Sextant Coffee Roasters

The environment looks very new and modern. The server were pretty nice to us and they do provide free water. The latte was OK, naughty most of Tang, but acceptable.

New location. They still roast their beans at their SOMA location. Just had a tasty chai/espresso drink there today, and got some work done at their nicely designed bar-height tables. Pastries are now stocked from a bakery called The French Spot. The kouign aman I sampled was a bit more syrupy and less flaky than I would have liked.

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.

Sextant has an amazing vibe, warm, inviting, and effortlessly cool. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels both cozy and stylish, making it the perfect spot to relax, catch up with friends, or get some work done. The coffee is exceptional, rich, smooth, and perfectly brewed. Whether you’re into classic espresso drinks or unique specialty blends, they nail it. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always happy to recommend something . Plus, the attention to detail in both the drinks and décor makes it clear they truly care about the experience. Definitely a must-visit for coffee lovers!

Grabbed a cappuccino here at 12pm on the morning of the SF pride parade. Amazing service, the barista made me feel super welcome and was rocking some sweet green glasses. Best cappuccino I've had all month--rich velvet foam, perfect temperature that didn't burn my tongue, cute latte art. The wood tables are beautiful and the quiet morning ambiance was the perfect way to start the day.

I would stop by Sextant for a mocha a few times a week when I Iived in SoMa - so glad they opened this second location on Valencia! The owner is super friendly, and he roasts his own beans and sources them from Ethiopia (where he's originally from). The new space is minimalist & calming, with the finishing touches still coming together as they've only just opened. The mocha here is consistent and delicious. My wife's go-to is the Wired Gandhi - they make their spice blend for the chai in-house.

New location, new vibes! Still in soft opening phase so this location is a bit bare. The drinks are at the standard of their first location. I noticed beans on the menu but didn't see any on the shelves, so they may not be stocked yet. Some seating in the location. Looking forward to them building this location out!
