    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

    Fried chicken and waffles

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Sweet potato pancake

    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.

    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.

    Pancakes

    I came back a third time for an in dining experience and it was excellent. Coffee? Fabulous. Pancakes? Phenomenal! So basically don't do takeout is my lesson learned.

    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 came here to sample their elotes cart, rickity little thing sitting out front of the beer and…read morewine convenience store. They also have a gas pump that is most always cheaper than the city average. I'm not sure what the average clientele is here because it's kind of randomly situated on Harry Hines, where the car shops and dingy motels are. Anyway, when I asked for some elotes at the cart, they looked like they had seen their first customer ever! Total surprise! The lady and the man behind the cart didn't speak english very well but good thing I know my way around ordering elotes! At $3 for a cup, this place probably had the most expensive elotes around. The prices aren't labeled anywhere so I have a fishy feeling that they just charge whatever to whoever they feel like. Ingredients were also subpar. The corn is probably from a can, sitting for however long in heated pot. Although I asked for everything on the elotes, I think this place only puts mayo and cheese on top. And only two choices of hot sauces which have questionable shelf life. I'm not expecting a sterile environment when I'm around an elotes cart, but the folks who worked there had dirty clothes and their cart didn't look that clean either. Elotes themselves were pretty chewy and not very good. And from the looks of it, they don't get much business, so who knows how long their inventory has been sitting around. Oh gosh I'm now really regretting that I ate it.

I walked straight up to what I was looking for, but to my surprise they were out of the flavor I needed. I walked around some more to see if maybe they are in another area but didn't find anything. So I walked up to the front to ask, and it turned out they do have more but they are alllll the way at the top lol! The associate told me that she would get someone with some equipment to get it down... So then I start the wait game, atleast 10min. Go by then another 5 or so go by, I see the same associate walking around, smiling with coworkers, while I stand in the same place waiting on her. Needless to say NO! she did not come back, to check to see if I had what I was looking for... I had to go and walk up to her again to ask if anyone was coming. Smh. She walked away to get some help, but not before telling me that someone did get the liquor but got the super big bottle instead.. but if that's the case.. why didn't anyone say anything and just let me stand there! So eventually they came with the machine and got the liquor down. Honestly it could have been an in and out trip, but instead I was inside probably 20min. Or more. Yes, ofc I'd go back because I always have a good / alright experience... but I'm going to stick to the other location instead.

I asked if he could just leave and I'll buy the wine and they said no. They made it extremely difficult to buy two bottles of wine and we've never encountered this before. Stephanie, the female manager could've easily handled it, but instead she lost a lifetime customer. Sidenote, they allow vendors to offer samples without carding customers. Stephanie said that's not her problem because they don't work for Total Wine & More. They have been doing this for four years. And also, we've never heard of the group policy where they card everyone in your group until today. But today, Stephanie decided to go on a power trip.
