Ok, so I've studied here several times, everything seemed great: coffee's good, lots of plugs for my laptop, etc. But the last, and final time, I went to grab a drink and study a bit with a friend, I had a rather negative experience. As I'm talking with my friend, I notice a highly pungent, extremely foul odor near me. Finally I turn around and realize the smell is coming from a homeless man sitting three feet behind me at a nearby table. My friend, thinking I knew the guy was there the whole time, told me that this fellow had been let in by the staff and allowed to stay. Feeling extremely uncomfortable by the fact that my request to have the guy escorted out would not be well taken, as well as unable to concentrate on anything other than the noxious smell permeating the air, we left and I am definitely not returning since I don't look forward to having another study session ruined thanks to Dominican Joe's staff.
Pros: Plugs, coffee
Cons: Homeless people invited in to ruin your day
