Hester's - Lamar Park

Hester's offers a truly fresh and delicious experience. I had the Texas Turbo Brownie, and it was everything you could want in a dessert--rich, fudgy, and with just the right amount of espresso to give it a nice kick. The homemade pecan praline filling on top was a perfect touch. The staff was also incredibly nice, making the visit even more enjoyable. Looking forward to coming back and trying more yummy treats! Thank you!

Hesters has always been a favorite of mine. We came for Saturday brunch and I got the cheesy B.E.A.T. My boyfriend got the monte christi. The cheesy beat was good, but was a little soggy. If I got it again, I'd probably get a side of the queso instead of on top. However, the flavors were great. The monte christi sandwich was also really good. I loved it with the side of honey mustard. I also got an iced Hester's latte and it was perfect. It was super crowded when we came so it was kinda hard to find a place to sit and it can get pretty noisy inside when there's a ton of people there. Other times I've come I've had the Texas wave, house made granola, Hannah Savannah salad, California crab cake, and the Carmen pasta. I would recommend any of those! This is a great place to go for brunch, but expect it to take a while!

In town for a soccer tournament, and hungry for breakfast, the family and I googled nearby breakfast places. No chain restaurants, and something close by were the two criteria. Hester's it is. We pulled into the parking lot and strolled right in. Upon walking in, we see a quaint little cafe with a lot of patrons. Lots of folks talking, so we glanced around at the tables to see what the food looks like, and all of it looks delicious. This is a walk up to the counter, and they bring it to you sort of place. We looked at a menu and a nice fella in a Hester's shirt walked up to us and asked if we had any questions. He informed us of breakfast hours and when lunch started, and to let him know if we had questions. As we approached the counter to order, we saw a glass counter full of delectable looking desserts and cheesecakes. I was half tempted to skip breakfast and go for dessert. Eh, maybe next time. The wife ordered the Louis Armstrong, and I ordered the Duke Ellington with a griddle cake. The kiddo ordered eggs, bacon, and a "cloud cake." I asked what a cloud cake was, to which they informed me it was what they called a pancake. Wife ordered water, while the kiddo ordered a canned soda. I opted for an iced tea since it was refillable. We did not see any options for fountain drinks, so that was sort of a bummer. We returned to our table and waited for our food and conversed with our friends. The wait seemed a little longer than we had liked, but the place was busy, so no harm, no foul. Our food was delivered to our table and we got right to work. The wife was satisfied with her dish with no complaints. It was a pretty simple plate, so it was hard to mess up. My plate was delicious as well. No complaints. The kiddo enjoyed her plate as well. Only complaint was that they burnt the cloud cake. Had she not been so consumed with her conversation with her friend, I would have sent it back. She did not seemed too concerned it was burnt. That being said - it was not enough for me to deduct any stars from the visit. Next time, I will send it back, or request it not burnt when ordering. Overall, we all were pleased. Next time we are in this neck of the woods, we will return. I am going to try and go back for the cheesecake before we leave town. Highly recommend. Stop by and give them a try. Enjoy.

I do taste actual butter in Hester's scones - but sometimes the lemon extract is overwhelming. I can always tell when people use it instead of lemon juice. But if you are going to use it - less is best. If you put too much it is medicinal tasting, or taste like essential oils.

Ambiance and atmosphere has great energy However, turkey panini I definitely do not recommend. Tasted like an upscale hospital sandwich which can say a lot however not for $12-$15.

A cute cafe that is decent for breakfast or lunch. There is ample seating indoors or outdoors but it gets pretty packed so finding a spot or larger parties over 4 may be difficult. There is ample parking. The food is good but nothing amazing. Had a panini with avocado, bacon, tomato with chips. My mom had the chicken salad with a lemon poppy dressing. I tried the chicken salad and did not like it and my mom didn't finish it. While my good looked amazing it was just okay and I didn't finish it as well. I don't live locally so I doubt I will be back but I know my family has visited more than once. Give it a try! It's a very cute restaurant.

My favorite place in Corpus currently. I think this place is a perfect lunch spot/ place to get a something a little sweet and everything in between. We ordered eggs Benedict with pulled pork, cubano & a lemon tart. The lemon tart was amazing, so sooo so good. My husband loves his eggs Benedict. I wasn't too thrilled with the cubano because I wanted a traditional one but this was still so flavorful. My favorite part were the potatoes, they were so flavorful. We have been back since this visit and ordered a slice of key lime pie and ginger chocolate cookie. Both were delicious.

We come to this place to eat vegan all the time but I want to highlight the great coffee. They have pecan coffee. It is delicious. I forgot to take a photo. They had a caramel latte which was very good. The service is always top tier. The restroom and dining area are clean. It's wheelchair accessible.

Custer service and the different varieties of goods to pick from. Just wish their coffee was stronger and more flavorful.

Loved their gluten free options. Blue Sky sandwich is delicious. My husband had a crab cake sandwich. Crab cake was good. Bread was a bit dry.
