    Had been wanting to try the specialty matcha for quite sometime and happened to be in the area for the Fillmore Jazz Festival and seized the opportunity. The offering was a raspberry based iced matcha so I was curious to try. Overall the matcha was good but I would have preferred to have more raspberry fruit chucks instead of the puree version. Service was fast given the number of people in the area for the festival with minimal seating available as it's primarily a grab and go place.

    Iced vanilla oat latte
    Elisa L.

    Came on a Saturday around 11:15 am and they were quite busy so my drink took around 10 mins. I ordered an iced vanilla oat latte and though it was a good strength and sweetness, something about the flavor tasted off to me, like an artificial taste. Decent price and size.

    Cardamom rose black tea latte

    I ordered the: Cardamom Rose Black Tea Latte Lavender Iced Latte Rose honey Iced latte The cardamom rose black tea latte was my favorite drink from their menu so far and it was strong and flavorful. Lavender Iced latte I loved their lavender syrup(house made) Rose honey iced latte, I didn't mind it but the rose wasn't strong enough in the iced drink

    Iced raspberry matcha latte

    I decided to stop by and order an iced raspberry matcha latte, which was $7 before tip. It was done within 2 minutes, and the raspberry part was very sweet and fruity. The matcha itself is decently strong too but make sure you mix it if you want the flavor to be even throughout, or alternately you could drink it from the top to gradually go from a strong matcha flavor down to a dairy and sweet finish at the bottom. Overall I thought it was pretty good, just wish it was not as pricey!

    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.

    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

    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.

    Earl grey latte

    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

    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!

    Raspberry Matcha

    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.

    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.

    Flat whites with pretty latte art & strong espresso!
    Ivonnie S.

    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.

    Maple Cinnamon Latte
    Anchal A.

    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 :)

On the days we have gone, the line has varied from being out the door to a quick walk in and order - truly just depends. Regardless of the long line, these drinks are soooo good. Upon entering the coffee shop, you'll see a good amount of seating, but for the times we have gone, the majority of the seats are taken. It is definitely a variety of people socializing, working, reading books, or just hanging out. Parking is metered or street parking, and we haven't had any issue finding parking! It's also in an area where you can shop around (across the street) if you want to grab a bite as well. Our go to orders include the Mocha Dream Espresso Cloud and the Nitro Mango, but we have also gotten the Hojicha Cloud, which is amazing as well. We love the thickness and flavors of the cold foams - you cannot go wrong with any of the cloud drinks. As popular as this place has become, it truly is worth the trip! We will always make a trip whenever we are in the city!

Staff was kind and patient with explaining drinks, especially since this location is newer. I got the caramel latte cloud espresso and was very pleasantly surprised!!! I usually get specialty drinks half sweet, but forgot this time - the caramel latte cloud espresso was actually just right without adjusting the sweetness. The cold foam on top was light and delicious. They only had one size and it was pretty big. The applewood bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on brioche bread was also amazing. Very savory, not too heavy either. It was mostly just bread though. Definitely coming back to try their other drinks when I'm in the area!

They explained that the flight includes an espresso shot, espresso shot with milk, hot coffee, and iced coffee. I hadn't had a straight espresso shot before, so this wasn't for me personally just because it was so overpowering. I enjoyed the other three though. Like the majority of SF, parking is difficult to locate. I was dropped off nearby the location. There is indoor and outdoor seating; I was able to grab an empty spot late in the morning on a weekend, but I don't think seating is always readily available. It's not a huge space.

It seems like there's also an upstairs but did not get the chance to check it out. I got an iced latte with their almond macadamia milk, and they're also so nice to do complimentary cold brew! So we got an extra drink for free. Trying the iced latte, it was pretty disappointing lol. I thought it would be similar to like a Hawaiian style latte with macadamia milk, but it was a lot lighter than I thought. It was definitely very nutty, but it also just tasted like water down latte. Honestly not much going on with the drink, but it does taste lighter in general. Crazy have to pay $1.50 more to add on this milk. Overall, its alright. I do like the natural lighting coming into the shop, but nothing too special.
