Bikini Cups Cafe |
Want a hot cup of coffee with a great big smile? Or are you looking for a refreshing ice cream cone on a hot sunny day? Perhaps some pastries will get you through the long lazy summer afternoons? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then there is a new coffee shop in Renfrew County that is ready to take your order!
Bikini cups Café in Deacon is a new business that is ready to serve up great treats and lots of fun and smiles for you. This new business went from a simple idea to an actual operation through the hard work and imagination of 19-year-old Meaghan Lockhart. Meaghan is a student at the University of New Brunswick who calls Golden Lake home. The Bikini Cups Café specializes in coffee and pastries as well as ice cream.
Aside from the coffee and ice cream, there are novelties including homemade bikini tops! As Meaghan says, “I’ve always wanted to work in a coffee shop…and this has really been a good learning experience for me on how to run a business.” Participants receive up to $1500 from the Summer Company Program that is run by Enterprise Renfrew County. This money went towards the opening of the business, and Meaghan is not looking back. The Café is open every day and Meaghan is ready to serve coffee, ice cream and smiles!
