Everything was amazing here! The inside was beautifully decorated for the holidays. They had a nice seasonal selection of food and drinks. I had the Van Peppermint mocha which had a toasted marshmallow on top. I usually don't like peppermint mochas as they're overly sweet but this was perfect. I got the pumpkin spice muffin and that was yummy. Everything was quick to come out even with how busy it was. read more

I'm a decaf girlie and I got the one of the best decaf americanos here. Vibe is chill, service was friendly.

I've seen a lot of good reviews of this place so decided to try it. it's a cute coffee shop on the corner and the inside is decorated nicely.. the coffee shop was crowded The Cappuccinos were good but sloppy. For a coffee place in a place as close to Portland you just hold them to a higher standard. In terms of customer service: nothing to rave about.. the employees were talking amongst themselves and we waited for them to come and ask us if we were ready to order.. Overall: I'd give another coffee shop in town a go next time I'm out for my morning cap read more

Mid menu, awful chai, snotty baristas. 0/5. I would not recommend, literally a waste of money and experience.

Monkey bread muffin and ocean bun was delicious warmed up. Coffee was pretty good too. Great customer care and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. read more

The best coffee in Vancouver downtown and the help are the best. Have a cup weekly. It's so good

My favorite coffee shop in the area. Baristas are great & coffee is amazing. They also have a great variety of foods to choose from. You won't regret coming to Compass!! read more

Solid coffee. Decent atmosphere. Friendly baristas. Price is wild. The most expensive coffee shop I've been to. I mean...Blue Bottle? Intelligentsia? Stumptown? Heart? You name it. I ordered a 12oz iced mocha w/Oat milk. $8.50. read more

Today, September 24, 2025, @ approximately 6:30 AM, I experienced two terrible baristas working at Compass Coffee while vacationing. Coffee in the morning and a general pleasant interaction can be one of the highlights of my day. Unfortunately, the Wednesday morning crew had a rough start. read more

This has been my go-to in the neighborhood and seems to be for others too based on the number of people I see in there every time. Cute-relaxed vibe and there is plenty of space and seating. They have a good mix of industrial yet warm décor elements and makes the whole place look very inviting .The coffee is good albeit overpriced for the small size of cups they use. The staff is efficient even though I do not find them particularly friendly. The baked goods have been a hit or miss kind of situation for me here but I like that they have some fun and unique options to try . read more

Sad to say, this will be our last time here. We've been coming here for the last two years. Used to be vibrant with music playing. In the past we've had several instances of warm or cold coffee. This time they did not disappoint. Both of our coffees were lukewarm. Also, the in-house coffee mugs are smaller and the price went up. Service was fine but I don't blame the workers. I blame the owners for not providing the staff with the proper equipment to keep your coffee HOT. How hard is this? Especially with a price increase and smaller mugs. Do better. read more

While me and my gf were waiting for the 105 we saw this cute coffee shop and decided to try it out. The interior design was amazing, giving it a unique vibe to hang out with others or study. The service was also good. I got a cappuccino which was very good. However, the cup gave off a unique taste. Not so much so that it ruined my cappuccino but enough for me to notice. As for my gf, she was upset at the small menu selection. read more

We popped in for a quick coffee and drank it there. We ordered a small mocha & a medium Goldie latte (turmeric latte with house-blend of many other spices as well). Service was quick, but both of our beverages were just lukewarm as soon as we received them, so perhaps the milk wasn't properly heated first. The both tasted good, other than the temperature. And if you like a spicy chai, you'll enjoy the taste of the Goldie. read more

I ordered a cappuccino from here. It was solid and I would definitely be interested in trying more of their coffees. It's kinda intimidating walking in not knowing how it all works. It's something that a lot of coffee shops struggle with in my opinion. The staff does a good job bringing you in and helping you with the order process. I also ordered a parfait, which was a great snack after a vacation full of snacks and treats. read more

Super cute coffee shop with great coffee, always busy so be prepared for a little crowded, but busy for a reason I guess. I really like their house matcha and breakfast burrito. Little pricey tho. read more

I've gone in here multiple times before getting a tattoo across the street and each time the staff has been so uppity and rude. Just giving off mean girl energy with zero warmth or customer service. Definitely don't give off girl's girls vibes. The food/coffee was fine but not worth the terrible service. read more

Compass reliably has the best coffee in Vancouver. Stop by to pick up deliciously roasted and ethically sourced coffee beans for home, and stay for the delicious coffee brewed by knowledgeable baristas.

my favorite coffee shop i love to come here they have great service ans my favorite matcha! and great vibes

