"Shaw’s new all‑day spot brings back a traditional take on khachapuri that its predecessor Compass Rose executed well for years, a welcome revival for fans of the classic preparation." - Adele Chapin

Sook - Review - Shaw - Washington DC - The Infatuation

"Compass Roseis now Sook, an all-day cafe and wine bar serving breakfast khachapuri loaded with cheese, za’atar, and eggs. You can pair it with specialty drinks like a ginger tamarind espresso tonic or a matcha rose latte, both of which seem specifically engineered to make mornings feel less bleak." - Omnia Saed

The D.C.-Area Restaurant Openings You Should Know About This November | Eater DC

"A more grown-up evolution of Compass Rose, this all-day cafe and wine bar in the same historic townhouse now opens with a limited breakfast menu and an all-day menu coming in December. It’s designed for grab-and-go coffee or pastries, a casual bar hangout, a workplace, or a quick bite anytime, with traditional Lebanese breakfast options like za’atar toast, pistachio buns, labneh yogurt with granola and apricots, and a platter of feta, manoushe, Persian cucumber, and tomatoes served on labneh. More American-leaning choices include a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich and an everything-spiced croissant, complemented by a Lost Sock Roasters coffee program featuring a fig leaf latte and ginger tamarind espresso tonics; for now, hours run 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily." - Emily Venezky

Came for lunch and loved the fig leaf latte and chicken wrap, but the kachapuri was just okay. The back area was super cute to sit in. If you want to try their pastries, make sure to come early since they had sold out by noon.

This place has awesome vibes if you’re looking for a coffee shop to sit in. I tried the Lebanese breakfast and Khachapuri, and a cappuccino. On the cappuccino front, I think there’s definitely room for improvement in terms of milk steaming. As far as food, both of the dishes I had were delicious and I will definitely be back!

If you’re looking for a place with a unique identity, a wide range of lattes or wine or spritzes, and incredible shareable bites THIS is your spot. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. And the atmosphere is so cozy, you never want to leave!

Great food and service. Love the cozy atmosphere in the back, especially the comfy seating. The flatbread was tasty and the spice bag was a pleasant delight, the roasted potatoes and vegetables inside were crispy.

Loved the old compass rose. This has great food and a really cool atmosphere! Tons of seating at tables and bar.

I adore this place but I am begging them to turn the music down. It is so loud you can barely hold a conversation or hear yourself think and the music is not the vibe for such a cute and cozy place. Great coffee tho !!
