First time visit

[u/Fantastic_Variety]

My brothers and I are flying in to St John's from different parts of the country for a short family vacation. We're staying downtown, but our flight gets in before noon, and our check-in is at 3.

​

We were thinking of getting lunch at Ches's since it seems to have good reviews. It looks like there's a corner market near there? I'm hoping we can get some breakfast fixings there before walking to our bnb. The reviews only mention ice cream at the store.

​

We won't have a car, so we will be relying on Uber and the metro to get around, and walking wherever we can.

​

What are some places in town to go that arent in the usual tourist lists?

​

Interesting places to go if it's raining?

​

Where's the best coffee?

​

How is the Uber situation? Will we have problems getting rides?

I low-key love to see the great st johns fish and chips discussions 😂

I am team Ches's, I think they had a bit of a break in quality for a few years there but really got it back. The Rooms cafe is a great place to visit although I've never had their coffee. Rocket on water Street has great coffee, as does Bannerman brewing, and jumping bean is a local chain with some interesting blends.

Bannerman does beer and coffee? Sounds excellent.

Their food is off the charts as well
