Hester's Cafe Lamar Park

I don't know that i would return. I asked for a turkey sandwich on GF bread as that's an option.. They brought me sandwich on regular bread. I so happened to ask if it was GF before touching it and the waitress said "no ma'am you need to specify that when you order" I advised to her that i did specify.... sigh.. They remade it to GF however i am CERTAIN they just swapped bread and there was cross contamination because I got sick anyways... Probably wont return anytime soon..

I always feel disappointed when I eat here! The bread is very small compared to there reg bread! But at least I don’t get sick!

Great atmosphere. Didn’t have a reaction.

It is a really cute place! I was a little disappointed that they no longer have gluten free dessert. They said they stopped carrying them. I had a salad and it was really good! They didn’t have anything listed on the menu as gluten free.

I ate there on a Saturday morning in June and they were packed! The service was fast and friendly. They had a gluten free cheesecake called The Elvis that was really good, and gluten free toast. I got the Louis Armstrong breakfast, which was eggs, potatoes and bacon with GF toast. It was good but not worth the 20 mile drive from Port Aransas. I was disappointed that they didn’t have GF waffles or other pastries. The good news is that I’m celiac and didn’t get sick!

They have gluten free bread and their chips are gluten free. They ask if it’s an allergy or preference. I wish they had GF marked on the menu.

El campo scramble gluten free with gf potatoes Swiss cheese and veggies. Great gf white toast with fresh fruit on the side. Lattes are wonderful. Outdoor patio is cute with lots of green plants, a fountain and little black birds chirping all over. Fiancé and I are both celiac, they took our food as an allergy and were very confident in making it. Obviously it was not their first time. Lots of bacon options. He got a goat cheese bacon omelet with some sort of garden red hot sauce on top. He loved it. Order at the counter then sit down and they bring it to you. Coffee shop cafe. In a cute little boutique strip mall.

They no longer have gluten free pasta, but substituted quinoa. Luckily I’m not celiac or it would have been a real issue when they served me with bread on my plate. Food was good otherwise.

Geat gluten free options and the staff knew to be careful . Also. The gluten free banana , chocolate and peanut butter cheesecake is amazing !

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Can do omelettes gluten free. The Corpusburg was delicious. The breakfast potatoes are baked and also gluten free. They also have pasta and cheesecake. Friendly service and cute place.

They have a gluten free pasta dish (the Isabella) & some baked items. The pasta dish tastes great & uses a quinoa based pasta. Great coffee. I saw on the menu they had GF bread.
