Been here multiple times and loved it every time. I enjoy the seasonal drinks. The food is also pretty tasty. This place is a bit out of the way so I don't stop in often but when I do, I enjoy it. read more

I don't drink coffee often, but when I do, I drink Compa's! Best coffee in SD! If I can't drink Compa's, I drink nothing at all! read more

I ordered online and the site was easy to use. I got an unsweetened matcha with almond milk. For my daughter I got a vanilla steamer. When I arrived there is a sign that says to provide them with your order number for mobile orders. I let them know my order and it seemed to be in process. For the matcha, I think the milk may have been a barista blend, it tasted slightly sweet. But it was still good. I asked them to add whipped cream on my daughters and they didn't have any. It would have been a nice touch for a kids drink. read more

Tried out **Compa Coffee Roasters** recently, and while there were some definite highlights, it was kind of a mixed bag overall. Let's start with the **good**: The **coffee** here is solid -- smooth, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care. I'd especially recommend trying one of the **B-Sides** options if you're into something a little different. They've got some creative drinks that stand out from the usual café fare. Also, **tons of parking** (a rare win!), and the **service was fast** and friendly. It's a **small café**, but they've managed to make good use of the space. There was enough seating even during the morning rush, which I appreciated. Now for the not-so-great... I ordered a **bagel sandwich**, and... they didn't actually make it. They just handed me a bagel with all the ingredients *separately*. Not toasted, not assembled -- just a pile of stuff and a bagel. I genuinely thought it was a mistake, but nope, that was it. And to be honest, the **bagel itself wasn't good** -- bland and kind of dry. read more

Parking - lots of parking shared with other businesses. When you come off the freeway you have to make a left at the light and then a left into the center. Drive to the far corner near the Pizza Hut/pho shop. You can order ahead on their website. Check their instagram for monthly specialty drinks. Order at the register and take a number if eating in. They have inside and outside seating. Tried: 9-5 breakfast biscuit - the prosciutto was beyond crispy and into burnt level. It was really hard and chewy. Biscuit itself was good, although the bottom fell apart as it wasn't cut quite evenly in the middle leaving more bread on top than the bottom. Glen coco - the cold brew had a bad after taste that couldn't be saved by the coconut. Love potion - pretty sure this was supposed to have a whipped topping based on the description but it didn't. Taste was okay. read more

Right when I walked in, I was greeted with friendly smiles! I ordered the PSL and it was delicious. Not too sweet. The espresso flavor still shines through. Latte art was beautiful. I also got the 9-5 breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel, which I don't recommend swapping out. It was better on the biscuit it comes with. Absolutely enjoyed my experience here and can't wait to come back and try more! Coffe snobs, you'll love this place read more

This place is one of my staple coffee shops nearby! They have solid unique lattes but the simple brews are also amazing. The food is also great, the yogurt parfait is top tier. To top it off the staff and vibes are just great. Coffee beans are good for home brews too! read more

We were in the area and wanted to stop by a cafe for some coffee. We ended up at Compa Coffee and they DID NOT disappointment. I'm not the biggest fan of sweet coffee, so their coffee definitely hit the spot for me. You are able to customize the sweetness, which was awesome. We ordered the P.A.A.T Sandwich and Ham & Cheese Croissant w/ avocado and they were to die for. Super simple but still flavorful. They play chill music which would be great for a coffee date or even to study/get work done. The service was also great! They were very attentive and friendly. We live very far, so I wish we could go often. But if we are ever in the area, we will definitely go back! read more

We stopped in Compa on our drive up north and it was conveniently not too far off the freeway. I tried the Grinch, which is one of their seasonal drinks combining peppermint and matcha. IT WAS DELICIOUS. This was such a unique combo and it pairs so nicely! My partner got a Salted Maple latte quad shot and it was really good. Not overly sweet at all and good quality coffee. Service was quick and we were able to get back to our drive! We'll definitely pop back another time to try their food and check out the sunny patio. read more

I go to Compa coffee almost every day before I go to work nearby. They offer much better coffee than the national chains and their delicious savory breakfast items always hitting the spot. They are usually busy between 7-9 but their staff work quickly so I never had to wait. good place to recommend people who are in the Rancho Bernardo area. read more

