Dessert at the Aster Cafe - Perfect+

While meandering around this past Friday night we noticed the dessert menu posted outside the Aster Cafe.   The brownie ala mode (with ganache AND caramel, of course) and lemon pie drew us in.

The place was hoppin', but General Manager Rick Oknick was kind enough to secure a table for us on the patio.  Our desserts did not disappoint.  The lemon pie was very similar to a key lime (my fave).  And the brownie?  Well, the brownie was perfect all by itself, but adding the other three components kicked it up to perfect+.

Check out Aster Cafe on their website and Facebook.  In addition to good food, they have live music, open mic nights, host the Books & Barsseries and more.  Look for an Oktoberfest celebration next weekend.
