Michigan seeing a sudden influx of bikini baristas
By Brian FairbanksAugust 2nd, 2010, 10:25 amComments (7)A coffee company in East Township, Michigan is making headlines with its risque blending of hot women and hot beverages. Like similar establishments in Maine, Washington and Oregon, The Hot Spot offers great deals like $1 breakfast tacos, gourmet brews and sexy women in revealing outfits.
According to their MySpace page, they even have something called Topless Tuesdays, which we can only fantasize about.
Despite some eye-rolling from local officials and skepticism from residents, the Troy location has been successful since getting a makeover in May, the owners report. The Brighton shop, which opened this week, has been controversial as well, but business is brisk.
Some people in these communities argue the chain's signage is distasteful (promotions include Topless Tuesdays, Bottomless Wednesdays and Fantasy Fridays), but provocative or not, no laws have been broken. Co-owner Brenda Zelda said anyone who doesn't like the idea shouldn't buy coffee there. [Michigan Live]
Check out the address of the Hot Spot Coffee Company -- we're not making this up:
2969 E. Big Beaver

Do they dress that way in the wintertime too?
These sorts of things always seem so weird and desperate to me, but I bet the girls make better tips than any other baristas.
I hope that's not the best Michigan has to offer.
"East Township"? That's like 123 Main Street, Any Town, Statesota. The location is in Troy, which is a fairly sizeable suburb of Detroit. And yes, it's true, Big Beaver is Exit 69.
I guess they didn't make the grade at Hooter's.
I'm supposing that with the Detroit-area economy being the disaster that it is, these ladies don't have too many other work options.
I love this music video "Bikini Barista" by Quickie
