Aurora – Perky Cups had its grand opening in November last year. The coffee shop distinguishes itself from the competition by having its female staff wear bikinis as uniforms while working.
The concept of scantily clad female staff was once the domain of smoky, seedy night clubs, although the idea quickly spread into the world of sports, including paintball. The idea of nearly-naked bodies has spread to fundraisers such as the Nearly Naked Run. These days, bikini baristas are generating all the controversy, with charges of prostitution laid against five 'sexspresso baristas' in the state of Washington last year, according to MSNBC.
