Compass Coffee
4710 Langston Blvd., Arlington, VA
Crema's Take
“This Arlington outpost of Compass Coffee wins over regulars with genuinely skilled baristas who nail both traditional espresso drinks and carefully crafted pour overs, even if the location itself struggles with inconsistent execution and a frustratingly sluggish service vibe. The coffee quality shines through enough to keep people coming back despite the mediocre grab-and-go food and occasional temperature mishaps, suggesting that what you're really here for is that perfectly pulled shot in the hands of a personable pro. If you can look past the operational growing pains, you'll find a neighborhood spot where the coffee craft actually matters.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. Light food on the menu.

The breakfast sandwiches are so incredibly mediocre. I thought they were going to be relatively made to order but they are as frozen and as pre-made looking and tasting as it gets. Definitely do not recommend a single breakfast sandwich. Starbucks as better quality and that’s…
I ordered a caramel Latte and a sandwich. The sandwich was fine but my coffee was not hot it was warm. I was disappointed I was looking forward to a hot cup of coffee/latte
LOVE Compass Coffee but I agree with other reviewers here that this is a HORRIBLE location. Unbothered would be the best way to describe their customer service. No sense of urgency. The only way to know if you got the right order is to open everything up or taste it before you…
Drive thru at around 5:15pm today. I like the matcha tea latte from Compass. Today, I saw that they have new ones in their menu. I ordered Matcha Freeze so I can have something to drink on my way home. The service at the drive thru was good. Waited for my order and when the guy…
