Lestat's Hillcrest

Really a pretty good cafe, they used to be more of a hole in the wall kind of a place but have definitely been upgrading in the past several years.

Long story short: Good place, good coffee, good cupcake, less outlets, average wifi. Overall will come again because its a good place to study. ‐------ In depth review: Amazing place, I came here to work on some assignments and I had a great time. I loved the ambiance as well as the coffee. The snickers was great as well as the vegan chocolate cupcake, I'm not vegan and do not have the best experience with vegan pastries, but this was an amazing cupcake. As a student I really do appreciate having a place that closes late. Since I can't really study at libraries since theyre too quiet but, this coffee shop provided the ideal environment to focus and get some homework done. It did not play loud music and the volume inside was not overwhelming. ---- I would rate 5 stars, however, the only reason I am rating 4 out of 5 is because of two reasons... 1) Lack of electric outlets; As many others do, I came in with an electronic and in need of having it constantly plugged in due to my workload. Me and my friend were only able to find one outlet in the back for us to use. I wish there were slightly more outlets so that students or employees would not worry about our electronics dying. 2) WiFi was pretty good at first, so I don't know if it was just a lone experience. However, I do want to write it here just incase. I came into the Cafe when it was not very full, and as the internet typically works, the more people that join in the slower it gets. However, it did not take many people to enter the Cafe for the internet to slow down at a rapid pace. I was able to get work done, however. I could not have the wifi on my phone to ensure my assignments would be turned in. --- Overall great place. Will definitely come back, either alone or with friends. Also shout out to the batista Ryan, super chill and he did a great job even when a lot of people started coming in AND he was working alone. As an ex-food service employee that is some serious respect. He also recommended the now best cupcake I've ever had.

This is a great atmosphere for studying and getting work done - the employees really are like your old friends, the way they greet you, take your order, and serve you. I always feel warm and safe here. I'd been coming to Lestat's for years, and I've had only a couple incidents when my order wasn't correct, but I'm never dissatisfied for long - they genuinely care to make things right, do right by you, and they'll go above and beyond for you, as they always have for me.

We love this place on University Avenue. Best Chai tea latte I've had in a long time. Their dessert s are so good and the prices are reasonable.
