    Pumpkin spice latte
    Jon T.

    Simple and minimal spot for good coffee. Quite a lot of space to sit down inside and a kiosk ordering system for ease! They have all your usual espresso-made drinks, including (at least right now) a pumpkin spice latte! They have pastries too but at first glance on their kiosk it didn't seem like any were vegan (sadly.) I will check again next time though in case something changes.

    Alas, a proper coffee shop. Sextant is a versatile hub to chat with friends over coffee, a quick drop in or a full on study session when in Mission. The barista, Jonah, is extremely friendly! There are plenty of seating, WIFI and a power outlet are available--surprisingly rarities in SF! The Wired Gandhi is wonderful. Will definitely come back when in the area.

    Came here on a sleepy Saturday looking for a place in Mission to get some work done in the afternoon -- this Sextant location's been open for a year ish and is pretty clean and quiet inside. The tables are kind of small (and there aren't that many), but they have reliable wifi and self service at the counter. There aren't many non-coffee options here, so I got a Wired Gandhi to try it out -- it was way too strong for me personally but I could see some folks enjoying it. My partner got a peppermint latte which he really enjoyed.

    sextant coffee roasters is such an incredible cafe in the mission. free wifi, outlets, there's always seats. ambience is conducive to a productive afternoon. background lofi music isn't too loud. drinks are tasty. i always get the peppermint espresso latte. prices are pretty standard for a sf cafe. restroom is also clean and locked off with a code that the staff can provide. location is great too, near 22 bus line, 16th st bart.

    Grabbed a quick drink before heading out to help a friend with errands--loved the vibes of this place. their drinks were also great--sweet but not overly so, definitely let the coffee have its time to shine.

    I went to three different coffee shops looking for matcha/chai, and then I finally found Sextant. The chai was good, and not too sweet/didn't taste like it was from a concentrate. I really enjoyed it. Sat inside for a little, and the interior was really cute. Good service too!

    I wouldn't recommend this place. Unless you want to waste money. The matcha is actually horrible. They probably use Costco matcha. The flavor is quite strange. I asked for a vanilla latte instead since the matcha seemed to be low quality matcha powder. The cashier had an attitude and was upset about me disliking the matcha. She then made a latte without vanilla syrup which is what I paid for. $8 for a latte without syrup.

    Great coffee and service. I got the latte, satisfied with it. Free wifi. Ambiance is ok, some seats are significantly taller than the table. Ok amount of outlets. Online kiosks to order. Not an ideal place to study, would come back for coffee if I am in the area.

    Ube Latte
    Samantha D.

    Came by on a quiet morning. Mission seems to be pretty empty during the day. I got an ube latte. I don't see it on the menu anymore though. It was great, not too sweet but could still taste the subtleties of the coffee and ube. Would recommend coming for coffee.

    A quick message to all about Sextant Coffee Roasters on Valencia: I ordered their Macchiato, and it's truly outstanding. It jolted me to the bone, as they say--delivering that perfect kick and flavor. The ambience at Sextant is inviting and cozy, making it a great spot to enjoy your coffee. On top of that, the service is exceptional, friendly, and attentive, enhancing the whole experience. I % recommend giving Sextant Coffee Roasters a try if you're around Valencia. This is my 2 cents for today--enjoy great coffee and embrace the moment!

    Iced Matcha Latte w/ oat milk  | $8.75
    Cherylynn N.

    4.5 STARS Matcha lovers know the struggle of finding a solid matcha latte in the city and beyond. Most neighborhood cafes I've been to serve matcha lattes that taste like milk with a splash of matcha made from pre-made concentrate. So, I will go out of my way and brave the anxiety inducing layout and parking situation on Valenica for Sextant. And, risk parking at a loading zone. Shhhh, don't tell DPT. Sextant makes a really solid matcha latte w/ oat milk ($8.75): https://tinyurl.com/4mf5xx7h Ceremonial grade, hand-whisked to order, the matcha latte is robust with a strong earthy vegetal bitterness that's balanced by the creaminess of the oat milk (Califia). So, why not 5 stars? The ONLY sweetener they have is sugar in the raw that doesn't melt in iced drinks. If customers are paying nearly $11 for a matcha latte (post tip), please offer simple syrup or soluble sugar substitute for iced drinks. TIA! O T H E R I N F O * Sextant specializes in Ethiopian coffee and roasts their own beans at their original SoMa location on Folsom. * This is their second location in the city that has a minimalist hipster vibe with limited seating, a mix of high tops and low top tables. Two benches outside. * Online ordering is not live yet. * Bottled drinks available. No pastries available yet. * Quiet with no music playing so you can get work done. * Free WiFi. * One restroom available. * Street parking can be a nightmare but more doable weekday mornings. Bart is just around the corner.

    wanted to try the wired gandhi ($7.50) since it was their specialty. unfortunately I couldn't really taste much of the "dirty" (espresso) part, only the chai part, and it was pretty sweet. the latte was better

    Deepthi T.

    The coffee selection is amazing! First gen Ethiopian founded so a great business to support over a chain like Starbucks. I enjoyed the wired Gandhi (dirty chai latte), it was warm, spiced and a great afternoon pick me up. They have wifi if you want to grab a coffee and work. The space has a nice minimalist design. The barista was also nice! The coffee is a little pricey, but I enjoyed my visit a lot

We both loved our drinks, and I also appreciated the portion sizes--they were just right and really satisfying. I ordered the Velvet Matcha Cloud (a matcha latte with matcha cloud), and my sister got the Matcha Strawberry Cloud, which includes an organic matcha latte topped with house-made strawberry cloud and dried strawberries. Both drinks were beautifully made and tasted great. They also have a wide variety of drink options beyond matcha, including coffee classics like signature pour-overs and espressos, as well as tea and other hot drinks. Their food menu is just as extensive, offering pastries like crepes, croissants, scones, muffins, and even sandwich bites. I really loved the vibe inside Q! It's very aesthetic with a soft, creamy, almost cozy atmosphere. Since we went last Friday on an afternoon, it was quite busy with a mix of tech workers and college students working at tables, but the space still felt comfortable. The staff were kind and working hard despite how busy it was, which I appreciated. Overall, it's a great spot if you're looking for good drinks, a pretty atmosphere, and a productive café environment.

Hey.. isn't this a coffeehouse!??? lol So I went for the Mocha and a blueberry scone. The Mocha was on point but I have to say the scone had a remarkable moist and almost airy texture with plenty of blueberries. 5/5 on the scone, 4.5/5 on the mocha. The servers were all friendly and seemed to enjoy being here as much as I was! I would love to come back again anytime I am nearby, especially midweek when there aren't any lines!

The matcha cream pie was solid. Soft matcha filling with very crispy edge. Whipped cream on top was also tasty. Would not come back here for the matcha. Maybe their food is better. With matcha coming out that quick feels like it wasn't prepared well and lost its quality. Street parking here or parking garage next street over.
