Stale food, cold coffee despite requesting a hot coffee, rude and very, very slow and lazy staff. #gowokegobroke. Better to got next door to Starbucks or Black coffee. Ridiculously bad for an urban coffee shop.Parking: Depends on timing regarding parking and availability

The cherry blossom latte does not look like the pictures it’s more orange than pink and it doesn’t taste good, especially for 7$

I usually love compass coffee!! It has great drinks and food! However, I went to this one to get the cherry blossom drink and while i was waiting for it the baristas made fun of it and said they “judge anyone” who orders the cherry blossoms drink :( i was so excited to try it ?i was kinda surprised that they didn’t even see me sitting at the bar waiting for the drink… I will be going back because I love compass, I just thought it was kinda rude of them to talk about how the drink has “red dye microplastics” in it… in front of me…. like now i dont want to drink it! I feel so bad writing a review on this place because I truly like it so much, but the judging of the drinks just needs to be behind closed doors instead of right in front of the customer!
I want to start by saying that I really want to like this location, certain staff members are truly wonderful people. But, I am having to update this review to include another consistent issue. This one is regarding shop cleanliness. The conditions of the bathrooms are often quite dirty and the tables and chairs are always a mess. I’m not sure if the closing staff are told that they dont have to clean, but in the mornings the shop is always dirty. The bathrooms, specifically, smell disgusting. I often have to hold my breath upon entering. While this is quite an issue, it could be easily solved by simply turning on the fans in the bathroom so that the air does not stagnate. This is a health concern given that inhaling stagnant air which contains a plethora of germs can easily cause sickness to spread. I really hope that the staff see this as an issue that is easily fixable and decide to take action.I truly enjoy coming here. It’s a very nice step up from the shabby Starbucks that are nearby. My only reservation is that if you want to spend an extended period of time here, then bring earplugs. The music is always INCREDIBLY loud and usually NOT coffee shop music. There have been days that they play music that seems to be hard rock or metal. If the music was quiet and pleasant, such as jazz, then this location would be the best!Parking: This area is incredibly difficult to park in. It’s truly incredible how everyday, during all hours, it is packed. Also make sure to turn your wind mirrors in because if you don’t they WILL be hit. It happens more than it should.

The service was good. I ordered ahead on the app a pumpkin bread with icing to go. This location is huge and busy! Best to order in advance and pick up. It took 15 minutes from order placed to order completion. The staff were friendly. I'd come back, especially with all the ample seating and free Wifi. There is a nearby lot you could park at or opt for street parking.
