    Matcha latte
    Sarah C.

    Had a delicious oat flat white! Also tried the iced matcha latte but thought it was a little weak, so I wouldn't come just for that. It's a small store but has good amount of seating and WiFi

    Earl grey latte
    Nini M.

    Busy small shop. A lot of people hanging out. Made our drinks pretty fast. The vanilla latte was good but the earl grey latte, that everyone gets was lacking something. Very milky. I would try something else

    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.

    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.

    Great little coffee shop on Fillmore in Pacific Heights. This place was jumping, with a long line out the door. Seating is available both inside and out. The coffee is excellent!! We definitely enjoyed our time together here. It's a great little place!

    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.

    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.

    great coffee, friendly staff, drinks come out quickly even when they're busy. i love that they still offer soy milk and it's less than $1, which is rare for the city. it's also so rare to have at least 1 labeled vegan option in the pastry case, which i really appreciate and would always love to see more of.

    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 :)

    Raspberry Matcha
    Celeste G.

    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.

    Iced Vanilla Latte
    Louis S.

    Great coffee!! Definitely one of my favorites on my trip to San Francisco. Fast service.

    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.

    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!

The coffee bar is open with the ability to see baristas making drinks as ordered with also a display for pastries to pair with the drinks. Service: The baristas were extremely friendly and diligent on getting drinks swiftly made to order, while also being knowledgeable and helpful with questions on the menu. Wait time: Less than 10 minutes between ordering of food / drink and it being ready when going at 10am on a Sunday. Matcha: The Velvet matcha had a good matcha flavor without being overly sweet and a good balance between ice and actual drink. The matcha foam that goes on top is also not excessive while providing a more deep flavor profile that the actual drink lacks a little in. They do also have lids on a side table to allow for you to take your drink on the go with both a straw option and sip lid built into the same top. The matcha crepe cake was okay but did not really have a strong matcha taste to it and the crepes themselves were not very flavorful either. For Presidio Heights, Q Specialty Coffee is a solid tasting matcha with plenty of natural lighting and a great place to catch up with friends or colleagues while enjoying a beverage.

Sometimes you cannot tell the difference from Spring to Summer weather in San Francisco. There is no consistency when the sun will come out. When the sun comes out and Karl the Fog is on vacation people come out and look for something delicious and cold. There is one place you can enjoy a refreshing drink like matcha no matter the weather. It's located on Market street and Noe and it's called Oishii Matcha. On a sunny Market street stroll in San Francisco Don Juan de la Matcha landed at Oishii Matcha. Inside I scrolled and ordered using the kiosk. Since it was hot with the sun was out in the city I got the purple yam the Ube ice cream not on a cone but on a croffle ( part flakey croissant and waffle in SF). The Ube ice cream was not too sweet and was tasty and the croffle was soft and a bit crispy. I then had to wash it down with a refreshing Matcha Mango Latte with foam. The matcha was delicious and hit the spot . Now the only thing to consider next time is which nearby park spot I should hit to enjoy a Matcha. Will it be Dolores Park or Duboce Park or Noe & Beaver Community Garden ?( Questions in my Mind). Come get the real matcha and not the "phony"go to Oishii Matcha because it is organic ceremonial "only" so let's have a tea "ceremony" with Don Juan de La Matcha giving the true matcha "testimony" Fake matcha should be "unlawful" it is tasteless and the flavor is very "awful " at Oishii Matcha you can get the purple Ube ice cream on a "croffle" it's a cross between a flakey croissant and a "waffle"

Just a quiet marble table, a tiny vase with two yellow flowers, and a slice of matcha crepe cake that makes you forget what you were stressed about. I came in on a weekday afternoon and ordered the matcha crepe cake and a passion fruit refresher. The cake is the kind that looks almost too precise to eat. Dozens of paper thin layers stacked with the kind of patience most people reserve for things that actually matter. The matcha flavor is real, not the green tea powder imposter you get everywhere else. The drinks are thoughtful too. Not sweet for the sake of being sweet. You can tell someone actually tasted these before putting them on the menu. The space itself earns its own mention. Marble counters, natural light pouring in from the street, good music at a volume that lets you actually have a conversation. It feels like someone designed it for the experience, not the Instagram photo, which ironically makes it very photogenic. 4.7 stars on Yelp with nearly 300 reviews and I understand every single one of them.
