Belfair’s Coffee is Too Steamy

I like a little steamed milk with my coffee, but patrons at the Espresso Gone Wild coffee stand are apparently getting a little more steam than the business is zoned for and county officials have stepped in to cool things off. The Seattle Times reports that Mason County officials have deemed the baristas “erotic entertainers” due to their less than matronly outfits and sent the owners a letter saying that the outfits would have to go (presumably they also stated that they would have to be replaced with more conservative dress).

As recently as two weeks ago, Espresso Gone Wild was advertising on Craigslist. In case the text gets pulled later today, it reads:

WE HAVE A GREAT “CATCHY” THEME THAT KEEPS OUR CUSTOMERS COMING BACK OVER AND OVER AGAIN (AS SEEN @ www.cowgirlsespresso.com)
WE ARE LOOKING FOR MOTIVATED PEOPLE THAT ARE READY TO WORK IN A VERY FAST PACE ENVIORNMENT AND THINK THEY MAY HAVE THE FOLLOWING TRAITS:
RELIABLE, ENERGETIC, UPBEAT, POSITIVE, HONEST, OUTGOING, DEDICATED, AND WILLING TO GO THE EXTRA MILE FOR THE CUSTOMER.

Cowgirls Espresso lists a number of locations in and around Seattle. I wonder if they will also soon be getting official letters too?

    I’ve seen a stand in Monroe on my way to camp…haven’t seen anything that crossed a line while stuck in traffic, but I haven’t actually gone to the window.
