Topless Coffee In Chilly Maine

February 26, 2009

Why would anyone want a cup of coffee without a warm lid in a cold place like Vassalboro, Maine?

Then you enter the Grand View Topless Coffee Shop and realize that it isn’t the beverages that are topless….

According to the Kennebec Journal, the Grand View Topless Coffee Shop opened quietly on Monday, despite tepid support from the town and protests from some local residents. It’s an equal opportunity topless establishment (both men and women servers are half-naked). A waitress named Susie, interviewed by the Journal, said that her job was “very empowering.” And apparently hundreds of candidates vied for the 10 staff positions…

The mix of food service and caffeinated semi-nudity has been missing ever since, oh, maybe since R Donuts and its topless waitresses went out of business in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Outside of bar snacks at strip clubs, the only place you could get food-and-nude recently was at a nudist camp. It’s hard to say whether topless coffee will endure, or if other towns will encourage similar enterprises in a sagging economy.

Even though it endured a chilly reception in Vassalboro, the Topless Coffee Shop should be thankful that it’s not in Rock Hill, South Carolina — not after what that town did to its statues, and they weren’t even naked.

   Ok when I’m chowing down on a BLT, I don’t think I want to see ANYbody naked, man, woman, moose (we’re in Maine, righ?), whatever. All those pimples and spots and creases and moles and hair and … well you get the picture. I think you kind of want to separate your eating from your oggling, know what I mean?

   What a great idea, the business is working, it has hired 10 people who were otherwise unemployed, and it’s offering something no one else has offered. If the thought of “Chowing Down” bothers you, then make your order to go!

   If the government was only as resourceful we might not be in the economic mess we are now.

   Congrats to the Coffee Shop!

   I just visited this coffee shop today, being served by a beautiful lady, who was of course, topless. She had on a nice, black short skirt and was very attractive. She served coffee just like any waitress would serve food. She carried on a conversation with me and my friends and even though I can’t remember what she said because I was staring at her breasts, it was a great experience. I believe this shop has great potential.

   This coffee shop burned down and they are rebuilding it. They said it was arson. There have been a lot of people who have been against its existence from the beginning so they’re figuring it was started due to someone’s anger at the owner.
