What people say, in short
Golden Goat in SoMa draws recommendations for espresso, lattes and a changing selection of beans from other roasters. Two visitors call it a favorite, and one regular particularly enjoys the flavored cappuccinos and espresso drinks. A visitor describes very limited seating, making it more of a quick coffee stop than somewhere to count on lingering. One drinker finds the goat-milk latte distinctive but not to their taste.
