Update from Compass Coffee:

“We are excited to announce that we will be opening a new cafe this Saturday, June 8th at 1924 14th St NW! For 10 years, we’ve eagerly awaited the opportunity to serve the historic 14th St / U St corridor, and we are thrilled that the moment has finally arrived. Our new location is a quaint cafe inspired by the vibrant style of the area – featuring a curved espresso bar with marble and tile detail, floor to ceiling garage door windows, local DC photography, and a light and airy atmosphere.

Compass Coffee Donates Opening Day Proceeds to Capital Pride

Not only are we celebrating the opening of our new cafe, we’re excited to be opening on the same day as the DC Capital Pride Parade! Even better – our location stands at the starting point of the parade route!

At Compass, we’ve been proud to partner with Capital Pride Alliance on several occasions – we’ve hosted Capital Pride galas, Capital Pride award receptions, opening celebrations, and every year we donate all proceeds from our specialty Pride Tins to Capital Pride Alliance as well.

As we gear up for this Saturday’s festivities, we’re proud to announce another year of partnership by donating 100% of the proceeds from our grand opening to the Capital Pride Alliance. Furthermore, our exclusive Pride Tins will be back in stock and available for purchase at our cafe. Our opening day event is an opportunity for everyone to come together, celebrate pride, and share in the excitement of our new location. We are grateful to be able to participate in this special day and recognize those being celebrated.

Embracing Community

One of our core values at Compass Coffee is building community, and that is exactly what we plan to do at our new cafe. Our 14th street cafe is set to become a gathering place for coffee lovers and proud community members alike.

Our team looks forward to welcoming friends, neighbors, and members of the community to our new location. Come and experience firsthand why Compass Coffee has quickly become the go-to destination for quality coffee that’s inclusive and accessible to everyone.

We can’t wait to see you there!

Opening Day: Saturday, June 8 2024; 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM

Thanks to Katie and Kim for sending on the Wydown space:

“Compass!!! Feel like a jerk but I am thrilled bc I love compass so so much”

“Wydown on 14th is papered over and now a to be a Compass? Odd because I thought Compass was also facing issues with workers wanting to unionize? (I guess/hope they’re handling it better than Wydown closing and letting all its employees go)”
