Best WLM Reviews
This place is soo cozy and cute in the wintertime
After only visiting years ago on their beautiful patio in the summertime- I really liked the holiday vibes in here Perfect for a date night
HH deals from 4-6 pm, $5 house wines- they do give big pours but unfortunately I wasn't a fan of my red
I would try their sangria next time- pro tip they can make the sangria cold or hot!!
Charcuterie board was good
To start with the good, the cafe has an excellent ambiance inside and an outdoor seating area that I always see filled up. The staff also deliver good service.
However, the core of a restaurant is its food and drink, and this is, I think, where Aster Cafe is lacking. The food and drink weren't bad, but they were very middle of the road. They appear to focus on lighter items, so take that into account when planning your meal. Even before ordering, I realized nothing on their menu excited me. I had the roast turkey sandwich, which was decent, though the chips were mediocre. And the Manhattan was okay as well. I would come back here if a friend wanted to go, but I would pick something else if it were up to me. Not quite worth the money.
The food looked amazing!! The only thing I got was The Mirage ($9). It tasted so good!! I wish I got more because it smelled so good. The service was pretty fast and the servers were really nice and pulled up chairs at a table. We sat outside, and there were some bugs, but it was really nice! The table was clean, the chairs weren't sticky. The chair was a bit uncomfortable on my lower back, but I ADORE the design of them.

The drink and food menu is also attached. (Updated as of 7/21/24)
The food was ok, nothing bad, but nothing great.
Atmosphere was very cute. Service was good.
I really enjoyed that they do swing brunches on Sundays, but I wish there was some lessons incorporated- that would make it a million times more fun.
I really love the atmosphere of this place in both seasons: winter and summer. During summer I love to sit outside and enjoy the atmosphere. Winter it is excellent to watch the beautiful city.
All dishes are great. I recommend the spinach artichoke dip as starter, focaccia and street pasta are also delicious.
What a beautiful patio experience in the heart of Minneapolis! Every place on St Anthony Main was closed on Saturday early afternoon except for Aster Cafe. They have a beautiful and spacious patio which enticed us to come in and have a light hors d'oeuvre. Their menu was perfect for our purpose. A good collection of shareable appetizers and sandwiches if you wanted a bit more than that. We shared a spinach and artichoke dip and ordered cocktails and scotch lol
The bread that came with the spinach and artichoke dip was very good-- a light crunch on the crust and airy and bouncy inside. I had the Bahama Baby which tasted very tropical indeed and my bf had a couple of their margaritas. We also had a couple drams of Highland Park 12 which was reasonably priced at $14 only.
We saw the hummus trio pass by and would definitely order that next time, as well. The servers were very pleasant. Overall, very highly recommended.
Charming setting, great food and all around pleasant atmosphere. Right across the viewpoint of the falls in the Mississippi. Food prices are good, service friendly and quick. A great place to relax on a sunny Saturday morning! Many options with gluten and dairy free.
Amazing spot to check out specially after exploring down by the river. Amazing food with quality ingredients sourced locally, eclectic drinks. Great date night spot would definitely recommend.
