    The service was good. I ordered ahead on the app a pumpkin bread with icing to go. This location is huge and busy! Best to order in advance and pick up. It took 15 minutes from order placed to order completion. The staff were friendly. I'd come back, especially with all the ample seating and free Wifi. There is a nearby lot you could park at or opt for street parking.

    Always great to come here! I'm such a fan of this place. So comfy and a place to gather and shoot the breeze or do your homework! Get the Cherry blossom cold brew in season! It tastes like strawberry new quick milk!

    This cafe is the best hangout place on this side of town. It's even better when you can find a table and chair! I got here right at 10am for my daily cappuccino and the service was awesome as usual, but finding a place to sit and chill wasn't so easy. This place is huge compared to some of their other places in the city, but still its usually jam packed led in the mornings. Soon enough though I found a spot at the cafe bar and proceeded to open my laptop and check emails. It's really chill here, and everyone here is super nice. On days when it's not so hot and humid, it's also fun to take a seat outside. They also make a kicking expresso, and their regular coffee is also good.

    My order. It's seriously perfect.

    This is my second visit to this Compass Coffee. Honestly I was already very much looking forward to make this stop. It is very convenient for me that they stay open until 6 pm as I have much writing to do after work. The open area inside is very spacious for a coffee shop and there is plenty of seating. Other patrons seem to be taking advantage of the ambience and thus they are taking time reading or using their laptops while delicious coffee is enjoyed. I did not have to wait long in line after stepping in. The young woman who took my order for an iced quad breve mocha was very kind and polite and professional. The coffee is very good here and I also see that they offer a nice selection of pastries. The restrooms are clean as well! I'll be coming back for certain.

    Almond butter latte - delicious!!

    The Almond Butter Latte is a must have! I have never been able to drink any coffee without any sweetener - until I met the Almond Butter Latte at Compass. So. Good!! I also enjoy the cold brews and matcha latte but the almond butter latte is in a class of its own. The baristas and staff are so friendly, so warm and always entertain my requests for drink referrals. The shop itself is large with plenty of seating, clean bathrooms and plenty of parking out front. Best coffee in the city, hands down.

    Great coffee, nice ample sitting inside, and reasonable outside. Very friendly employees. It's a good experience, we come back almost daily.

    Comfy spot in back

    I caught up with a friend for two hours one Friday morning, and this hip, bright, tasty coffee shop was buzzing the whole time. We could barely find a seat around 10:15am. (The spot was less than half full by about 11:30/noon.) A lot of thought has gone into the space. I always appreciate a spot that has many different seating options, like very comfy seating in the back, a kids area, a few tables, high top chairs at a bar, and lower tables toward the front. (I wish the stools in the front were a little more comfy, though.) The people working here all seemed very cool, chill. They chatted but maintained efficiency in handling the bursts of customers. The coffee was good! I got a smooth latte with skim milk, and it was on point and made quickly. I look forward to my next opportunity to come by.

    Cool vibes and amazing coffee- a little expensive. Wonderful selection of non-dairy milks. No food, just pastries. 10/10 recommend!

    One of my all time favorite coffee shops. The gingerbread latte during the holiday season is amazing.

    I stopped here after an appointment to grab a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised. To start,…read morethe employee working on that day was so incredibly helpful. It was Friday early afternoon. She immediately greeted me as soon as I walked in and then went over all their options with me. They do open face sandwiches but she said any can be made into a regular sandwich. She gave me recommendations as well. I decided to go with the chicken open face sandwich but as a regular sandwich and the sea salt caramel latte to go. The latte was really good and was not weak. I ate the sandwich when I got home and it was also very good. The chicken and sumac onions were delicious! The place has plenty seating if you want to just work and drink coffee or order full meals with friends. There is also a good size patio in the front. It's definitely a nice addition to the area.

    We enjoyed our morning at Yours Cafe, right before we walked up the street to the zoo. We love that…read morethey had their own coffee bean grinder in the back! The coffee was for sure a stand out. We each got the espresso with whipped cream. Heads up, for a coffee focused place the cream was definitely out of a can. But the coffee itself was amazing. For food we got a pistachio beignet, and a chocolate and pistachio croissant. The beignet is definitely not a beignet- it was a bit more bread like, though it still tasted good. And the pistachio cream, though delicious, was so runny. The croissant was good but also had the same pistachio cream issue. It dripped out. For food I had the bacon flaming tart, which tasted amazing! One thing to note- the menu says capers, but it's scallions. That was a welcomed error, since I love scallions! We also got drinks, and I enjoyed my pistachio beverage. Overall, I'd say out of the options nearest the zoo, this is one of the best.
