Hestia Cafe

Dropped in for the first time on Mother’s Day at lunchtime and they were pretty busy. Fortunately, we managed to get a table. There were probably only 3 to 4 staff so service was a little slow but not overly bad. They do have the usual Kiwi style breakfast and also the traditional style Vietnamese food and drinks. The Vietnamese coffee was great however it would be nice to serve with an extra side of hot water as the condensed milk might seem overly sweet for some. Food was tasty and generous portions which we ended up taking some home. There are 2 toilets available and I have to say that they are pretty clean. The only letdown were the flies. We are nearing winter and there were easily around 10 flies buzzing around, so I would expect summer to be much worse. This would be something that’s easily taken care of so would definitely be back for more meals.

Very clean, big portions with an affordable price, and friendly staff. Loved the iced matcha latte with whipped cream covered by matcha dust for $7.5, I recommended to leave for 5-10 mins to get to the iced cold temperature. Beef noodle soup is very good, generous portions for me and even my toddler to share. She slurped to the last drop.

Peaceful piano music was very relaxing. This place has quite an insane menu - they literally have everything. It’s got all the canteen type food pies, chips fried chicken burgers etc then it also has all day breakfasts and a sirloin steak, plus a full range of Vietnamese delights! Plus shakes and smoothies - something here for everyone - and at friendly prices. Great for a family lunch basically!

Was there during quiet time not much client around. Choice is slots plus u can have up 10pax sitting if you are having family gatherings since they do have more food choices for rice , noodle or sandwich type. I had Vietnamese spicy noodles which were sort of expensive due to the portions is big and can be up to 2 pax sharing if u are a small eater. It call spicy but not spicy for me as . Cleaning I would say depends as some people save it very clean but unfortunately I was there when the table wasn't really clean and oily which I don't think it's a big if your purpose is to eat and go . I did not wait that long as I got my order in 10min and left in a hurry as well.

Indulge in the finest iced mocha in town priced at $6.80, boasting a perfect balance of sweetness and unparalleled flavor! It’s the ideal kickstart to your day. The noodles come along with generous amount fresh herb. Plus, the service is exceptional and welcoming. The café might not catch your eye from the outside, but trust me, it’s got all the goods, from great food to awesome service.
