Received damaged box with coffee, did my review here, owner called and was very angry about my review. I removed negative review and owner said that he processed my refund.
12 days and no refund. Terrible company, DO NOT ORDER from them. I lost my money it okay but BE AWARE!!! THERE IS NO CUSTOMER SERVICE AT ALL ..
Not recommend to anyone to order from this bad company.

UPDATE!!!
Owner emailed me and said because I did Google review he will not do anything. But 12 days ago he sent me refund notification on ny email. All it means he lied to me and no refund was processed.

PLEASE BE AWARE

I stopped by this morning to pick up a couple of hot beverages and pastries.
1. The menu is vague.
2. No pricing for anything except one weird specialty drink.
3. High prices; small cups; lukewarm drinks
4. There’s a reason pricing for pastries are not listed…
5. Paid full price for stale pastries.
6. Service was meh; I was the only one ordering at the time. felt like I disrupted a lot of nothing with service.
7. I miss Starbucks (ex Target) as I would’ve saved 1/3 and received, well you know, better everything.

I gave our neighborhood coffee shop a chance and felt like I was robbed of time, money, and even the tip I gave before I experienced what will be easily forgettable.

We tried a special drink "Wired Gandhi" which is the chai latte with expresso shot. It was interestingly good. It was a bit too sweet to my taste but the expresso shot absolutely play a part to balance the sweetness out. I love the factory vibe and yet relaxing atmosphere of this coffee place. Would love to come back to try other coffee drinks as well.

Solid caffe latte with just the right combination of espresso notes, milk and crema. I love places that roast their own beans and enjoyed viewing the roaster on site while breathing in the rich aromas of roasted coffee beans. Service was average though the barista did share he was a highly satisfied regular patron before taking the job. That’s always a good sign. What makes this establishment special is a secluded courtyard in the back that allows one to bask in the sun while enjoying private space - right in the heart of busy, industrial SoMa district. Chart a course to Sextant and your sails will be filled.

A bit uncoordinated, but decent coffee. Seems like early in the morning is not the best time for everyone. The menu wasn't completely updated (lots of items were shown to be out of stock when they weren't) and the pourover was missing!

Got a drip coffee though, and it was ok. A bit void of flavour minus a sharp acidity. Hopefully the beans I bought will be better.

Highly rated for a reason. Great coffee and great service. We really enjoyed the organic food options. Indoor space is very nice with lots of room to sit and work. The patio outside is very nice as well.

Solid coffee with great gluten free pastries!

I recently hosted an event and I bought a large container of coffee. Their service was super fast and they had it ready in 15 min.

They have a variety of Asian flavored desserts as well as the usually croissants and cookies. They also have a few gluten free options, I recommend the banana walnut cookie
