Spokane, Wash., is the city of the so-called “bikini barista,” where topless baristas wearing pasties serve coffee from drive-true coffee stands that have names like “Bare Beans,” “Bottom’s Up” and “Devil’s Brew.”

In Spokane, Wash., moms are on a mission to get lingerie-wearing coffee baristas to cover-up.
