What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"The entire team at Clarendon Compass make our morning walks something to look forward to. Having this spot as a go-to coffee destination on this side of Arlington is incredibly convenient. On days we can't swing by, we make sure to fill our growlers with some nitro cold brew—but whenever we can, it's a no-brainer to just stop in."
"super cute cafe and friendly staff!"
"I went to grab a cup of coffee around 10 am and saw a huge line with only one female employee. Waited an hour for a coffee, not worth the wait. Didn't see any people helping her, compass put more employees!!!"
