"Cute little coffeeshop next to Albert Park, with both great tasting and looking coffee! Staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is pretty relaxed. Sandwiches and pastries are equally great and made from scratch. We ordered 2 medium cappuccinos and 2 sandwinches for 39 NZD. A fair price for the quality and service :) Definitely recommend this place!"

"Best matcha in the CBD! So so super friendly staff, always feels welcoming and like a second home. The strawberry einspanner is my recommendation for a little pick me up. Definitely a must visit if you are ever in town :)"

"A very cute and cozy cafe with excellent drinks and pastries! The hojicha einspanner was delicious as well as the blueberry pastry. If you plan to work here, be warned there is limited seating and no wifi--but it’s so nice here that you should come regardless!"

"Finally I have chance to visit Kompass Coffee after hearing many positive review. Coffee is strong and bold while matcha drink is very authentic. We also had Matcha Almond Croissant and it is really Wow! Less sweet and filling in the right portion. We bought them back as takeaways as well"

"This café is run by a lovely Korean owner who was very kind, and they had a great variety of unique coffee options that you don’t often see elsewhere. It was a busy morning with lots of customers, so I ended up playing it safe and ordered a long black like a fool — but my brave friend ordered the hojicha and absolutely loved it! The indoor space was small, so we sat outside. There was a super cute table set up on what looked like a traditional Korean-style platform, which gave off such a cozy, nostalgic vibe. With the fresh morning air after the rain, a peaceful view of the park right next to us, a beautiful cup of coffee, and a croissant — everything felt just perfect. Next time, I’m definitely going to try the black sesame coffee and the canelé. :) Thank you!"

"We stopped by while walking past and ordered the Earl Grey Matcha drink. The matcha was the highlight — it had a deep, rich flavor that tasted high quality and well prepared. For my personal taste, it was slightly too sweet, but that was my own fault as I didn’t check the sweetness level beforehand. Aside from that, the drink was very enjoyable and nicely balanced. Overall, a great grab-and-go spot with excellent matcha. I’d happily stop by again, just with less sweetness next time."

"Nice chill atmosphere. Quick service despite many people queuing up before us. Attentive staff. Got iced earl grey matcha with the cream on top and iced latte. If you like sweet matcha , this is definitely up your alley. Coffee is slightly acidic to my liking but my sister likes it."
