I am the owner of Celisia Stanton Photography, and one of my clients had a brunch wedding at Aster Cafe last year. Aster Cafe is a fantastic venue for an intimate wedding. The getting-ready rooms have huge windows with tons of natural light, which allows us to capture indoor photos without struggling with awkward shadows or uneven lighting. Aster set up a tent and chairs next to the building for the ceremony, which had the ideal intimate outdoor feel. For the brunch reception, the inside of Aster's reception space has beautiful exposed brick and decor that allowed the client to have a reception space with a unique feel without having to add much as far as decoration. As a bonus, Aster Cafe is located in the heart of St. Anthony Main, so there were tons of beautiful areas nearby for the couple to sneak off for couple's photos. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for an intimate Minneapolis wedding with a unique city feel.
The food was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. I had the Brisket Grits, which was incredible. The restaurant is located in a great neighborhood right on the Mississippi River. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Love this place! Strong drinks!
I’ve eaten here. Several times food is great, service is exemplary, if you have the opportunity to sit outside your view is downtown Minneapolis over the river. Vegetarian options: Enough changing options to keep me happy. The staff is more than happy to work with you
Great music at brunch and after not visiting Aster cafe for very long time I’m still just as disappointed with their food and lack of flexibility. Great location, vibe and service they just need better food.
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.
