Honey Greens Cafe Goes Viral—Again—With Coffee for a Cause

Honey Greens Cafe first made waves with their Sonny Angel latte art campaign, tapping into a viral TikTok trend and turning it into a major business win. They offered six limited-edition prints of the beloved collectible figures on top of their signature cloud foam drinks, charging an extra $2 per print. The response? Overwhelming.

Hundreds of thousands of views, endless social media shares, and a completely sold-out menu that forced the café to close early just to restock. The combination of a hyper-relevant trend, premium upsells, and Ripples drink art created the perfect storm of demand.

Now, they’re taking that same eye-catching, engagement-driving strategy and channeling it toward something even bigger—helping their community.

After devastating wildfires tore through Los Angeles in early 2025, Honey Greens Cafe didn’t just sit back—they took action. Their new “Fire Fundraiser” campaign uses printed latte art to raise funds for wildfire victims and injured animals.

Customers can order an iced drink with a custom wildfire relief design, choosing from four cloud foam flavors. For every $5 drink print sold, $3 is donated. 

In their own words:
“Los Angeles, our city, we love you and everyone that makes it what it is. We created latte art to help raise funds for those affected by the January 7th fires—and we have no plans of ending this fundraiser anytime soon.”

Honey Greens Cafe is proof that Ripples isn’t just about making drinks look good—it’s a tool for engagement, storytelling, and community impact. Their strategy offers a repeatable blueprint for any business looking to combine viral marketing with meaningful action:

✔ Tap Into Trends: Their Sonny Angel latte art campaign took off because it aligned with an already-huge TikTok movement. Staying ahead of viral moments pays off.

✔ Create a Must-Try Menu Item: They don’t  just serve printed drinks— Honey Greens Cafe makes them limited-edition, themed, and tied to a larger experience.

✔ Make It Shareable: Their eye-catching designs get people posting, tagging, and driving organic traffic.

✔ Use Your Platform for Good: The wildfire fundraiser is a perfect example of using Ripples for more than just buzz—it’s about impact. Customers want to support businesses that give back, and this campaign gives them an easy way to do that while enjoying something special.

From viral latte art to community-driven campaigns, Honey Greens Cafe continues to prove that when drinks become experiences, everyone wins. They’ve mastered the art of the upsell, the power of shareability, and the heart of community engagement.

And they’re not slowing down anytime soon.
