Hester's Cafe Lamar Park

Awesome menu, great portion sizes, super yummy.

I went for a meeting and knew I was going to get a cinnamon roll, naturally they were out. 😭 The ladies at the counter talked me into a cherry almond coffee cake....y'all it was amazing!!

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Their bakery is good, I recommend their glazed cinnamon buns and their cupcakes, simply delicious! I can't say the same about their coffee and espresso, though. Simply not good, so that is a downsize of this place. Maybe this could be one of the areas that they can improve soon.
On regards social distancing, there were no measures in place, besides some of the customers using masks (their employees used them all the time). The place was packed and understaffed around 9:00AM, but still a nice environment, considering that there is some shared outdoor space. Pets are welcome at this shared space.
Place is a little bit overpriced. To-go orders use aluminum which could be dangerous for consumption, specially in the Omelet. It sticked to the food and it broke easily, so I spent my entire breakfast dealing with it making sure to recover the small pieces that were adhered to my food. Apart from that, some of their packing was not recyclable. So, they are not very green friendly on that side, at least with the to-go orders. I would recommend them to use more environmental friendly packing in the future.

For the rest, I think this is a great place for bakery and I look forward to come in another moment to check if they made improvements with their customer experience! Thank you very much guys!

Used to like Hesters but today. Breakfast was substandard. Potatoes were cold, and so was the toast. Hot chocolate was warm. Maybe they were having a bad day but it wasn't real busy.

Well extremely disappointed, I don’t eat breakfast, so I immediately saw Reuben on the menu, so ordered that without reading the menu, because I expect the basic ingredients in a Reuben… you don’t order a menudo and get a canned corn and tripe diced up. I got sliced corned beef and red cabbage with mustard, missing sauerkraut and thousand island… extremely dissatisfied

Fresh food, quick and clean service. A little on the expensive side, but it's to be expected to dine out these days. Everything is made to perfection. It's very busy 11am - 12:45pm and it's rather noisy. Recommend going to a late lunch for a more quiet dine in experience.

WOW!!!! What an absolute gem!!!! Everything was beyond good, I cannot wait to go back! A must try when you're in Corpus! Scott is part of the waitstaff that brought our food out and he definitely made a wonderful impression on our table! He was so happy and genuine, a treat to have had him checking on us. And the food.... wow, anything I say about it would be an understatement! 10/10!!!!

Delicious healthy and non healthy lol options love the outdoor seating always get great service!!

Cute little place with good food. I liked the inside decorations and atmosphere. The food came out fast too!

The food is good but it's the atmosphere that makes the place great!
