Ascension Coffee - The Star

I am a coffee lover, so my review is purely based on the three coffee drinks I tried and the service received. As usual, I try different cafes when I have time. I ended up coming to this cafe today with a couple of others. We stood in line to order drinks, but when our turn came, we were informed that we could sit and a server would come to the table. It took a long time for someone to attend to the free seating table. We ended up ordering the holiday flight and some lattes. I requested a half-sweet and extra hot drink, but both requests were taken but when I received the drink felt like ignored. The server who attended to us didn’t have any good hosting abilities. Overall, the taste of the drinks and the serving attitude made the visit worthless. However, the atmosphere is good and welcoming.

Stopped by this spot for a coffee break. Coffee was really good, we ordered the hazelnut latte and lavender vanilla cappuccino. We also ordered their pancakes for a snack. Great service! Our server was quick and respectful. My cappuccino came out wrong at first and she was quick to correct it. This place a good spot for students, business men, small groups like couples or dates, and can occupy bigger groups. Only thing is, it’s more on the quieter side, great for studies or work meetings of the like, or for those looking for a chill spot with a cup of Joe. Overall experience was good. Till then, let’s sip!

Always a pleasure coming here! It’s normally packed but I’m always able to find a seat. It’s self seating. Coffee is great & so is the food. Wonderful service & the people are so nice. I normally come here to catch up on work, it’s a great atmosphere to do that!

I was really disappointed with the customer service at this coffee shop. The person who took our order wasn’t friendly at all — no greeting, no smile. We asked for coffee with cream and sugar, but he brought a cup filled all the way to the top and just walked away. We had to wait for him to come back just to ask for napkins, stirrers, and the cream we originally requested. Overall, the service was inattentive and unprofessional. Definitely not the experience you’d expect from a coffee shop.

Good coffee shop in the Star, they have good coffee collection, my favorites are - cortado, espresso, horchata latte, cappuccino & matcha latte. Their almond croissant and weekend special Cruffin are delicious. They have good breakfast options. Their sitting area is very good. If you work within the Star premises you get a discount as well. Better than Starbucks coffee.

Awesome for breakfast/brunch/lunch and coffee. I enjoyed their pour over so much that I ordered two! Good vibes!

Couldn't order my usual weird drink. But the batista made suggestions and asked questions. What ever she concocted was fantastic. Best coffee of my trip.

Came here every day for 3 days of my work trip to the area. Power brekky bowl with bacon is an excellent choice. Perfectly cooked eggs with the contrasting flavors and textures hit the spot. Highly recommend you add bacon. Both the matcha and dirty chai lattes were great. Even when it seems busy I was able to be in and out in less than 30 min.

I just visited Ascension Coffee for breakfast before the Dallas Open and I just completely fell in love with it. To start, the ambiance is so fun and upbeat, it is a great place for working or having a full meal. It was a bit on the louder side, but I would imagine it was because of the event going on. Our server was genuinely so sweet and helpful. Really personable and just kind. I loved the s'mores board - I always see their coffee flights online and really want to try! It lived up to my expectations and was perfect to share with a friend. We also shared the mimosa carafe for the table, which was a generous size and so delicious. I ordered the hippie bowl as my entree and it was so flavorful, nourishing, and yummy. I added a side of chile crisp, which was amazing and enhanced the flavors. I literally cannot wait to return and I am so grateful I discovered this place!

On a crisp sunny morning we walked into this cafe close to the cowboys practice field. We were not sure what to expect, but it turned out to be an excellent find for cappuccino. Full bodied, not bitter, aroma of dark chocolate and citrus were first notes to hit with crema. It was like close your eyes and imagine the valley where coffee was grown. Not just cappuccino, most of their ingredients are locally sourced. And our server was amazing enough to offer us suggestions on food items. I had veggie sammie which was excellent. I'll be back soon for another cup.

