Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"its my first time coming here! and the service was really good, he even gave us some syrup to try first, my sisters ordered almond butter latte & its super good!!"
"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."
"Go-to coffee shop. Love the coffee, breakfast sandwiches and the consistent quality service by all of the team members. A hit atmosphere and overall great experience time and time again. Kudos and to continue visiting and referring."
"Thoroughly enjoyed my coffee, breakfast sandwich and sunrise drink. Very friend staff. Nice environment. Walking distance or scooter your way over here. Will be coming back when I visit DC again."
"I was at a Starbucks near by and it offered tables, no seats and no bathroom. That was my queue to get out of there Compass coffee was a refreshing contrast for an inviting atmosphere. Very nice coffee shop. Clean and quick service. Even has seats and a restroom."
"This was THE MOST amazing cup of hot cocoa I’ve EVER had! Eugene was awesome & super friendly. The whole team was friendly!"
"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."
