Notes
Original Shaw neighborhood Compass. Local house roast, sandwiches/pastries, historically work-friendly. Compass filed Chapter 11 in Jan 2026; Caffè Nero bought most remaining assets (court-approved Feb 2026) and continues to operate cafes under the Compass name during transition. Hours and branding may shift. Rejected-lease sites from the filing are omitted.
