About Bikini Beans Coffee
Our Story
Bikini Beans Coffee was built from grit, grind, and a deep-rooted belief in doing things differently. 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.

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.
