“Love this place! I come to study here all the time. Staff is super friendly, and they have EVERYTHING. Be sure to go to top floor, it’s better there in the bar area near the windows. You can see the Chicago architecture.”

“I visited Aster Hall and loved the clean, cozy, and modern atmosphere. Ordering was easy using the self-service kiosks. The restrooms were also clean and well-maintained. Overall, a comfortable place to dine, with a variety of menu options available.”

“Aster’s brain food, aptly called “Sweet Greens,” is a delightful blend that enhances any mood. I've included a photo from their kiosk to give you a better idea of what I’m talking about. #Gogreenplanet”

“Cute cozy cafe inside the building of the Bloomingdale’s store when you enter from Michigan Avenue. Hot matcha latter with some macadamia milk was absolutely delicious!! There are many sitting options around the area. It’s great to make a stop while you are walking on the Michigan Avenue or shopping at Bloomingdale’s . Loved it!!!”

“A perfect WFH location in river north! Aster Hall is tucked away in a mall and has such great/fun seating options (have to search a bit for seats with outlets though) and great drinks! I had a turmeric chai and it was made so well, and so quickly. The barista was super friendly and took our order personally which was appreciated! I’ll definitely be back to work sometime soon!”
