Downbeat Cafe is relaxing Reviewed by vicky s on 2009-12-11T23:39:00-08:00
I love the atmosphere in the Downbeat Cafe. It's so relaxing and inviting at the same time. It's a nice place to meet others or just enjoy a good book

Cons:
went down hill Reviewed by snogger on 2008-07-06T11:11:08-07:00
place used to be amazing. now the coffee's bad and the baristas are glacial. like three-toed sloth slow. oh, they'll drop what they're doing to chat regulars up, but for god's sake don't ask them to do their job. that's not why they were…
Pros: good peanut butter cookies
Cons: overpriced, horrible service, listening to baristas talk about their band
Cool cafe. Reviewed by X L on 2008-03-14T14:19:00-07:00
I like The Downbeat Cafe. I always get some kind of tea or hot chocolate, the coffee is also good. The atmosphere is very laid back and there are special events going on some nights. \r

Parking sucks though, if you can't find any…
