Meet the Baristas

Emma:

Born and raised right here in Yakima, this beautiful babe has been in the coffee business for a couple years now! She loves to watch a good horror movie, spooky show, or comedy, although her favorite pass time is of course serving looks, lattes, and lots of LOVE right here at The Strip Espresso! Come get a sweet treat and good vibes from your favorite coffee babe! 🕷💕

Keisha:

Hey! It's Keisha here, AKA KeKe! I've been in this field for over 15 years now, and I still love it. I absolutely adore all of our customers who have supported me through all these years, no matter where I've been, and who continue to support us to this day.


I started at 40th Ave. Espresso, worked for U.S. Cellular, and then moved on to the best bikini stand Yakima ever had Moulin Brew. I owe so much to the incredible owners and the badass crew who made those years unforgettable. When Moulin Brew departed, it left a gap in Yakima and now, in Union Gap, The Strip is honored to carry that torch and create the experience you deserve.


Over the years, I've had the chance to be part of a lot of promoting, advertising, and non-profit fundraising through 94.5 KATS and Moulin Brew to help support The Combat Vets and it was a blast. From bike runs to Smoke Out Choke Out at the old speakeasy, it's wild to see how far I've come since I started when I was just 18.


Life has definitely had its ups and downs; we all have them,
but my favorite part of this job is making you laugh and watching you leave with a smile. Keep following us and supporting us, it's only going to get better from here. We make sure it's always a fun experience. Pretend you're in Vegas because this is Yaki-Vegas, baby, right here at THE STRIP!
