Absolutely one of my favorite coffee shops! The atmosphere is so calm and relaxing inside. The Staff are so friendly and sweet and welcoming. Bonus is that they have a small kids area for the kids to play while you enjoy a coffee! Iced Compassion mocha with sweet cold foam is my favorite!.

This coffee shop is a gem! The coffee is phenomenal—full of rich, bold flavor and perfectly brewed. Each sip was a treat for my taste buds. What made my visit even better were the pastries. They partner with the Swedish bakery next door, and you can taste the freshness and quality in every bite. The service here was top-notch. The staff were incredibly friendly, making me feel welcome from the moment I walked in, and the service was impressively fast. On top of all that, the prices are very reasonable, making it an excellent spot for a high-quality coffee and pastry experience without breaking the bank. Highly recommend!

I find myself stopping here very often now, it has quickly become my favorite spot to stop for a coffee. My favorite item is the Iced Bee Hive. Their coffee is consistently good, and I always leave happy. I really enjoy the quiet laid back atmosphere here.

Have stopped in a couple of times now and love this new coffee shop in town! The staff are friendly and quick to serve. It has a great atmosphere for work, a coffee date, or just getting out of the house as these colder days come around. They even have a play space for the kids to play so you can enjoy your food and drink! I got a coffee cake the first time and was pleasantly surprised at the price! Plus that crumble on top was SO good. Yesterday I got a banana chocolate chip muffin that might just be my new favorite. My favorite part is their mission to provide employment, skill training, and resources for people affected by homelessness! Why not use your coffee budget on a great local small business doing so much good in our community?! I know they have won over this new customer.

The baristas were so kind and walked my drink over to me when it was ready. The cold press was delicious. They have a kids area in the back - while my kids were not with me, this is something I appreciate to see anywhere. Overall, a wonderful coffee shoppe with a wonderful purpose to support.

This is an adorable coffee shop with friendly staff and delicious coffee! I ordered an iced latte and an everything bagel with honey walnut cream cheese, and I loved them both. The barista toasted my bagel and brought my order to my table. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable as well :).

Compassion Coffee is amazing! I've enjoyed time here with a girlfriend and later brought my own girls here a week or so ago. Rob and Lilly served us and made my girls feel so special with "fancy" drinks. I meet Rob and Lilly a year ago, through the school I worked at, when they served their coffee with their mobile coffee cart to our staff. I've followed their journey to open the coffeehouse and love their hearts to serve others. Keep shining your light! It's such an inviting place. The service is incredible. Their recommendations when I can't decide what to order is fun and helpful. They're patient while I score the menu for the most perfect drink. Live this place!

It wasn't too hard to talk my husband into trying this place since it's next to his beloved Crown Bakery. First, your taken in by the appeal of the place. Has the clean open kitchen look and good seating. The people working there were informative, helpful and very pleasant! My husband was very impressed by his latte and he can be a bit of a connoisseur. I ordered a signature drink - Nothing Fancy. I believe it was my best coffee place drink ever. And we're big coffee house people. Highly recommend!
