    I can't see anyone giving this place anything other than a 5 star. The staff is great, the restaurant is bustling with people but yet still roomy. The patio is encased with live greenery and music playing in the background. The selection of coffee and teas are second to none. I did see they offered breakfast but this visit was about the turkey club sandwich. Absolutely loved the sandwich and my choice of fries were perfect. I strongly recommend this place for everyone to try out. I know I'll be back

    Came here after playing pickleball in a group of 6 on a Sunday afternoon, and we had a great time. I ordered the Pear Thee Well matcha and shared a chocolate croissant with my boyfriend, who ordered the latte. We gave into ordering some fries later on as well, since one of our friends ordered some, and we liked the seasoning on them a lot. Our server was nice and the decor was really cute. Indoor and outdoor seating was available.

    Absolutely the ideal coffee and brunch spot of your dreams- excellent service, lots of nice seating both indoors and outdoors, and an extensive menu! The yogurt bowl was fresh and tasty, the chicken and waffles were YUM (seriously perfectly seasoned and crispy chicken!!), and the iced horchata latte was DIVINE! Will definitely be back if I'm in the area.

    $15 bowl + tax for this tiny tablespoon of yogurt. Way overpriced, learned my lesson ordering to go from here

    Indoor seating

    I really enjoyed my first visit to Ascension! I came on a Friday afternoon at around 3:30, and it wasn't too busy. The space is very spacious, bright, and welcoming. It was decorated for the holidays, which made it even cuter. There were a mix of people socializing and studying/working. Indoor seating includes booths, standard seating, and couches. The booths weren't the most comfortable, but it was okay for a short stay. There is also outdoor seating available. I ordered an Iced Hibiscus Flirt tea and the Latin Chicken + Grain Bowl. First off, the bowl was INCREDIBLY GOOD. I was worried the sauce would be too spicy, but it was perfect. The tea was as expected and refreshing, but I wouldn't recommend for anyone wanting a sweeter drink. The service was really quick, but then again it wasn't that busy. Half of the parking lot is self-park and the other half is valet. There was plenty of parking available when I went. Overall, I enjoyed my first visit here, and I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    Ascension in Design district is our go to breakfast spot. It gets crowded but the food, bakery and drinks do not disappoint! You also rarely need to wait for a table because the space is so large.

    We are here having a hot and an iced buko pandan coffees. Delicious. Def be back. Prices are reasonable for DFW. Beautiful interior and front garden too. Note. They do steer you to a table for Tips because they say right when you walk in that they're full service.

    Spacious coffee shop restaurant that's just off the freeway. Quiet enough to find a corner table to work, but cute enough to meet up with friends for a breakfast date. The food is solid - great sandwiches and breakfast finds.

    has such a cozy, welcoming vibe--perfect for a relaxed coffee or casual meal. The service was great and impressively fast, which made the experience even better. Prices felt very reasonable for the quality. The food was also great I tried some items I usually would not eat.

    Honestly, we were pretty disappointed this weekend. Having had good experiences at the uptown ascension, we decided to try this one. It's. A pretty space with indoor and patio seating. On a sunday at 10, we were seated right away but food took almost an hour to come out. For an establishment to advertise brunch I think the kitchen should be able to keep up with peak brunch demands. Our food was lukewarm and it was ok but not great; the Benedict was just on a raw piece of bread. The breakfast potatoes were undercooked and bland and lukewarm. The pancake sweet potato special was quite yummy but it was very expensive for a single flat smallish pancake. The bacon was thick and good. Sorry for the half-pictures but we were starving.

    Pancake. Spring flight. Aussie Bacon & Egg Roll but with a Starship Everything Bagel. Sausage Cheddar Sandwich.

    Feel in love with this spot. Honestly I was nervous looking at the photos. We were promptly sat at a table. Folks in all sorts of clothing. Decent service. The feel was cute like you could relax but with a good speed of service. The guy who made my Spring coffee flight was so friendly and happy. The strawberries and cream cold latte was great. The very berry was a bit weird. The cereal milk was not sweet what so ever. It was honestly bitter but it wasn't bad after I added some sugar. I got my sandwich on an everything bagel. So good considering I wanted to try the starship bagels already. I'm glad I got to. So good.

