Ascend Coffee Roasters

Best coffee around. Decaf is so good I got spoiled and cannot drink any other brands. I go daily. Food is also excellent and everything is freshly made from scratch. They are very dog friendly. I go daily with my pup. He has the cutest routine, where he drinks his water with ice cubes, and keeps checking for his pup cup to come out at the counter. I posted a video.

I really wanted to love Accend Coffee in Encinitas, but after today I will not be coming back. I ordered a torched latte, iced with no ice, and coconut milk. It was $7.95 plus a tip — and what I got was a cup barely filled, warm instead of chilled, and tasting like no effort was put into it. This isn’t the first time I’ve had this experience with the same barista (male,tall, dark hair), but it will definitely be the last. For nearly $8, I expect consistency, care, and at least a drink that matches what was ordered. On top of that, I’ve noticed multiple times there are flies in the food case and around the kitchen area which makes me question the cleanliness. This coffee cost them more than $8 it cost them a lifetime customer. The owner needs to work on constructive criticism and grow from it, not try and defend their inefficiencies.

The Americano was amazing! Significantly above average. The vegan oatmeal cookie was also great. There is seating inside and it’s a cute vibe. There’s Mediterranean toast that could be vegan along with açaí.

Clean bright and fresh. Always friendly and welcoming. You genuinely feel the coffee team is glad you are there. Delicious craft roasted coffee drinks, yummy homemade pastry choices (inc. gluten free and vegan options), and breakfast burritos or lunch options available too. Plenty of easy parking available and other great options nearby to help get your To Do list finished. (Manicure/pedicure? Need groceries?). Visit soon, you’ll be happy you stopped by.😁

Delicious Food, Great Pastries, Fantastic Coffee. I have tried ALL their coffee blends and recommend them all! I order online and pickup in store, but suggest everyone to spend time in the cafe. Calming environment and great staff. The owner is very welcoming and generous with her time. I've spoken with her on various occasions about her ethically sourced coffee beans, and how she brews everything locally. 10/10
