i am a native and moved out of sf a couple years ago, and every time i come back to the city this is the place i always go because of how much i miss it. drinks are delicious, staff are so nice and helpful, and the space is a perfect place to chat with friends, get some work done etc. if this cafe were to ever close i would give their franchise all my money to open it back up. highly recommend for anyone, but especially coffee enthusiasts. read more

Solid vanilla latte. Not too sweet. Very good coffee flavor. A couple of my friends ordered the raspberry matcha which was delicious. I'd come back! read more

Compton's Coffee House - Vanilla iced latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Compton's has such a sweet neighborhood vibe! While it attracts a lot of new/weekend visitors, it's definitely a neighborhood staple for regulars. The staff are super friendly and are the heart of what makes this place so special. The coffee is always fantastic. I always get a vanilla latte, either iced or hot, and it's always a consistently good cup. I'm also a big fan of their raspberry matcha. They have a seasonal drinks menu that features a few creative and unique styles drinks. I always stop here or walk by on my walks because even if I don't get a drink, the vibe is so uplifting. There are always people and dogs pouring out. It's truly a third space. The other day I saw two women get to chatting because one was knitting and the other stopped to introduce herself and invite her to a craft group. Just adore!!!! read more

Compton's Coffee House - Vanilla lattes: hot & iced - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

EARL GREY latte. I love Earl Grey everything (One65 offers earl grey blackberry mouse cake). Compton's is a small coffee house with both interior and exterior seating and a perfect spot to grab coffee or tea before/after Fillmore shopping. The pasty selection is standard however the lattes are premium - they make their syrup in house and espresso beans are always fresh. read more

Had been wanting to try the specialty matcha for quite sometime and happened to be in the area for the Fillmore Jazz Festival and seized the opportunity. The offering was a raspberry based iced matcha so I was curious to try. Overall the matcha was good but I would have preferred to have more raspberry fruit chucks instead of the puree version. Service was fast given the number of people in the area for the festival with minimal seating available as it's primarily a grab and go place. read more

Came on a Saturday around 11:15 am and they were quite busy so my drink took around 10 mins. I ordered an iced vanilla oat latte and though it was a good strength and sweetness, something about the flavor tasted off to me, like an artificial taste. Decent price and size. read more

I decided to stop by and order an iced raspberry matcha latte, which was $7 before tip. It was done within 2 minutes, and the raspberry part was very sweet and fruity. The matcha itself is decently strong too but make sure you mix it if you want the flavor to be even throughout, or alternately you could drink it from the top to gradually go from a strong matcha flavor down to a dairy and sweet finish at the bottom. Overall I thought it was pretty good, just wish it was not as pricey! read more

Quick line to order. Although the coffee house is not large, there's a couple seating and then some standing space. Order a hot latte ($5.50) which was 10oz. The pickup area gets a bit crowded. As for the latte, the beans are really good, has some caramel with cherry notes. The prices are really good for a cup of coffee. Has some interesting flavors such as raspberry matcha and early grey latte with espresso shot. read more

This place is definitely a coffee house. My sister ordered a chai latte and it was.... Okay. But the seasonal orange blossom drink I ordered was delicious and although I didn't order a pastry, a lot of them looked tasty. They had a long line, but it cleared fairly quickly. The only downside is the interior is quite small so if you're hoping for a spot to sit and do your work, this might not be the place unless you get there early or are willing to wait. read more

This is a cute very quaint coffee house in a pretty busy area of town. I got a cortado as that is my go to at most coffeehouses and it definitely was too milky. I felt like the ratio was off. My husband got a cappuccino and he loved it. So probably a place worth stopping by if you're in the area but for me it wasn't anything to rave about. Service was friendly. read more

Cute coffee shop in the heart of Pacific Heights. They make a rich, flavorful decaf that makes a great iced coffee or hot mocha. Very little seating, typically snapped up by the locals, so don't plan on drinking in! read more

