Ascendo

Lovely cup of coffee with steamed milk. Smooth, flavorful, not bitter. Nice calm vibe. Friendly staff that look you in the eye, speak distinctly and slowly when they talk to you, and they are not rushed. I like that!

"The perfect Latte ". A knowledgeable barista masterfully teases the tantalizing flavors out of their roasted ground coffee beans. Then pours the delightful black liquid into an heavy duty teal colored porcelain mug, with saucer and tiny spoon. Steamed milk is delicately poured in, ending in a remarkable artistic design on top.
Have a seat in the modern, well lit coffee house. Be dazzled from the distinct scents and flavors from the Latte. Taste the bitter, sweetness, fruitiness, and the boldness.
Can you tell I liked it?
Ascendo is the right name for this coffee house. They rise among the rest .👍

Took my little one here for his first hot chocolate, they were friendly even in the midst of a crazy holiday rush and made us the most delicious coffee shop hot chocolate (with real melted chocolate) I’ve ever had at a coffee shop at perfect kid temp.

Upon walking in, we immediately saw their selection of baked goods -- including vegan apple cinnamon muffins! Very delicious with house made chai and almond milk. Service was also very quick and friendly.

Very hearty, Rwanda beans...I dropped my cappuccino and the very nice barista said to me, no problem, I'll make you another one, free of charge...awwwww, that meant a lot to me..

I am not impressed by "organic" whatevers but I do enjoy the hand made work that is usually associated with it. This place really nails it. The coffee was made with care, in real cups, the cinnamon coffee cake is just like my mother's recipe and it is always nice to see a place with a selection of board games.

Visiting from out of town for a wedding. Stumbled in here and ended up coming back three more times during my short visit. Great service, charming patrons, delicious pastries made in-house and the coffee is excellent. I highly recommend. You will only be disappointed if you arrive too late in the day and there are no more chocolate chip cookies!

The latte was delicious!! So creamy and tasty. The atmosphere is quaint. Lots of art and beautiful plants.

Awesome environment, I loved it. They also have board games. It’s the perfect place to go and hang out with friends

Great craft coffee. Don’t go to Starbucks! Support local small businesses that roast coffee and prep better that doesn’t taste like burnt bitter coffee. The staff was very friendly and very patient with a customer ahead of me that was kind of a “Karen”! Thank you for making my visit to Los Osos that much better. Great roast too. I took home a bag of Mexico with me and love it.

I made a quick stop passing by. Easy to find parking in the lot on a Monday- not sure what the weekends look like.

I appreciate the house brewed chai and house made almond milk! Such a nice treat and peace of mind knowing these ingredients aren't just coming from a box!

I LOVE this coffee shop! My favorite thing about it is the fact that pretty much everything on the menu is organic, including the coffee & milk. They also make their own syrups in house, which are so delicious! I tried the vanilla bean today and it was so good (I highly recommend an almond milk latte with the vanilla bean syrup-so creamy and yummy! And they also make their own almond milk in house!).

You can just tell they put in the extra effort to make quality drinks & food, which I super appreciate. The staff is also always really friendly and the atmosphere is very warm and inviting.

Highly recommend! 👍

Such a cute little coffee shop. The atmosphere is great and the staff are friendly. I ordered an Americano with their homemade Vanilla Bean syrup and it was delicious!! I also ordered a piece of the Quiche and shared the Spinach Brownie with a friend. They were both exceptional but the Spinach Brownie was to die for!

Ascendo has just opened their Los Osos location in the last month and it is a long-needed addition to this town. The coffee is very very good. That should be enough to encourage you to skip the corporate alternative. In addition to the super high-quality coffee, there are very tasty and fresh bakery items.

The owners have put tons of work into the space making it beautiful, open, and inviting. The coffee bar is a practically a piece of art.

The space is super clean and kid friendly. Stop in and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere and fantastic service. Support local business!

Gluten free berry muffin was delicious. Loved my latte.

Legendary customer service, and gluten free muffins!

Had an amazing encounter with the manager who rang me up for the amazing gluten free muffins (this person with celiac really appreciates having homemade muffins that are both delicious and don't make me sick!)...I shared that the coffee I had wasn't that great. He insisted on offering me a free espresso beverage to make it right, and re-made the drink twice to make sure it was as perfect as could be.

Thanks, Ed! Well done! :)

This was such a chill coffee shop. I was helped by Christiana (sorry if I’m butchering your spelling) and she was so sweet, cheerful and chatty. Definitely made the experience better. I was headed out for a road trip back to Phoenix and needed a pickmeup. I ordered the new matcha latte, iced with two shots. It was a little weird I’m sure from the coffee but I loved the matcha, it was perfect. Anyway, Christiana deserves a raise, and I wish all the employees at the coffee shops I visit were as friendly as her.

Owner is an accomplished barista with some awards under his belt. Staff is courteous and also know their craft. The beans are custom roasted and the coffee is excellent. The various pastries and muffins are all made daily. The gluten free muffins are amazing and light as a feather. Highly reccomend

This is the best little coffee shop nuzzled in the corner of Los Osos. The coffee is fantabulous, and they have gluten free options on the menu that are amazingly delishious! I can appreciate that what they have to offer is organic and that they make their own almond milk, what's not to love! The service is very friendly and the vibe of this place is just spectacular. The photography on the walls were a plus and just beautiful! Whom ever this photographer is, I like what you have to offer! If you are in Los Osos and you have a chance to stop by, I would highly recommend this quent little place. It's not just another coffee shop!

This shop is legit. A little quiet since there was no music playing, but I enjoyed the vibe of the store, the espresso was good, the drip was good, and the bread pudding was BOMB. The folks running the shop were very nice and not over zealous about what they had to offer, which is very nice. Thanks for the good experience, Los Osos is a better place for you being there.
