Sextant Coffee Roasters

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!

Almost easy to miss location of the chain in Mission, but perfect for a coffee pick-me-up! My friend and I ordered a pumpkin spice latte and a Frosty Gandhi respectively, and we both enjoyed our drinks. The Frosty Gandhi was a peppermint chai latte with espresso and was both refreshing because of the peppermint and comforting because of the chai spices.The shop itself was pretty minimalistic -- the interior was cute with the pink walls and the modern decor, and we ordered through a kiosk. The employee present was really helpful in answering our question about whether milk alternatives would cost extra.

Sextant Coffee brings together great taste with minimalist vibes, making it a perfect spot to finish work or catch up with friends. Nestled in a prime location on Valencia Street--an area quickly becoming a foodie haven--this cafe holds its own with a simple yet impactful menu.I ordered a vanilla caramel latte, and it was spot on: creamy with a nice balance between the vanilla and caramel flavors--neither overpowering the other.That said, my visit at 8 AM, right as they opened, came with a couple of letdowns. The pastry case was empty, leaving me without a chance to sample what they offer. On top of that, the bathroom wasn't in its best condition--no toilet paper and not freshly cleaned, which is surprising for a cafe that had just opened for the day.Overall: Delicious coffee, minimalist charm, and worth visiting. Hopefully, you'll have better luck snagging a pastry than I did!

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

4.5 STARSMatcha 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.

Tasty drinks! Can't wait to come back and try more. Came in the afternoon and there was plenty of seating

This might be my new favorite wfh coffee shop around Mission! There's free wifi, but limited seating with three wider tables with bar stools (and the right side has more solo seats). Coming in, there is a self-ordering kiosk if you'd like to use (pretty straightforward). I am usually a fan of iced drinks, but here - they blew me away with their hot Wired Gandhi drink (espresso with chai). It's on the sweeter side, but it's my new must get drink. Highly recommend. My only wish is that they would close their front doors. A couple of bugs get into the store, but otherwise - the shop is nice and quaint, restroom and areas are all clean. I wouldn't have any loud meeting calls here, however. More of a nice and quiet spot to work and chat with friends.

I've only been once to this spot and I loved both of the drinks my partner and I ordered. I got a latte hot with oat milk and added lavender, it was soooo good. My partner ordered an iced latte with oat milk and it also was soooo good. This spot doesn't seem like a place to do work or stay for a long time. It's quiet and there is seating but the seating doesn't look comfortable for long time seating. I'm not sure if they offer Wifi. I'm very happy this spot opened up in my neighborhood.

I am not a coffee connoisseur but I randomly dropped in and really happy with the dripCoffee the barista made for me . She was so nice and helped educate me on coffee and drinks ! She was really nice and obviously loves her job . Will have to come back and be more adventurous with my order !!

It was really delicious espresso! we got a cappuccino with oat milk (they use califia) and the art was incredible. Very smooth tasting espresso no bitter or acidic aftertaste, would recommend! The service was also great and the atmosphere was very peaceful and nice!
