"Finally got to try this place and I was very pleased with the service, food, and coffee. Everyone was pleasant to talk to and the coffee was great. Tried their Carlsbad Burrito and loved it. There is a lot of room and a play area inside for toddlers and outside for bigger kids, 2 patio areas that are well kept. Great place for a meet up or just a solo trip."

"While on a coffee date with my wife, we were delightfully surprised by Ascend Coffee Roasters. Ascend Coffee masterfully uses space to create a atmosphere of community. Firstly, you will notice the huge space. You think this is too much space. The huge space allows people to gather, without the coffee shop becoming too loud. Secondly, Ascend intentionally provides a play area for babies and tottlers. We never heard the sounds of babies crying, thanks for the large space. Finally, they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Inside, tables are spaced in such a way to provide a little "elbow space." This extra space makes for a calm environment. The baristas were quick at the bar, and they kept the shop clean. I plan to revisit Ascend. When you see the Vista Arch, then you know you are at Ascend Coffee."

"Great coffee & food with a large space and play area for babies and kids. My husband got a $5 breakfast sandwich that was delicious. They also have a kids class on Thursdays at 10am. Also plenty of space if you want to get some work done."

"Versatile, Inclusive, Real Coffee. Love this place and their Carlsbad location. Have and will continue to invite all my friends and family to Ascend Coffee Stores. They have a new app I’ve been using for points."

"Ascend Coffee is a standout spot for coffee lovers and families alike. The café is incredibly spacious and clean, creating a relaxing environment for both work and casual visits. It’s very kid-friendly, with ample room for strollers and little ones to move around (it even has a play area!). There’s no stress about parking—there are plenty of spaces available. Located in a walkable area, it’s perfect for a stop during a neighborhood stroll. The staff was welcoming and helpful, adding to the warm, inviting vibe. Whether you’re meeting friends, working remotely, or grabbing a quick cup, Ascend Coffee will deliver!"
