Compass Coffee

The baristas are super friendly -- and the pace is super cute. I don't really want anyone else to show up because it's my secret hideaway where I can sit with my computer (with free wifi) and get work done, sip amazing espresso, and hang out all day and feel like I'm back in Seattle.

(Paid) street parking even seems to be rather readily available.

I hope no one else finds out about this place...

This is not only a fantastic coffee provider, their coffee has such wonderful flavor and is true to its description. But more importantly they are a great member of the community. It is so wonderful to have a trans safe space where I can enjoy my coffee and conversations with friends with no worries.

Thank you Compass for improving the neighborhood

Stopped by here and it was pretty hoppin' with empty seats being tough to find. Tried their caramel macchiato and some power non-sweet covered fruit. The carob covered fruit (?) was not my fav, but kept them none-the-less in case of a gotta eat something moment.

Months later I saw them and sure enough they were perfect to help me out with a starvation situation.

Nothing special so 3 starts to start. Been here only once. Wil see if I ever return to bump up their stars.

This cafe has a great vibe, and is the perfect spot to kill an hour between meetings while getting your caffeine fix. Great coffee, pastries, and I can't believe they came out in support of crypto too - totally awesome. Definitely a business I'm a fan of and will come back to every time I'm visiting DC.

I tried the new one in Falls Church this morning. The staff was friendly and helpful. My order was wrong and the coffee bitter. They're more expensive than Starbucks for a lesser quality. I won't be back. Again, the employees were wonderful.

The pumpkin spice latte served here is really good, it's better than what I typically get from Starbucks. The latte art was really cute. I received fast and friendly service from the staff I interacted with.

I love compass coffee and this location didn't disappoint! The coffee itself is fantastic, plus I enjoyed the music, and availability of seating. The staff were especially friendly too. My half-sweet extra hot gingerbread latte was spot on and I had a little splash of sparkling water on the side

Cute coffee shop I stumbled across walking around the city. They have breakfast items as well as drinks. Wide variety of coffee, teas, & juices. The cashier was very helpful in me picking what I wanted. I tried the Matcha lemonade & it was pretty good. I prefer plain matcha but this was a nice mix to it. I'll have to come back to try their other drinks.

I'm not sure what happened to Compass Coffee...I used to go to Compass Coffee every single time I came to DC, which was often.

The Matcha Latte pre-pandemic (early 2019) was only $3.50. It was $6.15 today!!! Furthermore, the matcha was diluted and tasted awful. Looks like the menu expanded too, we wanted to order a couple of vanilla lattes which was off the menu. The barista said they still sell the vanilla lattes but it's just not on the menu.

I appreciate the effort to be sustainable but the compostable straws snap as you remove the paper.
Super fragile!

I was very sad today! Not sure what's going, will try another location...

A popular DC chain, this location is no different. I find their coffees to be a bit acidic but well extracted. I tried the lemon pound cake and it was moist and not overly sweet. The interior decor is nice and would be amenable to studying or a quick pick up. The servers were kind.

This location is across from Capital One Arena. The coffee shop is comfy. Locals seem to enjoy bringing their laptops and chatting with friends.
