Beehive Espresso

Surprise! It’s a bikini coffee place.
But the barista was nice and made totally normal barista small talk, the coffee was fine, and I was back on the road in seconds.
The price for a 16oz drip was about the same as Starbucks, too. Funny.

Seriously, ladies who work here, or random woman with no connection, or whoever the hell you all are.
Please stop sending your stupid compliments and messages about this review.
I’m not going to remove it, it remains accurate to the date it was written. I don’t give a flying fucking squirrel it’s still in business – i seriously don’t.
If you’re so pissed off that you don’t get many top reviews and almost zero current ones, take it up with the slackjawed yokels drooling on your bits every morning.
Surely you must have better things to do with your time than this. Proper pastie application or garter straightening, perhaps.
I don’t care you’re half naked. I like staring at nice tits as much as the next person.
I cared, over 4 fucking years ago, that people I cared about lost their jobs and the pantless idiot who made my drink completely fucked it up while talking shit about the «creepers» who surmise your customer base.
Shitty coffee with no class won’t get my business no matter what you wear.
kthbai.

The worst espresso I have ever had.

I went to this «adult coffee hut» with a friend who was visiting Seattle. I was embarrassed when the very unattractive girl who was wearing next to nothing served us… Quantity over Quality at this place!!!

Went there today, I’m shocked that a owner of a business would risk their employee’s safety. First, she was in a bikini bra and lace VERY VERY BRIEF bottoms. (underwear not bathing suit). Just a few feet away is a tree forest area, very large windows, and only 1 barrista on duty. What kind of safety is that? This is absolutely NOT CHILD FRIENDLY. We didn’t know that this was more X rated. No signs would indicate. So we women had no idea. We were all struck with the same view that the owner is a jerk who would set up an obvious sexual coffee shop. With no security.

My brother was in town to visit and he had heard stories about bikini baristas. So we went… Okay yes awkward bringing your brother to a coffee place where the purpose is to appreciate the baristas’ fine work attire. That is not the purpose of this review!
When you drive up to the window you are slightly above the knee’s height giving you a wonderful upward angle to view the coffee prep… obviously. The barista was very friendly making small chat with my brother (who, by the way, was in the driver’s seat!) She looked cute nothing terribly vulgar… but I wouldn’t bring your kid here either. As far as what we ordered (if that even matters to you), we got an iced americano which was really burnt coffee with ice. Terrible. But i guess you don’t really come here for the coffee. If you are interested, as was my bro, they have a wonderful FB page with photos of all the baristas that work there. Interestingly enough, they have several locations not just this one in bothell.
Overall I only gave it two stars because the coffee was so awful and not because there were women half naked serving coffee (they would have gotten a 3 star). I’m not a hater. :)

This business has more than one problems. Its more like a strip tease then a coffee stand for one and second of all the location is bothell were they obviously do NOT belong. I drove by on the opposite side of the street and out of the corner of my eye there was a hot pink thong on a girl with a horrible body that for some reason had the sliding door wide open. I doubt she got many customers, and pray she closed the damn door so no one else had to see what I unfortunately drove by.

Buyer beware. This is a really cute building with a bee motif and beehive looking building in a great location. Looks like a great place to take your kids for a hot cocoa. IT IS NOT. It has nearly naked baristas and no indication of this until you are at the window looking at the barista. I don’t have a problem with these kind of stands in principal but PLEASE PLEASE make it very clear that this is what the coffee stand has to offer so my kids and I can go to another stand.

I am basing my review based solely on coffee I received. I did not get what I ordered, which was a twelve ounce, double hazelnut latte at 130. My coffee was very hot, which I was not expecting, so I burned my mouth. Unfortunately, I was still able to taste the very earthy and poorly pulled double shot of coffee. In fact, I’m not entirely sure that my shot wasn’t just pulled through my husband’s old grounds. His double breve was much better pulled than my latte.
The reason that my shot could have been pulled poorly might be because the poor barista was a bit surprised that both my husband and I pulled up obviously didn’t know what we were getting ourselves into. Apparently, this was a stripper coffee drive through. My husband I were greeted by the barista’s bare buttocks as she was wearing nothing but a bra and a pair of stretch lace thong panties.
I have nothing against bikini baristas, or even stripper baristas, unfortunately, the coffee was just terrible.

hot! hot! hot! love this place!

