Sextant Coffee Roasters

Vertical coffee at its best. This is a Black owned business. The owner has relationships with coffee farmers in Ethiopia and roasts his beans fresh in the back. Sometimes if a particular bean isn’t available up front you can ask if they have any in the back that haven’t been bagged yet. They charge extra to use a credit card so if you buy beans pay with cash to save a buck. I love the low acidity and smoothness of The Windsor, but Maiden Voyage is great for espresso. Their website is frustrating because it says pick up in person is possible but it doesn’t always allow it, and if you want subscription there’s no way to have it be picked up rather than shipped.

Wow, I'm blown away. I ordered an americano and now I can safely say that this cafe KNOWS espresso. Some places will give you something very sour or astringent, but this was heaven. They used their Maiden Voyage beans and frankly I think it was the best americano I've ever had. The barista was great and he answered some questions I had. The atmosphere is very inviting. Also, they roast their beans right in the back of the shop. I can't wait to go back!

Super cute cafe, friendly staff and good cappuccino.
Although it's not my ultimate favourite coffee in SF it's pretty good. (Everyone has different tastes so it's never comparing apples to apples)
Coffee well made and milk was steamed well for a cappuccino.

Amazing, light-soaked interior - brick walls and wooden ceiling. You sit next to the roasting machine. Very friendly staff. Delicious coffee. An inspiring founder story (see their website).

Ample space to sit and strong wifi, so this feels like a good place to get some work done. Note that there are no power outlets though.

For breakfast, they have some pastries but not otherwise much food selection.

Good coffee and a nice brick-lined space to enjoy it. The staff is also friendly and efficient, and the place has a great atmosphere as well as wifi to get a little work done if you need to.

I love coming here in the mornings, their team is genuine and kind and the coffee is great. I love the calm interior and sweet patio too. Lots of healthy snack options, rather than just pastries. But really I come back for the people. The owner always remembers me and makes time to chat

Great experience. The guys working were really helpful and really friendly. The “Da G.O.A.T.” beans are fantastic - we took some back to Boston with us.

Very nice ambiance, good coffee, vegan cookies, bizarrely amazing bathroom. Also, has a balcony and is great for laptopwork.

Very cool spot with amazing coffee, fast service, and during Wi-Fi. pretty quiet space, a little dark, but a good place to work. Didn't look for outlets so I don't know about that. I had an Americano and it was flavourful but not aggressive in flavor.

Excellent pour overs, in-house Probat coffee roaster. Cozy atmosphere and fair price for both a cup of coffee and beans!
