New "sexpresso" stand coming to Ballard
Posted by Melissa Allison
Owner Mike Rockey tells MyBallard.com that baristas at "Knotty Bodies Espresso" -- really? knotty bodies? -- will wear lingerie and bikinis. Coffee drinkers who don't like his "classy" stand, scheduled to open in mid-July, can buy their beverages elsewhere, Rockey said.
Knotty Bodies certainly isn't the first sexpresso stand in the Seattle area, but I think of them as suburban phenomena. How many are this close to the city?
