You can now buy coffee with Bitcoin across U.S.

Bitcoin (BTC) enthusiasts often complaint that the cryptocurrency has been reduced to a store of value and can hardly be used anywhere to pay for products and services.

Merchants, on the other hand, argue Bitcoin is an extremely volatile asset; which is why, they cannot accept Bitcoin payments.

However, there are some cafes across states in the United States where you can pay for your coffee with Bitcoin.

Compass Coffee

Compass Coffee is a popular coffee chain with multiple stores in both Washington, D.C. and Virginia. The chain grows its coffee in El Salvador and roasts it in America.

In October 2025, Compass Coffee revealed that it has begun accepting Bitcoin payments.

The chain has also been engaged in crypto education, showcasing how to buy your coffee with Bitcoin at its stores.

Shortwave Coffee

Shortwave Coffee started as a small, family-run roastery in 2014, only to turn into a popular enterprise more than a decade later.

The chain operates in five locations across three U.S. states: two in Columbia, one in St. Louis, outposts in Minneapolis, and a roastery in Tampa, Florida.

The local Bitcoin community kept persisting with Shortwave Coffee for a long time to accept payments in the cryptocurrency.
