Our first stay in Brookings and we needed to stay in and enjoy our view of the beach. So we ordered from Compass Rose Cafe! The food was delicious and the servings are huge. My husband got the classic breakfast and I ordered the monster breakfast burrito. We shared the fruit bowl with Greek yogurt and ordered a mystery pastry box. All I can say is consider splitting the breakfast burrito! They're huge!! Their pities are chopped up so nice and little! Mine had red onions, eggs, green bell peppers and sausage crumbles. My hubby ordered the classic which had those potatoes, bacon, eggs and cheddar cheese. The fruit bowl was really fresh and love that they have really good granola and honey packets. The mystery pastry box didn't disappoint. We received coffee crumb cake, lemon berry bar, chocolate croissant and apple fritter. They all look amazing. I was able to taste the apple fritter and it was pretty good! Service wise- they packed everything well and even labeled everything for us. We will be coming back for more breakfast tomorrow!! read more

Compass Rose Cafe - French Toast Platter - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brookings, Oregon

My husband and I were relatively nearby camping at Jedidiah Redwoods State Park when we thought it'd be fun to drive into Oregon for a little bit. We didn't necessarily do much when we were in Brookings, Oregon, but we did stop by Compass Rose Cafe and it was one of the best steps yet. They are a smaller cafe so you can expect to wait for a table on the weekend. We originally opted for the food to go because we weren't sure if there would be a table available, but things worked out and we were able to eat here surrounded by all the whimsy knick knacks. I opted for the half size biscuits and gravy with an added patty on top and my husband opted for their monster burrito. Both entrees had great flavor and the staff was very hospitable and friendly. There is plenty of street parking and they also have a small parking lot available. Overall, Compass Rose Cafe is worth a stop if you're in the area and want to relax with some good food! read more

Great little place with a hip vibe. Food and latte were fantastic and the service was super fast and friendly Only cautionary tale. Probably not suitable for a large group or last minute meal. Especially during peak hours. It is cozy small. read more

Great little breakfast and coffee spot. We chose this spot because they allowed dogs in the patio. Our pup was provided with water and scrambled eggs. We got the classic (breakfast burrito) and the French toast platter. Everything was so good! We also got coffee to go. I got the honeybee and it was just what I needed. Service was amazing and quick. Servers were really nice and friendly. Definitely check this place out. read more

I am an over the top foody and I love the Compass Rose. They have excellent organic coffee and the artwork on their cappuccinos and lattes is beautiful. My favorite dish is the veggie burrito with no potatoes. I give them a five out of five except that recently they are serving sour cream and salsa from packets. Really? Even when busy, the staff are kind, pleasant and attentive. read more

Compass Rose Cafe - That's talent - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brookings, Oregon

Probably won't be going back. Tried again for the third time. Got the waffle, bacon, scrambled eggs. Waffle was warmer than previous visit. Bacon was still severely over cooked, almost as if it's pre-cooked in a mold and reheated. Also overheard one of the staff tell a customer that they ran out of waffles. Do you mean to tell me that they don't even make their own waffles? My guess is that because of the limited kitchen, a lot of food is prepared elsewhere. I really did give this place a chance after my first visit which was quite good. However, when I want a hearty homemade breakfast, this won't be the place to go. read more

The Plain Jane breakfast sandwich lists "scrambled eggs" as one of the components, but this egg was cooked in a mold most likely in the microwave, or maybe in an oven. A scrambled egg is a specific thing; it's prepared over low heat and pushed around resulting in fluffy curds. The egg in this sandwich was like an airy sponge and was very bland. I don't think there was any butter or salt or anything. It wasn't *bad* it was just not good. read more

Compass Rose was easy to find, and if there isn't street parking they do have a parking lot. I was impressed with the "we can make anything gluten-free" tag on their menu, as that hasn't been easy to find in Central OR, or the southern costal area...yet. I had a burrito bowl without the tortilla and I was impressed with the quantity of crispy bacon bits, cheese and flavor...I didn't even need salsa. Why a tortilla-less burrito bowl had never occurred to me as a possibility in a restaurant before, I dunno! There was seating indoors as well as outdoors (shaded in the late morning hours). Wonderful place! Thanks for the great food and great service! read more

The monster burrito is the only thing I get because it's so good, I think it's the best thing on the menu. My mom loves the French toast but I like variety. The service is amazing and they get every ring right like always. And the inside of the cafe is so cute and cozy and always smells like such good roasted coffee beans. read more

Exceptional Experience @ Compass Rose Cafe in Brookings, OR. !! First time patrons as a party of 4 on a Saturday morning in May. We were promptly greeted and instructed to order at the counter after we decided on our meals. The space itself is wonderfully decorated with unique and fun artwork. It definitely kept us busy with delight. I loved the scenic views playing on their tv as well. Our order was served pretty quickly. Specialty drinks were delicious. Each of us thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast meals. Very clean restaurant throughout. Great use of space, including single person bathroom. We look forward to returning the next time we're in town! Thank you!! read more

staff was delightful but seating is very limited... the food was very bland to be honest and the coffee was extremely strong. For reference I ordered a breakfast burrito and it was so bland.. I also got the carmel macchiato extra sweet and it was so strong that my let hairs were growing every time I took a sip read more

