FREMONT — There are plenty of coffee shops in Fremont, but those with pretty young women working in bikinis are hard to find.
That combination is “a gold mine,” said Robert Martinez, a formerly out-of-work general contractor who, desperate to help pay his sons’ college bills, has opened Your Coffee Cups — the Bay Area’s first bikini barista drive-though coffee business.
The establishment, in a Warm Springs district strip mall, serves Mr. Espresso coffee in a 16-ounce “C-Cup” for $1.85.
But the real draw may be the view that comes with each purchase, evidenced by the fact that all 22 drive-through customers during a one-hour stretch Thursday morning were men.
“I’m spoiled,” said Ken Lockett, a burly Fremont machinist, just before a barista wearing little more than a bikini top and short shorts asked him, “Is your coffee good?”
“It’s always good,” Lockett replied smiling, before leaving a tip.