Visited San Francisco for my birthday weekend and I wanted to try ALLL the Coffee shops!! So many options in the city I was overwhelmed by which one to pick for the day. I decided to go to Compton's as it was the nearest to me at the time. OMGGGG best decision!! I had saved this spot in my collection and seen that everyone was raving about their raspberry matcha but once I arrived there was so many other options I wanted to try. I asked the girl taking my order what she recommended and we decided on the Raspberry Matcha since that was the reason I wanted to go there in the first place LOL. She was the most friendliest staff I have ever come across! It felt like we became friends at the moment!! She also let me know that if I didn't like my drink we could trade it out. Of course I tried my drink and did NOT want to trade it out... it was soooo yummy!! Even though the shop was pretty busy she still made the time to double check and make sure I liked my drink. EXTRA POINTS!! The space is small but super cute! I wouldn't recommend working here but a great space for pick up or to grab coffee with a friend! There is seating outside which would be perfect when the weather is nice. read more

Came here on a Saturday morning and the line was long and out the door and the place itself is pretty loud and cramped inside, so I grabbed my drink to go. I ordered a latte with oat milk and added the peppermint syrup from their holiday menu, and easily one of the best lattes I've had. What really made it work was how subtle the peppermint was. It wasn't sweet or candy cane like at all but more herbal. And despite all the chaos, the baristas were super friendly. The person taking my order was especially helpful and patient. This was the perfect drink for a cold SF morning and a long walk afterward. Worth the line for me, at least for that peppermint latte. read more

It's been over four years since I last tried Compton's Coffee House, and frankly I had forgotten that I'd been here before until I saw my own review upon checking in. Despite this passage of time, my latest visit was just as good as the first time (based on my previous review!) My partner and I both decided to get flat whites. Both came out at the perfect temperature - hot but not tongue-scalding. The espresso was *strong*, and the steamed milk had the perfect creamy mouthfeel, with an extra bonus of pretty art. It was quite busy when we stopped by shortly before lunchtime on a Saturday. There was a line out the door, but it moved quickly; it took a bit longer to get our drinks, but understandable given their popularity. The staff we interacted with were all lovely. I wish I lived closer to Compton's so I could go more often! Next time I return, hopefully it'll be much sooner than four years. read more

Run. Don't walk. The coffee is very balanced, no frills, no fuss, just the perfect cup of coffee to start your day. And if it's not perfect to you, they will tailor it to how you want it. And bonus, the staff is customer centered focus, the nicest baristas and manager. I will definitely make this a regular stop. Shout out to the barista who made sure our dirty chai order was exactly how we wanted it. read more

Fav coffee shop in the city hands down! I love the location of this one, I have found it tough to work from here because space and seats are a bit limited and they do get taken pretty quickly... but it's great to stop, grab a drink and stroll fillmore. I always get the raspberry matcha which is delicious each time, unique flavor combination and solid matcha. Recently I got the maple cinnamon latte and really enjoyed it! Wasn't too sweet but could still taste hints of maple and cinnamon, and overall great coffee :) read more

Compton's Coffee House - Maple Cinnamon Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Compton's on Fillmore is one of my go-to coffee stops. This joint is snug and absolutely charming. They have my favorite seasonal lattes. In the summer, I opt for an iced touch of grey latte, their take on like an iced london fog. It's creamy, has the lovely earl grey aroma, and is not overly sweet. In the winter, I go for the maple cinnamon latte. It tastes like cinnamon toast crunch milk in the best way possible. The most perfect treat and I wish they carried it all year round, it is that good. The rest of the year, I'll settle (wink, wink) with a classic vanilla latte or just black iced coffee. I'll always add extra ice to all my drinks because they usually go pretty light on ice, which is loved by most! but I just prefer more. They do everything so well and the staff is always super friendly, even when there is a line out the door! Weekdays are easy, quick in and out. There are always a bunch of people working or catching up, so it's typically always lively in there. Fridays and weekends, you can expect a a crowd and lengthy line. I've worked there on a few occasions as well: great wifi! A little loud but expected for a small shop. Add to your list of must stops in the city. read more

I got an iced vanilla latte, and it was definitely on the sweeter side, but really yummy! The service was quick, and while the space is small, it has a cozy atmosphere. A great spot to grab a coffee when you're on the go read more

