Bikini Barista Trend Sweeping the Pacific Northwest
Speaking lascivious lattes, the Epicurious Epi-Log hips us to bikini baristas in the Pacific Northwest. At shops like Cowgirls Espresso in Washington state, the skimpy togs worn by the female staff members are meant to perk up male customers as much as the caffeine does. Not everyone's happy.

Yes, I have witnessed this phenomenon with my own eyes. Now--I don't want to be insensitive, but I fear I might--but I think that some that I have seen have not been...er...quite ready for bikini season. Certainly not appetizing.

Who cares? Is the coffee any god?

Funny.
I've heard about this a long time ago. The locations are trashy.
The owner's making $$$ but Cowgirls Espresso is a stupid name. Should be called Yippee Ki-Yay Cafe or maybe Hee Haw Coffee Club or Cow Pie's Sugar Shack
LOL!

no, the coffee isn't anything amazing. these places are attached or adjacent to casinos and mainly cater to construction workers in the area. I used to work a couple blocks from two popular stands (down the same road nonetheless) and they were pretty ridiculous. But whatever. Nearly naked people are cool.
