I had heard about Compassionate Beans from a coworker but had never made it over until recently. What a great decision! For all you hippies out there (I kid) , The owner, Bau, only sells Fair Trade Coffee, hence the name. However, this does not translate to higher prices. You can get a 16 oz of pretty much anything for under $3 and it is thoughtfully and expertly made. They are only staffed by Bau himself, so he puts the extra effort into each cup and it shows.
They also sell the normal assortment of morning pastries, muffins, and snacks and some other stuff including yerba mate.
The location is small and in the corner of the building, but the seating is comfortable and there are several nice tables and chairs outside to sit and enjoy the day. He offers WiFi for free and even has a computer set up for guests to use. Please stop by and give Compassionate Beans and Bau Pham a warm hello and a shot at your coffee and tea business!
