About the Company

Compass Coffee was founded in 2014 by two Marines who became obsessed with the quest for the perfect cup. What began as a desire to unlock the secret to perfect coffee grew into something much more significant: the realization that coffee is a ritual that brings people together. Compass Coffee has since expanded to 16 cafes in and around DC, maintaining a relentless commitment to ethical sourcing, masterful blending, and peak roasting.
