This is my favorite coffee place in DC, and not just because it's conveniently located. The staff is fantastic and friendly.

Caden, the manager at Compass Coffee on H Street/18th (and another location) is that kind random stranger I needed on a day/week where I was searching for a warm smile; just to connect with someone, if only briefly.

Fantastic coffee both store made and the beans that was kindly ground for us to take back for the coffee machine in the apartments opposite. Both members of staff we came across both days were lovely. Especially the Arsenal fan! 👊🏻 New favourite coffee shop when in DC.

I stopped in since it was a recommended place on InKind. This is truly coffee only. All snacks are over priced prepackaged items. The pumpkin spice late was awfu even after it was remade. The workers were nice and seemed efficient. The place was too loud to read or focus. I wasted time and money.
