Compass Coffee - Washington DC

I've been stopping by Compass Coffee on my way to work as it's directly on my route. Really the only rhyme or reason I chose it over the multitude of cutesy coffee houses was convenience. However, their rapid and exact service has cemented my patronage. The coffee has been good, the maple latte is particularly delicious and their Americanos are sublime. Still nothing to whip out my phone and land a review...except this morning...I decided to treat myself for my birthday and spring for the little lemon cake....and what a treat indeed....as a connoisseur of lemon loafs...I can say I have arrived....the frosting is a bed of decadence housing a mouthwatering, moist sponge of succulent sweet cake. The perfect balance of sharp lemon and saccharine. I think my week may have just peaked.

Visiting DC and I had the almond butter latte with almond milk. Wow!! It was delicious!!! Didn’t even add a shot like I usually do but it was perfectly bold and balanced. They even had some great music playing when I came in. If I lived in the area I’d definitely be a regular. The young man that made my drink was nice but the girl at the register should have just called out today. I didn’t stay or try any pastries but overall pleased with my experience.

Delicious coffee. Wonderful team. Incredibly warm (temperature) environment during summer mornings, due to sunlight.

Great DC chain for coffee and snacks. Traditional coffee offerings with some fun additions like Mint Cold Brew. This location is across the street from the McPherson Square Metro Exit. Recommended for grabbing coffee when commuting or touring the city, fairly busy and not much seating available for working.

Really good coffee at a decent price. They had plenty of options too. I got a regular single shot of espresso with a plain croissant. The croissant was huge and the espresso was delicious. They also had a nice variety of teas. The seating they have is limited and not the most comfortable, I don't think I would get a coffee to stay to read a book. But I went because I wanted good coffee and that's exactly what I got.
