Description

Lester's would be the newest little coffee shop in Wynwood only if it weren't also true that it's the newest little bar in the arts district as well. Stylishly simple, the décor includes a wooden bar, tables with chairs, a small green couch, and a hipsterrific wall of mustaches. Lester's is not only a comfy spot for the arts crowd to eat and drink, but also it's a great place to catch poetry readings and buy arts and poetry journals and intellectual-type magazines. Prices are more than affordable, with a single shot of espresso costing only $1.75. For lovers of a bit of caffeine with whipped cream, a café con panna ($2) will bring perky pleasure. And beer drinkers will be pleased with the substantial selection. From a Narragansett lager ($3.50) to a Stone Arrogant Bastard ale ($13.50), there's a taste available for the frugal boozer and the staunch connoisseur. Wine is available by the bottle or glass, including Borgo "M" Pinot Grigio ($22.50/$9) and a La Maialina Super Tuscan "Gertrude" red ($43.50/$11). Happy-hour drinks are 15 percent off Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 p.m., and if you have thirsty friends, a bucket of six beers is $15. For a snack, the Cuban PB&J ($6) turns a lunchbox classic into a local favorite with peanut butter and guava jelly on Cuban bread. Vegetarians will enjoy a spinach bulgar wheat wrap ($6.50) and baked garden and root veggie chips ($3.50). Tuna and egg salad sandwiches also are on the menu ($6.75) for a boost of protein.
