UMD’s new go-to for great coffee, good vibes, and showing your Terrapin pride.

College Park, we’re officially here! We’re excited to bring Compass Coffee to the University of Maryland community with our newest cafe at 4210 Knox Rd—right in the heart of South Campus under The Hub. With classrooms, dorms, and study spaces just steps away, our goal is to create a welcoming space where students, faculty, and neighbors can gather, connect, and enjoy great coffee.

"We’re thrilled to bring Compass Coffee to UMD and create a space where students can come together, recharge, and make the most of their time on campus," said Sydney Dawson, Marketing Director at Compass Coffee. "Whether it’s a morning pick-me-up before class or a late-night study session, we want to be the go-to spot for the UMD community."

This isn’t just any cafe opening—it’s a milestone for us. Not only is this our first Maryland location, but it’s also the first Compass cafe to feature a latte art print machine! If you want to see your selfie on a latte or show off your Terrapin pride with a UMD logo in your foam, we’re bringing something new and fun to the coffee experience.

Our doors open on Saturday, January 25, just in time for move-in day. Whether you're gearing up for exams, meeting with your student org, or just grabbing a cup between classes, we’ll be here to fuel your day with coffee that’s always smooth and roasted to perfection.

"At Compass, we’re all about building community—not just through coffee, but by creating opportunities for students and locals to be part of something bigger," said Jessica Hubbard, District Manager at Compass Coffee. "We’re proud to bring new career opportunities to College Park and offer a space where everyone feels welcome."

We’re open 6 AM - 7 PM on weekdays and 7 AM - 7 PM on weekends—perfect for early risers, study groups, and anyone who needs a midday caffeine boost.

We can’t wait to be part of the College Park community. Come by, grab a cup, and make Compass your new favorite cafe on campus!
