I love the Ascension Coffee at The Star, so I was excited about coming to this location. Apple Maps…read moretook me into a parking garage even though there is a ground-level parking lot, so keep that in mind if you are coming for the first time! The place has a variety of seating, is clean, and isn't too loud. There were a lot of people studying and working. I didn't have the best experience. They had their Fall drinks written on the menu and then after explaining to me what the Johnny cakes latte tastes like, they told me it wasn't available until Tuesday, which was misleading. I tried to order a seasonal peach tea drink, and they told me they were out of it. At this point, I was frustrated and got the golden latte, which tasted awful. It was so ginger-y and not smooth at all. It tasted like the equivalent of a tough-to-get-down juice shot. I ordered a breakfast veggie sandwich, which wasn't bad, but my friend and I both ordered it for dine-in, and for some reason mine came out in a to-go box. This was super odd and there wasn't an apology or anything. The sandwich was okay - the avocados weren't ripe yet and were kind of hard. The brioche was good, but $10 for something I could throw together at home in 5 mins was unimpressive. Overall, I won't be back. Ascension in Frisco has seriously the best service, with an expanded menu, and coming here was so subpar and disappointing.

First of all, as an Australian this place is bonza and it's as Aussie as it could be without…read moreactually going Australia! It means something when actual Aussies shop there! The meat pies and sweets are simply to die for. Eating their food brings me back to a time long since gone. I don't get much Australian food and this place makes me feel like I'm back in Australia. To Lui and Angie I love you guys (even if you're both banana benders!) thanks for bringing a small piece of Down Under to Texas.

If you are an Aussie in Texas missing a taste of home or just a fan of real meat pies, this place…read moreis a must visit. Their meat pies are amazing. Each pie has a golden flaky crust with rich and comforting filling - tender meat with a well-seasoned gravy without being too heavy. They also sell frozen pies and sausage rolls to take home and bake later just like bringing a slice of Australia back home. They also have a great variety of savory snacks, pastries and classic Aussie dessert like lamingtons, which pairs perfectly with their coffee. The ambiance is bright, welcoming - perfect for a quick bite or a relaxed meal.

If you're someone who finds traditional matcha a little too strong or grassy, this is a great option. It was lighter, fruit-forward, and the mango flavor came through nicely. The pastry case also caught my attention--everything looked fresh and incredibly tempting. I didn't get a chance to try any this visit, so I'm looking forward to trying some of the pastries next time. Overall, a nice spot for a lighter matcha drink and worth checking out if you're looking for something a little different. Staff was sweet and organized as they were a bit busy.

Trisha took my order and was super awesome at making many great recommendations while Miriam cranked the beverages for the people ahead of me. Loved the GF option for an almond loaf. This reminds me of a wonderful home cafe mixed with a nice southern coffee shop. They even have seating outside for a beautiful day like the day I went. Very Austin vibes. Seating options are from regular wood bench to a cozy couch. Loved the live plants that add fresh air and a nice atmosphere. They had low playing music that was very urban so you can carry a conversation while supporting smaller artists and working on work. Headphones if you'd like your own music would be great and wouldn't be interrupted with the music playing in the shop. Biscoff caramel latte: Wonderful flavor of coffee. I was fearful it'd be too sweet but it was perfectly sweetened. The Biscoff crumbles add the Biscoff flavor and the caramel isn't overpowering. It's a soft balance of the two together. The foam was pleasant and would recommend hot. Personally would love a stronger Biscoff flavor cause Biscoff is my favorite cracker. But other than that, a super solid beverage. Almond Loaf (GF): The crumble and moist texture were perfect. Not too crazy of a GF taste. Different but wonderful. The top has a crumble similar to Almond croissant that is so satisfying if you're craving a lil more sweet with your bite. Together: Wonderful together. The almond loaf isn't dense but it doesn't completely fall apart either. Super happy.

It's located inside of a retail strip/courtyard. It was high noon and HOT so I was excited for a cool drink. The staff were sweet. You could tell they loved their jobs. Upon entering I noted their fridge with options to purchase milks and other small grocery finds. My absolute favorite part of the cafe was their prayer wall where patrons left all kinds of prayer requests. I got teary eyed reading the vulnerability and pleas from those needing prayers. It was beautiful! I ordered the banana and blueberry iced matchas with cold foam, both half sweet. I think I'll try them again with their full sweet option and see if I could taste the flavors better. Not going to dock them though, it was my choice to modify.

The Classic Avocado Toast was pretty standard--you can definitely taste the lemon zest (a bit much for me personally), and the chili flakes gave it a nice kick. Service: Great!

Had the worst toast I've ever paid money to eat at this location…read more My matcha is always good here but they also didn't fill up my cup all the way which was a little disappointing. The bread was paper thin. barely any avocado spread. the burrata was sparse and they put the burrata liquid that the cheese comes in on the toast? so much that the toast was dripping when I picked it up. Service was fine except the same toast in question sat ready on a side counter for about 5 minutes before a staff member realized it was there and called my name/put it on the pickup counter. Location looks like all the others but is very small- little to no seating inside and cramped waiting area.

My go-to drink is the Egg Cream Phin Coffee ($8 large) - the egg cream is creamy/rich, and the over coffee is a treat, with both the coffee flavor and egg cream in balance with each other.

If money and sleep were not issues, I would visit Trung Nguyen every day to get my fill of Egg Cream Phin Coffee! So delicious and good!

The place was clean, the vibe was relaxed and welcoming, and the staff was incredibly friendly. I even had a great conversation with a lovely customer who was so kind. And the Vietnamese peanut butter coffee? It did NOT disappoint! It was creamy, flavorful, and exactly the coffee I had been looking for. If you're in the area and love good coffee, I definitely recommend stopping by. I'm so glad someone pointed me in this direction!

For what seems like a fairly large investment to bring a cafe to this corner of Keller Springs, I'd…read moresay it's less than mediocre. Every menu item is $5-7 or more, dependent on the type of coffee obviously. Any additions or size increase is another few dollars extra. For two small Iced Lattes with flavor; was just short of $15. More than 50% cream/syrup, about 40% ice, and an undetectable coffee aroma. Maybe the increased size would allow more room for what was purchased. After the tab for the coffee, I didn't find it in me to order any of the food. The menu seemed confused, and the online portal menu prices are cheaper than what is posted inside the cafe. Some by $1-2 less. Plus there seem to be more menu items on the website. Unsure if these items aren't available, or if they didn't fit on the screen. The interior and atmosphere is nothing short of cozy. The "cafe" feel was definitely nailed here. The machines and the kitchen are clean, the employees professional, and the music is fitting. I was eager to finally try Maestro after quite some time of passing by it. It is alarmingly empty for most of the day. This retail space on the corner of Keller Springs has rotated a few businesses over the years. Will be difficult to keep up with the already established neighboring businesses. Would come back for a more reasonably priced menu!
