Wonderful Coffee, great scones and even better coffee cake. Very friendly service to boot. Primarily indoor seating but a table chairs and bench outside as well. My Breve was well crafted, one of the better ones I've had on this Alaska trip. Companions latte also very good. Find the local joints... well I think there are only local joints in Haines :) read more

See all

The service was great and the coffee was okay. This was the only option open when I passed through but I must say it is not far from perfection for this small town. read more

I would give the rusty compass 1000 stars if I could. I visited Haines 2 years ago and have thought of my iced vanilla chai every single day since then. I have considered flying back to Haines just to get this chai again. I have told everyone I know to go to the rusty compass and get an iced vanilla chai. Truly yearning for this chai everyday for the last 2 years I cannot recommend this coffee shop enough anything you order here will be amazing. read more

Excellent spot for coffee drinks, sandwiches, and hanging out. Food was great, and the staff were super friendly!!, I'd recommend them to anybody visiting Haines! read more

Great coffee, but when we went to get food before Brewfest 2022...they were completely out of all food. C'mon y'all, put a sign on the door or something! Wish I could say more, but I really didn't get to experience much of this place. I hope they order/make/prep extra food for Brewfest 2023! read more

Love this place. Great coffee and scones. Friendly and personable stuff. Every time I visit Haines it's a daily stop.

Worth stopping by! Nice coffee shop with friendly service on Main Street across from the First National Bank. In addition to coffee, espresso and sodas, they also have ice cream, burritos and other pastries. It was delightful to find such a place on a hot afternoon off the cruise ship. read more

Great coffee, tasty sandwiches and friendly service. We've come back day after day on our trip. Our kids enjoyed looking at the various maps to see where other customers have visited from and marking our city. read more

Iced chai latte vanilla, thumbs up. Spinach Florentine burrito, thumbs up. One gal behind counter was hustling and go-getter, the gal at register was meh about working. Hup to, Private! Overall 5 stars. (PS, no wifi - use the hot spot on your phone) read more

Mid-May 2021: My hotel, which was lovely, didn't have breakfast, so we walked to Rusty Compass every day. I really enjoyed feeling immersed in Haines life and this was part of it. Most customers were locals who knew employees or other patrons. It's a small-ish place, so you can take in everything that's going on. We enjoyed their espresso drinks immensely and service was very friendly. The breakfast food menu isn't extensive, but we found the food hit the spot for adventuring in Haines. read more

Open early. Great service. Great food. Great coffee. Gluten free. Got off the ferry early and was fortunate to find this coffee shop opened at 6:00 AM. Not only that, they served the best bacon I've had in weeks, eggs, and a gluten free toast option as well. Thanks so much for a great start to a busy day. read more

This is obviously a locals favorite and for good reason Good coffee, good food and friendly staff make for a pleasant experience The menu is simple but it works with enough variety for almost anyone I wouldn't hesitate to come here again read more

Be aware wifi is NOT available for customers. Lovely otherwise. Need 85 characters to post a review? Ok I'll keep typing

This morning, we went to the Rusty Compass for breakfast. My wife had the granola with yogurt and I had the chorizo burrito. We also shared a cinnamon roll. Everything was delicious. Service was excellent. read more

Really delicious coffee! Love that they have dairy free alternatives and everything tasted great. I did ask for an iced drink and it came out hot, which is not my preference, but it is what it is. I didn't ask to change it because of the amount of time it took to even get the drink. Be aware, if a lot of people are in town from a cruise, which we were, this place is BUSY! read more

Dirty chai was delicious, and extra points for their gluten free options (brownie, rice crispy treats, and bread though did not inquire about cross contamination). If it was warmer I would have tried their ice cream. read more

Amazing coffee and knowledgeable baristas who are happy to recommend something new. We only had breakfast (burritos and grab and go sandwiches) but they were fantastic. Friendly atmosphere and yummy coffee! read more

A great little coffee shop. Good coffee and fantastic pastries! I shared a gigantic cinnamon roll with my family that was delicious. They also have free wi-fi with your purchase. Seating is more than adequate for a town of 2,000 people, but when another 1,400 tourists come to town off a cruise ship it gets cramped. read more

Very small cozy coffeehouse. Limited seating inside but there are a few tables and chairs outside too. Baristas are very friendly and know their coffee drinks! The baked goodies are excellent, freshly made and hard to resist. We didn't try, and had several scones before we left. There are also freshly baked muffins, cinnamon buns (huge) and cookies. We noticed other customers enjoying soup and/or sandwiches that looked good too. If you arrive by cruise ship this is the place to visit. The Rusty Compass is very convenient being near the dock and since Haines is quite small, it's right downtown. So when you finish your coffee you can shop! Most importantly, they offer free wifi... read more

Great little place. The Steamer's are my favorite. Hot milk with tea. I'm told the Dirty Chia is amazing. And the food is fresh and obviously cooked in house. Which is really refreshing. read more

Rusty Compass Coffeehouse - Vanilla Almond Steamer! Yum - Bakeries Near Me - Haines, Alaska

I went here 3 out of the 4 days I was in Haines (the other day, I tried the other coffeeshop/deli in town, and was sadly disappointed in the bitter coffee there, so quickly returned here!) The coffee is very good - they have a regular and dark roast, both very smooth, not at all bitter. They also have a small selection of breakfast/lunch items and pastries - the breakfast items are served all day, which is awesome. And the pastries are homemade and delicious. It's also a pleasant spot to do work/use wifi - mix of locals and tourists, and the staff is friendly to everyone. read more

Ran into to town for a meeting and arrived early, so I decided to try out this place for a Mocha and snack. Not disappointed with either of my choices, got a Vente Mocha w/Hazelnut and a Huge Cinnamon Roll. The price was about what you would expect it to be for great coffee and food read more

Rusty Compass Coffeehouse - Breakfast burrito. Delish. - Bakeries Near Me - Haines, Alaska

Not the first place I would choose to come for a relaxing cup of coffee. But a good grab and go cafe for anyone There are some great artistic gifts inside and it's no doubt a good place to grab a cup, maybe a sandwich or ice cream, take a look around and go. But it's not big enough or quiet enough to stick around and chill. The staff was super nice and welcoming and at least when I came in they had a nice little playlist going. read more

Delicious food, coffee, friendly folks, definitely be stopping in ever time I'm in Haines!

They make the best blueberry muffins! They always have tasty baked goods that are made fresh everyday. Good place to hangout at when it's raining out. read more

WiFi internet! Great coffee and friendly staff, cozy place to be, especially if you can't get cellular data service because of the cruise ship arrival. read more

Excellent chill cafe. Had great veggie burrito and cinnamon roll, would highly recommend this place to others

Yummy food, friendly staff, fast service, and a comfy atmosphere! I love their spiced chai ice cream shakes and the cran apple turkey sandwich! read more

Fabulous coffee, great breakfast sandwiches, wonderful atmosphere!! Highly recommend for a quick breakfast!!!

My partner, a coffee snob, said it was the best coffee she'd had "in a while". Ambience was also sweet.
