Why locals love it

This San Diego staple offers coffee, local art, music and stand up comedy all day every day no matter if it's a holiday or a rainy day (not that we get many of those). Locals love it for the big comfy couches, staff who know your name and order by your second visit, eclectic art, and, of course, the free wifi.

Why you should visit it

A relaxed coffee shop by day and an amazing venue for local artists to showcase their talents by night, Lestat's epitomizes the San Diego lifestyle. The clientele is primarily made up of regulars: college students, starving artists and business people all convene here, so it's a prime location to meet some locals to show you around the city.
