The Classic Avocado Toast was pretty standard--you can definitely taste the lemon zest (a bit much for me personally), and the chili flakes gave it a nice kick. Service: Great! So great that the workers said "Welcome" even though no one came in, lol. Ambiance: Casual, modern, minimalist. Parking: Ample parking. Located in a plaza.

Had the worst toast I've ever paid money to eat at this location…read more My matcha is always good here but they also didn't fill up my cup all the way which was a little disappointing. The bread was paper thin. barely any avocado spread. the burrata was sparse and they put the burrata liquid that the cheese comes in on the toast? so much that the toast was dripping when I picked it up. Service was fine except the same toast in question sat ready on a side counter for about 5 minutes before a staff member realized it was there and called my name/put it on the pickup counter. Location looks like all the others but is very small- little to no seating inside and cramped waiting area.

I love the Ascension Coffee at The Star, so I was excited about coming to this location. Apple Maps…read moretook me into a parking garage even though there is a ground-level parking lot, so keep that in mind if you are coming for the first time! The place has a variety of seating, is clean, and isn't too loud. There were a lot of people studying and working. I didn't have the best experience. They had their Fall drinks written on the menu and then after explaining to me what the Johnny cakes latte tastes like, they told me it wasn't available until Tuesday, which was misleading. I tried to order a seasonal peach tea drink, and they told me they were out of it. At this point, I was frustrated and got the golden latte, which tasted awful. It was so ginger-y and not smooth at all. It tasted like the equivalent of a tough-to-get-down juice shot. I ordered a breakfast veggie sandwich, which wasn't bad, but my friend and I both ordered it for dine-in, and for some reason mine came out in a to-go box. This was super odd and there wasn't an apology or anything. The sandwich was okay - the avocados weren't ripe yet and were kind of hard. The brioche was good, but $10 for something I could throw together at home in 5 mins was unimpressive. Overall, I won't be back. Ascension in Frisco has seriously the best service, with an expanded menu, and coming here was so subpar and disappointing.

Chairs aren't the most comfortable but this place is so busy I would feel bad camping out anyways. I got something off of their seasonal and it was fantastic. Very messy and sticky but super tasty.

Stopped by for an event and ordered the mango sticky rice matcha since I love the traditional mango…read moresticky rice dessert. If you're someone who finds traditional matcha a little too strong or grassy, this is a great option. It was lighter, fruit-forward, and the mango flavor came through nicely. The pastry case also caught my attention--everything looked fresh and incredibly tempting. I didn't get a chance to try any this visit, so I'm looking forward to trying some of the pastries next time. Overall, a nice spot for a lighter matcha drink and worth checking out if you're looking for something a little different. Staff was sweet and organized as they were a bit busy.

Trisha took my order and was super awesome at making many great recommendations while Miriam cranked the beverages for the people ahead of me. Loved the GF option for an almond loaf. This reminds me of a wonderful home cafe mixed with a nice southern coffee shop. They even have seating outside for a beautiful day like the day I went. Very Austin vibes. Seating options are from regular wood bench to a cozy couch. Loved the live plants that add fresh air and a nice atmosphere. They had low playing music that was very urban so you can carry a conversation while supporting smaller artists and working on work. Headphones if you'd like your own music would be great and wouldn't be interrupted with the music playing in the shop. Biscoff caramel latte: Wonderful flavor of coffee. I was fearful it'd be too sweet but it was perfectly sweetened. The Biscoff crumbles add the Biscoff flavor and the caramel isn't overpowering. It's a soft balance of the two together. The foam was pleasant and would recommend hot. Personally would love a stronger Biscoff flavor cause Biscoff is my favorite cracker. But other than that, a super solid beverage. Almond Loaf (GF): The crumble and moist texture were perfect. Not too crazy of a GF taste. Different but wonderful. The top has a crumble similar to Almond croissant that is so satisfying if you're craving a lil more sweet with your bite. Together: Wonderful together. The almond loaf isn't dense but it doesn't completely fall apart either. Super happy.

Every inch of the place is decorated with New Orleans/Mardi Gras themed decor. Lots of beads! I was a little surprised - they don't have a pitcher of milk or creamer for you, rather, a basket of room temperature creamer pods. They have a lot of frozen drinks for the summer months - remember granitas? They looked a little understaffed as the two staff members were hustling to assist the drive-through line, so I had a bit of a wait. I was pleased with the price - I got a large coffee for under $5, which is kind of miraculous these days.

I recently stopped by PJ's Coffee and ordered a small brewed coffee along with an order of beignets…read more(which comes with three). Let's start with the positives. The ambiance is nice, clean, and gives you a little taste of New Orleans. The decor is inviting, and the beignets were definitely the highlight of my visit. They were flaky, crispy on the outside, light and layered on the inside, and fried to perfection, not overly doughy. My order was ready in about five minutes, which was also a plus. Unfortunately, customer service is the reason I'm giving this location 3 stars. This was my second visit, and both experiences felt the same. The employees weren't welcoming, there wasn't much of a greeting, and no one offered to help explain the menu. The interaction felt more like a transaction than genuine hospitality. The menu itself is also confusing. Beignets aren't listed on the menu board, so if you didn't already know PJ's sells them, you'd never think to order them. A little guidance from the staff would go a long way, especially for first time guests. One thing I really value is good customer service. I always walk into businesses with a positive attitude, ready to support them, so it's disappointing when employees make customers feel like they're a burden. That kind of atmosphere makes people uncomfortable and ultimately makes them think twice about spending their money there again. As for the coffee, it was just okay. It was served hot, but there wasn't anything memorable about it, and it didn't taste particularly fresh. One suggestion I'd make is to serve the brewed coffee as soon as it's ready instead of waiting until the beignets are finished. I would have preferred to enjoy my coffee while waiting for the fresh beignets to come out. Overall, the beignets are absolutely worth trying, and the cafe itself has a nice atmosphere. I just hope this location improves its customer service because a warmer, more welcoming experience would make a huge difference.

If you aren't desperate for a caffeine fix, definitely get a Qamar al-din... it is so delightful, sweet, fruity, and truly refreshing! If I hadn't just come from lunch, I would have gotten something from the pastry case. For sure, I will have to come back and grab something next time. I think I just found my new favorite tea/coffee shop!

The Habibti latte came with rose and cardamom, and it was really good, very light rose flavor. The pistachio matcha was good too but I wish there was more pistachio flavor, since the rose flavor was more dominant. The default matcha latte comes with 3g of matcha, but you could pay $1+ more to get 6g of matcha as well. I would highly recommend :)
