Lestat's Coffee Shop

Many a night I would take my laptop for an all-nighter filled with studying. Their sandwiches madea great midnight snack. Love the gothic atmosphere!

If it is your first time, be sure to check out the back patio. I was here a handful of times before I discovered that it existed.

Big-business alarmists take note: There is now a Starbucks open directly kitty-corner from Lestat’s.

Love the coffee, love the crowd, love the decor. And it’s open 24 hours to boot. I think this may be the best cafe I’ve ever been to. It certainly puts every cafe I’ve seen in Seattle to shame.

There are actually two parts to this place: the cafe itself, and Lestat’s West next door, where some kind of show is happening every night of the week. Open-mic night is on Monday nights.