They have gluten free pastries I wish was more out for display! I wish they clarified that my matcha latte was iced and foamy. I was surprised the ice lasted so long and didn't water it down, but I'd prefer it hot. The service was fast, as soon I was done ordering it was already available on the counter Cute vibes, kind of confusing where to order because of the counter placement. But it's a fun place to go read more

Great coffee shop near Esther Short Park. The interior is cute and the coffee and food are good. Service here has always been great-- friendly folks working. Definitely worth checking out before the market or whenever you need a bit of pick-me-up during the day. read more

I give this place 2 stars because the coffee is ok, but it's way overpriced and the service is terrible.. I had been told the service was bad, I find out why.. to the girls that work there, I have a novel idea.. how about you actually do your job instead of texting on your phone.. I know your social media is probably important to you but there's a line of people trying to spend their money waiting for you to update your status Bit of a fail read more

So totally love this place but today I am sad because I ordered their sugar cookie latte expecting a bite sized sugar cookie to come with it and since their fazing out the drink they aren't making the bite sized cookie for the drink any more. This makes me sad. I should've ordered the Sugar and Spice instead. Don't advertise the cookie if your not giving the cookie please and thank you. read more

A coffee shop with a decent black coffee that doesn't taste burnt or watered down is hard to come by. But I've been pleasantly impressed by Compass Coffee. Their lattes and other drinks hold up pretty well too. The shop is small so good luck finding a place to work, read, or have a coffee date during morning hours. Customer service can on occasion be inconsistent and I've even experienced long waits at an empty counter with a line, so be prepared grabbing coffee when heading to work. But hey, it's a small coffee shop, with good coffee, so long lines and short staff days happen. Be pleasant to staff and they'll treat you right. read more

I had to remind myself to make a review because of how much I loved the coffee beans. Amazing coffee and a great selection. I was able to make some awesome cappuccinos at home with these beans.. can't recommend enough ! In store, I love love love the vibes. The staff was so kind and you can tell they know coffee. Very warm and welcoming atmosphere through and through. read more

1 star off because they let animals into the establishment. Great coffees and they sell bagged coffee as well as equipment for making it at home. Nice vibe, cool location, sweet staff, and mellow espresso. We tried lattes and enjoyed the flavor of the coffee very much. Sadly, I can't return as I have severe allergies to animals. May I suggest animals stay outside on the patio? :) read more

Last year I decided to try as many new coffee places in the portland vancouver area as I could and I have tried a few dozen of them. Compass is my number one spot to go. It's a quaint little coffee shop in downtown Vancouver and it gets really busy on the weekends so go early if possible. The baristas are awesome, super helpful and patient. I get the hot oat vanilla latte and it is the best I've ever had. I've also tried a few seasonal drinks and I cannot wait for the peppy van mocha that is one of the drinks they have around Christmas. Go here! read more

My favorite spot in Vancouver downtown, I've been coming here for 5+ years. Not only do I come here for a good cup of a honey latte. Great vibes with the barista, & the vibes are always the best here. Highly recommend read more

Great experience at Compass Coffee. The earl grey latte was delicious! It had an earthy, floral sweetness with a bit of citrus from the orange oil. There were plenty of tables to choose from and the atmosphere was busy but not very loud or overwhelming. It was a good place to get a coffee before heading to the farmers market. read more

The coffee here is very very good and the food looks like it's definitely worthy of the try. I went on a Saturday morning around 9am and it was medium busy in there. Half the seats were being used and there were a few people in line. We ordered two lattes and it took about 25-30 mins from when we entered to get our drinks. That is way too long for only a few people in line and not being packed. The guy making drinks spent more time on his phone than preparing orders. They move at a very leisurely pace so I will potentially be back if I'm not in a rush but not somewhere you want to go when you have somewhere to be or want to stay on any sort of schedule. read more

I stopped through here on a trip back to Seattle late in the afternoon because I needed some extra energy. I got a 12 oz oat milk latte with their muscovado sweetener (I had to ask what that was!). I really wasn't expecting too much, just an average latte, but I must say it was probably one of, if not the best, latte I had ever had. It wasn't too strong or too oat milky but I could still really taste the espresso and the complexity of it. It was amazing! I was seriously impressed and definitely will be back. read more

I have been a customer for a few years and stop by when I get the chance whilst in town. Can definitely say that their coffee is always 100% and I've tried different things in their menu; I've never had any disappointments! Their staff is super friendly and is a really nice place to have a hangout with a few people or just to come and read a book! (: read more
