The other reason people come back
The Centre itself may bring everyone through the door, but meals are what keep you coming back! The Compass Centre has become known for our food — especially the warm homemade cookies after lunch!
Our desserts … well let's just say “they are always looked forward to” by our guests!
Then … there is Brunch! Brunch is often cited as one of the favorite meals at The Centre!
Compass Centre Shoppe
Our quilt shoppe is nested inside the retreat. No ecommerce. Just the joy of finding the missing piece while you're already here.
Fabric and notions! We have a wide selection of fabric from blenders, batiks, Kaffe, Tula Pink, and more! Our notions include thread, needles, scissors, rotary cutters and blades, and much more!
If you for sure need something specific, let us know two weeks ahead of time and we will obtain it from our supplier! Our fabrics and notions are specially priced for our retreaters!
We accept all debit/credit cards as well as checks and cash for shoppe purchases.
Open 24/7
For our retreat guests!