Stopped by here for a visit after a tour of the Star Cowboys training facility right across the street. The coupon card we received as part of our tour package enabled discounts at certain stores along Star Boulevard and Cowboys Way. One of the deals was 10% off at Ascension Coffee so we decided to use it. It was a pretty hot day out so we ordered a couple of cold drinks. My bro got a chocolate frappe, my dad got the apple matcha and I love my cold brews so I got the salted vanilla cream cold brew. Thumbs ups from all 3 of us with all the drinks! The cold brew was smooth. I was worried that it would be too sweet due to the vanilla cream but it towed the line perfectly. There was more saltiness to the cream than sweetness which I prefer. The apple matcha my dad had was interesting. It did taste a lil on the artificial side and the apple was definitely more pronounced than the matcha. The chocolate frappe tasted like a milkshake (I prolly would order it w/o whipped cream myself). They made the drinks in a pretty timely manner. Maybe took 5-10 mins? We ordered our drinks 30 min before closing time and sat like 30 min past closing time and they were very nice about it (we sat on the sofas to rest our legs)! Would come back for that cold brew the next time I visit Dallas!

This is our second time here and I can say the service never lacks. The food is always great. Everything is always so fresh and delicious. The pancakes are to die for. We love to eat here before we do awards for our cheer competition. We love the vibe of this coffee shop.

Imagine my shock when realizing I've never reviewed one of my very favorite coffee houses!!! I love this location. It's close to me, vibe is always cool & cozy. It's clean, fun people in and out, and menu is just excellent, and most importantly, coffee is excellent. Pane Aria Benedict is my favorite, and I ask for Sweet Potato Hash with anything I order. Currently obsessed with the S'mores Coffee Flight - please don't tell me the calories!!

Great experience here. Stopped for a coffee (I will call that 4/5) and stayed for the Migas (5/5!). Cool place with great inside and outside spaces and wonderful friendly service. My experience here was great from start to finish.

We didn't realize this was a restaurant as well as a coffee shop, so we stopped for coffee and will be back for breakfast sometime :) The caramel mocha latte was 10/10

This was a very cute coffee shop at the Star. Great location and ambiance. It was a quick stop after spending the day there. We wanted to try the flight to check out the holiday menu. Although we had various flavors, none really stood out too much. The hot chocolate my cousin tried was very good. We may have just needed to try something else on the menu.

Had the chance to check out Ascension for brunch today. Pleasantly surprised by how good their food was, but the coffee was actually just ok to me personally. Tried the fall flight which had some pumpkin flavored coffees and butterscotch flavors. Probably would have been better to try just one kind, like a flat white or something. Steak sandwich: 10/10. The fries that came with it could have been more crispy and flavorful. Asian Fried chicken sandwich: 9/10, a little greasy but good flavor. The spice they used was complex. Service was really good. I got checked on a million times. And he gave good recommendations. Was pretty busy for a rainy Saturday. Probably would be a wait if the weather was nicer. I would go again to try other menu items!

Great place for brunch. Very friendly service and quick to order. Indoor and outdoor seating. Food is all freshly cooked to order.

Their food is so yummy, especially their biscuits and homemade jam. To die for!! Also big fan of their coffees. It's a fun place to brunch!

My husband and I love the coffee and atmosphere here! Rachel went above and beyond to help me with my request, and she seemed to genuinely care about providing the best customer service experience possible. It's rare to find someone so friendly and attentive these days!

Not a bad place for a coffee break. I've had a couple of coffee meetings here and there is plenty of space to chat. Coffee is good, can't complain and they have easy food options to pair. Located at The Star so definitely a trendy area. I can see myself returning more than once.

This review is based solely off of customer service. We walked in with one person finishing being checked out. When the person was done ordering the person taking the order went to make the drink while 5 other baristas stood there just talking to each other. Not one person said hello or even acknowledged our existence, they literally just looked at us. Even the manager walked by and said nothing. We walked out after waiting for 7 mins with no one even in line! Absolutely terrible!!

WAY Better than a um "Chain" place with that green lady logo thing.. if you know what I'm saying. The only thing I can say is, what is up with the service in texas? Every coffee place I went to (and we did visit a few) SLOOOOOOOWWWW. I mean it got so bad at one point, I was asking for the "Slow Brew, with Extra take your time pour" I mean jesus. Everything is SLOOOWER in texas when it comes to coffee and frankly look in the morning everyone's trying to get to work, so the service speed has to step it the heck up. But 5 star's because my god the coffee was good.

