"First and foremost, excellent service and a delicious iced matcha latte, but shame on the management of this place for requiring their workers to keep the entrance door propped open on a blazing-hot 99f degree summer day."

"I visited one of their stores a few days earlier and was happy to receive a free coffee voucher to visit again. Had a perfectly brewed americano. Both times there has been a happy and fun vibe in the place and staff look like they are having a good time."

"What can I say? I found out about Compass Coffee the first time I had a Big Daddy coffee at the Takoma Busboys and Poets. I asked if I could buy the coffee. Nope. Had to go to Shaw (its only outlet at the time) to buy the coffee, which I did. Compass Coffee has made it easier to order over time, but the one thing they have NOT done is open a store closer than Shaw to where I live in Takoma Park. Oh, well. Not a lot of day traffic, I'm guessing. I would buy in person more often, but the stores do not exist where I usually am."
