Compton's
9 people recommendvia r/AskSF, r/sanfrancisco9 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Compton's recommendations span its San Francisco cafes, including a visitor who favors Fillmore. An earl grey latte made with house-made syrup is singled out, and another drinker enjoys the range of lattes. A vanilla-latte recommendation specifically names North Beach rather than Fillmore. One person who had black coffee from Compton's or another shop finds much local coffee unremarkable, without identifying which cup prompted that view.
