Everything was very quick and good. I first tried a lavender matcha latte, and it was amazing. It will be my best coffee this year. My husband took a hot latte, and it was very good.

The chai was good, cheddar chive scone was good, but the service and ambiance were top notch. Rhamia was so friendly and kind and just went the extra mile on an already hard day for me. Also love all the little nooks to sip you coffee or tea.

Overall underwhelming experience. The sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich was chewy and tasteless. While the coffee was acceptable, the atmosphere was far from conducive to work. The staff, though friendly, were disruptively loud with their conversations and laughter. I wouldn't recommend it.

The person who helped me was not friendly at all. She was kind of hostile. It was bad that because usually the service in other compass stores have been very friendly, knowledgeable and kind.

Awesome Baristas and good coffee. One of my favorite compass locations

I’m a regular here and the manager here is truly the best. I’ve overheard her talking with her regional manager about her leadership approach. I truly wish she was my boss when I worked retail 🥹 The staff are friendly and personable. The cafe is always clean. It’s common to see the staff greeting and chatting with community members (staff from the neighboring elementary school, police, and regulars). For a “chain” coffee shop, it has a community feel. Check out their community button board. PS I love that compass does not charge extra for oat, almond, and other alternative molks!

came for a coffee before my shift at the bar. cherry blossom brew was lukewarm and watered down. 5$ for a “large” at least make it fresh. 7/11 has better coffee. wish i went there instead

Decided to stop in before heading downtown Saturday. Cafe was the busiest l've seen in a long time. The line was knocked out super quickly and my cherry blossom latte was amazing.
