Great coffee, some tables to sit and do some work on computer during coffee …

The best, no wonder they are so busy and the flow of people is constant! I don’t go to coffee shops often and was so consumed by a variety of drinks that I forgot to ask for vegan milk! I was waiting when line is going to disappear and people were coming and coming! I went to the back where are ready drinks get distributed and told about my mistake - a guy offered to make a new one without a blink of an eye, on a crazy busy Sunday morning - this is so sweet and kind, definitely made my day! Their multi-layered Kouign-amann is delicious and a perfect sized - to feel full and not overeat! Matcha is not sweetened but they can sweeten it for you, or you can sweeten it yourself which what I did using their station on the right. To sum up, delicious drinks, welcoming kind superstar staff, LGBTG friendly, vegan friendly (please add at least one plant-based pastry). Limited seating though, definitely have seen people working but I would guess you need to come early if you want to reserve a table, definitely RECOMMEND! They have 3-4 tables outside but SF weather is not always great, if you don’t mind then it’s a win for you!

Excellent, smooth coffee! Have been here twice and each time the service was super friendly, fast, and felt very welcoming. I had an oat flat white each time and both times it was smooth and strong. Sat outside and got to enjoy a little music, too!

Very cute coffee store. Have limited indoor and outdoor seats. Super dog friendly. We ordered Amaricano and Ice Latte, and both taste very well. This place does get busy on the weekend, so be prepared for waiting in line.

I tried the lavender latte, and it was absolutely delightful! The rich coffee paired perfectly with the subtle floral notes, making for a truly enjoyable drink. Not only was the latte fantastic, but the service was also top-notch. I highly recommend giving it a try!

We were in the neighborhood and looking for coffee. We were pleasantly surprised by this cute little cafe. We got the cappucino and the Flat White, both were really good! There was decent amount of seating inside and outside but it was fairly crowded even though we went around closing time.

Nice little coffee joint with fast and friendly service. I tried their capacinno, and it is among the best I had. Place is tiny, so it is hard to find a place to sit inside. They have some limited seating outside, which is also always occupied. Overall, it's a good spot to sit and soak up san francisco vibes! Place has one restroom, but usually, there is a line during rush hour.

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.

Unique coffee shop that attracts regular customers as well as visitors to the Fillmore Street area. This place was well worth the long walk from my hotel on Van Ness Avenue. Erica provided friendly and helpful service when ordering as there were several coffee and tea options that I was not familiar with the names. I ended up with a cardamom rose latte and was fully satisfied with the choice. The place is somewhat cramped, with limited inside seating, but that is to be expected in San Francisco, and there are tables outside on the sidewalk. Compton's offers a positive experience and alternative to the chain coffee and tea bars.

I've tried the latte and flat white here. Both times, my drink 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. There's some seating inside and outside. The staff we interacted with were all lovely. I wish I lived closer to Compton's so I could go more often!