If the place is super crowded at all times, it's a sign that we must try it !!! This is a cute little cafe with wifi and limited seatings. Their seasonal coffees are famous. I tried orange infused cappuccino- Loved it! We also tried, veg scone - Delicious! It is savory with some cheese and hint of garlic and spring onions. (I think) Morning bun: it is cinnamon coated pastry , not too sweet , just perfect. Coffee is not too strong, kind of on milder side. So order as per your preference. read more

Latte with hint of earl grey with almond milk was delightful. Service was very friendly. It was a bit of a wait around noon on Sunday, but worth it! Small space with very few tables so mostly a: to go situation. read more

Unfortunately, this matcha was a miss for me the iced matcha latte tasted so watery and bland. I tried to add honey to sweeten it, but it only made it slightly better. The raspberry matcha latte was definitely better than the normal matcha latte, but it was sooo raspberry forward, it just tasted over sweet and like drinking straight raspberry flavored syrup. Super cute shop though and nice, fast service! read more

Compton's Coffee House - Raspberry iced matcha latte Iced matcha latte with oat milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I am so, so appreciative of the staff for working on Thanksgiving Day, and I am glad they closed early and could hopefully spend time with loved ones. My friend and I dropped by Compton's Coffee House for caffeine and to warm up. The shop is quite small but due to the holiday, there weren't many people inside. I got the raspberry matcha and it came out quickly. The matcha was a gorgeous green, and did not taste bitter. The raspberry syrup was a bit of a letdown to me as it tasted more candy-like than I had expected and overpowered the matcha. While I did like the raspberry matcha as an overall drink, next time I will likely order a plain matcha latte to better taste the tea. read more

Love their vanilla iced coffee so yummy!!! My fav coffee shop in the city !! Would def recommend

Compton's was bustling on a Saturday morning, but the line moves quickly. Inside is long and narrow with a few small tables. There's wifi, but because of how packed and loud it is, I can't imagine doing work here, at least on the weekends. While waiting to eat at Woodhouse Fish Co. right next door, we sipped on the lavender latte and the Touch of Grey, a special spring latte with house made earl grey syrup. Both drinks were yummy but tasted pretty similar. I was searching for the earl grey flavor and couldn't really find it, so I wish I got their elderflower spritz with espresso, lemonade, and elderflower syrup instead. I enjoyed the drinks, but since this coffeeshop is out of the way for me, I'd probably only get Compton's again if I was in the area. read more

One of my friends told me that this was one of her favorite coffee shops in the city, so I've had it bookmarked for a while. I decided to stop by on a Tuesday morning and it was packed. Order at the register, find a seat, and pick up your order once it's called. Even though coffee house is in the name, I decided to order the Cardamom Rose Black Tea Latte ($5.50) since the flavors called out to me. +Drinkable temperature: Hot, but doesn't burn your mouth/tongue +Tea was strong. +Creamy and not too sweet -Couldn't taste the rose, which was overpowered by the cardamom. -Unlike lattes w/coffee & matcha, there's no latte art. Side notes: 1.) Indoor bar and bench seating and outdoor table seating 2.) Restrooms available for customers 3.) Walking distance from 38/38R bus stop *Verdict: With the plants and jazz music playing in the background, this was a relaxing way to start off my day. It's a nice spot to meet up with someone or WFH. Next time I'll try one of their coffee options. read more

All the baristas were quick and efficient carefully preparing all the drinks. There were good matcha flavor but prefer it a bit bolder in our hot and iced lattes. Simple syrup was pure and not overly sweet like other chain shops. I only wish the hot drinks were much hotter. read more

Met up with some friends here for a quick 2pm pick-me-up on Friday and it was packed with people. This shop is located on a busy street so it gets a lot of foot traffic. It's a small shop so all the tables already had the remote workers posted up on them. Luckily, Alta Park is a short walk away! I got the Honey Rose Latte off of their seasonal menu and unfortunately, it came out more bitter than I had expected contrary to its name. However, my friends got the Raspberry Matcha Latte off their regular menu and it was delicious (hence why I still gave this spot 4/5 stars). I would come back to try their other menu items! read more
