If you want a smooth cup of coffee go across the intersection to the donut shop in the Trader Joes shopping center. $1.75 for a large cup. only options are milk and sugar, but the plain black coffee is good without the additives. Donuts are above average, too.
There are some homeless wandering around that area (Brookhurst/Hamilton) and panhandling, but I'm pretty sure most are living in the Fairview and Talbert Parks on the Costa Mesa side of the River. Costa Mesa and Orange County have started a clear-out process for those folks.
