The service was fast and so friendly that I wish I was giving five stars for the overall experience. The Atomic breakfast burrito was really good, I was just put off by the sausage they used. It tasted like the type of sausage that goes on pizza, not in a burrito. Canned jalapeños are also not my thing. The vinegar flavor overpowers the rest of the food and the spice is diluted. Finally, having paid an extra $2 for avocado, I was disappointed to find very little inside. Their coffee was really good as well, so it wasn't a total loss, but could have been better. read more

Best breakfast / lunch spot. Everything about this place is excellent: from quality of coffee to friendly, attentive service. The food is exceptionally well made, fresh & wholesome. The menu is more than adequate for vegetarians and meat eaters. It has clean, simple yet artful atmosphere with touch of oceanic ease & color. Just lovely. read more

Very busy. Was very hungry. My wife's food arrived piping hot. My special was ice cold French toast, eggs and bacon. No one returned to ask any questions. I took it back, issued apologies and the owner brought me a hot berry tart... it was delicious a a generous offer that I didn't ask for, so major kiddos of gratitude for making the situation. Right. Cooks have off days too so apology accepted and great tart! read more

Quaint little spot. Interesting menu. LOUSY SERVICE!!!! It took 40 minutes for 2 omelettes. When they arrived the one that had been checked and double checked that it could be prepared without dairy and cheese was mounded with cheese. The waitress apologized and promptly took it back. When it arrived this time it was missing the avocado that I was paying extra for. As I am eating my very delayed meal, I discover that the hash browns had been 'brushed off' and there was cheese melted into the shredded potatoes making them uneatable for someone with dairy allergies. When I spoke to the management, I got a very blank faced, 'canned' "I'm sorry". A very unsatisfying $14 breakfast. read more

Dud. Blandest breakfast I've ever eaten. The butter packet for the toast was by far the tastiest item. Omelette? Like biting into foam. FLAVOR PLEASE read more

Super friendly staff, they were patient and kind. Food was great, was a bit bland so some seasoning and salt could improve it. The egg muffin breakfast sandwich with veg hit the spot. read more

This is one of my favorite places to get breakfast in Brookings. If you are okay with a little bit of wait for your food, I highly recommend Compass Rose. I have not had any food yet that I haven't enjoyed. read more

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

Excellent service , excellent food, great french toast & omelet, excellent coffee!!!!!!

Enjoyed breakfast here yesterday! I had a breakfast burrito in a bowl without a tortilla and it was great. I love the healthy options on the menu that include so many veggies. Although I didn't order it this time, I was thrilled to see a breakfast salad on the menu. I pretty much eat a breakfast salad every day at home and hope that it becomes a "thing" that exists regularly in the world someday! I look forward to going here again! read more

Formally know as Downtown Cafe, Compass Rose has pointed it self in a new direction. From an out of this world cafe It has now changed ownership. Usually with such a drastic change businesses wilt but this cafe didn't. It has bloomed into the Compass Rose. Now this place is just the cutest!! Everything is so green now and chic! Highly recommend eating here for a fun friendly atmosphere. read more

If I only used one word to describe this family owned Cafe, it would be FRESH. We stopped here for brunch on Memorial Day and were delightfully pleased at how deliciously fresh the food was. If you're lucky and they are serving their Jalapeno Popper Quiche, order it. It had just the right amount of pepper heat with an added twist on the crust: layered scalloped potatoes instead of a flour crust that quiche is known for. Fresh greens and fruit on the side add a tasty and healthy balance to the protein and carbs. The Chicken Jalapeno Wrap and Todd's Veggie sandwich are also very fresh and tasty. Friendly service and outdoor seating too. read more

We stopped by on vacation. The wait was long, but after talking to others waiting we decided to stay. Glad we did! Everything was excellent! We had the Country Fried Steak and it was some of the best we have ever had. Parking was a bit of an issue but with patience we found a spot. read more

Vegan friendly! This sweet little cafe was a wonderful escape from camping food while in Brookings OR. A healthy opinion amidst a town of old school diners. Great job ladies. read more

