Java Divas is not your typical drive-through coffee shop. Instead, this Maryland coffee shop comes with a twist. Every day, hot baristas called "divas" are serving coffee in scanty clothes and revealing costumes to customers, many of whom are quite surprised to see scantily clad young baristas in the middle of a busy route. The Java Divas coffee shop that prides itself on "gourmet beverages and gourmet baristas" is based in a little shed along Ritchie Highway in Maryland. This female-owned business opened just a few months ago, but the sex appeal of its personnel is already attracting increasing numbers of customers.

The Java Divas baristas are wearing nothing much but lingerie on any given day, which is  appealing to many male customers. The coffee shop is now considering expanding to allure female customers with an addition of Java Males.

The baristas do not seem to mind walking around in revealing clothes at all. In fact, they are enjoying tips of up to $100 a day.

But, Java Divas is not the first business to use sex appeal to sell coffee drinks. The Grandview topless coffee shop was opened in February in Maine, but was set on fire and burnt down in June. Arson was suspected. Let's hope Java Divas does not face the same fate.

The coffee was great !  Try the "D" cup vs. the "C" cup because it's bigger !!  I like big cups (of coffee) LOL

The coffee is terrible. I ordered a cappuccino, and what I got was kind of a bitter cafe au lait mess. The costumes are fun, and the concept sounds great, but I think they could go to barista school. The shop is really run by a guy, and is not really female owned, which also takes a little bit away from it for me. Oh, and I waited about 5 minutes with no one else in line.

Wow!!! Alfonso I go their almost every weekday and have never had a bad drink or bad customer service. I think you are also mistaken about the ownership. I have met the owner several times during my patronage and she is most definatly a woman. I have met her husband too and he seemed very nice. Alfonso if I were you I would stick to the big green machine from Seattle cause you don't sound like you even want have a good experience. This place is unique, local and high quality. I am glad it is on my commute to work everyday!! Go Divas!
