San Antonio coffee drinkers can make like a chatty Gilmore Girl and relish a cup of free java at a local version of Luke's Diner, the iconic TV series' favorite hangout.

But you better zip over quickly to White Elephant Coffee Company (1415 S. Presa St., No. 107) as the 250 complimentary cups will only be available until noon today.

Fans of "Gilmore Girls" will get a shot of nostalgia along with caffeine in a setting reminiscent of the famed cafe where mom-daughter duo Lorelei and Rory would hang, fire quips and give Luke a hard time.

White Elephant is one of 250 locations across the country which have partnered with Netflix to transform themselves into temporary replica's of Luke's Diner. This includes special branded hats and aprons for the servers and special coffee cups bearing quotes from the series.

It's all part of a celebration of the Stars Hollow-set series both in conjunction with the 16th anniversary of the show's debut and as a promotion of the upcoming four-part revival.

"Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life," featuring most of the original cast, bows on Netflix Nov. 25.