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

Our first clue should have been that we were the only ones in this place. The only thing that was remotely edible was the crispy microwaved bacon. The gravy was canned, the toast was dry and cold, overcooked eggs, and the sausage was thin and rubbery. Save your money and stay home and have your teenager make you breakfast. And to top it off, the guy waiting on us kept coughing! read more

Just stopped for breakfast here and we all loved our meals. The service was great - they know their menu well and were patient and kind. Food was delicious. Waffles and hash browns were extra crispy. Plain Jane sandwich was so yummy and easy to eat. So happy we came here read more

Meximocha got me thinking about the compass rose!!! The right atmosphere and pure love and kindness make everything enjoyable! But I can vouch for the delish meximocha and the spicy breakfast burrito!!! read more

I have been thinking long and hard about this review. My husband and I have been wanting to try it. We made plans with friends and got here around noon. The place had several tables taken and we were able to do "family" style and get 5 seats together. We waited about 10 minutes to get greeted. Another 10 to get menus. We picked out our meals and had to wait another 10 minutes to place our order. Two of us got water and 3 speciality coffees. Now, it gets interesting to say the least. The food took over 45 minutes to come out. Apparently there is only 1 cook so it's understandable that it would take longer to get food. What isn't is the attitude of all people who work there. The waitress decided to stand behind the counter and count her tips, didn't wash her hands after handling cash, gross. Hugs her friends and chats with people and completely ignores our group. We were never asked if we needed anything while waiting for our food. Water ran out. I got up to get a new napkin and was given one nasty look. Really? You are too "busy" and you are not helping. We got our food and it was good. Then a crash. Broken glass. Clean up and off she goes to continue. She was asked to refill our glasses, but she found it more important to clean up an empty table with no one waiting. When asked where our water was, we got the attitude. Arms crossed, glare and the words, "I guess you wanting water is more important than what I am doing." Waitress goes to the back, returns with water pitcher and blood on her hands. I refused the water and next thing we know, the cook comes out and makes all kinds of excuses for her behavior instead of saying she is sorry and they usually have 6 people but only 3 showed up. A common excuse noted from other reviews is that they are short staffed. I guess that is their fallback line. In summary, good food, lousy service and very loud. read more

I came here for a bottomless mimosa birthday weekend experience and it did not disappoint! Victoria and Alyssa were very knowledgeable of the menu and the suggested the special, which was a quiche (roasted jalapeño, Bacon, cream cheese) which was DELICIOUS. It came with a bottom salad and mixed berries. They were the kindest servers and made sure we weren't forgotten. I grade this a five star, but if I could, service and food combined would be ten stars! read more

Came here to get breakfast during our stay and it was sooo good! The monster burrito was delicious and so was my boyfriends hot ham and cheese sandwich. Definitely come here for some good tasting food! read more

Absolutely amazing service and food! The egg atop my avocado toast could not have been more perfect. The Compass Rose is a MUST when you are in Brookings! read more

Wonderful place for breakfast/brunch, do not pass it up! I loved the decor, cozy atmosphere, super friendly staff; and the food of course! We visited this place on a trip to Brookings, I ordered the biscuits and gravy and peach mimosa. Delicious to say the least! My cousins ordered the pecan pancakes, and the bite I had was dangerously tasty! I highly recommend this place to anyone! read more

A delightful cafe on the main street, a bit hidden so you have to really look for it. Very trendy, 10 steel brushed tables, sunny frontage windows, many designer coffees, and trivia pursuit cards to strain your brain while you sit and relax listening to 70's tunes. The menu is excellent, standard breakfasts, omelets, wraps, burritos, sandwiches, paninis, soups and salads. Even beers! I had the Smith River omelet, avocado, green pepper, green onion, jack and cheddar, David had the same with ham. The killer? The hash browns! They are made with a panini press but the flavor? And they aren't telling. Thank you, Victoria!! read more

Great location smack dab in the middle of town. Food is tasty, Chetco omelette is my favorite, prices are a little high but family owned and the owner is very friendly and accommodating. read more

Had a omelette today with hash browns. Omelette was good, fresh natural ingredients. The hash browns; not so good. Seems too greasy. The place has an intimate atmosphere; casual...the waiters were fine...pleasant but not checking on your drink levels much, etc. The dining room is fairly loud; can't have a conversation without talking very loud if more than a few people are there. read more

This cafe would get 10 stars for their breakfast menu. Had sausage gravy and biscuits and breakfast sandwich. Live it.

