More Than Coffee – This is our story

Our Story

What Is Bikini Beans Coffee?

Bikini Beans Coffee was built from grit, grind, and a deep-rooted belief in doing things differently. Wondering who owns Bikini Beans Coffee? Founded by high school sweethearts Ben and Regina Lyles, originally from Olympia, Washington, Bikini Beans represents more than just coffee — it’s about confidence, empowerment, and creating opportunity. Both were raised in families where discipline, faith, and loyalty weren’t just values — they were a way of life.

Starting with nothing but a vision and relentless work ethic, Ben and Regina took a risk and opened their first location in 2014. They poured everything into the business — from long nights, financial struggles, and personal sacrifices to building every part of the brand with intention. Along the way, they faced judgment, doubt, and criticism — but never wavered in their belief in the mission. They stayed true to their values and built a culture that rewards authenticity, accountability, and self-confidence.

Now raising two daughters of their own, they’re even more committed to building a legacy rooted in strength, purpose, and empowerment. Today, Bikini Beans is more than a coffee shop — it’s a lifestyle movement with multiple locations and a growing national presence. At Bikini Beans, we don’t just serve coffee — we serve purpose, passion, and people. This brand was built on faith, family, and the fire to succeed — and we’re just getting started.

The EEFFOC Mantra

Spell coffee backward — and you’ll get the point. At Bikini Beans, we live by the EEFFOC mindset: unapologetic, unbothered, and fully confident. We don’t waste energy on judgment or opinions that don’t matter. Say it loud — I don’t give EEFFOC — because the only opinion that counts is your own.

The Bikini Barista Concept:

Confidence Over Conformity

Why the Bikini Barista Concept?
A Bikini Barista isn’t just about what’s worn—it’s about what’s owned. Confidence. Empowerment. Freedom. The bikini represents a bold refusal to conform, a symbol of self-expression and strength. We built this concept to do what we love, unapologetically—on our terms. Because success isn’t defined by a uniform, it’s defined by owning who you are.
