Is it safe to use free WiFi?

I hope I posted this in the correct thread. I was thinking about going to coffee shops to do some of my job searching just to get out of the house. Is it safe to go to Starbuck's or other places like that and use their free WiFi? Can my laptop be 'hacked'? I tried Googling it, but I'm really not getting a clear answer. Does anyone have any input?
