Café Gratitude’s $100 Happy Healthy Meal Comes with a Labubu
Laura McQuarrie — August 21, 2025 — Lifestyle
Café Gratitude’s $100 Happy Healthy Meal is a new menu item that pairs a vegan double cheeseburger and hand-cut fries with a can of Juni sparkling tea, and a Labubu. Like a grown-up Happy Meal, this new offering from the Los Angeles-based café taps into the wild rise in popularity of the monstrous plush collectibles, all while appealing to health-conscious kidults.
While the included Pop Mart-authenticated Big Into Energy Blind Box with a coveted figurine is a large draw for ordering the Happy Healthy Meal, it also shares other surprises, like a special Double-Double Cheeseburger that's not on the regular menu. This plant-powered burger features a black bean patty, Violife cheddar, pickles, salad, and Gratitude Special Sauce, and is served with a side of organic ketchup.
