The coffee was SO GOOD. I got the blonde bombshell drink. Barista Nicole was super friendly and sweet. Will definitely go back!

I had to stop here because my uncle insisted that he needed a coffee on our way to see my mom in the hospital. I think he really just wanted to creep on the baristas which is gross because he's like 70. My coffee was good and the barista was nice, but I worry about the safety of the kids working here. To have one young girl in a bikini, on display, where weirdos know she's alone, seems like a bad idea. read more

The coffee is great. So are the gals. Always friendly. I visit the one at Tracy and at times the ones at Modesto. read more

This is another one of my favorite nearby coffee places. I've been to it a few times now and the ladies inside are always so cheery and friendly. The drinks have unconventional names which is also a fun novelty. I get a laugh whenever I order a Little Irish Girl or a Screamer lol read more

I do not buy my coffee outside if I don't have to and this was an emergency situation! Also, I don't drink flavored coffee at all but I needed something to make me feel better that morning. I pulled to drive thru not knowing what to order, I asked if that "lavender coffee drink" is any good, and she said yes. It was damn good! Coffee was good, morning chat was good, not sure about the concept but if you like good coffee, do try! Also, don't know if this is your thing, but their menu is simple, and makes it way easier to order. read more

We've made a point to try the coffee in our area. This was the last place on our list . We walked there so it was nice that we didn't have to have a car to do the drive-through. Our barista was very nice and engaging. Service was quick. Drinks are fair. You know nothing special but definitely not horrible. I mean it's coffee. I'd say it's better than Dutch Bros. I think Dutch Bros makes their coffee way too sweet. If you want quick coffee on the go this is a great place. read more

Bottoms Up Espresso - Iced white mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carmichael, California

Omg my first time here... service was good my drink was bomb thanks ladies definitely going back!!! Worth the wait!!

The ladies were very professional,kind,and beautiful. I was helped by Nicole and she was such a sweetheart. Great customer service.

Many people think that a drive-thru espresso/coffee business with young women in bikinis and scantily clad attire is inappropriate. As long as the coffee tastes good, the prices are fair, and the service is above average, I don't see it as a big deal. This takes me to the Carmichael area of Sacramento where the very first "Bottoms Up Espresso" opened their drive-thru window back in late-2022. Located at the corner of Madison Ave & Manzanita Ave, this place is next to an Arco AM/PM gas station and actually across from a Starbucks Coffee. What really has this place going for it is their hours of operation. Much to the delight of many early-birds, they are opened Monday-Friday from 4am-7pm, Saturday from 5am-7pm, and Sunday from 6am-6pm. The entrance is only accessible from northbound Manzanita Ave so make sure to turn right before you get to the Arco gas station. Since I had only been to a Bottoms Up (in Tracy, CA) several years ago, I knew they had a fairly decent selection of hot, iced, and blended beverages as well as a small food menu. For being such a tiny little business, this place offers a ton of choices. I went with a medium size of their iced "Blonde Bombshell" (for about $7.00) which offers white chocolate, caramel, and toasted marshmallows. Many of their 'premium' espresso drinks in their lineup are on the sweeter side so if you're looking for something more bitter, I would recommend not coming here. In addition to their coffee/espresso drinks, they carry quite a bit of twisted energy drinks (with Red Bull in them), fruit smoothies, hot/iced teas, hot chocolate, and chai tea lattes. They also offer a limited selection of food items including their French toast bagel sandwich, breakfast burritos, croissants, muffins, and a very generous oatmeal selection. When I drove up to the ordering window, the women that work here are very polite, professional, and knowledge. And during my visit, both ladies asked how my day was, if I had any plans this weekend (since it was the morning of Friday 6/30/2023 at 7:30am), and if I had anything going on for 4th of July. As long as you (as a customer) are respectful towards them, they will be respectful to you in return. Again, it's not about what they're wearing and about a positive experience with a high level of customer service. Tips are also highly recommended as the young women made my drink in a quick and timely manner. With that said and done, I am giving "Bottoms Up Espresso" (Carmichael, CA location) an above average four-star Yelp rating. After taking a few sips of my Blonde Bombshell iced drink, it was actually very good. Since it was a bit on the sweeter side, its similar to what you'd find at Dutch Bros. But this is an excellent addition to the vast amount of coffee shops in the Sacramento area. read more

