Are there any coffee shops around Bonavista that would work for their age group that are independent and have some personality versus, like, Starbucks, anybody could recommend? Kind of like Weeds or Kettle and Loaf, but in the good end of town.
“Why don’t you teens go loiter around some small businesses”. No small businesses have ever succeeded if it becomes a teen hang out, the teens just don’t bring the money many need to stay afloat. The LAST thing I want in my coffee shop are a bunch of kids hanging around.

Do the kids have jobs or participate in organized extracurricular activities? It seems their time could be used much more constructively then monopolizing tables at a small independent coffee shop.
