BIG windows look out on lakeside park and keep it nice and warm.  There is outside seating, too.  It's next to the Ethiopian Community Center and has a great, very diverse vibe. excellent  blues, jazz and R&B piped in (hence the coffee with a beat).  has sandwiches and typical coffee munchies - e.g. bagels.  not fancy or quaint but has real character and fits the hood.
