"My family and I do not want a pervert magnet in our city, much less in our neighborhood, and we consider 'Bottoms Up' cafe exactly that, a perv magnet," says Christina Vargas. "It's a danger to our neighborhood and damaging to the families of Hanford."

"Bottoms Up Espresso" has faced previous backlash from residents in communities where they operate, including Clovis in 2014.
