When it comes to making an impact, Honey Greens Cafe in California knows exactly how to capture attention – and hearts. And with their relief campaign supporting victims of the LA Wildfires they’re using Ripples not just to go viral, but to give back.
From Trend-Driven Hype to Meaningful Impact
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.
Using Ripples Drink Prints to Raise Funds for Wildfire Relief
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.”
