I feel safe venturing here on a Sunday morning, but would avoid it at night.\nBut The Beat is great. It reminds me of the old student hangout cafes in Belgium or Holland. They serve coffee in a nice cup, not styro and the baked goods are really tasty. They allow dogs too which adds a nice laissez-faire atmosphere, but what I truly enjoyed was the vinyl album music in the background. Let's hope this place generates enough busy to stay open."^^ .
