Only in San Francisco. A coffee shop that doubles as a kink boutique is scheduled to open early next week.  Wicked Grounds (what a great name), the first shop of it’s kind in the U.S., will be opening in the SOMA section of the city – the same part of SF that hosts the annual kink-tastic Folsom Street Fair.  Planning to offer the finest coffees and teas, along with sandwiches, sweets, Wicked Grounds will also sell artisan fetish items, such as toys, jewlery and art.

What a freaking awesome idea.  Seriously.  I love bringing “taboo” culture into the light of day and creating safe, public spaces for people to live as they choose.  While there was the topless coffee shop in Maine a few months back (it was burned down not too long ago), San Francisco really is the only place in the U.S. that would accept and embrace such a risque idea.  They’ve even taken care of the only issue I found myself questioning – yes, Wicked Grounds will be an 18+ establishment. 

Take a look at Violet Blue’s interview with Wicked Grounds co-owner, Rose White to get all the juicy details about lattes served in pet bowls for your human pet, as well as keeping the space totally geek friendly with free wifi and tons of outlets.
