Lestat's on Park
4496 Park Blvd, San Diego, CA
Crema's Take
“This Park neighborhood gem balances speed and slowness beautifully, whether you're ducking in for a quick caffeine hit or settling in with your laptop for hours of work. The baristas craft genuinely excellent lattes and creative signature drinks like their Almond Joy specialty beverage, all served with genuine warmth in a gorgeously decorated space that feels both welcoming and energizing. Street parking can be tight, but once you find a spot, you've got the ideal setup for productive mornings, friend hangouts, or simply lingering over a really good coffee.”

Great place to study, good coffee and sandwiches. Parking is an issue (This is just the nature of this neighborhood) but if you can find some it’s a good option to go. They serve you fast, so if you’re just interested in coming in and grabbing a coffee then it’s perfect. Would absolutely recommend.
Edit: Edit: This is a Good place to go, too. I like you guys & I like coming here. It’s Strange because I gave yall a 5 Star Review, only for me to be ignored, dismissed, treated badly today. That wasn’t cool. And, it’s not okay. And, makes me feel uncomfortable to return…… It was bad energy and inconsistent vibes and customer service. I have to stand up for myself. And, I will always stand up for myself. It makes me feel uncomfortable that I pointed out one of the dudes treatment and he continues to be mean towards me and dismissive…..I don’t think I’ll be returning to this location, unfortunately. I know I’m a lady and deserve to be treated respectfully. I smiled at him to show friendliness, only to be met w an angry and serious look…. So, I’m getting punished for standing up for myself here, for the bad vibes I’m getting, that I don’t deserve, in the first place, from this person who works here. Handing my drink to me, without any engagement and walking away fast, without looking up to me was mean. This all was manipulation. . . Edit: One of the dudes was being a little mean to me. . . Note: Please don’t be mean, I am for you guys :) . . I did appreciate the free drink when I came here. Nick was also cool and yes I’ve been a long time fan of Lestat’s. Love the young lady that works here, too. Edit: Ok. I went back and Honestly, this is a great cafe. Instead of 2 Stars, I gave 4. But, it deserves a 5. I took 1 Star out coz I said “Bye” when I left and felt dismissed. . . in that moment coz I was ignored. ;p Or, when one of the dudes made me wait a little when I was ready to order. I do not condone this. But, he has been sweet, as well. And, is very hard-working. This place deserves a 5 star, overall. And, the employees have been cool with me (so far :3) and shown a welcoming and friendly interaction, as well, and are interesting people. :) I appreciated the effort made and respectful convo given today. I acknowledge the efforts. But, I have to stand up for myself about the other stuff, too. Old Review: Just wanted to share… that I know it’s been smoothed over and all. But, I want to write this review for the Manager or Owner, (I think he was one or the other ) Just a message to him to Please keep things professional, not letting emotions escalate because I did feel uncomfortable with the interaction I had with him, at first, even if it was smoothed over. …But, I don’t want to have another one that would cause any discomforts. This is a great, indie cafe…And, the 2 people I have interacted w her one of very hardworking and the other gal is sweet. And, so I appreciate your business and would just like to keep things respectful and professional moving forward. Thank you for your business.
A cool place to come work, chat with a friend, read a book or just chill and enjoy a beverage from their extensive menu. I had the Almond joy which gave me the flavors I wanted without being overly sugary, syrupy sweet. The breakfast frittata was delish. Not a dessert place, but you can find something to satisfy your sweet tooth. Most everything made fresh by them.
Latte was perfect, service fast and friendly. Highly recommend coming here to enjoy a cup of coffee very chill atmosphere.
Excellent experience. Lattes were really good. Baristas were friendly and welcoming. Decor is gorgeous.
