Simple way to solve it.

//Declare a variable Timestamp and assign the value timestamp from database

Timestamp timestamp = document['timeFieldName'];

//Use DateTime's parse method to convert back to DateTime

DateTime _time =DateTime.parse(timestamp.toDate().toString())

//Use this method to get the H:m of the DateTime. //You can choose the DateFormat you want.

String readTimeStamp(DateTime date)
  {
    
     var format =new DateFormat.Hm(); // My Format 08:00

     return format.format(date);
  }
