“Monsters at Work” Laffateria Takes Over Lemonade Restaurant Locations in California July 1st-4th

Monstropolis is taking over Lemonade restaurants in California starting July 1st and we got a first look at this limited-time makeover. Temporarily known as the Monsters at Work Laffateria, the restaurants are serving themed menu items in addition to featuring decor from the Disney+ series, which premieres July 7th.

The overlay immediately brings you into the monster world, with wraps on all the windows featuring characters from the show. The main character Tylor greets you from the main entrance, along with his energetic colleague Val.

Mike and Sulley are very much part of the series and are also featured in the themed experience.

“Stalk this way” to grab a tray.

Paper inserts remind you that this isn’t your typical Lemonade experience.

All of the signature healthy menu items are readily available, but some have been given the Monstropolis treatment like Laugh-ocado & Hairy Tomato Salad, Pun-apple Chicken & Scream Beans, and a Raspberry Mint Lemon(ster)ade.

These items are easy to spot, with special Monsters at Work branded cards.

Team members are in the spirit, wearing special Laffateria shirts and monster horns.

By the way, you can bring home your very own pair of horns and a Monsters, Inc. employee ID lanyard, plus a sticker sheet at no additional charge while supplies last.

A wrap on the cups also keeps you feeling like you’re still in Monstropolis after receiving your food.

I really enjoyed the theming and the food at Lemonade. You can find a full list of locations below. The Monsters at Work takeover will run from July 1st to the 4th.
