Theobroma Chocolate Lounge and Bar plans to open a new lounge at 20 Bronte Rd.
The plan for a three-storey chocolate lounge involves a liquor licence for two floors, according to Bondi Junction resident activist Danielle Ecuyer.
Ms Ecuyer said she had several issues with the application.
“This is the most densely concentrated area of licences and licensed premises in Bondi Junction and there is a real risk of negative cumulative impact if we add another large licensed premise,” she said.
“The second is a real moral and ethical problem with a licensed premises being linked to the supply of confectionary. It links alcohol to one of the most favourite foodstuffs of children. It is grooming them for the acceptance of liquor.”
But Theobroma spokesman Wayne Wright said that the business was not targeting children.
“There is no way we are targeting children, it’s an adult concept. We are selling food as well and the bar complements the cafe aspects,” Mr Wright said.
He also rejected suggestions it would become a late night drinking spot: “It gives people an option to drink in a cafe style environment, rather than a bar.”
