Beehive Espresso

I asked if they had drip coffee because I usually don't order lattes, she answered "I can make you an Americano" I said it's the same... So the girl ran to the window and said alright then have a nice day with really bad and aggressive attitude and closed the window in my face and told me to leave . I tried to tell her I would like to try a latte but she insisted not to serve me. I would understand if I were a problem. But I was only there for 7 seconds and asked one question about coffee before she refused me service. I will not be spending any money there.

The branding in no way indicates the baristas will be basically naked. My husband and I pulled up and unexpectedly were in such an awkward situation. Her entire outfit were sheer (not a bikini. I saw it all.) and if I had been with the little girls I nanny this would have put me in a really awkward situation with their parents. I just feel people should know and make the decision to go to a place like this rather than being suckered into it.

Coffee is not good; 3 stars. Minus one star for not making it more clear these are lingerie baristas. I got no problem with the girls if that is your thing but they really need to make it obvious this is what you are getting into. Parents swing by these stands with their young kids in car looking for their caffeine fix.

WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!?!?

;-)

Ive read it in the comments 100 times, but I am going to say it again. You NEED to advertise what kind of coffee stand this is to the public, and the baristas need an attitude check. straight up. I say change the name to Queen Bees and put a triple xxx under it so people know what they are about to see.

I have passed this place a few times thinking I wanted to try their coffee sometime! So, my 17 year old sister was in town and we decided to give it a try. We pulled up and a women was standing there in lingerie, and it shocked me (obviously! who wouldn't be shocked seeing a nearly naked women when that is the last thing you expected), and I said "oh my gosh, uhm I did not know that this was one of those places", and keep in mind I was still going to order, why not haha. BUT instead this women says "well you can just go somewhere else then" and shuts the window on us..... like grow up, I wasnt trying to offend you, I was just shocked, for good reason since you guys dont advertise that there will be naked ladies. just sayin

Maybe advertise on the sign that the baristas are skimpy. C'mon. If people like this type of stand, that's fine for them but not when you want to enjoy a cup of coffee and actual good service - expecting a regular coffee stand - only to be face-to-face with a near-naked body. Advertise differently and you won't have such bad reviews. It's so simple.

Their website lists Americano 16oz for 3.50 whereas when they charge you it turns out to be 3x .. 9.00 and staff explains that's tax plus charges ... beware of the scam!! Receipt would simply say "custom amount"

This is a bikini barista. Most of them are wearing just that in the day, and get more risque in the evening. Theyre very nice and the coffee is quite good. Easy place to stop while commuting to the 405 from Bothell or Kenmore. Fun place to get funny reactions from friends visiting from places in the country that dont have bikini baristas.

Lovely lingerie baristas in the same parking lot as seaweed dispensary! Yes please! Love this concept and experience

Couldn't figure out what was taking so long with the car ahead of me until the barista stepped into the window in nothing but her bra and undies to give the guy a closer beaver shot. I wasn't about to get coffee there after seeing that. I prefer my coffee without some tramps pubes in it. They should be shut down.

Traveling for work and pulled of the road to grab some tea with honey for my throat. When I got to the window the woman working was clothed and helping a younger woman. When she looked over at me, a male, she immediately de-robed into only lingerie. I was so caught off guard, but it's the progressive PNW so it makes sense. I'm a married a man so I felt a bit awkward, but it is what it is. The woman was nice but not personable. I can image why. they didn't have chamomile or peppermint tea so I went with English Breakfast. I mainly wanted the tea for the honey, which she happened to forget.

Here are some of the problems I see with Beehive Espresso:

- Be more forward with your business model. Try not to surprise people. Maybe change the business name to Girls In Lingerie Espresso. Something creative but similar that gets the message across.

- Be happy and friendly! Learn from Dutch Bros.

- The employee only de-robed for me, a male. Maybe women are stopping there because they want a lingerie show too. Be equal and fair.

I would prefer business like this didn't exist, but if they are the should at least be doing it well. In our society, especially in the PNW, I could see this business taking off if managed well.
