beehive espresso — Restaurant in Lynnwood

Where to begin….. So I don’t live in Lynnwood and I’m in the area for business needed a coffee on a Saturday morning about 7:30 AM. I was going to work and I saw the espresso shop. It had a big pink neon sign glowing on the window that said open.

I drove into the parking lot and all of the windows to the drive-through espresso shop were blacked out. They appeared to have some sort of black plastic placed on all the windows, but could see the glow of colored neon lights coming through the cracks in the plastic. I thought this was strange and drove around to the window, expecting that they would not be open, boy was mistaken!

The window had a sign on it that said knock on window if nobody opens the window when uou drive up. OK, it was a relatively large window and not the typical window that you would see in an espresso shop, much lower to the ground almost as big as a sliding glass patio door.

I opened my door because I was parked a little bit away from the window and went up to knock on the window and it slid open. A scantly clad barista dressed in a G string and a little tiny bikini top was standing a couple feet from me.

Oh my gosh I looked around. This is gotta be some sort of set up. Where is the hidden camera? I must be on MTV punked. The last time a young women like this was this nice to me candY bars cost nickle.

My only thoughts were, this is got to be the local police Department doing a prostitution sting or Chastity is actually a dude! Either way I figured any coffee Chasity made for me was going to cost me way too much one way or another. I left drove a block down the street and bought myself a boring...

If I could give them no stars, I would. I thought this was the old place, Buzz Bear and they just changed their name. I was very sadly mistaken!! When a barrista asks you how to make a coffee, you know you're in the wrong place. They should put a sign out there to tell people they're a bikini coffee shop. The current owner obviously didn't think he could make it on their own merits so they tried to be deceptive by calling this Beehive espresso and kept the same colors. They will NEVER...

Well, I come to this location specifically to see a barista named Kylie. She makes the best cup of coffee on the planet and when she's working this place has the most amazing view you'll ever see. I know that when I leave here it's with a great cup of coffee and a smile on my face, and am always fully satisfied with...