My transformation into a south Snohomish County resident is complete. I have purchased coffee from a stripper coffee place. Yes, I realize that this particular coffee place is in King County. But in a way, that allowed me to keep a foot in both worlds while I gingerly tested the waters of the espresso & cheesecake harbor.
I have to say (and I have witnesses) that I did not realize what I was in for. You pull up and there’s this weird sliding glass door there, and you feel like you’ve parked on the patio and gotten way too close to the house. And you expect to see a bunch of equipment and storage there – you know, ingredients, cash register, and so on, but, instead, there’s just open floor. Next to a big patio door, where the window should be.
So I start to say «this doesn’t even really look like a coffee place, but the sign said th… guh. Seriously?» Yeah, full on lingerie outfit. Lots of tattoos showing, butt cheeks hanging out. Is there a cover charge? Is there a two drink minimum? Is there a VIP mocha lounge?
She was nice. She was friendly. She seemed to understand that some people pull in and are completely startled by what they’ve just involved themselves in, and she tried to make normal-​sounding small talk. Which is probably not as easy as you might think when you’re facing a carload of suddenly-​disoriented folk. Who have all their clothes on. And you’re wearing a suit of tanner. But she knew the menu. And had all her teeth. At least the front ones.
I ordered the 2-​shot Americano, which cost $ 3, and was a little on the funky/​earthy side. That’s not really my favorite flavor profile for coffee, tbph. But that’s just the coffee they use, I am thinking, not a wardrobe malfunction. I honestly think she must have done everything right as far as prepping the coffee. And I had stripper coffee jokes flowing for the entire rest of the day. She provided more than just caffeine, you see. There’s comedy in every cup at a place like this.
I’ve been really bored with my truck lately. It gets good milage but it has no personality, doesn’t stand out at all. Given that I just visited a stripper coffee stand on a super-​busy road a few miles from work, I couldn’t be happier with how nondescript my rig is. And thank god there was no line. I was just in and out.
So to speak.

Bikinis are great, but the coffee was overpriced and not that great.

The bikinaristas here are hot, pirched high on 5″ f-​me pumps that accentuate their finey hineys. And isn’t that what good coffee is all about?
A nice guy stop when you want a brew-​ha-​ha.

Whoa. I’ve been here before for coffee. And like all espresso huts, the girls were always cute and friendly. But today, I pull up and the barista was nearly naked. I felt embarrassed so I just stared straight ahead. I felt like I had accidentally walked in on a girl while she was changing. She tried to make small talk with me but I was too embarrassed to chit chat. I got my coffee and sped off in confusion.
The coffee was good.

Since I wrote that last review, the establishment has installed full length windows.

soooooo this stand seriously sucks… i was a barista 3 years ago. either coffee got really bad or their coffee skills just suck.
i ordered a 3 shot grande mocha no whip. After i recieved the drink and drove off… whats the first thing i tasted… you guessed it, whip cream… WOW. and if that wasnt bad enough, with three shots i should have been able to taste the espresso, all i could taste was the ridiculous amount of chocolate, i mean c’mon girls, i know you might be preoccupied with your gentlemen customers but im considered buisness too, just because i have a SUV and a carseat in the back doesnt mean i dont like coffee just as much as the next. So the last straw was probably the fact that while waiting for my drink my 9 yr old nephew, who was sitting next to me in the passenger seat heard the conversation between the girl and a different customer, that was absolutely inappropriate. The girl asked, did you need any sugar or cream in your coffee? the man said surprise me, and she then said what if i just stick my finger in the coffee, will that be sweet enough!!!
i looked horrified as i looked over at my nephew who heard most of the convo… ugh
i will DEFINITELY NOT BE BACK
GROSSNESS

Ladies and gentlemen,
BIKINIS.
That is all.
(on a more serious note, its pretty standard coffee, not wonderful like Sureshot, not bad like. well starbucks on a bad day. Wait, who cares? Bikinis!)

Yay, bikinis! I approve!!!
I live up the hill from there, so I’m in the community, and I’ve gotten coffee at that location for over ten years. So I’m a loyal customer for over a decade, too.
Don’t let the bible-​pounding morons drive you out. Make money and make us happy with bikinis!

Boo! Boo to Alan for changing the stand to a bikini stand. Boo!
I was a loyal customer for over a decade and was so sad to see it go this way. Avoid it!

I can not wait for the change. The new girls are nice and serve great coffee. For those of you that do not like the change keep your two cents to your self and go some where else. The coffee and the girls are great !
