SHORELINE, Wash., Feb. 4 (UPI) -- A Shoreline, Wash., cafe has taken to serving a little sexual ambience along with its brew as part of a growing trend of "sexpresso" coffee stands.

By dressing its servers in provocative clothing and adding seductive titles such as the "Wet Dream" or "Sexual Mix" to its products, the Sweet Spot Cafe has embraced a popular new marketing scheme, the Los Angeles Times said.

Similar-themed establishments have popped up recently in other Washington state communities and all appear to offer their customers something extra with their daily coffee orders, the report said.

Sanitation worker Rob Chapman said he enjoys visiting the Sweet Spot Cafe on his breaks for that added twist to the age-old coffee service industry.

"I do enjoy coming here more than Starbucks," Chapman said.

King County Sheriff's Department spokesman John Urquhart said that while many in the stores' neighborhoods have complained of the erotic marketing scheme, it is legal.

"It's sort of like a Hooters for coffee," he told the Times. "It's not against the law. And the truth is, a lot of them are doing a land-office business."