Compa is conveniently located in RB off the 15 so you don't have to drive too far off the beaten path to grab a cup of coffee. We went on a Saturday morning and it was slammed. The two entrances led to confusion by many who entered the building, not knowing where the line ended or began. I ordered an iced dirty chai with almond while the hubby ordered an iced vanilla latte with almond milk. I didn't love or hate my drink but wish the chai were stronger and they wouldn't put cinnamon on top as a garnish of an iced drink, which made the taste off putting and bitter. My husband's latte was fine, though not very strong or coffee forward. The space is big, every table inside and out on the patio was filled which is always good to see that a business is thriving. read more

My favorite breakfast spot in rancho bernardo and one of my too choices in north county. Their flavors and choices are very clean and easy to eat. They have a great selection of toasts and bagels. The salmon lox, the pesto turkey, etc. the service is very welcoming and comfortable. The place is a bit small though so seating is limited. read more

I stopped by for breakfast with a friend and ordered a mocha and avocado toast. I enjoyed both. The avocado toast has dijon mustard which was a first for me. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. I tried my friend's vegan sandwich (Jimmy Pesto Toast) and that was even better than the avocado toast. I loved the flavor combination of the sandwich. We received really good service. Everyone was really friendly. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. It was a perfect spot to grab breakfast with a friend. I'll definitely be coming back for the sandwich and to try some more options on their menu. read more

Came here on a quick lunch break and was glad to have found this gem. There was plenty of seating indoors and we were immediately greeted by friendly staff. They have a lot of options for coffee and food on the menu and they were super kind in not making us feel rushed in deciding what to order and even provided some recommendations. I went with the iced dark mocha which was delicious and very well balanced. I also got the brie jam toast and it was super delicious!! It wasn't too sweet and it was a perfect combination. Service was fast and I like that there is a water station. read more

Just moved back to San Diego and this is the first coffee shop we hit. 10/10. Great coffee, the employees were vibin, and the food was incredible. We got the hot honey biscuit, a concha, and salted maple lattes. Anytime we are in the neighborhood, guaranteed we're stopping by. read more

I consider myself a coffee connoisseur... especially espresso. I hail from Seattle where I've had a large share of stellar micro roast coffee, and there are many great roasters down here in San Diego as well. Barefoot Coffee Roasters and Zumbar are two great examples of stellar roasts. When the weather permits working outdoors (most of the time) I also roast at home. I've had some stellar hits as well as disappointing misses in that process, but that's to be expected by a novice like myself. However, when you go to a full established Coffee Roastery where you pay a premium for drinks and the beans, you expect near perfection on a fairly consistent basis. They should be experts at their craft. That being said, I would not consider this place a great nor expert roaster. Their coffee tastes like either they don't know how to roast, or they're still learning how to roast, and/or they are not selecting their coffee beans well... perhaps choosing cheaper beans to maximize profits. Hard to say. I just always come from here disappointed by both the drinks and the beans. The poster below me described it as "sour" which is a perfect description and it's been the same every time I come here. read more

Stopped in for my morning brew while waiting for the bank to open nearby. I really loved how spacious it was from the door to the counter to order. It didn't leave you feeling crammed while waiting in line to order. There's a fresh ambiance with a blend of merch, indoor plants, and seating that makes it welcoming for anyone looking to spend more time than just a quick coffee run. I had tried the ice honey cinnamon latte with oat milk and their P.A.A.T Sandwich on sourdough. (IT WAS AMAZING!) I'm usually not a sandwich for breakfast kinda gal, but their twist on the BLT on sourdough definitely brightened my morning. It paired well with my drink and I was quite surprised by the nice flavor that the Dijon mustard gave. Also not a big fan of mustard but it wasn't overpowering. The seating was comfortable and I was able to get many emails answered when I was there. It's a nice place to try if you're in the area. read more

Was looking for a quick coffee after getting some bagels. I was greeted at the front after a compliment of my spam shirt I had on. Menu had a lot of options and the was my first time here. So I tried the San Diego 1&1 which has two different espressos one hot and one iced. I sat down and my order was brought to home fairly quickly. I first took a sip of the hot one, typical tasting espressso shot, I sipped some water to cleanse the palate, then took a sip of the iced one, and oh my this tasted so great. Checked the menu it was an iced cubano and tasted fantastic. After the two great tasting espressos I didn't need anything to get my day going. Glad I found this little spot, and I'll be back for more. Also tables and seating inside are available and the overall feel, it gives comfy cafe vibes. I'll be back ! read more

