It has great espresso drinks , its open decent hours, there is plenty of space & lighting, and the music is at a decent volume. I couldn't ask for anything more from a good neighborhood coffee house !

Andrea Carnes

Such a light, clean and open space ! I got a pound of coffee ground to go as I was staying nearby. Delicious coffee and it came with a free small coffee . I look forward to going back!

Bon Appetit Magazine

For a caffeine kick in the pants , sip on an Espresso Cola, an unholy combination of Mexican Coca-Cola and two shots of espresso . Another must-try: The Nutella mocha . Yes, Nutella . Read more

They have a great Lavender Earl Grey , a Jasmine Green, and a handful of herbal blends like Raspberry Rose Petal and Moroccan Mint that should satisfy most tea aficionados. Read more

Amy Graff

Worth the hype and the wait. The iced coffee on nitro is the smoothest I've ever had and their seasonal drinks , weird as they may sound, are spot on. Love the mint cold brew . Trust.

Rachel Clark

On a warm day, get a maple cold brew . On a chilly day, get a Nutella mocha . And pick up vegan baked goods from Sticky Fingers no matter what. Don't count on there being space to eat in, though.

Bitches Who Brunch

Our favorite local coffee shop in DC ! High-quality coffee and tea , great granola and free WiFi make for a perfect "office ." Wifi password is "realgood"

Jeremy Thomas

Love this place! The staff is incredibly nice and real. Coffee is delicious and locally roasted. Wifi is free and beans are great for home brews .

Ryan

So much to like here. If you sit at the back, you can see some roasting operations in action. If you sit at the front, you can people watch the street.

Sarah

Their hot chocolate is light but surprisingly good , their coffee is a a bit strong to me , you will be surrounded by students and young professions doing their work????

tracefact

It smells buttery and delicious in here! Biscuits were pretty good and the Nutella mocha was yummy. Glad to have Compass in the neighbourhood. AND they spelled my name right. Your move, Starbucks.

Behrad Eats

Great independent coffee shop to pick up a delicious latte in the Shaw neighborhood .

Steven Androphy

Best chai in DC, hands down. Their chocolate chip cookies are killer, too.

Ted M

All the coffee drinks are excellent. Nice cozy place to sip on a drink, catch up or get lost in thought.

Washington Post

We followed the caffeine-fueled story of two ex-Marines opening this coffeeshop and roastery in Shaw. Read more

Mark J.

Great coffee , friendly and knowledgeable staff , and a great space. Also, the biscuits are to die for.

Brent Madison

Regardless of all the construction going on 7th Street, this is THE best coffee shop in DC . Period.

Bryan S

Veteran owned, 30% police/fire/military discount . Oh, and the coffee 's great too. Small amount of outdoor seating is a bonus.

Tim Shea

Nice scene inside, good place to do work and/or hang out, but overall kind of a lackluster experience.

Ingrid Wong

The best lavender latte I've ever had. Their Cardinal blend is also very good.

Sandra Rubinchik

Really spacious . But if you're riding solo, grab a bar stool, not a table.

Leandro Lagera

Legit Haven for Hipsters . Oh what a crowd but great coffee and vibe.

morg

Lots of space, good coffee (if a bit pricy ) and a feel-good small business success story

Melvin

Atmosphere is good. Wonderfully designed on the inside. Pretty good pour over coffee .

Kaz K.

It can get extremely crowded with the study crowd on the weekends, but you can always squeeze in somewhere.

Josh Higgins

Great coffee . They roast it themselves. Try the Nutella mocha .

Venitra Taylor

This place is really nice. The baristas are excellent and they have great finger food.

Nicole Stahlecker

Chai is not super spicy . Great coffee and fun atmosphere

Anthony DeLuise

Best coffee in DC, also the worst line . Maybe get a second Square or something??

Chris R (thechristophe)

Decent coffee , free WiFi , super hipster , bean roasting on site.

Jaron L

Small mocha is a near perfect balance of coffee and sweetness.

Borys Pierov

No matter how many times I try and what location I go to for me their coffee is amazingly uniformly awful.

Chris Fredericks

I can't rave enough about this place. Normally I don't like indie coffeehouses , but these guys have NAILED it!

Shawn Cook

Very cool coffee shop . The coffee is delish.

Sarai Johnson

The coffee here is so incredibly high-quality.
