Compass Coffee - Vancouver, Washington

Coffee shop reviews: Just a girl helping out other coffee shop lovers find a good shop to visit. Just did a review for the other location in main st downtown Vancouver. This shop is bar far the best one and just overall a 10/10, been to this location since they removed the one in Portland( coolest one). Always friendly baristas and great service! The vibes in here are calm and I like how it doesn’t get over crowded or overwhelmed like the main st shop. I’m trying to gate keeps this one but my coffee connoisseur deserve to know about this location. I highly recommend this one, the only downside is that when entering this location you have to be careful because of incoming traffic and there no middle lane to wait in while cars are passing by.

We just had the most amazing experience at Compass Coffee off of NE 72nd in Vancouver. Aubrey was such a friendly and welcoming host for our morning coffee date. We chose vanilla lattes and shared the monkey bread. Whoa - get the buttery goodness that is the monkey bread. Aubrey made us the most delicious lattes too. Fast service, awesome staff and great atmosphere! We will be back - 10/10!

Love this place, has a mild bohemian interior.. some Antique repurposed furniture.. feels like a home environment. The keep the music at a mild level which makes it conducive for that remote work. And they make good coffee.

A great locally owned coffee shop especially when you want to avoid the Starbucks vibe. I always feel so focused when I come here to work and the baristas are friendly and kind. It's also the home of a coffee company so you see them developing their blends! Enjoy !

In this life when we search for true places, when we seek meaningful conversations in the company of good people it helps to know what direction you want to take in your life.
It helps to have a goal, to hold it in your heart like a pure north, and for that… a compass can be crucial. In this case, that Compass happens to be a place.

What makes Compass Coffee special, beyond the simple menu and the basic decor is the honesty of what it is. A place where a craft is being pursued by people who believe in what they are doing. That my friends, is an aroma that has permeated the very molecular structure of the building! it will never be same. The smell of honest well roasted coffee is deep and welcoming as you approach their door and the staff was kind and patient, which is an added treasure to a coffee that was perfect.

There is an honesty about a place that was created first to roast and craft and then evolved later into customer service instead of the other way around. It was an accident. The way crystals grow in the ground by accident or the wind shapes beautiful rocks formations in the desert.

Because out there on Saint John’s, it really is kind of a desert and they really do need something special. An oasis, a port in the storm, a familiar door, a welcoming face, because it’s bleak out there. And a place to stop and sit and talk and tell stories and a have a cup of coffee is transformative, not only for the participants, but for the community.

Such a great hidden gem. The barista was so nice and helpful. The latte I got was delicious and the latte art was beautiful. I loved the almond scone and the atmosphere.

Newly updated addition to the best coffee roaster near Hazel Del, and they always have freshly roasted beans to try. I always get espresso with a compliment pallet cleanser.

It’s so nice to have the big garage door open. Lots more seating available now too for larger parties. There’s some plugs to charge your computer and the music/vibe is always nice too.

The coffee here is great! My iced muscavato breve was off the hook. So good. The service was great, the lady pulling the shots (I think her name was Royale) was sweet and friendly! Cute interior and great atmosphere as well. Would give way more stars if possible!
