Voltaire Coffee Roasters

Things started out wonderfully, I asked for an Expresso shot with sparkling water on the side. Server that helped me out said that they had Espresso with Tonic water, I asked what was the difference. She explained that it was the same as sparkling water but goes along better with Expresso.

First off, they mix it together. I am used to it being on the side or asked if I want it mixed. The problem was that the Tonic water they use has sugar in it. It's not like other Tonic waters and definitely not similar to the sparkling water I requested originally.

I informed the server that since I am fasting I don't want sugar and would just like to buy a bottle of sparkling water and get a shot of espresso. She charged me for another shot and the sparkling water. When I asked if the charge for the shot was a mistake, she said no. I informed her that I just paid for a shot and did not receive what I thought I would, her reply was that she will charge me again since I want a shot with sparkling water.

I don't expect anything free but feel like they should have either better explained the difference between the sparkling water and their Tonic water or take care of the additional espresso shot.

The most important thing in business is to take care of your customers, treat your customers the way they want to be treated. They definitely lost a customer.

I wish I could give them a 5 star review. I went here three times while in San Jose for a wedding. The first two times were great, but the third time that I ordered a pour over coffee, the barista added water directly to the pot after brewing the coffee (as in not through the beans). I'm sorry, but I didn't pay $6 to have water added to my cup of coffee. If it wasn't for the other two times that I went in, I probably would have rated them a 2.

Drip coffee wasn't for me. (over roasted and/or over extracted?)

Cute little spot in downtown San Jose. The coffee they make here is unique and tastes lovely!
I highly suggest trying out the Viennese Coffee (lightly sweet, with whipped cream), order it for in house. And they're Breakfast Bagel on an Everything Bagel hits the spot!
If you are a lover of coffee, coffee shops, and good music, I highly recommend coming here. And it doesn't seem to be too busy in the mornings between 6-9am. I'm definitely coming back!!

This place always had the best coffee, probably because they roast their own beans right in the store. food is great as well. Never really been a fan of avacado, but I definitely like their avacado and egg crostini. Staff is always helpful.

I’ve only had lattes and espresso here and found them to be thoughtfully made. It is rather expensive to pay $5 for a plain latte (which only comes in one size which is somewhere between a tall and a grande at Starbucks for reference). The space is super warm and cozy and staff are very friendly.

I come here 4 days a week. Not only is their coffee great (I recommend the Spanish Latte) but the staff is always super friendly and accommodating. They have a wide range of choices and even offer fresh in-house grounds. On top of that, the WiFi is great and I can work for hours without any interruptions. Go here!

Excellent mocha latte! I also enjoyed their chocolate croissant as well as their ham, egg, and cheese breakfast bagel. Their prices are higher than I would typically expect to pay which is the only reason for a 4 star instead of a 5 star rating.

Clean, quiet, open space with nice background music for ambiance.

Great service, and the Avocado Crostini was excellent!

Rude, online ordering offline, called to place an order and refused service.

I will find another coffee shop to take an order!
