Bikini Baristas Now Serving

I'm on Hawthorne Blvd just south of 190th Street in Torrance when I spot Bikini Espresso, a new drive-through coffee shop.

Alongside their wall is a colorful spray painting of a bikini blonde dipped in a mug with the words "Bikini Espress-Oh!"

A very well-endowed girl wearing a bikini and Hawaiian lei slides open the drive-thru window, smiles and flirtatiously asks, "How can I help you?"

I'll have your "Beach Blonde" please.

For the next 2 minutes my barista danced, sang and swayed while making my drink.

Hmm. This is weird. Getting my coffee with a tease. I'll call it Coffee Entertainment.

She returns to the windows and asks, "Would you like whipped cream with her? It's really delicious." But of course I will!

"That'll be $3.77 please," and I happily pay her $5 and tell her to keep the tip.

"Thanks. Come back again. Bring your friends."