    I've been here a hand full of times and never regretted it. Coffee and food is always great! I love the ambiance, it's always booked and busy when I've gone!

    You could order anything from this menu and be so happy! All of the food options are delicious and flavorful. Our group loved the espresso cruffin, cali burrito and the Japanese style coffee that takes 12 hours to brew! The atmosphere is artsy and inviting, plenty of space inside or on the patio. The service was a bit slow, but expected at breakfast time on a Sunday. Smiling happy faces from all the staff.

    What is in the pane aria sandwich? I can't find it on my menu but it looks amazing!

    They have 2, an Spicy Italian and a Chicken Mancheco. It is made with an Italian bread found in Italy. I've had the Chicken Mancheco, it's been a while. But I've never had a bad meal at this establishment.

    I absolutely fell in LOVE with this coffee shop in the city!…read more My friend and I decided that after lunch we would find a nice coffee shop to sit and enjoy the rest of our work day! We were on the hunt for a place that had a lot of seating, a good coffee menu and also sold pastries, and Otto's checked off all the boxes! I always say that when you are able to find front parking, also, you are exactly where you are meant to be, and somehow some way, we found just that! We both ended up ordering their wedding cake latte, that we later found out that changes colors based on whatever wedding they are hosting in the hotel they are located in. HOW COOL! The latte was FANTASTIC! I love when a coffee shop serves it in glass when you are deciding to sit for a bit! It felt so welcoming! I also decided to order their pound cake which was FANTASTIC! SO moist and perfect with my latte! However, the true star of the show has to be the ambiance! It's located in downtown in the Adolphus hotel and it is STUNNING inside! You truly get a city coffee shop experience at OTTO's! They had plenty of chairs and tables, as well as plugs! Which made our visit that much more great! Overall, I highly recommend it, and I will definately be back!

    We came here for breakfast while staying downtown, walkable from the hotel which was a big plus. I…read morewould not recommend driving here, parking is a nightmare. Walk if you can. Coffee was decent, nothing to rave about. My cappuccino was served in a paper cup which I was not thrilled about. We were eating inside, not taking anything to go, so there was no reason for that. Paper cups influence the flavor of a hot espresso and I drink mine with no sweeteners specifically because I want to taste the actual shot. The espresso was also slightly burnt, which tells me the machine needs a good cleaning. Iced coffee is a different story but for hot cappuccinos, ceramic makes a real difference. My husband's coffee was good though and he was happy with his. Breakfast sandwiches were the toaster style, similar to what you'd expect from a place without a full kitchen. I genuinely enjoyed mine. My husband was not impressed by his. Overall it was a good enough time. We would not go out of our way to come back but if we were in the downtown area and needed a reliable spot in a pinch, we would stop in again. P.S. My ratings are based on whether I believe I could make a better or healthier version at home. If food/drinks/service impress me, I'll be happy to come back. If not, the stars reflect that.

    Had all my usuals so I forgot to take pics but they consistently exceed expectations!…read more Ordered the tequenos and they brought out a delish green sauce to try! It was good! I'll always be a fan of the red sauce but the green was a good alternative if you don't do spicy. Ordered the egg and cheese arepa. Consistently delish! Service was outstanding. My glass was never empty and they were super polite. They are a true Latin American culture place so just don't be in a hurry. The restaurant itself is so quaint.

However, disappointing that at the end when paying by card, they did not allow us to see an itemized receipt, and the bill was higher than expected. After reading more reviews about this place, seems like this is common occurence unfortunately. Also, they INCLUDED TIP, which was not super apparent, and our party was less than 6 so unsure why a tip was included initially. Otherwise, the food was good and filling. The strawberry smoothie was not the best though, so would not get that again. the sweet plantains were great though. Although the food was good, I would not return because of the deceiving way that add a tip and do not allow customers to see itemized receipts.
