CULTURE: Make It a Double: Sexpresso Steams Up Seattle

Seattle is to coffee like New York to cosmos, Tijuana to tequila, or like the entire state of Texas is to Steel Reserve—an ethno-diuretic association that refuses to go away. That said, while the glory days of Starbucks quickly fade, there's a new coffee trend taking over Seattle's suburbs that offers a different kind of pick-me-up: Sexpresso Bars. Because of the highly competitive cafe culture, coffee-houses like the Sweet Spot Cafe, Best Friend Espresso and Cowgirls Espresso are getting makeovers that come equipped with scantily clad baristas and saucy java concoctions like Wet Dream, Sexual Mix or Erotic Pleasure.

The Sweet Spot not only boasts "Wet T-Shirt Wednesdays," but also features nudie drawings on its cups, topped with lids sealed with (fake) pink-lipsticked kisses.

Well done Washington, well done. You have given new meaning to the phrase, "The best part of waking up..."

it's about time!

Decadence is something I care about, so it's a little saddening to see it surface in such an immature fashion.

Tukwila, Port Orchard, Kenmore, Auburn... NOT Seattle

see, i knew there was a reason i liked Washington state, this is freakin awesome...i've been mulling over the possibility of moving there for a nice change of pace from TX, but unfortunately i don't currently have the means to do so...too many obligations here still....maybe one day, tho....

and it's just a shame i can't stand coffee...but i guess that's what donuts & red bull are for

hey, i don't see anything immature about something like this, as long as the girls are not...well...."immature". but i'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that the employers probably check their ages before even considering them for employment...but then again, i have been known to be wrong....

To anyone not in Washington, EVERY city is Seattle. I once heard CNN refer to Tacoma as a "suburb of Seattle."

Well...I've been thinking about taking a different job within my company in Tukwila...

And you live in Phoenix?

Do it, even if it means you have to live in Tukwila.

I totally drove by that place once.

And by "drove by" I mean "had hot sex behind the dumpster at that place" once.

So, I'm confused, do they not have strip clubs in Washington?

We have strip clubs.

Those poor girls must get awful chilly...

you know, I've lived in NY my whole life and hung out with all sorts of people and I've never seen anyone ever get a cosmo.

that said, this is a pretty genius idea. in an exploitive/sexist/all-American kinda way.

hmmm, makes me want to get a cup of coffee in washington.

...why?

I'm curious as well, especially since you can get a stripper and a steak at the same place where you live, Ngila.

Exactly. I was wondering why I'd never even heard of this phenomenon, let alone encountered it.

OH MY GOD.
MR. MIKE JUDGE'S PREDICTION
FOR AMERICA (IDIOCRACY) IS COMING
TRUE ALREADY. Starbuck's full release espresso
coming up. holy shit.

They're in the Tacoma area too. There's a Cowgirl Espresso near where I used to live in Lakewood, but when they did the lingerie/bikini thing a year ago, the baristas were kindly told to put some damn clothes on.

Wow! "Scantily Dressed!"

Of course, the East Coast already has topless donut shops. Someday you'll get there, west coast.

Whatll we get for ten dollars?

a ten dollar offer can go two ways: either an angry glare, or aids.

Hey, no fair ragging on the A-crop! That's CLASS. Coffee and tits? Just plain smut, if you ask me.

iViva PDX!
