"This local chain was started in 2012 and is all about creating chill environments to slow down and smell the coffee beans — there’s never loud music, loud people, or loud kitchens. Start zen with the golden milk latte made with spiced turmeric, vanilla, cinnamon, and hemp milk or the shroom latte with adaptogenic mushrooms, an organic spice blend, calendula flowers, and almond milk. Ascension makes its sandwiches with the option of a bagel from Starship, which makes arguably the best bagels in North Texas, so go for it with the sammie or toppings of your choice." - Courtney E.
