I think this coffee shop desperately needs a makeover, it’s a bunch of brown chairs and brown tables. They need to make it warm, cozy and inviting and add some comfy soft seating. Come up with a new design/layout/charging stations for folks/students/workers. And what’s with the sphinx? Needs a revamp. It’s been the same for agessssss. SOMEONE PLZ INVEST IN THIS PLACE. IT HAS SOO MUCH POTENTIAL.
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....
