Sextant Coffee Roasters

Very unique roasting and tastes very good. I believe it's because their source of the bean with onsite roast makes the coffee fresh. They also have a back yard area for customers to sit and enjoy their coffee. Their cold brew is a must to try.

Despite the grey exterior, this is a relaxing spot with earthy vibes inside. Great place to sit down and do some work. Good coffee and croissant too.

Great quality of third-wave roaster and coffee shop directly working with farmers across Ethiopia, Kenya, and Colombia. My favorite coffee here are Americano and Cappuccino. Their pastries from local shops are really good too.

My favorite cafe in the neighborhood, and possibly in the city as well. Love the light-filled space and the brick walls, but I think the best part is the patio in the back.

Very friendly staff, and what tops the experience? They give out **amazing** 🐶 treats 🐾

This was always my favorite hidden SOMA gem, and after getting to know the owner Kinani, it is now my go-to spot for beans in the city as well. He's a passionate first generation Ethiopian who truly knows his stuff, if you want to geek out on 🫘.

Other pluses: big beautiful space that always smells like coffee (they roast on site,) a relatively quiet back patio (for SOMA), and my favorite perk: a free trip coffee when you buy a bag of beans ;)

Wishing Kinani all the best

One of the best coffee roasters and coffee shops in the SoMa area of SF. They have not just good coffee, but GREAT coffee here! It’s a lovely space inside and out, with a nice quiet garden area out the back with a few tables and benches. Staff are friendly and helpful. There’s a good selection of coffees and other merch, which is well designed and reasonably priced.

Come here and get the Wired Gandhi (dirty chai) because it is to die for! We love that this coffee shop is dog-friendly and has WiFi and tables for working. The baristas are always so friendly and sometimes give Calli treats!

We’ve tried an almond croissant, peanut butter chocolate cookie, and a blueberry scone (my favorite of the three being the scone) and they were all ok but nothing to write home about.

Will definitely be coming back here again and again!! Highly recommend

Very nice cafe ambiance. Very good coffee - if you like unflavored lattes, this place will not disappoint you. Good pastries. Friendly and good baristas.
Music can get a little loud.

Brilliant independent coffee roastery in San Francisco - worth the hype! I had heard good things about Sextant and it definitely lived up to expectations. Great range of brewing methods, delicious Ethiopian pour-over, and really helpful and knowledgeable staff.

Very mediocre and disappointing. The coffee was fine, but nothing special for a $8 price tag (with 20% default tip) and below average service. The barista was very aloof and mildly unfriendly and so as the guy grinding coffee who seemed to be a manager. The outdoor patio is nice but the place itself is pretty small and not as vibey as it looks in the pictures. Nothing to come back to.
