I've never liked the coffee here but I come because my colleague likes the spot and it's a midway point for us. I usually just get tea.
Today, the cashier working (a man with greying hair who seems to hate his job) jumped on me because he thought I'd gone in with coffee. He started naming policies that supposedly prohibit me from going into a coffee shop with coffee - made a scene. Had he instead asked me what I was drinking, I could have told him it was a protein shake - caffeine free!
I don't expect outstanding customer service of anyone, but I also don't think it's appropriate to harass patrons without asking if they're even doing what you think they're doing.
The kicker was once my colleague arrived, I told him what happened and he said he's come in here with actual coffee and nobody has ever harassed him for it.
Anyway, there are better and nicer (including personality-wise) coffee spots in the city. Go to Lovesong, Provecho!, Coffee & Tea Collective, Holsem. And cashiers there are kind.

Parking is difficult. Come early for a seat, be willing to share tables.

I went to Lestat’s to grab a sandwich and coffee while I studied. I’ve worked in restaurants for years and I’m a generous tipper, but one of the counter guys here is consistently hostile. When I declined a soda, he rolled his eyes and spoke down to me. Sitting nearby, I watched him belittle and snap at other employees, which was uncomfortable and honestly gross to witness.
This isn’t new — every time I’ve seen him working he’s dismissive and demeaning. The vibe he creates is toxic enough that I didn’t even want to eat the food I paid for.
You’ll know him if you’ve been here: tall (around six feet), heavy-set, usually wearing a hat and tight shirt, always behind the counter acting like he’s in charge. Management needs to step in — no café should let one angry staffer poison the atmosphere for guests and coworkers.

I have never encountered such rude service by two of the workers. Not only were we treated like we were bothering them when ordering coffee, they gave off the worst angry and bitter energy! I noticed that they treated the next patron just as rudely.

My main reason for stopping in was to use the print kiosk; however, I decided to grab a 12 ounce French roast. I'm glad I did. Dark but not bitter. Not too acidic. The atmosphere of this cafe is awesome. Some cool art posted for sale. Fair price on the coffee. It was less than $3 before tip. Cashier was really friendly in answering my questions. Thanks!
Came at 12am on a Monday. Abysmal service. Worst chai latte I’ve ever had in my life. Unhoused, non patrons on the couch so I couldn’t even sit there. This place has really gone downhill. Never again.

The overnight service is horrible. A person with white hair was disrespectful and mean. They charged extra compared to day shift and other locations for the same drinks. They don't listen well, and made us repeat our order multiple times.
I suggest going to another location, or during the day when they aren't working, or somewhere else entirely.

The overnight barista with white hair is very rude and lies. Terrible service, the food they made was bad, and the drink was half full. They need an attitude adjustment, and better training.
I won't be coming back at night. It's terrible because this is the only 24 hour one of the Le Stats locations. The others are not 24 hours.
That one employee ruined this spot.

The staff is always extremely friendly and warm. My cup had more foam than latte, the last time i was here. Such a great spot to study and work though!

Very nice coffee shop. 24 hours which is amazing. Staff is a bit cold and unfriendly. Drinks/food are more expensive here. Lots of seating usually, and relatively quiet.
Great experience
