Voltaire Coffee Roasters

What a great place for a cup of coffee and a early morning snack/breakfast. We came across this place when we were looking for a breakfast place while staying at the Hilton San Jose and it was a gem of a find.

I ordered the Avocado and Egg Crostini and hot cup of Latte - both were delightful. The food was presented well with a generous serving of avocado (which is rare). The paprika on top added a nice touch to it and woke up the dish! My friend ordered the fresh fruit guava sparkler and said it was also great!

Service was quick, efficient and with a smile. when we requested that they add the pesto to the sandwich after we had ordered and paid for our meal, they happily obliged. Quiet place, good location and highly recommended!

This cozy coffee spot in downtown San Jose near the Sofa district has a lot going for it. It has both indoor and outdoor seating, an eclectic but fun style inside, and it is easy to relax and work on occasion in this place. When I'm able, I like to sit in the little table by the entrance next to an interesting tree art display, it feels almost like a little private booth.

Their pastries are very nice, I always enjoy their coffee cake or banana bread- there's something about them which appeal to me and I look forward to enjoying when I come by here. For a drink, they have some very nice options which I alternate between - a Nutella Mocha, a Viennoise, or their pour-overs are my preferred options.

They have some great lunch options as well, I like their avocado and egg crostini, which is basically a toast of the same name - and delicious too. They also have various freshly pulped carbonated fruit drinks, sort of like a spritzer without the alcohol. They are delicious and taste very fresh.

The baristas are always very industrious, friendly, and eager to serve. Overall a nice place to add to your coffee routine.

little cute cafe with good coffee
avo egg toast was good (but nothing spectacular, cause this is hard to differentiate)
waffle wasn’t the best imo - a bit sweet and thick to me
there are 3-4 tables inside and 2 outside.

Just a decent cafe shop. It's downtown so finding parking is a huge hassle. I had a number of food items, including espresso, latte, hot chocolate, hot chocolate with oat milk, Lox sandwich and the avocado toast. Food was good. They need more desserts, they didn't have the chocolate croissants when I was there /:

Amazing coffee. It really hits the earthy coffee soul when you drink it. Food was a lot better than expected for a coffee shop. It was delicious.

Small cafeteria with a small menu but every item on it that I have tried is very good and quality>quantity

My favorite cafeteria in San Jose by far

Small coffee shop and roaster located in the heart of San Jose. Big points for the taste of coffee, friendliness of the staff, the free cookie (awesome), and offering freshly roasted coffee beans! Only improvement suggested could be more transparency about the coffee roasting (i.e. putting roast dates on the bags for sale, and strength of roast Medium/Dark, et) - for those of us that are unnecessarily picky about coffee beans. :p

[The Coffee]
The coffee here is great. We got espresso and a cafe latte. What I noticed immediately is that this shop puts heavy emphasis on the quality of the coffee. The flavor here was off the charts. We ordered the drinks without any sugar so we could focus on the taste of the coffee, and we were super impressed! 10/10 for the coffee!

We normally buy bags of fresh roasted coffee from the shops in the Bay Area and found this shop via Google. As I noted above, the only improvement could be a little more transparency about the coffee roasting dates and strength. It would help those of us that are picky and too shy to ask the staff!

[The Location]
The vibe here is really nice. Younger staff that seems pretty knowledgable about the coffee, the roasting process, and the coffee offered. I really enjoyed visiting this shop. It's in a neat little location. Parking can be difficult but there is a parking lot nearby for 7$. If it's a quick trip, just park anywhere and have someone watch the car when the ticket writer comes!

I walked into the store by chance. The staff there is so friendly, the bean he recommended to me was awesome! Will definitely come back. 🥰

Decent little place that the first time made me want to go-again, so I brought a +1. #fabtcg

Great spot across the street from the convention center. I’m so glad it’s here because it’s great. I plan to visit the next two mornings that I’m here as well.

For starters, it’s super cute and laid back. It has a very welcoming vibe and the baristas are very friendly.

The espresso drinks are all one size which is the way it should be. I ordered two cappuccinos to go, and they did not disappoint. In fact, their cappuccino was better than the one I had from a spot around the block the day before.

So glad I found this place. If I lived here, I’d for sure be a regular.

Update: I was here for three days and came back every day. It was great every time. My second and third visits I got to sit and drink my cappuccino and noticed that they played French music in the background. I really enjoyed this aspect. It was such a nice touch.
