You walk in and order at the counter then take a seat and wait for your food. I ordered the Duke Ellington and that ricotta pancake was AMAZING! it has a hint of lemon in it and I will be thinking about it all week. The bacon and eggs were cooked the way I like them. Over medium and crispy bacon. The California Crab Cake was soooo good. My fiancé got that and I too and bite and asked for a second bit because it was so good. The red potatoes as the side were good as well. I got the Hester Latte and I really enjoyed it. The triple coconut was too sweet for us but it tasted good.

I stopped in for brunch on a Saturday morning and was really surprised by the crowds, and the atmosphere of the restaurant. It reminded a lot of B Matthew's in Savannah, which if you know, is a good thing! I initially went for the croissants based on the recommendation, but ordered the Biscuits with Gravy in addition to a loaf of sourdough, a croissant, and a few back to school theme cookies to bring onto the kids! The biscuits and gravy was phenomenal, and I really liked how they added scrambled eggs to top them. This is something I've never seen before and the result was great! As far as the bakery items (croissant, sourdough, and cookies) I feel like my review won't do them justice because they weren't eaten until I got home a few days later. Bottom line, I will be stopping in at Hester's every time I visit Corpus going forward. A definitely must try!

Flavor was great but it was really tough. I understand it's day old croissants I just don't remember them being that tough. My husband ordered a full breakfast and it came out with 2 items missing. I asked to see the menu. It didn't come. The server brought out 1 additional item. I said it was still missing something and asked to see the menu again. Was told everything was there and my husband said it was fine so I let it go. He enjoyed the breakfast but the baguette piece of bread was a joke. One small slice. So he ate the croissant with his eggs. He didn't even use the butter or jam since there wasn't any bread for it. Then the bill came and we were charged for the drink that was supposed to come with it. We told the server. She said that the drink wasn't included. My husband said it was and asked her to see the menu again. No menu. She did go check and it was taken off. Once we got home I looked up the menu and yes the prosciutto I kept asking for was included and never given to him. Really disappointing. For the price this experience was a joke.
