Noah Jashinski, who has more than a decade in specialty coffee at Intelligentsia, Blue Bottle and Germany's Five Elephant, opened Compilation in September 2022 at 102 St Marks Place. It served pourover only, with no espresso, batch brew or cold brew, and Jashinski said it was "meant to feel like a wine bar for coffee." Oren Bloostein of Oren's Coffee roasted the St Marks beans.
Compilation's Brooklyn shop on Gold Street has angled timber slats and linear lights along its ceiling, with glass on two sides of its ground-floor corner. A long communal table runs down the middle of the room, and a timber window ledge faces the sidewalk.
