Three women working an espresso stand on a busy road north of Seattle while wearing only bikinis were arrested Wednesday after police received complaints about inappropriate conduct.

The women sold coffee at a stand called “Hillbilly Hotties” in Everett, Washington. According to Everett police, two of the women were charged with violating the city’s adult cabaret law. NBC News reports that a third woman will be charged with lewd conduct.

It’s not the first time scantily-clad baristas have gotten in hot water in the state. Since 2009, police have busted up several bikini (or even scantier) themed coffee stands in the state with names such as Java Juggs and Candy Girls.
