La La Land Kind Cafe is known for bright yellow coffee sleeves with sayings like "Be Kind" and "Just Love Each Other," and in partnership with Disney's merchandise and licensing arm, it's launching its first La La Kids’ Menu.
On the menu, kids will delight in options like Mini Bloom Milk or the Strawberry Banana Slam toast. For four weeks, orders come with Mickey and Friends beverage sleeves, drink stoppers, Be Kind Totebags, and Disney Munchlings toys. And beyond just reveling in the nostalgic experience full of timeless characters, adults get a limited-edition reusable Disney coffee cup with any purchase.
This partnership with the grassroots coffee chain will be supported by Disney’s ongoing TikTok campaign, Travels with Mickey.
