Ascendo

I am not impressed by "organic" whatevers but I do enjoy the hand made work that is usually associated with it. This place really nails it. The coffee was made with care, in real cups, the cinnamon coffee cake is just like my mother's recipe and it is always nice to see a place with a selection of board games.

The medium mocha was good. The chocolate sweet. The coffee above average. I think the price didn’t match the quality. $6.25 for medium mocha seemed a bit much. Be try kind customer service. Good attitude, clean shop.

This was such a chill coffee shop. I was helped by Christiana (sorry if I’m butchering your spelling) and she was so sweet, cheerful and chatty. Definitely made the experience better. I was headed out for a road trip back to Phoenix and needed a pickmeup. I ordered the new matcha latte, iced with two shots. It was a little weird I’m sure from the coffee but I loved the matcha, it was perfect. Anyway, Christiana deserves a raise, and I wish all the employees at the coffee shops I visit were as friendly as her.

I LOVE this coffee shop! My favorite thing about it is the fact that pretty much everything on the menu is organic, including the coffee & milk. They also make their own syrups in house, which are so delicious! I tried the vanilla bean today and it was so good (I highly recommend an almond milk latte with the vanilla bean syrup-so creamy and yummy! And they also make their own almond milk in house!).

You can just tell they put in the extra effort to make quality drinks & food, which I super appreciate. The staff is also always really friendly and the atmosphere is very warm and inviting.

Highly recommend! 👍

Really great coffee and espresso but kind of pricey. Definitely worth it.

Such a cute little coffee shop. The atmosphere is great and the staff are friendly. I ordered an Americano with their homemade Vanilla Bean syrup and it was delicious!! I also ordered a piece of the Quiche and shared the Spinach Brownie with a friend. They were both exceptional but the Spinach Brownie was to die for!

Legendary customer service, and gluten free muffins!

Had an amazing encounter with the manager who rang me up for the amazing gluten free muffins (this person with celiac really appreciates having homemade muffins that are both delicious and don't make me sick!)...I shared that the coffee I had wasn't that great. He insisted on offering me a free espresso beverage to make it right, and re-made the drink twice to make sure it was as perfect as could be.

Thanks, Ed! Well done! :)

Staff is nice and a great location. But my goodness the coffee is terrible. My wife and I decided to keep giving them a chance after how bad they were when first opened. The espresso and other espresso based drinks are so bad they finally made me appreciate Starbucks. I've had high hopes for them since they opened and they have continued to disappoint. I want to support our local businesses, but the espresso is so bitter it's not really consumable.

Owner is an accomplished barista with some awards under his belt. Staff is courteous and also know their craft. The beans are custom roasted and the coffee is excellent. The various pastries and muffins are all made daily. The gluten free muffins are amazing and light as a feather. Highly reccomend

Ascendo has just opened their Los Osos location in the last month and it is a long-needed addition to this town. The coffee is very very good. That should be enough to encourage you to skip the corporate alternative. In addition to the super high-quality coffee, there are very tasty and fresh bakery items.

The owners have put tons of work into the space making it beautiful, open, and inviting. The coffee bar is a practically a piece of art.

The space is super clean and kid friendly. Stop in and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere and fantastic service. Support local business!
