Nestled in Orange County, California, a seemingly typical coffee shop has come under scrutiny.
Known as DD Café, this establishment operates under a coffee shop license and is strategically situated near a high school, according to Fox11 Los Angeles.
An undercover investigation by Fox11 Los Angeles uncovered that the women at DD Café wear scant clothing, perform lap dances, and permit patrons to bring their own alcohol for an extra fee.
When questioned, a woman claiming to be responsible for the café asserted that it remains “just a coffee shop,” though the owner was unavailable for comment. Contradicting her statement, a local resident described DD Café as a “strip club” to Fox11.

The Garden Grove Police Department announced in a February 5 Facebook post that authorities had served a search warrant at the location and made 17 arrests.
“The Garden Grove Police Department Special Investigations Unit (SIU) conducted an investigation into DD Cafe following complaints of illegal activity occurring inside the business,” the Facebook post noted, adding that “the business was red-tagged with the assistance of Garden Grove Code Enforcement.” The red tag, police told Fox11, indicates an issue related to safety or other concerns.

According to Fox11, the Garden Grove Municipal Code prohibits placement of an adult entertainment business within 1,000 feet of a school location.

DD Café, however, is located very close to La Quinta High School, just a tenth of a mile away according to Google Maps.
Locals told Fox11 that there are a number of similar venues in the area.
