Garden Grove Raids DD Café, Arrests 17, Red-Tags Alleged 'Bikini Café'

An undercover TV investigation prompted a search warrant, with officials alleging code violations at a coffee shop not licensed for alcohol.

Overview

  • Investigators executed a search warrant after FOX 11 shared undercover video of lap dances and paid private sessions.
  • Police reported staff serving customers in bikinis or partial undress and alleged violations of city rules on nudity, business operations and alcohol.
  • City records list the site only as a coffee shop, and authorities said alcohol-related violations were among the citations.
  • Among the 17 people arrested were the owners, though officials have not released detailed information on specific charges.
  • Garden Grove Code Enforcement red-tagged the building to halt operations, and residents raised concerns about the location’s closeness to La Quinta High School as police note similar businesses operate in the city.
