Having not yet been to Lestats I can only review your reviews... I mean seriously just about everybody complains about the lack of power outlets, use that big old brain of yours and maybe bring a power strip... or just stay at home and study like you're supposed to. I can't speak for everybody but a restaurant is a restaurant if you want to do your homework go to Starbucks sounds like they got better coffee drinks anyway.
I’ve been going to lestats since I was just a child really. I haven’t been since 2018 maybe when we moved. But I can tell you I’ve known horrible humans in my life not by choice. But fate led me to John a sweet gay man who ran a 24/7 coffee house. And I’ve loved coffee since age 5. When times were hard a lonely girl could get a hot cup of coffee and use the wifi even and hang out. John took in many of us. I was one of the pre 98-2006 post crew that practically lived here....read full review

Lestat's Hillcrest is a versatile study and work spot with ample seating and charging stations available until midnight. The atmosphere is pleasant and relaxed, making it a great place for college students and anyone looking to enjoy some coffee while working or reading. The California breakfast sandwich with pesto was well-received, adding to the menu's charm. The downstairs area has a restaurant vibe with lots of tables, while the upstairs features a unique Egyptian theme, spacious settings, and a cozy little room for quiet moments. The friendly staff have consistently provided good service, although there may be times when it can be slow due to limited staff.
The decor is appreciated by visitors, and the space offers a relaxed environment perfect for using a computer or reading. The coffee is really good, and there are clearly marked vegan desserts, including tea cookies and cupcakes—one of the best many have tasted. Vegan options like vegan sausage and avocado sandwiches are available, along with sweets such as vegan coconut macaroons. The place stays open pretty late, which is a plus. There is a poster board area by the door for community events, making it a hub for meetups and casual visits.
Parking can be a challenge, often requiring a walk of several blocks, especially at night. Visiting during the day or going with someone is advisable for safety. Despite parking issues, Lestat's Hillcrest remains a popular spot known for its good coffee, eclectic decor, and inviting atmosphere.