Bottoms Up Espresso - Iced medium "Blonde Bombshell" - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carmichael, California

Stopped by after a little over a year, used to be my daily! Business needs to highly consider bringing our favorite baristas back.

Coffee is pretty good, prices are reasonable. The large is HUGE. The girl that made our drinks is super sweet. I really hate that these teenage girls are being sexualized and required to dress as "school girls" or in bikinis. Our barista was only 19yo. Lots of signs with sexual innuendos. Why not just have good coffee and not support pedophilia. The school girl theme was just too much. read more

Riley is amazing!!! Super sweet. I had no idea what to order but I knew I like to drink from your competitor Starbucks and she made the drink for me and it tasted great! Will definitely come back. read more

Was my first time going here after seeing an ad on IG (or TikTok; cant remember) and was blown away. Nicole gave great customer service, had a great attitude, good personality and honestly was one of the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. She recommended the Sweet Señiorita and it was delicious. I signed up for the rewards program so I will for sure be going back! Definitely made a great start to my day. Thanks read more

This place is so amazing. The ladies who work there are so pretty and amazingly sweet. I drive all the way from woodland for their coffee. It tastes great because it's made with care. The girls are always welcoming and really great to get to know. They have fun themes everyday that the ladies get so creative. While they all are great Nicole is my favorite. We have great intellectual conversations about books we are reading, podcasts, and important things impacting the world. It's a great place to hangout if they are not too busy. You won't get this great experience at a Starbucks. read more

Honestly, their coffee is better than Starbucks and the girls who work there are not as fake as the people who work at Dutch Bros. I'm not just saying that because the ladies there are dressed all sexy and stuff. This place has the right concept when it comes to selling coffee. The coffee is super good, When you go to Starbucks do you ever look and see if your cup is full? Numerous times my coffee isn't full. At BUE it's always full to the top, It never burnt and is always good. My favorite drink to get is that Blonde Bombshell. What's better than toasted marshmallow, caramel & white chocolate with white coffee? Sounds good right? Let's talk about the interactions, most people would probably think, why would they wear the outfits that they wear? Well, sex sells. But there's more to it. These ladies are super nice and outgoing. I recall going to Dutch Bros once, the girl took my order and asked what I was up to that day. I replied, well I got to go to the doctor, Dutch Bros replied saying well that's cool, I hope you have fun (In her hyper voice) At BUE they ask you what you are doing, and when you reply to them they actually stop and listen to what you have to say. They are fun to talk to and if no one is in line, they will have a decent conversation with you, Just treat them with respect. If you are a prude then drive on by and get your Starbucks, but if you want a good cup of coffee give Bottoms Up Espresso a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

Very tasty coffee, open early at 4 am before all other shops, very attractive friendly staff. Quick service and no wait. 5*

My 4th time stopping by Bottoms Up Espresso and finally leaving a review.... So here we go. First of all they're located at the corner of Madison & Manzanita right behind AmPm gas station. They have two drive through lanes but only one is open. Ordering is only at the window which is a little inconvenient in my opinion. If there's 2-3 cars in front of you then expect to wait at least 7-8 min. When I first ordered my coffee here I thought it was odd seeing girls in bikinis but after reading the reviews looks like that's the company motto "Bottoms Up"... hmmmmmm To be honest with you I prefer the girls wear just normal clothing but that's my opinion. I usually order the "Blond Bombshell" iced coffee with half the sugar. On my visit today I asked for lite ice and after receiving my coffee there was more than 75% ice. That's a big NoNo for me. I'll give them another try and if that keeps happening I'll take my business back to Dutch Bros. Service 4 Stars Coffee 4 Stars read more

