Aster Cafe

Call Directions Website Contact the establishment

The Aster Cafe is located under the trees on the prettiest street in Minneapolis. Our menu is fresh (no deep fryers!) and inventive. So get down here!

Overlooking the mighty Mississippi river and the skyline of the city, the Aster is a candle-lit restaurant-bar with a sweet European patio. Live music, great brunches, craft beers and cocktails, and a thoughtful wine list add up to City Pages calling us the “best place to go on a first date”. We also have lovely spaces for events and weddings, which you can check out by contacting our Event Goddess.

Thank you to the Minnesota State Fair, Pryes Brewing Company, and First Avenue & 7th St Entry for having me and the band out to the West End Stage this weekend. We had a deep-fried good time on a stick.

This Friday, I’m joining my dear friend Emily LaPlant on stage for a one-time bluegrass, jazz, and folk show at Aster Cafe!

I hear it’s a great place to take your hot date.

While we certainly don't expect people clamoring to eat and drink on the patio, we did want to let everyone know that our outdoor seating will be operating as counter service only until the wildfire smoke passes. (Windows closed for indoor dining as usual.) Stay safe!
