Ascension Coffee - Design District

Atmosphere is the only redeeming quality at this restaurant. I ordered the fried chicken sami and it was an unbreaded chicken thigh thrown into a fryer. It was very very dry even for a thigh. The bottom of my bun was stale and hard. The fries were cold on top and you could tell they were made in old oil that needed to be replaced. My latte was okay but nothing special it took quite awhile for us to receive them as well. While someone else at our table never received their coffee until he had finished his meal whole meal.

Pour over is great, service is a little slow but tye atmosphere is nice

Overall, the service is generally really good, the food is just good, and the drinks are hit or miss. I enjoy the chill ambience at this location.

Their chai latte is pretty good but a little bit too strong on the ginger, the pour overs have I’ve received have been over-extracted (bitter), and the matcha latte is pretty bland.

They have a really delicious banana muffin that tastes like home-baked banana bread, the Cali burrito has good flavor, the fried chicken sammie was over-cooked and broken in half, and the wagyu reuben had nice flavors but there was a ton of butter on it.

Extremely great eats!! Also have super good mimosas and the staff there are friendly and offer fantastic recommendations if you’re unsure what you’re unsure what to get!! Shout out to our waiter, Jason, for the delicious recommendation by the way!!!

Great, nice coffee and good food! I come here more for the coffee then food, but it's a really nice place and has a calm vibe. I'd recommend it!

I've been here once before and the service was good! This time, service was still good, but our waiter, as he was explaining some items on the menu, he was using profanity (the S word)! I was like WHAT??? I thought that was so unprofessional and simply uncalled for! Because of their multiple competitors I can choose from, I won't be returning. It's really a sad thing, because I like that place... The vibe and the area! I really hope management sees my review & puts a stop to this! So, if you don't mind hearing profanity from the staff, feel free to patronize!
Have a wonderful Friday you all🌹

A hidden gem coffee shop located on oak lawn in Dallas, TX. The food is flavorful and unique creative drinks are available (coffees mostly). They have many gluten free and dairy free options. Half price bottles of wine after 4pm. $3.00 mimosas are available with discounts during brunch on Saturday and Sunday. Warm and inviting atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. Definitely a trendy crowd cafe with valet parking and clean restrooms. If you order sandwiches you can get half and half (half chips, half salad) though not mentioned on menu. No substitutions unfortunately and no scrambled eggs available (mainly poached eggs only). Overall a great spot for 1st time meeting, dating, business clientele and solo enjoyment. Definitely will come back again. Pricing is above average but worth it. Our server, Trent, was very detailed with a genuine warm customer service attitude. ENJOY!!!

Service was absolutely miserable! I had some type self absorbed human being that couldn’t care less about serving, attempting to serve me. Never received my entire order. I have 2 stars because the breakfast sandwich I had was ok. Oh…the coffee was fantastic!! Coffee to go is what I recommend.

Excellent service. Fast service. Clean. Love the vibe. Great coffee & muffins.

Delicious brunch spot with items for any dietary need. The coffee and mimosas were lovely and our meals did not disappoint. It was a great way to kick off my husband’s birthday celebration!
