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.

The best part about Bottoms Up Espresso is the service with a smile and some better-than-small talk conversation - and Janiyah at the Carmichael location is the best! Do yourself a favor and stop by when she's working and have your day instantly brightened!

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

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.

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.
