I’m more disappointed in their food than their computer policy. Their croissants are garbage and espresso drinks were unremarkable. The cookies look good, but I haven’t tried them yet.

I fully bought the hype and was excited for them to open. At least we still have Christophe for pastries and Compass for coffee.

I had a sandwich and coffee and it was pretty good. But I’m basic so I trust your review better than my own. Christophe is amazing.

I really can’t get behind Compass. Every time I order a basic milk based espresso drink it’s pretty tasteless.

If you have free time during the week, hit up Yellow. Their Georgetown location is fab and the drinks are alright. Avoid on the weekend, as it is a monstrosity of overcrowding.

Agreed. Can’t trust any of these guy’s food opinions if he’s out there repping Compass.

Tbf, I’m only repping Compass over Maman, specifically for coffee in that two-three block radius on Wisconsin Ave.

Beyond that, trust me on chocolate and pastries. My opinions on Coffee are far from reliable.

Definitely agree that Christophe is the best for pastries/desserts in that area.

That’s fair. I prefer Blue Bottle, but sometimes don’t have time to walk the extra bit.

I love Yellow. I don’t think I’ve had something from there that didn’t absolutely slap. Baklava croissant? C’mon! My bill always seems to be $2 or $3 dollars more than elsewhere, but it is def fantastic.
