They used to be common around here in the Seattle area. Most of them were brothels with an occasional real girl in a bikini serving you out of a coffee shack in a parking lot. Is this not common?
They’re still very common over on the east side of the state, but they lose the pretense of “bikini” and go straight to “lingerie.” I think twice a week they even exchange a standard lingerie top for pasties.
Its a really weird variant of a strip bar. It kind of makes the prostitution angle of stripping more difficult because of the logistics of the cars and the coffee huts. No dark corners like strip bars as they are just tiny drive thru buildings. In sure shit still happens, but less than usual. Likely safer for the sex workers too.
The window is always turned away from the road, likely by law.
Oddly, its almost a puritanical strip club where people pay $20 for a coffee and 5 minutes of attention from a stripper. It’s like if hooters was more blatantly a strip club, but wouldn’t commit to it.
As open as i am with sexuality and how this sounds awesome on paper, I don’t even think I could bring myself to stopping by one of these just out of anxiety. It’s just not the mindset i want to be in when getting something as simple as a coffee lol.
I remember they were trying to open some in the SF East Bay, and some people were objecting. I was thinking if they want to serve coffee in a bikini, what’s the big deal.
I’ve never seen anything even remotely like it aside from maybe hooters if you count that. I’m not necessarily against it but it definitely seems like a weird aspect to add to your 6 AM coffee order.

Wow, the west coast is wild. I’ve never seen anything remotely like that
Portland, Oregon has more strip clubs per capita than any city is the US. It is currently around 1 for every 11,800 residents. https://priceonomics.com/why-does-portland-have-so-many-strip-clubs/
I thought Tampa (or Clearwater?) was the “stripper capital” of the US.

I think the pretense of bikini was left by the wayside almost immediately when these types of coffee stands came around haha

I didn’t know they were fronts for brothels.

They’re still pretty common in the Seattle metro area. My parents are within a stone’s throw of two of them.
That first link had Ad Herpes, and it was flaring up hard.

If you’re an adult without herpes then you haven’t lived
Used to be? They’re still all over my dude.

I thought they were more common than they are apparently!
