Compass Coffee

This is not a particularly cozy coffee shop. It's very open and industrial. But the coffee is very good. I got a large sugar free vanilla cold brew to go (for $7), and it was delicious. They also had a few winter specials, like gingerbread cold brew. They didn't have any coffee cup temperature barriers with the lids and straws.

Busy but with good reason. Coffee is great, lots of seating, and the coffee comes out quick! Love it.

I usually enjoy Compass Coffee, but my recent visit to the Rosslyn location was really disappointing. I placed a simple coffee order and was told it needed to be brewed, which was fine - I waited patiently. But the barista kept taking new orders instead of starting mine. After about 10 minutes, when I politely checked in because I had to get back to the office, I was told the coffee hadn’t even been brewed yet. I ended up canceling and leaving without anything after wasting so much time. I understand they may have been short-staffed, but orders already placed should be prioritized. Unfortunately, this experience left me feeling like this location isn’t reliable and I’ll be avoiding it going forward.

Great coffee, quick service, friendly staff, & plenty of seating - 10/10 coffee shop for me!! ☕️ Also to add, came here before marine corp marathons, they opened an hour early, coffees were coming out quickly, & they did it all with a smile!

Compass Coffee in Rosslyn is, as expected, very clean with friendly staff and a great atmosphere. They have a nice variety of matcha drinks, so I decided to try one—while it wasn’t overly sweet, the flavor was lighter and less distinctive than I expected. On the other hand, their iced Americano is excellent and definitely worth ordering.
