Compass Coffee Celebrates 16th D.C. Location with New Spring Offerings

Calling all D.C. coffee enthusiasts! Compass Coffee has officially opened its 16th location at 435 11th St NW, right in the heart of Washington, D.C. This new addition is more than just a coffee shop—it’s a celebration of all things delicious, with a fresh spring menu and a few exciting surprises for both regulars and first-time visitors. Whether you're looking for your usual coffee fix or eager to try something new, Compass Coffee has you covered.

To mark this milestone, Compass is introducing a seasonal favorite—the Cherry Blossom Blend. Inspired by the iconic cherry blossoms that bloom throughout D.C. each spring, this limited-edition coffee is a nod to the city's vibrant beauty and its deep connection to nature. Alongside this, Compass is debuting a range of mouth-watering breakfast sandwiches, perfect for pairing with a steaming cup of their signature coffee. These sandwiches bring a delicious twist to your morning routine, offering both convenience and flavor, whether you're in a rush or taking a moment to savor the day.

The new Compass Coffee location sits in the bustling downtown area, offering a cozy retreat where locals and visitors alike can enjoy their coffee before heading to work or exploring D.C. With its prime location, this café is designed to cater to the on-the-go crowd, but also provides a comfortable space for anyone looking to unwind with a freshly brewed cup of coffee.

Compass Coffee, which prides itself on offering "Real Good Coffee," continues to grow and expand its reach across D.C., thanks in part to its commitment to quality, community, and the local food ecosystem. The company's impressive journey began in 2014, when co-founder Michael Haft, a former U.S. Marine, opened the first Compass Coffee shop in Shaw after discovering his newfound love for coffee while stationed in Afghanistan. What started as a means to stay awake soon grew into a passion for crafting high-quality, ethically sourced coffee, and Haft knew he wanted to turn that passion into a business.

Today, Compass Coffee has become a D.C. staple, and its newest location is part of a larger strategy to serve the city with the freshest, most flavorful coffee available. Behind the scenes, Compass roasts its own beans in-house at their 40,000-square-foot roastery in Ivy City, a state-of-the-art facility that allows them to control every aspect of their production. The roastery enables Compass to roast beans at their peak potential, ensuring that each cup of coffee served in their cafes is as fresh and flavorful as possible.

Compass Coffee’s expansion is also a testament to its ongoing collaboration with local businesses. As a proud Union Kitchen Accelerator Member, the company has always been committed to supporting the D.C. community, both through its product and its partnerships. Whether sourcing beans from ethical suppliers or working with other local producers, Compass strives to bring the best of D.C. to its customers. The new breakfast sandwiches, for example, are crafted with the finest ingredients, showcasing the city’s rich culinary scene.

At Compass, it's not just about the coffee—it’s about creating an experience that brings people together. The team’s dedication to the craft of coffee, their deep connection to the D.C. community, and their constant push for innovation make Compass Coffee a brand that’s built to last.

If you’re looking for an exceptional cup of coffee, a delightful breakfast sandwich, or simply a place to relax and take in the local culture, Compass Coffee’s new downtown D.C. location is the perfect destination. Stop by today, celebrate the arrival of spring, and enjoy a sip of "Real Good Coffee."