I will preface this with I am picky. Might be a great spot lots of locals just do not go on Monday. It's their Friday and they didn't have anything I wanted to try off their website, OJ or hemp milk for a latte. As I said I am Particular. The few pastries that were there were the usual sweet things. Boyfriend did get a pastry said it was ok. Ladies were very nice I am glad they had a great weekend. Just don't work for me. read more

i cannot believe that i have lived in Brookings for almost 9 years and yesterday was my 1st time in this cafe, but not my last.. I had the biscuits and sausage gravy and it is to die for...I thought my late wife made the best sausage gravy i ever tasted, but this cafe makes it just the way i like it. I have to warn you, it is peppery, but that's what sets it off. 2 open faced biscuits loaded with gravy and sausage bits you can actually see and taste. Service was excellent, coffee fresh and hot... what more could you ask for to start the day... read more

Such a cute cafe. The lavender latte was delicious. The biscuits and gravy burrito is huge! It's also delicious. Everyone was friendly.

Great place for breakfast or brunch. I had the ham and Swiss breakfast sandwich. My wife had the avocado toast both were fantastic. Great service. You walk up to the counter to order and they bring your food out. Limited seating inside. Some outside seating but traffic noise. read more

We got there and ordered our food at about 12:05 pm and did not get our food until about 1:10 pm. We actually had to go up and ask about our food because people who had gotten there after us were getting and even finishing their food. When our sandwiches and fruit bowl arrived they looked rushed and neither had any condiments. For reference I got the plain Jane, and my mom got a blt. My mom asked for mayo on hers because it didn't have any as previously mentioned, and the waitress walked briefly to the back and said it's on it already. My mom isn't one to argue so she took it home to get mayo. Felt a bit claustrophobic in there, only a few little tables. An extra star because the fruit bowl was good and so was the gluten free bread. read more

Wow this place has the best food and the atmosphere is warm and comfortable. You really can't beat the excellent service either!

What a quaint little place. The atmosphere was so calming and pleasant. We had breakfast on a Sunday morning with a great cup of coffee. The staff seemed to work so well together and friendly. Absolutely feel like we found a little gem of a cafe. read more

My family and I visited Brookings today and happened to be walking by this little shop when we saw the sign Metolious Chai outside, we are big fans of Metolius so we stopped in and my wife got a chai and I asked for the spiciest Mexican mocha they've ever made. Spicier than the core of Mount Vesuvius, spicier than the eye of a Cayenne tornado... and they delivered! As the barista handed me the coffee she said "it's very spicy" and after I took the first sip I ensure them that it was perfect. Also the ambience of the place was just wonderful! It was a cross between a relaxing spa and a small town mom and Pops breakfast joint. Just perfect. read more

This is my first time eating at compass rose cafe, I ordered through DoorDash and the food arrived piping hot. I got the biscuits and gravy with two over easy eggs and a sausage patty, with a hot chocolate, the gravy has a very healthy amount of pepper in it so there's no need to add pepper to it. My eggs were cooked perfectly, not over done and not still too raw. The food was really enjoyable, I would eat here again. read more

Very tasty drinks and food. Service was excellent. Small place so get there when they open to find a place to sit.

What a sweet spot. We came for coffee and looked at the menu and ordered a breakfast burrito as well. The steady stream of customers were well taken care of by the happy staff. It's so refreshing to have happy kind helpful service when ordering at a new place. The ambiance was very clean and tended to. Our order was a to-go order so as we sat a waited we met the owner Natalie. She explained we have a large order in front of you and that our order will be out soon. Taking that time to make a connection with your customers goes a long way. We continued our chat and she shared this is a family run business and that they LOVE what they do and where they chose to lay down roots for the last several years. What is remarkable and refreshing is this wonderful restaurant had it all, great food, great service and attention to details with customers. Did I say GREAT FOOD! Our breakfast burrito we shared was delicious! Many amazing Coffee options as well! 10/10 enjoy this sweet spot read more

Yummy breakfast offerings and very dog friendly! we were visiting Brookings and decided to go here for breakfast because it had good reviews, gluten free options and an outdoor patio which meant our dogs could come with us!

This was a very cute spot we stumbled upon in our short time in Brookings. The service was extremely friendly and fast with a variety of options. My friend got a breakfast burrito 3x the size of her head which she really recommended. I stayed simple with the granola yogurt Bowl and it was massive. It was quite honestly some of the best yogurt I've ever had??? Not sure how or why. The london fog I got was also lovely and all the drinks are customizable. It's hard to find something wrong with this place. Very good option for breakfast and really would come again in a heartbeat. I think they are relocating unexpectedly so please go show them some love when you can! read more

Very tasty food that is pushing the upper limits of cost. When you're the best food in town though, you can. Service was friendly. Inside was comfortable but small. Avocado toast, as all the reviews say, is delicious. A slice of sourdough, generous avocado, an egg, and flaxseed. Stuffed French toast - well, anything with Nutella can't be bad! read more
