Food and beverage trucks are popping up in cities all over, and many are quick to gain a cult following. Honolulu’s Wild Bean Espresso truck is one of the city’s most popular places to get coffee, but the novelty doesn’t just lie in the beverage shop’s mobility — the truck is staffed entirely by lingerie-clad young women.
Known to some locals as "the lingerie lunchwagon," the truck, decorated in zebra print with a hot pink silhouette of a woman holding a drink, offers standard coffee shop beverage fare, plus smoothies and Italian sodas. As can be expected, the truck has amassed a group of dedicated regulars and is quickly becoming a tourist attraction, but also has its fair share of detractors who find the concept offensive.
Despite any controversy, Wild Bean Espresso is doing well enough to expand quickly — another truck can now be found in Honolulu and one opened in Pearl City, bringing the number of Wild Bean Espresso outposts to three.
