweet breakfast option with maple syrup costed £6 and came with three half slices of toast.
But fellow TikTok users were quick to point out that meant the stall was charging £2 for half a slice of toast.
"£2 for half a slice of toast, festivals are wild," one said.
Another said: "That's Glastonbury for ya...", however, another argued that "anything under £10 is ok" at the festival.
Elsewhere at the festival, food trucks have been spotted selling loaded fries for £14 and Mac and Cheese for up to £16.
Punters have also been faced with paying up to 40p extra for a pint at this year's festival.
Pints of draught cider and beer cost from £6.95 to £7.20, up from £6.75 last year.

A double shot of a spirit with a mixer is £13.
Soft drinks like Cola Cola, Lemonade and Apple juice are the same price as last year, costing £3.
The full on-site bar list was shared online, leaving some fans gobsmacked at the price hike from 2024.
Some branded the prices "absolutely disgusting" while others were keen to be more positive.
One said: "To be fair, at least at Glasto you can take your own alcohol in!"
Glastonbury has been hit with controversy this year following Kneecap leading chants of "free Palestine" during their performance yesterday.

Travel industry applauds Sun investigation into celeb ‘get rich' scheme pushed by Strictly star… while agents protest
Vicky's Vaycays has hundreds of women in the 'team' but our investigation shows that signing up is a risky business for most CHECK OUT Travel industry applauds Sun investigation into celeb 'get rich' scheme pushed by Strictly star… while agents protest Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) INDEPENDENT travel agency, InteleTravel, is answering questions about their business practices after The Sun's investigation shined a light on the true cost of joining their organisation to sell travel. With glamorous celebrities like Strictly's Vicky Pattison and TOWIE's Jess Wright promoting the scheme on their huge social platforms, it was revealed they could be earning over £200,000 as fans sign up to the scheme. 5 InteleTravel is answering questions about their business practices after The Sun's investigation Credit: Instagram 5 Real Housewives of Cheshire's Tanya Bardsley also promotes the holiday company Credit: Instagram However, our report showed that almost 90 per cent of people don't make a single penny working as an Independent Travel Agent (ITA) - with many ending up out of pocket. Those selling travel through the Vicky's Vacay team will almost certainly have signed up with recruitment firm, PlaNet Marketing, who are a separate company to InteleTravel. Even though they are different companies, The Sun could find no way of joining InteleTravel without signing up to PlaNet Marketing and paying an initial fee of £140 and then £30 per month thereafter. Industry experts TTG, have reported that since The Sun called for clarity on how many Brits are affected negatively by joining the scheme, InteleTravel is now reviewing its partnership with the US-headquartered company that recruits agents on its behalf. Read more on travel DOUBLE AGENTS How travel firm flogged by stars like Vicky Pattison leaves mums losing £100s In our report, we looked at how likely it is for everyday women and fans of these glamourous celebrities to earn money selling holidays to their friends and family for a small commission. Social media messaging flaunting a jet-set lifestyle and ability to 'be your own boss' is rife on platforms like Instagram. And it's not just the celebrities who are at it. Many ITAs who say they make 'big money' from selling travel are, in fact, doing so with an elaborate recreruitment downline. This means anyone they sign up to their 'team' must pay them a commission, as well as the commission to InteleTravel - an ABTA-approved travel agency - on anything they go on to sell. InteleTravel came under criticism as recruiters for the network, appear to approach people, most-often women and mums, on social media. Avoid being ripped off by car hire companies with these four top tips Subtle messaging, which some women who spoke to The Sun allege they are trained for, is used to lure new agents in by telling them a glamorous lifestyle can be achieved while on their family holiday. It's heavily implied that a huge salary can be achieved while being a full-time mum or working in another job. A recruiter told our reporter that she earned £27,000 alongside her full time job in a different sector. Tricia Handley-Hughes, InteleTravel's UK and Ireland managing director, insisted the agency's partnership with PlanNet Marketing had 'not run its course' but added: "discussions need to take place". 5 Jess Wright is another celeb who has become the face of InteleTravel Credit: Instagram 5 Jess Wright showed off her team on an Instagram post aimed at encouraging more women to sign up Credit: Instagram Senior industry agents also reacted to the story, calling it 'deeply concerning'. In a article published by trade publication, Travel Weekly, they raised concerns about InteleTravel's recruitment methods and about the impact of the story on the professional reputation of other agents in the sector. Advantage Travel Partnership chief executive Julia Lo Bue-Said said: 'It's important to remember the vast majority of travel agents across the UK are highly professional and trustworthy". 'Being a travel agent is not a hobby. It should never be treated as a casual side hustle to make some extra money". While marketing consultant Steve Dunne, chief executive of Digital Drums, said such stories 'could push back the reputation of the travel agents a generation'. A number of InteleTravel agents have reacted to our report in defence of InteleTravel. They were keen to tell their followers that agents can 'just sell holidays' and do not have to sign up to be part of the business responsible for the recruitment of other agents. James Pirie-Warsop said: 'I've been with Intele for about two or three years and I'm glad I did [join them]. Yes, there's a multi-level marketing side, but you don't have to do it". Whilst no-one is forced to recruit a 'dream team of travel agents' like Vicky and Jess, official data from the Direct Selling Association reveals that 63 per cent of agents in the sector do go on to build a 'team'. InteleTravel's own figures may differ from the UK wide average, but when asked directlt by The Sun, they declined to comment on the amount their agents earn. Read our full InteleTravel report here.
