Sextant, Soma

What people say, in short
Sextant's recommendations cover San Francisco locations on Folsom and around Third and Howard. A visitor specifically praises a pour over at Folsom and Tenth, while another describes the Third-and-Howard location as quiet and naturally lit. That description should not be assumed to apply to the Folsom room. One coffee drinker finds the roasting too dark for their taste.