Great location! Great coffee! Great staff. Food was also very good. Great place for any occasion. A go to coffee and breakfast spot if you are in Frisco.

Service was awesome. I loved the lavender Coffee and the chicken sandwich. The sandwiches were very flavorful.

The best coffee in Texas and the best food menu ever I've been coming here since they opened and used to study there. Stopped coming for a brief while because of the service, but they improved after they implemented servers and only keep up leveling

Nice casual atmosphere. Met a friend for breakfast there. We both ordered the veggie sammie. It was really delicious! Forgot to snap a picture though. The brioche bread was so soft and everything tasted super fresh! I loved it. A little pricey at $9.50 for a sandwich but it's at The Star so .....‍ I want to try a pastry next time-they looked so good!

I missed the days when I lived in Coppell and it was walking distance from me but this one in Frisco is worth the 5 min drive! It has the best space to work, study, and just relax. It is the perfect getaway spot for cool and chill vibes. Plus, the servers are awesome! They are attentive, fast, and friendly. I don't remember her name but she was short with blonde hair in a messy low bun that was so awesome! She recommended the Mediterranean chicken wrap which was so so good. I also had the golden milk latte that satisfied my tastebuds well! It gave me the turmeric kick I needed and lifted my spirits! I will definitely be coming more during the week to get work done and some good food

Service was abysmal! They seated us outside when it wasn't particularly busy, provided menus and water then promptly forgot us. After a long while, I walked inside and spoke to the hostess who was rude and dismissive. Eventually, a waiter made his way to our table. He knew very little about the menu and couldn't answer even basic questions about the food offered. Bottom line, the coffee was great, the food was ... meh ... a bit bland, and the service was terrible. What a disappointment- I would still come back for the coffee though and it's in a cool area with a good vibe but, I'll take my coffee to go, thanks.

Great service, great vibes and convenient location. The overall experience was great. The chai latte had a little kick- just enough to wake up your palate.

My favorite place for coffee and breakfast/brunch! Such a cute cafe. The food is also very good and the coffee is amazing here! Everyone that works here are so accommodating and nice! I highly recommend it here if you want coffee, brunch, lunch, to-go items, or to come and work here.

Location is beautiful so that's 1 star & another star for ambience it's a nice place to chat, get work done etc. Walked in today fairly busy but nobody working actually says hello and that's always a bad sign in my opinion. This review is solely based on the coffee. Fall flight: The absolute worst coffee i've ever had. Spice Latte cold brew left me with no words out of the 3. Completely over priced and a huge waste of money for only 3. If it was good that's a whole different story when it comes to price. The two other lattes were ok we took one sip each and we're disgusted so that's all we did with this flight here Lattes: White chocolate mocha latte was the only good thing here. The Horchata Latte was very bland and the coffee was just not worth it. Overall left disappointed another "all hype" coffee spot & wasted $24 for this.

Coffee and food were both great and paired with excellent service. I highly recommend it to anyone going either on a date or casual meetup with friends!

The place was clean, the food was tasty and the coffee was delicious. The coffee cake was really good and the bacon egg and cheese was great. I think the portions are good size and the staff was really friendly. At 7am on a weekday this place was super empty and service was instantaneous. Honestly don't agree with bad reviews, especially since there is no other decent coffee nearby.

A unique experience for the expert coffee drinker and a delicious cold brew milkshake for the novice. Please note lox are only served on the weekends

I love this place but hate the weekends with "open seating." PLEASE go back to taking names so we are seated in an order of arrival vs Hunger Game chances to get a table. It stresses me out and don't like other thinking I "jumped" the line.

Excellent service, and friendly vibe. This location at The Star feels like an island in the middle of all the sports-related restaurants. My Espresso Tonic was perfect. It was the first time I tried it. Congratulations to the managers; they have a great team, all the baristas we're great!

LOVE this place!! My new spot to work, relax, and hang out after a long day. I also enjoy the fact that it's not just coffee and tea, but WINE too. They have a nice menu of food if you want more than just a scone or muffins. I've had their Poblano soup and Migas - both so good The people here are very nice and attentive. I'll be back for sure. AND they're hours are 6am-6pm which is just perfect.

