Reviews

Our favourite little place in Haines. They do great coffee and the people working there are absolutely lovely! I had the Cuban and it was delicious, and the best part was they had really good gluten free bread for my partner! She had the turkey bacon Swiss and it was awesome!

We stayed in Haines for almost a week and visited here for lunch and a coffee most mornings. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere and both food and coffee was fantastic. Added bonus for me is that they had gluten free bread so I had a choice of sandwiches and a couple of sweet treat choices.

Rusty Compass Coffeehouse is absolutely adorable - one of those rare finds that instantly makes you feel welcome. It’s clearly loved by both locals and tourists, and for good reason. The service is super friendly, and the staff go out of their way to make you feel right at home. The menu is varied with something for everyone, from delicious coffee and specialty drinks to fresh, flavorful food. I had a hard time choosing because everything looked so good! What more could you ask for in a cozy, inviting café? Highly recommended!

Cozy and rustic setting. The best part of our breakfast was the excellent expresso coffee. They made for us grilled cheese sandwiches even though it is not on the menu.

Great first stop. Great coffee. Great banana chocolate muffin, moist and flavoral. Prices were very reasonable.

Cozy little coffee shop in Haines' downtown. Coffee and food was reasonably priced with a good variety. It was clean, well decorated, and overall great vibes. My sister accidentally knocked over her coffee onto the floor and the barista was quick to come not only clean it up, but make her a whole new coffee, which was so nice of her. Would recommend if you're looking for coffee or a breakfast place in Haines.

Loved this place! Visited every day I was in Haines. Mocha every time and I got a chocolate chip cookie twice. Staff was super friendly and everything was good. Very accessible if you are anywhere in town. Internet worked intermittently for me but I read interesting books that were there so not a problem. Be sure to check out the funny coffee bag designs from their supplier as well as the great photography in the back

A vibrant cafe welcomed visitors from all over the world. Their map pinned travelers from Europe to Asia, Russia to Australia. Coffee is refreshing and burritos are delicious
