It is a good start but can be stronger.. for example
“My Objective is to obtain my first job, and receive experience in a field that I enjoy”
great but You do not say what field you enjoy, and you say you are applying to cafes, retail etc..
I would say something like…
“I am interested in the food industry and am looking for experience in this area…..”
or
“I am interested in the retail industry and am looking for experience in this area…..”
and have a different one for each sector…
however smaller outlets and businesses like this usually the decision maker is one person – so you would be better to go armed with your cv/ resume and ask to speak to the manager (go appropriately dressed) if they are not there ask when they will be back and only hand the CV/resume to the manager in person – they will hire you because they trust you not because they like your CV – the CV is just to show you have made an effort at this level
good luck
