Ascension Coffee - Crescent Court

Our food was Very Good & the service provided by Drew was EXCELLENT! We’d love to come back & would hope to get Drew as our waiter again. He seemed to know his menu & gave great food & drink recommendations.

Favorite coffee shop in Dallas! It has a relaxed Aussie flare. The breakfast sandwiches are always the perfect cure for my weekend hangover ;) and the cold brew has a way of bringing me back to life. It isn’t a weekend in Uptown without a trip here.

amazing service from the curly haired server!!! she was so kind and helpful. Her suggestions were perfect! The horchata latte was my favorite. First time here but will be back soon :)

Good location, nice interior and fine menu.

Amazing experience! Gotttaaaa get the aussie breakfast sandwich. Incredible food and coffee. Maddie was an outstanding server. Great environment. 10/10 definitely going back.

Sometimes a little loud during cold months, but otherwise damn near perfection. Best bacon at breakfast I have had... maybe anywhere besides my Grandma's table.

Absolutely love this place! There are several different Ascension locations, some might be more popular but this one is a hidden gem. Great food - all different subtle flavors very well balanced and good presentation, great coffee - as always, and good desert. Also love their siphon coffee set, red swing water bottle, red pepper grinder, fresh flowers on every table and the huge wooden DNA double helix.

It might be a little crowded during rush hour tho. Space between two tables could be a bit bigger.

Top location Cafe.
Outside of the place is so peaceful and nice.
The coffee was great and standard.
The chocolate chip cookie was acceptable.

I am a regular here at Ascension. Normally when I come in I have good service. sometimes its not necessarily timely because they are busy and short staffed but I could always depend on the food to be absolutely delicious. Today I had a different experience. This was the second time that I have come in and I had a server by the name of Nancy be rude to me. Today I brought someone new to the restaurant that has never been here before and I proceeded to get us a menu because we were waiting for our server. Nancy stopped
Me and told me to go have a seat and proceeded to snatch the menu out of my hand. She repeated this twice before I went to the table and complain to my waitress. I spoke with the manager who says that he dealt with the issue and offered us a free drink but I told him that the complaint isn’t coming from a place of wanting some thing for free, I simply just don’t like being treated the way that I was. Every time I’ve come in and Nancy has worked it has been a negative experience she is very rude and short and I have seen her do the same with other associates that she works with. Our glassware was dirty on multiple occasions but our service improved after the initial a complaint to the manager. I would definitely recommend coming to Ascension especially to get their $14 Mamosa carafe and to try out their specialty cocktails and coffee. I would however never come back to be served by Nancy because she is very rude and not attentive when she is your actual server. Drew was absolutely amazing even though he wasn't my server he made my time great! My server Dana was a little bit quiet but polite and attentive. I do wish that she would’ve paid more attention to detail as far as the consistently dirty glass is in carafe containers that she could’ve polished before bringing to the table.

I've been a frequent customer of Ascension since Fall 2018. Generally, the coffee here is pretty awesome, as is the food. However, the service could be greatly improved. The staff seem apathetic, overall, and lack energy. Usually, I'm willing to look past this; however, today was a shockingly bad experience, with the discovery of rocks in coffee and cold, stale "toast."

Today, whilst having coffee with my mother, she discovered two small rocks (see attached photo) in her Turmeric Chai Tea Latte. She felt it in her mouth, thinking it was a seasoning, bit down and felt the pressure on her tooth. She initially thought her tooth had broken, however, thankfully it had not.

We quickly made the discovery known to our server, who acknowledged it (and that it wasn't a spice), and then promptly walked off. She didn't offer to take the coffee away or get a fresh one. Instead, after 5-10 minutes, she returned saying that they were going to re-filter something--what, precisely, we aren't sure because we weren't told--and that they appreciated being told. Finally, after another long wait, they offered to get mum a new coffee.

The rocks in the coffee was not the only issue. When my food arrived--the Eggs Benedict with a side of Vegemite Toast--the toast was cold and very stale. It almost seems like they just slapped the stale bread on the plate, then put it under a heat lamp. Moreover, the Eggs Benedict were equally awful. The tomatoes weren’t cooked properly, the ham was incredibly chewy, and the toast also tasted stale. The only good thing were the poached eggs which, mercifully, were perfectly good.

While the coffee may be excellent here, the service is not; this, after today's additional issues, I won't be returning. If you want rock-free coffee, try LDU on Fitzhugh!
