This coffeehouse-by-day/wine-bar-by-night is the Design District’s creative hub. On any given day, you’ll find Dallas’ most sought-after interior designers and photographers sharing their portfolios and a carafe of Ascension’s single-origin pour-over coffee with their new clients. You can also make a meal of it at Ascension with paninis for lunch and more ambitious dishes, such as lamb meatballs and shrimp Mozambique, for dinner.