Was surprised to see a Pandan Matcha Latte on the menu, so I had to order and try. Overall, the drink was pretty good - creamy with a prominent pandan and matcha flavor, neither of which was overpowering. My only complaint was that there were still some chunks of matcha powder that were visibly seen throughout the drink, though I weirdly did not end up tasting any. Service was quick, and I'd stop by again for a needed caffeine break if I'm ever in the area.

Love the new touchless ordering system. You scan a qr code and manage your tab and payment yourself. We did have a few issues where some of our orders didn't get delivered until we asked, so they might still be working out the kinks. The outdoor patio is nice for casual meetings. My only gripes there are that there are no plugs outside and the ambient music is way too loud. Inside is a little less painful but almost always crowded. Food and drinks are nothing special, just your standard coffee place.

That dang smoked turkey club sandwich was delicious.... Nice thick bacon and the seeded bread (or whatever you call it) was perfect. Loved my mocha latte as well :-)

Pear matcha latte - good matcha latte but no pear flavor Chocolate croissant - 2 small pencil-thin, crayon sized chocolate "bars" in the croissant. Weird & disappointing. Bacon & egg protein brekky - bacon was overdone Ok overall, but felt like I wasted my calorie allowance on some disappointing menu items.

Really good coffee - service is friendly and quick. Grade A-. These guys know their stuff. Very similar to Intelligensia in Pasadena, CA. God, I wish these guys had other locations ... like in Southlake!

I would not recommend this place, absolute regret going here but some of us were a little parched and it seemed judging from the line it was going to be a good place... we were wrong. My husband got the Caramel Macchiato, and I think he could have enjoyed one at Starbucks. I got the Sweet Iced Tea, and there was really nothing sweet about it. Not to mention the lack of ice that was in my drink. Everything was pretty mediocre to say the least. Service was not good at all. Why did it take about 30 minutes to get 3 drinks? The world may never know... I would suggest going somewhere else for coffee, I'm not sure about the food, but will never come back here again.

Been sitting here for for over 25 mins. No one checked on us. Place isn't overly busy. Been pretty light. Folks are having keep asking and stopping wait staff to get things. They just sat another table and the waiter went to them to take there orders. We just sitting here, I guess I got time to kill so. We got up and left horrible service should be zero stars!!!

Great spot for a meeting and exceptional food, Juan was amazing!!!! And we'll definitely be back.

This place got it right. Nice selection of eating items, including several healthy ones. And more importantly, the coffee is high quality and much more superior compared to Starbucks. We are talking real coffee here. The atmosphere is excellent for a work visit, study, reading a book, or a date. This area (next to cowboys training camp) is becoming an attractive area to walk around, dine, with a couple of shopping stores here and there. I recommend this place for coffee or light meal.

Possibly the worst experience I've ever gotten. The waiter was cool but the baristas were trash. We never got our mimosas or coffees we ordered. After asking for an update the baristas still felt no need to rush after an hour. Management did not get involved but I'm certain he wouldn't had done much considering I observed his behavior when we being seated. He tried to convince the host to seat a person that came in after me, before me. What a trash spot.

I came back with my family today after a great experience when I visited the first time in May with my sister. Walked in at 527pm. Zero greeting. Fine sat ourselves. Passed the manager multiple times who never acknowledged me. It was finally after looking at the menu at 537 I walked up to the counter and overheard the cashier telling someone else the kitchen was closed. Manager says yes the kitchen closed at 540. Cashier says it closes at 530. Manager says again it closes at 540. Cashier says it's 540. It wasn't yet. I says why aren't there any signs saying that and why hasn't anyone said anything to us since we've been here?? She says oh sorry. We went over to Tupelo honey and had a wonderful meal. I'll be writing a letter higher up. I brought my family back here (twin4 year olds) because of my first visit. However today, I'm certainly turned off dt the lack of customer service with both the manager on duty Saturday and the cashier. I want to support businesses at the star so they will thrive but with how this one treats people, I'm not positive it will. Won't be back.

