Bikini Coffee Now Open

According to KGW, Bikini Coffee hasopened. “It’s downtown in the former Caplan Sports World location at 520 SW 5th Ave”. I would write more, but I just got overwhelmed by the crush of men rushing out the door for their afternoon break.

    I love how everyone said it was “all about the coffee”.

    Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Did you notice how the one bikini-clad barista who spoke on camera has one of the most grating, whiny-nasal voices ever?

    Given what those girls were wearing they’ll be spending a fortune this winter keeping the place heated. And consider the safety issues of handling all the blazing hot coffee clad in a bikini top and short shorts. Ow.

      i loved watching the news report on this new business last night, as the gentleman at the counter tried to
      order and take his coffee drink from the ‘very well endowed’ young woman, without appearing to stare
      with mouth hanging open and drool running down his chin too awfully obviously.
      and yes, the grating nasally awful voice of the barista they had speak on the report was quite irritating, she should probably be quiet, she’s much prettier if she doesnt talk. but its all good fun i think.
      tee hee.
      i love it. :)

      I think that’s called a “baby doll” voice. Drives me crazy to

    What’s the big deal? Coming from warmer climates, a bikini is just as common as a T-shirt. Could it be the fact that NW women are typically wrapped up in layers almost year round and are afraid to show a little skin –or should I say “blubber” I now have a choice between a bikini-clad barista making my coffee or some cow, well the decision is not very hard. It’s NOT all about the coffee, it’s about the eye candy. Something that is SEVERELY lacking in this geographical area.

    Safety issues? As if clothing is impenetrable to boiling water.

    • Food Dude says:

      Since you are from a different area, you might not understand – we just got skirts above the knee a few years ago ;)

    • reflexblue says:

      jeez, is McG short for McGrumpy?

      • Food Dude says:

        Maybe we should put him naked behind an espresso machine and see if he might rather be wearing a few clothes the next time. On the other hand, McG is probably Billy Wilson or Adam from Coffeehouse NW, or Duane from Stumptown. They have to feel terribly threatened; who wants to see them in a bikini? ;)

      • lizbethpdx says:

        maybe its short for ‘McG-oing back to California where i belong’. ;’)
        i wish people who move here and then dont like it woule go ahead and move on. they bring down our ‘joy-joy’ level we’ve been used to for so many decades. :) gee, i hope it rains.

    Eye candy is hardly lacking in this city. To say nothing of exposed female flesh.

  4. DinahDavis says:

    So if women aren’t exposing their breast implants in a bikini whilst serving coffee, we’re cows?

    Not very nice, McG, and bordering on misogyny. (blubber?)

    Having once made the mistake of cooking while wearing minimal clothing, (OK, I was naked, at home) I’ve learned to ALWAYS keep at least the front of my body covered since then. Yes, an apron WILL protect you from hot fluids, spattering grease, sharp implements, searingly hot dishes, etc.

    Really, McG, given your extremely negative attitude about the charms of we gals here in the NW, please do us all a favor, and go far, far away.

    So where’s the equal time for us ladie? When are we going to get a little skin from the guys? Where are the Chippendale’s dudes in their bikinis? Now that could be a health hazard for the well-endowed – ow! ha ha

    If we’re going to get disgusting (what are the health laws about all that exposed skin next to food?), let’s keep it equal – I want my coffee from a smiling guy in a bikini!

    • Food Dude says:

      I’ve heard rumors that Northwest Coffeehouse is considering doing bikini day ;)

    • If you drive by my house at 7:30 am on weekdays you are likely to spy me dumping a day old coffee filter into the trash, careful not to spill any grounds into the front flap of my tighty whities. If I had been drinking the night before, there’s good chance I might be going commando as well.
