Café Shut Down for Hosting Strip Club Activities
A coffee shop in Southern California has been closed after it was found to be functioning as a strip club, in which exotic dancers provided adult entertainment in a concealed manner. This information came to light following an investigation by FOX 11.
DD Cafe, located in Garden Grove, reportedly served as a covert gentlemen’s club where women performed erotic dances for customers nestled in red leather booths, in a dimly lit setting. For an extra $80, patrons could even partake in private sessions. These operations were uncovered by an undercover investigator.
Additionally, to add to the mix, patrons were encouraged to bring their own alcoholic beverages—albeit for a fee of $30.
“This isn’t even a coffee shop, it’s a strip club,” shared Mitchell Mora, a former Garden Grove resident, elaborating on how the venue is situated near a school and violates the city’s regulations concerning adult entertainment establishments.
According to Mora, “It’s a strip club with no rules—anything goes there. Everyone’s aware, yet no one did anything about it.”
Authorities conducted a raid on what was described as a clandestine “Jiggle Joint,” which was licensed as a coffee shop. During the operation, which took place on a Thursday, 17 people were taken into custody following complaints of misconduct, as reported by the Garden Grove Police Department.
Police stated that agents from several units executed a search warrant at the location. “As a result, 17 individuals were arrested, and the establishment received a red tag with support from Garden Grove Law Enforcement,” they announced on Instagram.
The raid was prompted by undercover footage shared with authorities by FOX 11, although police did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
The establishment was shut down due to code violations. Authorities indicated that many arrests stemmed from violations of the city’s anti-nudity laws, with individuals facing misdemeanor charges before being released.
The owner of the café has faced charges related to alcohol violations and was cited for permitting other infractions.
Local residents have expressed that this café, among others like it, has been an open secret in Orange County. A now-deleted Instagram page reportedly showcased its scandalous business practices.
“This won’t be the first and certainly not the last,” remarked one local, commenting on the café’s pricey $20 coffee offerings.
“If you travel down these streets, you’ll probably discover several others. This city should really address this issue more seriously.”
