This little gem in Marfa was a big hit for my daughter and I! Conveniently located next to the Lincoln Marfa where we had stayed overnight. We wanted to get a good breakfast in since we were driving back to Dallas that morning. Food was excellent! My daughter loved the prickly pear lemonade and I enjoyed my chocolate coffee. We both loved our breakfast orders. My daughter got a plate of sliced toast, fig jelly, scrambled eggs, and bacon. I got the eggs benedict with bacon and a fresh side salad; Incredible food all around! If you have room, try out their bakery items as well. The chocolate chip cookie was my absolute favorite. You can tell it was made with love. Everyone who worked there was super nice to us and the patio area was lovely. Definitely would go back again when in the area!

The layout of the restaurant is cozy and welcoming, however the staff is dismissive and cold. The food took 45 minutes and it was not even that good. I mean if you like green bread and mushy meat, I bet you'd love this place, but you probably need help. I spent 22 dollars on a single burger and I regret giving money to this place. Ew.

We stopped by right before closing time and picked up some bagels to go and they were DELICIOUS. I was planning to save them for some sandwiches the next day but ended up eating most of them immediately or just snacked on throughout our day walking around Marfa. So fresh and a great taste.

The most delicious sourdough bread I have had in my 35 long life living in the US (and I truly know what a good bread should taste like). The owner of this cafe would make a fortune in New York City! And thanks to this bread the BLT sandwich was really delicious. My friend had an orange almond olive cake and it was heaven—delicate, moist, full of flavor. Aster cafe is a gem.

Pretty expensive place for the middle of nowhere Texas. Limited menu- and since I'm allergic to sesame I settled on their weekend special eggs Benedict with smoked salmon. Though pricey, it was actually the best eggs Benedict I've ever had (and I dont really like eggs benedict). That hollandaise sauce was fantastic. Space is really small though so sitting inside will be difficult during busy hours.

Friendly staff, they bring your food out to you. Ordered the two eggs and iced coffee. Sadly they don’t have mimosas anymore.

Amazing place! Ordered the jalapeño chicken sandwich, club sandwich, sesame and everything bagels with cream cheese, and the orange olive oil almond flour cake. Everything was dope. Sadly they’d run out of the sourdough loaf next time Aster!

Great place for breakfast in Marfa, TX. I like their patio! Service was great too!
We went for lunch. I agree with some of the other reviews that stated the food quality is good but low in quantity. Both the club sandwich and toasted ham and cheese were heavy on the bread and light with the meats. They ran out of mustard and seemed bothered that we asked for it.

Some of the best bread around. The sandwiches might not always hit you in the belly but their bread is phenomenal. Always working hard to get customers taken care of. Certainly worth checking out early for a bagel slathered in cream cheese.

Good food quality but low quantity. Be prepared that the full menu may not be available. I suspect that a lack of stocking their kitchen led to the light serving sizes. Don't expect table service, you stand in line at the cashier to order and clear your own table. Very cramped and dirty dining areas. If you like a glass of water with your meal, bring your own, they will sell you a can of it for $3.

Coleyworld approved! ?Cutest little breakfast spot tucked between two old buildings and had that old historical building structure kind of vibe. Breakfast was perfect but oh em geeee the sourdough bread and jelly were out of this WORLD.It’s the simple things.
