The thing that has about 10 different names (egg in a hole, treasure island, birdie in the nest, egg on a wall, toad in a hole, etc. etc.) Yep, we do fancy versions of that. We park in the neighborhood (10th & Maple, Lower South Hill, Spokane, WA), and we exist for the sake of the neighborhood: bringing people together around great food, hiring local people, and benefiting neighborhood causes with a portion of each day's proceeds.

Who's ready for the FINAL Wagon Weekend of the year? On the menu this Saturday, October 3rd, is our classic breakfast burrito with or w/o bacon, as well as the "el niño!" We're sad to see this shortened season come to a close, but we hope everyone gets their fix in before we come back stronger than ever!
Return of the biscuits! This Saturday. 10th and Maple. We'll be slinging out Biscuits and Gravy as well as the beloved Biscuit Sammy. 8:00-12:00, or until we run out, whichever comes first! (No eggs were harmed in the making of this post)
This 7 inch stack of tortillas is ready for all of your faces! We were overjoyed at the support we received last weekend, and we are gearing up for Breakfast burritos with or without bacon, this Saturday, 10th and Maple, 8:00-12:00! Swing by to get your tasty to-go meal and a "retro" Compass Breakfast Wagon t-shirt! (No el niño this week, but rest assured, it will be back)
The Wagon Rides Again! Attention Gravy lovers...🤤This Saturday the 12th, from 8:00am-noon (or WHILE SUPPLIES LAST, whatever comes first), the Compass Breakfast Wagon will be back at our classic 10th and Maple spot! We will be serving a very limited menu of our Biscuits and Gravy, with the option to add eggs and hashbrowns. We look forward to seeing you all very, very soon — masked up and 6ft apart, neighbors!
Welp, it’s big announcement time. Four years ago I bought a 1972 camping trailer and started a chapter of my life that would be about neighborhood and community and food. I worked my tail off for a year transforming that thing into a legal mobile food unit, with a little help from my friends. Then, with a lot of help from other friends, we served up b-fast burritos and biscuits and sandwiches and coffee for a few seasons in my beloved Cliff Cannon neighborhood. We’ve had lots of fun adventures, and a couple misadventures along the way :). But my food/neighborhood/community story is now continuing in a new chapter, as Executive Director at @feastworldkitchen working alongside dozens of former refugee and immigrant chefs who are also aspiring food entrepreneurs. And my time with The Compass Breakfast Wagon is coming to an end. But the BEST NEWS is that my dear friend Gavin Lynch has bought the business from me, and he plans to continue it (and no doubt make it better than ever). I’ve been privileged to be a mentor to Gavin since he was in middle school (via the @shiftjrhi community), and I couldn’t be happier for him to take this opportunity on. It’s the culmination of many, many conversations. He has a great heart, a knack for entrepreneurship, and food service management is in his blood! Covid times have been really tough on food trucks — gathering crowds simply isn’t the right thing to do in 2020. But Gavin has plans to salvage a bit of this season in our good ol’ spot at 10th & Maple, on Saturdays as soon as he’s fully re-permitted and ready to roll. The re-permitting is in process and has been slowed by the current crisis, to say the least (its almost like the health dept is busy w/ other stuff...). But the plan is for a safe, distanced, order-ahead takeout spot so you can stroll down and grab your fave burritos, biscuits, gravy, etc :) on a Saturday morning, and greet your neighbors from afar. And then after this season, he’ll plan for better days ahead. Support this youngin’ — I know I will be supporting him. Gavin: U GOT THIS! - Ross Carper
There are rumors... JUST RUMORS... that the Wagon will ride again at some point this summer... so get ready Wagoneers! When the time is right for some safe neighborhood walk-up breakfast goodies, there just may be a big wooden window flipping open at 10th & Maple😘
Looking at this drawing by Joey Bareither and remembering happier times :). We miss y'all, and the pop-up thing at Feast was fun last Saturday. But for now -- for many reasons -- our business is on hold, and we have no idea what the future will bring. We LOVE you, neighbors!
Like old times with Gavin and Danny... but without the ol’ trailer. Successful pop up renting Feast World Kitchen this morning - great to see some familiar friendly faces 🙂. When I got home little miss Mimi was still enjoying her burrito 😍 @ Feast World Kitchen
Pop Up this Saturday 9-12 - cooking and car hopping down at Feast World Kitchen (3rd/Cedar)! Follow the link! We’ll take orders until midnight Thursday! It’s order ahead online only, limited menu, and no-contact curbside pickup! We can’t wait to wave to you as we serve you, pals! It’s been too long! https://the-compass-breakfast-wagon.square.site
Big step down at Feast World Kitchen! Love working with fellow neighborhood food entrepreneur Dan Todd and many others on this nonprofit we are building! - Ross
All smiles when we (finally) got health dept approval today to operate out of THIS commercial kitchen at Feast’s location! We will continue with our catering-only phase (www.feastworldkitchen.org/catering) for a bit and then start rocking the takeout biz as soon as our chefs and facility feel ready to take that step well. Thanks for your incredible support and patience as we get this thing rolling and keep overcoming obstacles! Our chefs have overcome so much to make a new life here in Spokane, so it’s a joy to offer a legit kitchen to celebrate their amazing food and culture! Happy Friday y’all!
Had a blast getting to know Fadhaa in the kitchen today :)
Feast chef Fadhaa is catering a private event today! He’s used to cooking for a crowd — he ran kitchens that fed U.S. soldiers, contractors, and workers by the hundreds back in his home country Iraq. We are so glad he is cooking with us today :) - book your group’s catering at www.feastworldkitchen.org/catering
Oooooooh snap I finally made it down to my buddy Callie’s amazing shop Made With Love Bakery and DANG. Good for the soul: friendly smiles, fresh baked cookie, and hot @indabacoffee on a cold afternoon. Support it friends! @ West Central, Spokane
An ode to our best selling item. My 9 year old daughter Caroline showed me this. Because it is specifically that 9-year-old sense of humor.

