I love that name, too! Congrats, Gracie on such a fun new enterprise. FYI, another way to offer computer use is to have free WI-FI, rather than providing actual computers. Many, many coffee places do this! People love to bring their laptops and get free internet access while they have their coffee. (And if they spill, well, it's THEIR computer...) Good luck with your new venture!

When I see Gracie's cones I am picturing a woman with Double D's wearing a bullet bra and standing with a surfer dude named Kona. It sounds like a Hawaiin porn film ...but that's just me! lol

Loving some of the names suggested so far. Just thinking though that some of the names suggested here would lend me (as a potential customer) to believe the shop specialized in coffee flavored ice cream. So I just thought I'd mention it as a caution. I'm trying to feel creative with names. But you guys are all doing too fantastic a job already!

OMG, that is funny, Pamy. Now I can' get that picture out of my head, either. BR, good idea about the connections, and . . . you are so bad!! (I'm gonna run and tell Half. (Hey, BR, check out Dahli's folder, would you?)

BR and Pamy, I knew you'd pick up on that! I love Half's cones costume! Jan, that is a fact about the spelling. I've steered clear of some of the names well used in our area, like: Gruene (a part of town) and Wurst (German sausage popular here) and Huisache (someone named their grill that!) Graceunderfyre, Yes! My nickname is Grace I'm in Comal County City nickname is Oasis of Texas We are located in the south central part of the state, or the 'Heart' State flower is the Bluebonnet State nickname is Lone Star School mascots are Unicorns, Cougars, and Rangers As new businesses go, we are starting with coffee and ice cream. If it goes well then we will potentially grow into serving more products. Thank you for your suggestion Babyruth! I knew there was internet possibility without investing in too many computers! Free connections if you bring your own, but how much would you charge for computer use? I've paid from $3 for half an hour to $10 for a day! Any suggestions on that?

Free WI-FI would mean you (your business)would subscribe to cable internet service with modem, have your own computer in the back room, and a router. (Dra can set you up!) LOL. Tax-deductible business expense. Anyone bringing their laptop into your cafe with Wi-Fi card/capability will pick up on your WI-FI signal, and get internet access for free. Don't charge for this, but advertise free WI-FI access with drink/food purchase. Anyway, that's the way it's done in a zillion places around here, including Starbucks, Panera, etc.

My humble opinion, I don't like Kona in the title. What does it mean anyways? I like "Cool Beans." I also like "Stop N Joe" and "Have A Java." "Slurp & Surf" is cool if you are going to highlight the computers... "Paint" of picture of the inside/atmosphere for us...

RATRLMBO! Pamy! Yay for the pic, Half! Thanks for the tips BR and Juju. Twinks, my ice cream is the BEST! Julieboo, Kona is a brand of coffee beans from the arabica beans grown in Hawaii. The building is being built. The decor inside will be determined after I get the rest of my product and legal matters taken care of. Maybe I can get some suggestions for decor, too? I don't want the same thing everyone else has, but it has to be functional and sturdy, good looking and comfortable, and maybe timeless (so it won't get boring).

Okay, what do you want to focus on the coffee or the ice cream? What are the demographics you are trying for?

Julieboo, Kona is kind of synonymous with or symbolic of gourmet coffe. Where Urgrace lives, most people would probably know that. Here was a cute independent coffee house name I saw in San Francisco: Latte Da

Hey Juju thanks for explaining that to a figment of your imagination! I think Latte Da is great!! That is my favorite (if she could use it.)