I went in with high expectations after seeing the place pop up on Google maps. The place is super aesthetic and has a general calming and low-key vibe to it which I loved. We waited a few minutes until someone came to take our order. I asked for an iced matcha latte while my friend got a caramel cold brew. At first glance, I was super excited for my iced matcha latte but after drinking it realized it was just whole milk with an extremely mild matcha flavor that I had to search for. As for the caramel cold brew, it was extremely bitter and even adding three packets of sugar did nothing to mitigate the sourness. While the servers were really nice, the flavor of the drinks were enough to leave (literally) a sour taste in my mouth.

This is the cutest coffee shop I've been to. They have really good bakery items and hot food. I'm a chai tea latte lover and they make a really good one here. They also have a really good bacon, egg and cheese sandwich plus they sale wine, which is always a plus. However, the service can be slow sometimes. But that's doesn't stop me from coming here, I will be back tomorrow for some good tea and a croissant.

This was my second time at Ascension Coffee, my first experience was great. However, my second experience was not. The reason why I am giving ONE star: March 24th, Time: 12:10 pm ... We had a reservation, my husband walks in, gets seated and is not even asked if he has a reservation which is totally fine. Not complaining about that. She sat us at table 23 (I asked for reference), which is against the wall, small and really close to the a 4 people party. I went back and politely asked April which is the "Manager" if she can please get us a different table since we did not feel comfortable. ***Her answer was: " I cannot because that is the only table I have available" to which I answered, there's plenty of tables where you can seat us. She said " I have more reservations and therefore I can't". I said: I also had a reservation so I do not see the problem. She stared at me without saying a word for around 10 seconds. I asked: are you sure?" April looks at her tablet and says "that is the only table I have" I have more people coming, you can seat outside?!" At this point I am divided between: should I leave and make this experience even more uncomfortable for me and my partner? Or should I just stay and let it pass?. So I stayed. *** I thought maybe because we are just 2 people? But 5 minutes after she seats 2 people at a 4 party table, only two people!! Why did you not give me that option? April said she is the manager, I know, mind blown. How can a manager not know, and I am saying this as someone who has experience with customer service, that the customer is always right? And I mean I was not complaining about food, or my waiter which by the way was awesome!! APRIL: I wish that with time you understand and learn, that if a customer tells you he/she does not feel comfortable you DO need to be more HUMBLE and understanding of your clients needs. It does take at least 2 people to say NO. I would have totally understood if you would've given me a reasonable and more polite explanation, but what you did and said made me feel like I was not even welcome there. After I asked if you were the manager, I told you: "you need more training". I still think you need it. If not training on how to be a manager, training on how to understand your clients and show them that you are there to deliver CUSTOMER SERVICE and make customers experience the best, because no customer should experience this type of behavior specially form a "manager". I really hope that your supervisors read this and teach you how to be a better manager with your customers, and this review teaches you how to be a more humble, polite, and understanding person. This happened at the Frisco Location. The star.

lunch time. told to seat myself. no one ever waited in me. left after 15 minutes. several attendants walked right by me.

Great service and fast internet. This is a great spot to have a fun brunch or do some online work while enjoying coffee/food/wine. They have very interesting takes on different coffee drinks if you are looking to expand your palette and the overall energy is very upbeat.

Cup of the Moment Golden Milk with Matcha - 5/5 Lattes Matcha Latte with Oat Milk - 4/5 Brekky Sammies Veggie Sammie - 4/5 Aussie Bacon + Egg Roll - 5/5 Pastries Meyer Lemon Cruffin - 5/5 Fast service. Golden milk is absolutely amazing. It's a must order. Matcha latte was good. Not too sweet, just right. Veggie sammie was delicious. Eggs were cooked perfectly. Aussie Bacon + Egg Roll was the best. The roll is buttery and soft. Super fresh. Bacon is thick cut and super tasty. Cruffin tastes like heaven. Soft, buttery, flaky dough. Delicious lemon taste. Yummy flavors.

We have eaten here every morning, for the last 3 days, and have loved both our food and drink selections each day. Rachel was an amazing server. She patiently explained all their various drinks which helped with ordering the best tasting lattes.
