Compass

Wonderful Atmosphere, Fantastic Menu & a Lovely Place for Conversation. The Cookies are Especially Delicious 😊

Great place! Super cute, staff is very friendly. One of my favorite spots to meet up for group projects. They do great work for the community, and Elizabeth's bookshop has been a fantastic addition.

I've come here multiple times in the past, I discovered it in the 2021 Drip Drive. My boyfriend and I were completing this year's Drip Drive and know that Compass Coffee is also on the Akronite App. For those unfamiliar, it's an app that tracks your spending at Akron businesses and you earn points you can spend at participating Akron locations. I've redeemed my Akronite points at Compass Coffee in the past, that's how I know for a fact they do accept the Akronite points. However this time, I was told I could not use my Akronite points, which I had saved up $32! I was very disappointed to hear this and probably will not be back due to this. My boyfriend and I already got our stamp for the Drip Drive so we don't need to be back. It was a nice place to grab coffee, with a nice atmosphere. *update we were waiting 20 minutes after getting our breakfast sandwiches for our drinks. After my boyfriend walked up there to ask where our drinks were he said he forgot all about them. After getting his drink, he noticed it was a small instead of the 16 Oz we had paid for. We didn't care to wait any longer to bring this to his attention. We definitely won't return. ** after trying my CHAI LATTE I almost swallowed a whole Coffee bean. Why is there Coffee beans in my tea??

The coffee was good, the scones and croissants were tasteless blobs.

I visited Compass on a Monday afternoon. I called before I went just to make sure they were open. The woman on the phone was so kind and welcoming. They are really easy to find following her directions to a t. The place is soooo cute. It is nice, spacious, and clean. The coffee is really good to and comparable to the large chains. If you have an opportunity to support this locally owned place, please do so. I will be sure to return.

Best coffee in Akron! Great staff too!

I was visiting Akron for the day and I felt in the mood to try this place cause I like trying coffee shops and I get around by bus and this place told me there not serving me cause I they said I am homeless excuse me I am not a homeless person. I have a job and money how dare I get judge just cause I have a scruffy beard does not mean I am homeless don’t judge someone base on there looks this place should learn not to judge people. As you can see I am an average person like anyone else.

It's OK. Lots of space, but there's no comfy easy chairs like what's shown in some photos and sitting at the counter by the windows is darn right uncomfortable. The stools are very small (like made for kids) and you can't lean back in them very well. Even the chairs at the tables look small and uncomfortable. You can barely see out the windows so it's abit garage-like in there. The Americano was average at best. Tasted like the bulk Maxwell House my mom lives on so that was disappointing. Maybe the regular drip brew is better, but I can't see how. The barista was very nice, though. Vibe means alot to my coffee experience, so maybe if they bring back the cushy, comfort seating and exchange their tiny chairs for real adults seats I'll enjoy it better.

Great new local coffee shop, and aims to give back to the local community, which is a nice bonus. My coffee and chocolate croissant were very tasty. Folks here actually know coffee, so no turn-and-churn Starbucks stuff. Very loft-style aesthetic. Open mic night on Tuesdays at 7:30. Definitely on my new must-visit list.

This place is perfect for a coffee/tea loving college student. Their hours are really great as opposed to most local coffee shops that close extremely early. The atmosphere is great for hanging out with friends or studying quietly. And most importantly, their coffee/tea selection is wonderful. I will definitely be back!