This place is incredible. My wife and I moved to the neighborhood a couple of months back and we are so grateful to have a specialty coffee shop right around the corner. All of the baristas are so sweet, every time I walk in here I feel at home. Massive shoutout to Jay, Hayden, Dylan, Taylor, Sophie, Sarah, Kevin, and anybody who else that I have missed. You all are appreciated. Thank you for making me feel like a valued and appreciated customer! The coffee is also great, the supertonic is great as is a simple drip. :) read more

I've been here a couple times or just drinks but this time I decided to get some lunch as well because when I walked in the first thing I noticed was the aroma of good food cooking in the back. The girl on the counter was friendly and attentive, and my food was brought to my table by one of the cooks. The paat sandwich is a generous portion and so bomb. The crispy, prosciutto and tangy mustard hit the spot and they even add a little drizzle of olive oil on the sourdough. It's essentially a fancy BLT and I highly recommend. And of course, my drink was great. Not too sweet like I like it. read more

Good local coffee place. Coffee was good. Owner is a nice guy. Will check it out again.

Such a cute aesthetic! Had a Valentines themed latte and was very content with the quality/flavor. Sometimes those specialty lattes can really suck and then leave you disappointed... not this one! The toasts were to die for! Also, everyone else's food looked so good I'm excited to come back and try more food options! Cute outdoor seating and free wifi so you can hang out and do some work. Staff was super friendly and I will definitely be coming back for more. read more

What a lovely gem in Rancho Bernardo!! RB is so overdue for a nice local coffee shop. The turkey melt bagel was sooo good, I absolutely loved that the pesto was spicy. The pumpkin loaf wasn't my favorite but I think it may have been gluten free. We ordered a coffee, chai latte, matcha latte, and peppermint hot chocolate. All the drinks were really good; no complaints! Staff were great and kind. Such a cute space. I had no idea it existed and they opened 1.5 years ago! read more

I'd come back and recommend! read more

Second time visiting. The first time they had just opened and the menu for food was limited. Today they had so many options I was interested in that it was hard to choose! Ultimately I settled on the fireside coffee which was an oat milk latte with hints of rosemary and brown sugar. Refreshing and interesting. I also chose the Brie toast. That was a huge piece of thick crusty bread with Brie melted on top and mango habanero jam. The heat from the jam was intense but the Brie played well with it. The ambience is fun, bright, cheerful. Everyone working seemed to enjoy going there and the place was full of patrons. This is in a busy location and parking might be an issue but you should check it out! read more

MORNING STOP (4.25 stars) - FOOD/DRINK: yum - PRICE: fair - SERVICE: good - AMBIANCE: bright and open but limited seating Trying something new every time in North County. Perfect place for a quick breakfast stop. If I had to come to the office this would be my morning stop. Small 4 people line max, service is fairly quick, but seating is limited even though they have indoor/outdoor. I lingered and hovered near a table to make it awkward to let them know "when your table is stacked with empty dishes for some time, it's time to get up and let someone else have the seat". Starring at them helps too! LOL. :: ORDER :: HONEY CINNAMON LATTE ($5.75) - I am team decaf! Their decaf beans ARE Swiss Water Processed. Bean profile: dark chocolate, cherry jam, almonds. The taste was smooth yet did have a little faint tartness at the end. Still a very good bean. It was nice to sip on a latte out of a ceramic cup and enjoy cafe dwelling. HIGHLY RECOMMEND BISCUIT WITH MINT BERRY JAM ($5) - they had selections of some breakfast items I didn't know they had. And a selection of jams to choose. Went for a simple biscuit because I was hoping to save room for lunch. The size of the biscuit was huge! They were fluffy and warm and it paired well with the mint berry jam (mint was barely noticeable). I noticed that it's the same biscuits they use for their breakfast sandwiches. While most appreciate size, I would have preferred a couple mini biscuits over one huge biscuit. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Overall, great coffee beans and food and atmosphere. Blah to limited seating but that's a good issue to have knowing it's a place of gather. JABA APPROVED. Until the next review... read more
