YAKIMA -- "Full-bodied coffee" has a whole new meaning in Yakima.

At Brewlesque Espresso, baristas don skimpy, burlesque-style outfits while serving up java drinks.

Owner Vicki Gibson says she came up with idea with her daughter who lives in Hollywood.

The stand is right next to Mel's Diner on First Street. It opened up yesterday and Gibson says business is booming.

"Most of the people who have come through have been really excited about it," she says. "We knew that there might be a little controversey, but I think it was time for Yakima to have something fun."

While some may visit the stand just for the view, Gibson says her quality coffee will keep people coming back.

She says yesterday was the stand's soft opening, and there will be something bigger coming up in a few weeks. She also wants to incorporate the girls in Yakima's Vintique car show at the end of July.
