Ascend Coffee Roasters

Best place for coffee in North County. Try the new breakfast burritos. The Early Bird and the Ham&Cheese are my favs. ;)

Its a very nice cafe that instantly sends the vibe of a very authentic place to the costumers. I love that it’s locally owned and has a heart and soul. Its a self service place. They offer nice breakfast and lunch options. I would suggest the owners to make a few furniture updates, the whole ambiance seems a bit tired and dusty IMHO

Nothing short of spectacular what ASCEND has done with their store and coffee brand.
I've tried every coffee flavor they have, and can honestly say I recommend them all. Don't miss them next time you're in San Marcos.

I loved how cozy it feels. lots of tables to sit at inside and outside. i got the early bird breakfast burrito (with regular scrambled eggs instead of egg whites) it was good but needed some seasoning

This is a little hidden gem! Great coffee. Great breakfast. Ambiance can’t be beat! There’s a little fire pit. Feels like you’re in the countryside just off the freeway. Bonus that is woman owned!

Very inviting coffee shop. Great ambience. Kid/ pet friendly. Indoor and out door seating available. There’s a beautiful fire pit outside for enjoyment with your drink. We ordered the iced brown sugar macchiato, iced vanilla latte, banana bread and lemon muffin. The brown sugar macchiato has the brown sugar and espresso shots steamed together… great flavor. Drinks were delicious. Prices average. Pastries were good. They not only coffee and pastries but smoothies and food- breakfast burritos, avocado toast; açaí bowls.

The location is nicely kept and decorated, nice vibe. This lends nothing to their product or service. When ordering my coffee, I had requested it to be extra hot. She replied that they don’t have a “protocol” for that. I asked if they had a microwave and she said she could not use that either.
I can accept an answer if no, but this woman was clearly annoyed at my questions and just wanted to shut me up and move one. She made that clear when she said “I am short staffed right now, are you going to order anything?
This woman doesn’t belong behind the counter if she can’t keep herself checked long enough to provide good customer service. The coffee isn’t anything to brag about either. Nothing unique or spectacular. You’re paying for their decorated walls, definitely not their service or product.

Such a chill coffee shop. I could hang out here all day! It's such a relaxed vibe mixed with really cool decor. And the firepits are awesome! Lots of great food and coffee options as well. And the staff are very friendly. Just an all around 5 star experience. Favorite coffee shop in all of Cali.

The best place in San Marcos - North County San Diego for their coffee, tea and menu options! The staff is the friendliest you’ll ever meet. They have the most beautiful patio options for dining outside with shade even on a warm day and inside is equally amazing. Giving my highest recommendation to Ascend Coffee Roasters!

The Atmosphere is great. The coffee was only okay. They also charge you extra tax fees for bathroom services? Which they don't mention to you and expect a tip on top of that. I thought Cafes and Restaurants serving food and drinks must legally provide for restrooms but apparently we (the customer) need to be charged extra for that. The dine-in cups are also plastic which kills the ambience a bit.
