Sextant Coffee Roasters

Good Ethiopian coffee featured here for their delicious coffees and coffee blends. Now only takeout or delivery but when it's good again definitely linger by one of the tables and enjoy your favorites along one of the pastries while you work on your laptop.

No clue how to make a Mocha,Maybe they do some other drink better? Maybe I just don't like Ethiopian coffee? I rarely leave a bad/fair review because It's not cool, but it was really bad and over priced. I would still say to check them out and see what you think.

Sextant is a diamond in the rough! This is my favorite spot in SoMa for coffee - the layout and atmosphere of the spot is relaxing and the coffee is delicious. Everyone working here is so polite and professional, and know their craft. Personally love the Yirgacheffe and their espresso as well.

This cute coffee shop doesn't have all the displays, snacks, and pastries of a Starbucks. They make a good cup of coffee and I had a really delicious chocolate croissant here. I like that my coffee was served in a real cup and my pastry on a plate. They have their big roaster in the back, giving this place a really homey feel.

The absolute best Ethiopian roasts I’ve had in the Bay Area, beautiful espresso and great care as well. Excellent customer service, a true hidden gem.

Their coffee is so on point! These guys have state-of-the-art brewing technology and devices, so every espresso pull comes out perfectly. The staff are amazingly passionate about their craft, and highly knowledgeable. Spark up a conversation with them and you'll find a demeanor far from snooty and uptight.

They also roast in this small location.

The outside sitting area is a plus, given most cafes don't seem to have one. The inside seating is inviting, and seems like an okay place to post up for a short-while and work. Never too busy there, from the times I went.

The basics on Sextant Coffee Roasters:
1. It's not the most exciting coffee shop, but that might be exactly what you're looking for.
2. The place serves exclusively Ethiopian Coffee, which is great by me.
3. The beans are roasted on site.
4. A bag of beans to go is extremely reasonable.
5. The pour overs are outstanding, the lattes above average.
6. There's plenty of street parking.
7. It's a fine place to get some work done, not a whole lot of action.
8. It's your basic 3rd wave shop serving really good coffee.

A horrible customer service employee was rude and said he wanted to close early while hours showed open until 3:00 pm.

Their iced lattes are very good!

I had an excellent latte here early on a Friday morning. The cafe is vast and has a lot of character, with beautiful red brick walls. They seem to have an outdoor patio at the back. Service was super friendly too.
