ConstantinMay 9, 2017They have great combination of coffee and food. You can come for a cup of late and have a very nice lunch or breakfast. ☕️ Parking. There is valet parking or self parking behind-ish the building.
Erik CintronAugust 2, 2016Nice little coffee shop. It has great coffee and service. Outdoor seating and it's has its own parking. Simple organic food in the morning and turns into a wine bar at night. Off the highway.
Josiah David ChapmanJanuary 22, 2018Quality coffee, friendly service, delicious eats, and a business friendly environment complete with a quaint, dog-friendly patio at the store’s front. Very modern. Definitely an uptown aesthetic.
Try the iced cortado - espresso, milk and a touch of simple syrup shaken and served on ice. Delightful pick-me-up. The avocado toast is a hit here, too.
- Lee DiazJune 21, 2018A perfect spot in the industrial district to get your caffeine fix and grab a bite. The Wi-Fi is strong just in case you need to knock out a little work. But parking can be tough, so be patient.
- Meredith WarrenSeptember 8, 2018A trendy, cozy spot to grab a cup of coffee and a bite to eat (the avocado toast is delicious!) It’s also a perfect place to hop online and do some work away from the office. Note: Parking is scarce.
Unarguably the best coffee in Dallas. And it's located in the Design District, one of the city's more overlooked areas. Phenomenal staff who really know what they're doing!
Great new coffee shop! The food is really good and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable about their product. It's a comfortable atmosphere that is classy without trying too hard.
C ReyFebruary 14, 2016A place where coffee and food dreams come true. Service staff was friendly and willing to make suggestions. Whether you're looking for sit down meal or quick coffee to go this place is worth a visit.
ShabakaMarch 16, 2013Chai latte is spiced right! Beautifully matched music and friendly service make this a definite repeat! Sit outside with friends!
Michael CNovember 18, 2019Be brave an order the daily special. Push your boundaries and live a little. Order some food. Hang out and contemplate your new coffee experience.
Ellen BensonFebruary 15, 2014I cannot speak highly enough about Ascension coffee. They have all the knowledge but no pretense and have been beyond helpful in my coffee education. Packed house every time.- JenKuduApril 25, 2016Hands down, THE BEST lavender latte I've ever had. I've had them all over the U.S. and Ascension wins. The meat and cheese board is delicious too.
Michael MicoJune 6, 2014This place is very trendy, the man at the counter was very friendly and had a small conversation with me. He had glasses, idk his name, but he's very friendly.
Jim BaileyJanuary 3, 2017Beautiful espresso with nice chocolate notes and fruity finish. Expressed well in a cappuccino with a simple breakfast.
Brady FranklinNovember 10, 2016Good place to come and work or hold meetings. Full service tables with food and coffee or take it to go.
- Ellen BensonFebruary 15, 2014Also, best service in a coffee shop goes to Henry with his million dollar smile, inclusive attitude, and the joy you can tell her gets from talking coffee everything.
NatalieJuly 27, 2016Craft coffee. Their central blend is great and their eggs benedict is delicious.
Alicia TJanuary 22, 2016The bread pudding wasn't my thing but everything else was great. Nice atmosphere. Great service.
Tia DanielleFebruary 18, 2017French toast. It was some of the best I've ever had. And the vanilla latte was so good.
Lisa JamesJuly 20, 2015Ascension was great! Very busy but it's understandable given how great the coffee is and how fun the atmosphere was.
Get the caramel frapp! Delicious heaven in a tall glass with a wafer cookie on top!
TammySeptember 3, 2018The 15 spice chai latte has great flavor but too expensive at $5 for 12 oz. I think it may have to do with them using hemp milk. Also could be a lot hotter in temperature
Jose OchoaJune 3, 2015I love their cold brew. For a while they had Onyx Labs Colombian coffee and that was amazing.
Karthik GurumoorthyMarch 8, 2015Either you can find a seat and order or grab a to go. Coffee of course was good. Hip atmos.
Emmanuel LopezSeptember 8, 2013When paying via the iPad remember to leave a tip. It's really easy to skip that step and since they are nice they won't remind you! #TipYourServer
Michelle LoraOctober 18, 2015Seriously blew me away. Almond Latte is on my top ten list in the country and that's saying a hell of a lot!
SityGrl ✈️☕️💄August 26, 2015Friendly neighborhood coffee stop, local eatery. Great wine choices as well!
Great spot for meetings over coffee or tea and...you can get your hair cut while you're here. Who knew?
Some of the best coffee in Dallas. Helpful staff will guide your through all the options.
Josh BakerAugust 25, 2014Great coffee. Doesn't have the Starbucks bitterness, but they also don't have the variety of flavors. Croque Madame was good.
The iced coffee here is mind-blowing. Do yourself a favor and give it a try.
Marty BApril 21, 2013If you're looking for something sweet with a caffeine zip, order a chocolate frappe!
Anand DhanasekharanJanuary 28, 2018Easily the best coffee in Dallas. The smoked salmon hash is yummm 😍
Etienne PApril 15, 2013If you are going to sit at the tall tables across from the "slow bar", bring a hoodie or a parka or something. The A/C blows right on you. Brrrr!
Try paninis for lunch! They are truly amazing! And tea, tea is very good. Love this place :)- Luci LopezFebruary 20, 2016You have to try the Chicken Manchego Panini. So, so crispy and lots of flavor.
Sirus OrndoffFebruary 12, 2015I think I had the best cafe mocha of my life here. If only I could supersize ....
Sayat DeliceOctober 28, 2014Real italian espresso 👍 Nice people, good service, cigar humidor, croissants ...
Craig J.April 12, 2014The Croque Madame eggs Benedict with Hollandaise sauce is a delicious breakfast!
Dallas ObserverFebruary 26, 2014"The space maximizes the use of natural light; making it made for sunny and cloudy days a like."
- Abigail CarriganJuly 23, 2017Tried a guest espresso tonic. If you like tonic water, then this is a winner!

"The cold brew is great - hands down! The crème brûlée latte is one-of-a-kind also. They torch the top for some crunchy goodness!"
Tam Nguyen - 9.1
"Everything is good. Mornings they serve a limited amount of breakfast tacos, their pastries are good too. You can upgrade your espresso to a select batch"
Keaten Welch - 8.2
"It's huge and it has a professional feel to it. The trolley stops right in front of it. There's a patio and free WiFi. I will say that the WiFi is somewhat spotty but it's a great place to meet."