My service at BUE is always excellent!!! Barista Janiya is always so nice and remembers my order or always has a great recommendation if I want something different And of course, always looking beautiful with the awesome outfits and themes read more

First time here and I was not disappointed. Coffee drink prices are similar to Starbucks. I ordered a hot Mocha and it was good. What makes this place 5 stars is the service; my server was very friendly and even struck up some small talk which surprised me being in a drive thru. The girls who work there are gorgeous and were wearing stunning outfits. Service is very quick; I got my drink in less than 2 minutes after ordering it. I will definitely be back. read more

The girls are always feiendly and they have the cutest outfit themes everyday! The coffee is really good, they also offer smoothies & energy drinks. read more

i stopped by this location for the first time the other day and let me say i was amazed. i was greeted by two beautiful girls, Janiyah and Kari and not only did their looks kill but the coffee was even better. they were both so helpful on educating me on their menu and i eventually ordered the blonde monkey. not only were they fast AND efficient, they were both some of the sweetest girls i had ever met, i almost asked if they wanted to be friends and hangout after their shift. overall i had an amazing first time experience and i will be coming again! read more

Hasn't been the same since Keeks left, they keep firing the best baristas. Today was definitely my last time coming. Fired the last girl i went there for Leana no point in coming now the new baristas are not welcoming or inviting on top of inconsistent drinks. read more

Great Service ! Consistent coffee ! Like the old breakfast burritos but I'll adjust. : )

The service is amazing, always with a smile. The coffee is hot and the girls are even hotter! Ask for a screamer.

I went there one weekday afternoon on my way to Home Depot. A girl named Kat was there. Very nice girl. Very cool. I went there another day and another girl was there. She was nice and asked me how my day was. Very nice. Nice and friendly atmosphere. The coffee was great by the way . The coffee is better than Starbucks. read more

My husband likes Bottoms Up more than I do obviously lol but the coffee is pretty good. The staff is friendly, and it's a short wait. My only complaint is that they add way too much ice to the iced coffee even when I say light ice. read more

Don't let the employees in bikinis fool you. This is a drive up coffee bar the serves excellent espresso.

I enjoy their coffee but the last two times I drove there I was told they couldn't make me a coffee drink. I understand closing things early is typical, usually about 20-15 minutes before closing, but that's not the case here. I showed up at 6:30, 30 minutes before they close, and was told they shut down the expresso machines 30 minutes before close. It sucks but if that's policy obviously totally fine!! But when I just went today I showed up at 6:07 and the lady working told me she had already started turning off the machine. I told her that last time I was told they do that at 6:30. She said yes, but she had already started so she couldn't make me coffee. I understand closing things early, but an entire hour early with no indication anywhere really sucks. I'm just warning you DO NOT come here within the last hour if you want coffee. read more

Just about everyday myself and co worker come in for coffee. The girls are always in a great mood and treat us great. Looking forward for tomorrow. Best coffee! read more

Coffee is great. Baristas are amazing. Lavender charting with them and following their socials. I really miss my favorite barista, Keeks. I haven't been back since she left. read more

Obviously there's girls in bikinis selling coffee but what better way to wake up quick in the morning? Staff is very friendly and will have a nice quick conversation with you while you are waiting. These girls are quick, smart and witty too unlike the zombies at Dutch brothers or Starbucks. And most of all the coffee is excellent! The other places need the sugar and flavors because their coffee by itself sucks. Bottoms Up has very very good coffee to start with! I hope this location does well as it is somewhat hidden. read more

Always amazing service and good coffee with a gorgeous smile from the stunning Kristen! Great way to start your morning!!

The best coffee in Carmichael. The baristas know what their doing and are happy to give you a specialty drink to your liking!

Delicious drinks, fast, friendly, and very personable. I highly recommend this place over any other coffee drive-thru coffee.
