    You're here.

    Is this the most popular breakfast place in Marfa? All I can say is that it's the place that folks always recommend to me. I've been here before and I was here again. It's a tiny place that has an eclectic variety of choices and a cozy little patio. It was a nice start to the day.

    Very cute brunch place with good coffee and some amazing choices. Food came out very fast too. Would definitely be a regular if I lived nearby.

    Maybe the best scone I've ever had. So fresh and so full of berries. Not too expensive either.

    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!

    Hummus Bagel

    Unfortunately, Aster was not a hit for me at all. I tried the hummus bagel and I was very disappointed. The bagel was not toasted and all the ingredients felt like they were just thrown together. I also tried the iced Vietnamese coffee and it was watered down with little flavor. I would suggest checking out another local spot here in Marfa for food.

    The owner Phoenix was very kind and helpful and helped me get something with my dietary restrictions that was super delicious! This place is so cute and the outdoor area is shaded and has a really good ambiance. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone! Thanks for the great food and service

    Need a fabulous breakfast while you're in Marfa? Look no further than the quant and adorable Aster located right in the heart of town. During my recent visit, my friend and I stopped in for breakfast to fuel up for a day of visiting galleries. The staff was super friendly and helpful answering some of my questions about the delicious looking pastries I was unfamiliar with. Despite dining during a weekday, the small interior space was full of patrons and there was a steady stream of patrons during our entire visit. For my meal I opted to go with the bagel breakfast sandwich with breakfast sausage with a pan au chocolat and palmier on the side. My friend also got the breakfast sandwich and I'm pretty sure that neither of us said an entire word for the first half of breakfast as we were both too engrossed in our amazing sandwich to talk. To sum it up, if you're looking for the best breakfast in Marfa, look no further than Aster.

    Cute little restaurant with a few tables indoors and a few tables outside. They only serve breakfast and lunch, so get there before 2 pm. We arrived around 11:30 am and sadly they were out of bagels, which was what I wanted. Instead I ordered the eggs, bacon, and toast. Orders are taken at the counter inside and they bring the food out to you. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the jam for the toast was excellent. We sat outside under a crooked and gnarled mulberry tree and enjoyed the beautiful weather, then walked all over town visiting art galleries. Limited hours and limited menu, but nice breakfast. Peaceful location.

    This place was excellent and would be a regular for me in Austin. The hummus plate was a sizeable portion and I couldn't even finish it as one meal. I had added fresh feta to it and it was delicious. The sourdough with it was also excellent! The olive oil cake was out of this world tasty - and easily enjoyed by 2. The patio seating on the street offers a lovely view of the famous courthouse (climb it to the top for nice views and to work up your appetite).

    Bagel breakfast sandwich. Yum

    Delicious breakfast bagel with coffee. Everything bagel spread with a thonsprwad of outrageously good cream cheese (not my personal fav) heaped with eggs, cheese, and avocado. Good coffee - I would like it hotter. Sat outside in the crisp air. Pastries look divine

Even with a hustle, of it's busy or might be a 20 minute ordeal, so plan accordingly. They also have a delicious London Fog. I could drink that all day! Best cold brew Ive had in a while. They also have a wonderful selection of unique gifts.

    My first morning in Marfa called for strong coffee and something warm after an eight-hour drive the…read moreday before. Getting there, though, felt like stepping backward in time--partly paved roads, weathered buildings, and aging homes that quietly carry the town's long history. Then, almost abruptly, Sentinel Marfa appears as a striking contrast. The building is crisp and modernist, the kind of clean, intentional design you'd expect in a big-city neighborhood, not tucked into a rugged, historic West Texas landscape. Inside, that contrast continues. The high ceilings and open, airy layout give the space a contemporary calm, while scattered tables display local art, newspapers, and small curios that root it firmly in Marfa's creative spirit. A hallway beside the ordering counter leads to a quieter back room, which in turn opens to an outdoor area shaded by a massive oak tree. The place was buzzing, full enough that we ended up sharing a table with another family, which somehow felt fitting in a town like this. Coffee is ordered at the counter, with both staff and baristas displaying some of that West Texas charm and with a smile. Drinks are picked up at the counter while food finds its way to you. The coffee drinks are crafted with beans from Picacho Coffee Roasters. Straight coffee and lattes were exceptional, and the breakfast tacos, made fresh with fluffy eggs, cheese, and potatoes, delivered exactly what we needed. By the time we left, we felt not just caffeinated, but welcomed and ready to explore a place where time seems to move at its own deliberate pace.