$12 and 40 minutes for eggs, bacon and hash browns... when we asked about the breads our waitress shrugged and said "bread is bread." I'm not sure anyone here cares a bit about making good food, just profits. read more

Goood breakfast there. Satisfying & delicious. I like their specials and fresh juice especially.

Recently visited Brookings and always love to support local, family businesses. This place served excellent Americano's and breakfast! Friendly owner and staff. Can't wait to visit again! read more

The food is good but you have to wait a VERY long time for it to be prepared, even when there are barely any customers. Also, not much common sense. I asked for my scrambled eggs to be cooked in olive oil. I was given scrambled eggs that were cooked in Pam, along with a small container of olive oil in the side. read more

Don't come here if you hungry, you will be HANGRY. Took them almost an hour to bring our orders to the table (ordered an omelet, breakfast bagel, Ruben sandwich and rose cafe sandwich) I mean what is the deal with the long wait!! No apologies , no acknowledgment, nothing. It seems like if you're local they will give you faster service. If that's not bad enough, there's no ventilation, the room is so smoky. My eyes are burning and our clothes smell after we got done. And what's with waitress/babysitters?? If the waitress didn't have to babysit and chase after the 2 kids that were playing outside then she would probably will do a better job tending to the customers. In fact, even the cook went running outside after the kids at some point! Quite a shit show. It was such an easy meal to make and yet it took an hour... the food was certainty not worth the wait and lame service. read more

Cozy place with great food and coffee. Not a lot of sitting room on the inside but there are picnic tables outside.

We came for a breakfast the place is clean and cute but the service was a bit lacking, longer wait to order than should have been and only got coffee refilled once because we asked. Then it took forever to get our food for just 2 people. The food was not good, I had French toast and it was awful I couldn't even choke it down looked like they literally toasted in the toaster. We will not return as this place disappointed on both food and service read more

Might have been bad timing, but the coffee was weak and the Gluten Free portions were significantly smaller. Burritos looked great, though.

Very disappointed with the service. Food was too hot. Got the wrong coffee sizes, twice! Plus chai was cold. Asked for water, never got any. Everyone was just kinda odd... London Fog was good though. read more

The service is VERY slow. We waited 45 min for our omelets. We weren't the only ones waiting. The couple sitting next to us ordered bacon and eggs. It took forever! The place wasn't very busy. I really can't figure out why the food took so long. read more

Service was extremely slow and other customers after us got served first. Had 2 eggs, hb, ham & toast. Hbrowns were over cooked and ham was one of the thinnest pieces I have ever had 4 breakfast. Server also messed up order and didnt check back after we finally got meal. Unfortunately in Brookings it appears at many restaurants the servers are out to lunch and have an extremely short attention span...might be the local recreational products. read more

VEGAN BREAKFAST BURRITO IS OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!!!!! I was skeptical bc it is not a fully vegan place and i think this might be their only option but it's freaking delicious and better than even some vegan places we visited. so so freaking good, my non-vegan boyfriend also loved it. Be mindful that you will have to wait maybe 30 minutes for take out... BUT IT'S WORTH IT read more

Came here on vacation this place was highly recommended and did not disappoint. The coffee was good, staff very friendly and when we told them it was our kids birthday the sweet owner brought us out these beautiful donuts . They have delicious birthday donuts!!!! I would recommend to anyone in the area!! read more

Delicious food, amazing service and great prices. The avocado toast was amazing and perfectly filling. Good coffee too.
