Aster Cafe

"This café is ok. Our server was not very friendly and she did not accomodate us to be closer to the window like we asked (we went in the afternoon and it was pretty dark inside). The cappuccino was good with a nice foam on the top. What they call flatbread is more like a tasty thin crust pizza. We tried the one with prosciutto and truffle. The prosciutto is cooked with the pizza not added after, like we were told by the server."

"Loved the vibe and food. It’s so cool to see people of all ages enjoying together and dancing on different beats. They have live music with very creative artists. A good place for Date to with your loved once. We tried different food there and all were amazing tasty."

"So much to love here... dive with fine dining... cafe vibes with the bistro menu... this place is really perfect for anyone. A tiny little footprint tucked away in the historic streets of St Anthony Main, if you haven't had the pleasure of exploring the area, it's worth the visit in that alone. The modest menu carries a variety of flavors from across the globe, great for both the traditional and the more curious eater. Never thought brisket and watermelon could be so good in a taco! A staple to the area, and one of the absolute best meals I've had. STOP READING NOW AND GO!! You won't regret it."

"We traveled across the Midwest for a week, eating at Supper Clubs, chains and family restaurants. Aster Cafe stands out for its fantastic atmosphere, quick service and delicious food. I can't say enough good things about the cozy and hip atmosphere. We weren't able to stay for the band that was setting up but we heard a bit of the tuneup and I wish we could have. The indoor area was hopping, outdoors was busy and there was even a reception in a secondary room next to the main restaurant (not sure if they were connected or not). It was fun to see such a busy spot along the river in such a fun space. We both had the Thai noodles, which were actually a little spicy (sometimes hard to find in the Midwest), and then enjoyed a delicious cocktail (for me) and a local craft beer (my friend), and I loved the menu's variety without being overwhelming. Wish we could have eaten there every night! What a great place!"

"Immaculate food, vibes, and music at this past Saturday’s Swing Brunch. I’ve been wanting to visit Aster Cafe for years, and I’ve heard great things about their musical brunches. I finally made a reservation for Sunday morning at 10:30 am. Music starts at 11, and I’d recommend arriving at 10:30, so that you have some time to chat with your dining party before the music starts. Everything at the swing brunch was perfect. I ordered the French toast bake, and my friend ordered the quiche. Both dishes were superbly baked and incredibly moist. The fresh toast bake was full of flavor, and the texture was superb. I tried my friend’s breakfast potatoes, and they were well-cooked and well-seasoned. The coffee was so pleasant too. Now, onto the vibes… The inside of the restaurant is dimly lit and elegant. It feels like a French brasserie. The bar is so beautiful too. The music only added to the French feel. It was upbeat and lively, and I loved the brass. A number of folks danced, and it was so fun to watch them float about the room. Each couple had a different style. Overall, I felt transported by the Swing Brunch. I’m the future, I’d love for them to host musicians on the outdoor patio as well for a different vibe. I’ll definitely be back!"
