The unisex bathroom isn't the cleanest ever, but it's usable. Brightly colored tiles with cryptic sayings like "Felicia Rocks Our World" and "White Roses and Cherries" are a bit of a time suck. Also, there's a condom machine.
Et cetera:
The shop enforces a one-drink minimum (prices range from $1.65 for a cup of tea to $4.50 for blended drinks) if you want to hang around and has free wireless Internet. Smoking is allowed. Safehouse doesn't sell alcohol or food other than bagels and doughnuts.
