Golden Goat Coffee

You could easily walk by Golden Goat Coffee and miss it—the tiny coffee shop is tucked away in a SoMa alley. But once you wander up to the minimalist goat outlined on the window, you’ll be rewarded with some of the smoothest, strongest espresso drinks in town. Seasonal drinks are on deck, like ube lattes or an orange cinnamon cappuccino that tastes like gulping back a winter candle from Le Labo (in a good way). Or you can go for the eponymous Golden Goat latte with goat milk and turmeric. It’s an in-and-out operation, so take your espresso to the nearby South Park or swing by on your way to a high-rise downtown. Heads up: they’re closed weekends.
