I think the fork can vary in what, if any, attachment points it has for brakes, and the front rim may or may not be intended for a brake- pictures of both would help, I think.

Myself I like the clean look and the simplicity of the coaster brake, but then I only use my cruiser to do just that CRUISE. But if it was my only bike to commute and haul stuff home for the store, you bet I'd have one big disc brake on the front.