Sometimes the best breakfast is the simplest, enjoyed over quiet, slow conversation. I miss cooking for my neighbors on a Saturday morning, but closing early this year is allowing me to help launch @feastworldkitchen — and also to take an anniversary weekend with my beloved Autumn in Nelson, BC! Cheers my friends! - Ross
The big wooden window just flipped down for the season — and the Lower South Hill Block Party was a great way to end a great year. Thanks everyone for all your love and support! Excited to focus energy on the launch of @feastworldkitchen !!!

Friends, we are very excited for this new nonprofit / restaurant that is forming in the neighborhood! Check out this great article in the Spokesman!
It was food that brought together Bright Brown and Dorcas Awuah years ago on the other side of the world. Awuah sold kenkey and fried fish, along with other dishes, from a roadside cart in Ghana. Brown would visit the stand, buy the food and watch – with appreciation – as Awuah served others wit...
This weekend, $1 from each sale goes toward a new nonprofit we are helping form: Feast World Kitchen! Link in profile to volunteer or partner!

It was a wonderful summer full of love and literacy in the neighborhood at Summer Reading Club every Wednesday morning! Some of the kids requested that I bring the wagon down for a biscuit party to cap off the year... and how could I say no to that? Thanks to all the volunteers from the neighborhood and from @first_pres_spokane and thanks to these amazing kids! Have a great year at Roosevelt starting tomorrow buddies!

It’s The Compass Breakfast Wagon morning show🤓!
This St. Patty’s green food party is gonna be fun. All natural spinach food coloring on our gravy — the peppers completely hide all spinach flavor, but nothing can hide how gross this looks. 3rd and Walnut 8-12 Sat!
Danny, Anna, and I (Ross) had a record-breaking day at the Wagon, and then we counted down the seconds on the last shift of the year. 7 weeks in the books, but we gotta winterize the Wagon and make all kinds of plans for how it will be even better in 2018! Thank you all for your ❤️ and support and feedback during this trial run we’ve had. So excited to improve and be a fixture of this neighborhood’s breakfast scene in the non-frozen months...
When you have leftover Common Crumb Artisan Bakery bread, sometimes you have to “dance your toast” — at least Iris thinks so. #breakfast #dayoff
MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: In celebration of the launch of our Kickstarter campaign (now thru 10/21/17!) and the breakfasts we're finally legally able to serve you, we're dropping a new original song and its music video: U Got This! If you've always wondered why more food trucks don't write and record an original 1980s-big-hair-band-style motivational rock anthem as part of their launch, then we're the food truck (trailer, actually) for you! Enjoy the song and video, stop by for some breakfast soon, and always remember.... U GOT THIS! Check out our Kickstarter campaign! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/792864818/the-compass-breakfast-wagon-neighborhood-focused-f
