Voltaire Coffee Roasters

Top shop at San Hose! Yes the way coffee is done over here is with respect to the bean. You know the coffee will be great when each cup preparation is made with measured beans freshly ground each time. The aromas and flavors stay true and every sip delights your senses. Considering that it is in downtown, the space is done classy and is very inviting.

For those of you that don't understand why you would ever want to Strike Twice, how Voltaire helps with that, or what any of this has to do with coffee or tea, I'll explain.

First, if you're going to strike while the iron is hot (as they say to do), why NOT Strike Twice? Two is better than one. Dorinthea loves seeing two counters on her Dawnblade, so why would you be of the same mind?

Second, Voltaire enables you to Strike Twice with as few as two resources. It's hard to say what that means in today's economy, inflation and all, but finding a Crazy Brew to help you Go Again or give you that +1 pump is a wonderful thing. Last, how does this apply to caffeine? How DOESN'T it apply?

The Nutella drink iced didn’t really taste like Nutella, just like a basic mocha. Still yummy but not what I expected. The place is cute and isn’t packed at all. There are always 1-2 seats open. Great WiFi but no outlets. Come with a full charge!

I decided to try out this coffee shop over the one in the Marriott where I was staying over the July 4th long weekend. I ordered a Flat White. I was expecting a vibrant, piping hot coffee with a bold flavor. Instead the coffee was less than hot and lacked the flavor characteristic of a Flat White.

For that reason I conferred a two star on what otherwise is a nice cozy shop with comfortable seating and mellifluous jazz in the background. At day’s end it is the coffee that matters. The rest is all nice to have

This place is well hidden and never gets crowded. Their coffee is very authentic! Their drip coffee and Spanish latte are excellent choices. They also offer bagel sandwiches!

A local business coffee house that could accommodate large group for about 40 people. It is a good place to have breakfast with the hot or cold drink. For the food options, they provide variant of bagels, whereas for the drink, they provide coffee, milk, chocolate, tea, and fresh fruit sparkler.

If you want to enjoy the food and drink while looking to the street view, you could also sit on the chair exactly behind the glass window. They also have some seating at the outdoor area.

Here are what we tried :

Lox Bagel (USD 8.50)
The bagel with white sesame and filled with smoked rare salmon, cream cheese, tomato, and sliced red onions. The salmon is fresh and has a good taste.

Hot Almond Milk (USD 3.00)
As an almond fan, almond milk is one of my favorite drink. However, this almond milk is far from my expectation. It tastes so plain without sugar. Well, I guess next time I have to ask to add on the sugar.

A latte lover's paradise! The flavors and latte art are the best in the city, easily - and they're constantly rotating in fresh tastes to try. You won't want to miss the rose latte! 🌹☕😉

Great place to have breakfast, we were about 30 people and we all got served very quickly. Definitely coming back.

Every time I come to San Jose I have to come here. Sometimes three times in a day. Great coffee. My friend loves their tea. The staff is always really friendly.

A proper cup of coffee in the valley. Cosy and friendly with a relaxed vibe. The cheese bagel was prepared well.
