Compass Coffee

Just throwing in another 5-star review. The coffee and customer service is outstanding. It’s also not soulless like Starbucks. In addition they also have a good selection of coffee gear if you need a grinder or an aero press.

Not much food like a Starbucks but that’s not a big deal. Their coffee is way better.

Almond butter latte was very good but it was served warm, not hot.
Drinks are expensive but it's worth it. The only downside about this cafe is that it closes little early.

Here are some things I love about this place:
The aesthetic and ambience are perfect for studying or catching up with a friend. They have simple syrup available to sweeten iced drinks. They have ample seating and tons of outlets! And they have some darn good coffee.

The staff is also very friendly! Be sure to check it out 👍🏼

It’s a good thing this is a big coffee shop because it seems to be always packed. Lots of comfortable seating and various sizes of tables both indoors and out. Plenty of outlets if you’re trying to get some work done. The coffee is very good and alternative oat milk or almond milk is free - no up-charge, which is nice. Prices are what you’d expect for an independent coffee spot but they lose a star for lack of flavor options it looks like they rotate in two options seasonally - currently the turmeric honey latte and a Nutella mocha are the specialties. Also, they have the smallest “medium” cup I’ve seen in a while. Most places this would be small and a dollar cheaper. The parking lot is very small and tight but there’s an Amazon fresh lot across the way if you can’t find parking in front.

I recently tried a cappuccino and I have to say, it was delicious. The aroma of the coffee was strong and inviting, with hints of chocolate and toasted nuts. The foam was thick and creamy, and the espresso was smooth and rich in flavor.

The cappuccino was served at the right temperature and had a good balance of espresso, steamed milk, and foam. The milk was frothed to perfection, with a velvety texture that added a nice creaminess to the drink. The espresso had a good depth of flavor, without being too bitter or overpowering.

The presentation of the cappuccino was also impressive, with beautiful latte art on top. The drink was served in a nice, clean cup, which added to the overall experience.

Overall, I was very satisfied with this cappuccino and would recommend it to other coffee lovers. Its smooth texture, rich flavor, and inviting aroma made for a truly enjoyable drinking experience.

Very consistent and good coffee shop across the board! I have been to several locations throughout Northern Virginia and Washington, DC… and now I added this one, and I liked it as well!

Good coffee, bright open atmosphere. Don’t care for the low bar stool seating but there are other seating options if not too crowded.

I ordered an almond butter latte with oat milk -- smooth, robust, not too sweet. Better than anything coffee-adjacent Starbucks can come up with. Tip is included with the cost of the order; worth it IMHO. Beautiful sitting/eating area perfect for mobile work. They take orders right up to closing time. Make this your new go-to ☕️ place!

Very friendly staff. Great espresso. Good atmosphere and vibes. Parking right out front. Open early as hell like I am. Checks all my boxes. One interesting note: only coffee place that doesn't prompt you to tip when paying. Interesting.

Great coffee, great environment! Their maple cold brew is really good, only about 7 months left before they put it back on the menu again. This place can get really crowded, but you can’t blame them, this is a great place to read, study, catch up with friends, all while drinking really good coffee.
