Curator’s note
Before it had a room of its own, Compa roasted small batches of naturally farmed coffee for Hawthorn, the North Park bar Kevin and Dylan Redmond, father and son, opened in 2015, and sold the roasts online and over that counter. Hawthorn closed on Adams Avenue in March 2025, and the Rancho Bernardo cafe now carries the roasts on its own.
The Coffee
The house espresso is Edge of Normal, a blend with a natural Ethiopia in it, which also goes into an espresso tonic with blood orange bitters, and the matcha is ceremonial grade from Nekohama, a local company. The Peru on the shelf comes from the Cerro Blanco producers' association, local families who named it for the white sand mountain around them.

The Vibe
Compa's ceiling is draped in white fabric between the beams, with exposed ducts and track lights beneath it and white dome pendants over a long bar faced in pale wood slats that rise and fall like a mountain line, a blue-green espresso machine on top. Three framed menus hang beside a black wine-and-beer board, and outside, the storefront is a brown stucco arch with Compa in white script over COFFEE ROASTERS.
