Compass Coffee

Compass Coffee was founded in Washington, DC with a mission to make people’s days better through simple, real good coffee. Since opening their original Shaw location, they’ve become a symbol of local pride, growing steadily while maintaining a strong commitment to quality and community. Their focus on transparency and traceability has set a new standard for local roasters. Compass actively supports local events and initiatives, reflecting a broader vision of positive urban impact.

At Compass Coffee, every cup is brewed with precision, from their signature blends to single-origin offerings. The baristas are knowledgeable and approachable, eager to share recommendations or explain their meticulous brewing process. Seasonal specials like the Honey Lavender Latte and nitro cold brew stand out for their balance and creativity. A thoughtfully curated pastry selection complements the drinks, with ample seating for both solo work and group gatherings. Drinks are served in sturdy, attractive mugs for dine-in or eco-friendly to-go cups.
