In a startling discovery, a Garden Grove coffee shop has been identified as operating as a hidden strip club. DD Café, located at 10552 McFadden Ave, is under scrutiny following undercover investigations that revealed questionable activities beyond its purported coffee service.
Cameras from FOX 11 exposed female servers engaging in provocative lap dances and providing private dances for cash. The café also facilitated patrons bringing their own alcohol for an additional fee, yet it operates solely under a coffee shop license, stirring significant concern in the local community.
The establishment’s location raises alarms, particularly for residents like Mytchell Mora, who highlighted its alarming proximity to La Quinta High School. The café is within walking distance of the school, violating the Garden Grove Municipal Code, which forbids adult entertainment venues within 1,000 feet of educational institutions.
Despite attempts by FOX 11 to speak with the owner, café staff insisted it was merely a coffee shop, and the owner has remained unavailable for comment. On February 5, police reported 17 arrests linked to activities at DD Café, subsequently labeling the business as “red-tagged.” This designation indicates potential safety and code violations, though details regarding the specific reasons for the arrests have not been disclosed.
Local residents have largely expressed little surprise at the revelations, suggesting that rumors of similar operations have circulated in the area for some time. The community is now calling for stricter enforcement of city codes to tackle such operations effectively.
As the situation develops, FOX 11 is actively seeking further information from the City of Garden Grove and the police department regarding these incidents at DD Café, and updates are anticipated as more details emerge. The community’s ongoing vigilance signals a hopeful demand for accountability and enforcement of local regulations.
