Great space. They’ve updated it and expanded the space. The espresso was delicious. Amazing service and team there.
Ascension Coffee in the Design District of Dallas absolutely delivered, even though we were just passing through and didn’t get to stay long. I found this spot based on its stellar ratings, and even a short visit was enough to make a lasting impression.
I haven’t been here in years. But coming back the atmosphere was very nice and inviting.
Coffee is great, the atmosphere is solid if you want to work quietly or come here for meetings. Healthy options for food that is delicious. Very friendly staff. Conveniently located in Design District.
This coffee spot is honestly one of my favorites in Dallas and easily gets five stars. The vibe is really chill and artsy, which makes it a perfect place to grab a coffee and just hang out for a bit. I love that it’s in the Design District too, so it feels kind of trendy but still laid back.

The ambiance was amazing! I love the whole vibe and the decor. I’m a coffee snob and have to say that I had the best cold brew here. It’s strong, delicious, and definitely doesn’t have that bitter taste! The food was so delicious! I’ll definitely come back when I’m in the Dallas area again!
First time here, and it definitely won’t be my last. The atmosphere is super cozy—soft warm lighting instead of harsh white lights, high ceilings, and beautiful floor-to-ceiling glass walls.
