Golden Goat Coffee

I wish I lived closer. Sigh. Ever since my first visit, I've been dreaming about their matcha every day. After having this spot on my list for the past year, I was finally able to stop by during All-Star Weekend. A short walk from the Caltrain station, but upon arrival, I almost missed it because it's in an alley way with no signs from the sidewalk. I saw the line though and knew I was in the right place. Saturday mornings are busy here and pastries were all gone come 10am.It's definitely a small space. Very minimal seating inside, mostly just for customers to sit and wait for their drink. There's tiny benches outside as well, but probably best to just grab your drink and go!I was fortunate enough to come when they had their lychee rose matcha latte as part of their seasonal offers. Omg. SO. GOOD. I should've ordered three for myself. I will have to make the drive to come back before it's rotated out. If only it could stay on the menu permanently.... hmmm.Will come back regardless to taste more of the menu! Awesome gem in SF.

经典热奶咖可以喝，但不出彩独家调制的各类糖浆却非常有水平！！！使得甜饮的口味都柔顺平衡而且经常会出不同的搭配值得无数次回头隔一段时间没去还怪想的要不是大白天还真不敢走进这条脏乱的小巷附近也确实游荡着很多流浪汉走进店里讨水喝的就有好几个主街的车流量适中找到付费街趴位不算太难近似于档口的面积门前摆着两条木制长椅室内只有三两个座位店外不间断的长队有限的空间里时刻保持着拥挤的状态周末不营业！！！咖啡师的听力好虚弱一直听他重复："啊？Sorry？我聋..."还时不时地埋怨后面排队的顾客聊天太大声...CORTADO浓缩的酸度极其突出，明亮而清新，虽然没有什么不舒适的味道，但我就是对酸浓缩无感，回味中充满了浓郁的焦糖香，融合度不错THE GOLDEN GOAT【山羊奶姜黄野花蜂蜜拿铁】Meyenberg Goat Milk｜Turmeric｜Wildflower Honey｜Espresso都不用凑近闻，若隐若现的羊奶鲜香就已经悄悄地散发在周围的空气里，喝起来与牛奶的质地没有太大的区别，略微浓郁，会偏咸一些，余味则无疑是发挥出了羊"膻"的特性姜黄粉的占比很小，不辣不冲，蜂蜜也只是少量，浓缩自带清新的柑橘酸，配方确实厉害，味道好自然PANDAN BANANA MATCHA【斑斓香蕉抹茶拿铁】AOl Matcha｜Pandan Banana Simple Syrup｜Condensed Coconut Milk｜Steamed Oat Milk｜Dragonfruit Powder入口能同时尝到三种味道：火龙果粉的甜、抹茶的苦、以及椰奶的香，却没有一种配料得以保留斑斓香蕉糖浆有意思，几乎感受不到斑斓的草本清新，反而是香蕉自身的强烈气味成为了唯一存在的元素，这杯甜度超标ORANGE BLOSSOM CAPPUCCINO【苦橙花卡布奇诺】Housemade Honey Orange Blossom Syrup｜Espresso｜Oat Milk｜Black Sea Salt自制橙花糖浆真的好优秀，清淡的香气先悠悠地飘进鼻腔，再逐渐散发至整个口腔，甜度合适，完全不抢浓缩的风头，甚至让我感觉，还就得搭配这种酸浓缩才能让味道更上一层楼肉眼可见奶泡打得很绵密，入口柔顺细腻，非常厉害的特调～GINGER MOLASSES CAPPUCCINO【生姜糖蜜卡布奇诺】Housemade Ginger Molasses Syrup｜Espresso｜Steamed Milk｜Biscoff Cookie Crumbles比较难形容这种微妙的口味，本以为会是极其甜腻的冬日热饮，没想到竟是以咸和酸为主，糖蜜所带来的甜感是温和柔顺的，可惜缺少了一些生姜的辛辣

Cutest Coffee Spot, but the Drinks? Next-Level.My boyfriend and I had this place on our list forever, and we finally made it! We were so hyped to try the buko pandan matcha latte, but turns out it was seasonal. The barista, though, put us on to an unreleased lychee rose matcha latte, and my boyfriend went for it.DrinksOkay, so I normally hate rose drinks--too many bad experiences. But this?? This was different. The lychee was the star, and the rose was just a light floral touch instead of that usual perfume overload. It was refreshing, not too sweet, and honestly, the best rose drink I've ever had.I got the ginger snap cappuccino as a latte, and they really delivered on flavor. It tasted exactly like the menu described--super spiced and cozy. Not my vibe, but if you love ginger, you'll be obsessed.Vibes & ExperienceThis spot is adorable but kinda hard to find, and when we got there, it was packed. The energy was great, though, and the baristas were super nice and helpful with recommendations.Final ThoughtsWould I come back? 1000%, especially to see what new drinks they drop. If you love unique lattes and a cute café aesthetic, this place is it--just be ready for crowds!

9/10Discovered this hole in the wall coffee shop with my friend. The aroma of coffee beans was super fragrant upon entering the store. The staff were friendly and the drinks are very pretty.I got an iced ginger molasses cappuccino. The drink was very bold and condensed. I would ask for less ice next time. The store has a limited menu for specialty drinks and often changes items seasonably. I'm looking forward to coming back and getting other items! It's definitely a must try for those exploring SF's coffee.

This coffee shop is located in an alleyway across from a Shell gas station. I finally tried their signature drink, the Golden Goat Cappuccino ($7.00):+Drinkable temperature: Hot, but doesn't burn your mouth/tongue+Cute latte art-As someone who usually orders 25-50% sweetness, I wish there was more honey to balance out the espresso and turmeric.-Coming from someone who eats goat and lamb, I thought the goat milk was very gamey.Other drinks I've tried:+Iced Pandan Banana Matcha (seasonal)-Chai Latte-Orange Cardamom Cappuccino (seasonal)Side notes:1.) Limited indoor and outdoor bench seating2.) Restroom available for customers*Verdict: 3.5 starsEven though everything I've tried has been a mixed bag, I enjoy how they have a rotating menu.

It's a cute little shop on the side of a big building. We struggled a little trying to find the place. The iced vanilla matcha was good! My boyfriend didn't like his coffee very much. We wanted to try the ube white mocha, but it was sold out.

this is easily one my fav sf coffee places! such a cute/small cafe hidden in the side of the Shell! The baristas are friendly and it's just such a welcoming vibe! They do charge extra for oat milk ($0.75 which is no bueno) but coffee is good! The only problem is that the coffee is never hot enough (so I always have to come back and reheat it) Trying to establish myself as regular here lol. They have limited seating (like one bench inside and out), but they do have wifi + a bathroom

An unassuming hole in the wall coffee shop. Drinks are not too sweet. I personally wasn't a fan of the golden goat. I wish it was sweeter. It definitely leaned more on the savory side. Orange cinnamon was not over powering in artificial orange flavor.

Average coffee, I didn't think it was anything exceptional or above and beyond. For being so highly rated I expected a little more than a sour coffee. The wait was also pretty long. Staff was friendly and pastries were good.

What a treat! I didn't get his name but he was so welcoming and easy to talk to. I got the namesake drink which includes goat milk and he asked me in advance if I had it before and warned me about the unique flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Beautiful smooth texture just enough honey and lovely rich espresso. The goat milk gave a bit of grassy flavor like goat cheese (I guess that makes sense!) but very soft. This is not a chill and work for a while space. It's off the beaten path with just enough room to wait for your coffee with a couple benches inside and outside, but well worth the stop. Tiny little operation so hours can be uncertain so give their instagram a peak before heading over.
