Voltaire Coffee Roasters

Delicious lattes and cold brew coffee. The staff was very friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating. They even gave me a free cookie that was delicious.

I REALLY wanted to love this place! So close to the Westin if you are staying there.
Walked in and liked the decor etc....The drinks was good but not fabulous!

Here is why this place gets such a low rating.

They advertise baked goods and snacks...No such things were there!

Then at 3:50 (they close at 5) the barista came over and took my beverage cup (which was not empty) and asked if I wanted another beverage...She stated we are starting to close down the espresso machine for the end of the day.

WHAT?! you close down over an HOUR before you close?
NOPE!

Cozy shop with decent coffee and food. Street parking.

What a great coffee shop in downtown SJ! They validate for parking if you spend over $6 in one transaction -- just ask for validation when you pay. I got a latte and a liege waffle, which was delicious! Nice sugar crust and dense interior.

Check out this coffeehouse. This is awesome! Nice place, great selection and really the best taste!

I had a Nutella late. Not only was it exceptional, but the staff there is great.

Prices are good.

If you are at the convention center, go out a back door, cross market and go here.

Prop a door open so you don't need to walk all the way back around the front 😀

Probably my favorite coffee place in downtown SJ so far! They offer unique roasts, they're helpful, and the location is convenient for me to get to on foot. They sell beans by the pound, but it can get pricey (I paid almost $20 for a 1/2 lb o.O) so ask about prices if you're budget conscious.

I lived near this place for a year and visited almost daily. I loved their coffee and swore by their bagels. Incredible food and most importantly, an outstanding, professional and vibrant staff.

Small, cute place. Not busy when I arrived. I cannot say enough about the good service from nice girl that made my espresso and Americano. Immediately greeted me. No line or wait, but I can honestly say I've never seen someone work so quickly before. She has quite the fire in her! My espresso was out with complementary sparkling water in under 3 minutes. Delicious! And very soon to follow came one of the best americanos I've ever had. She even managed to make a bit of small talk while doing this all. All this while some fun poppy instrumental music played over great sounding floor standing speakers in the corner. It reminded me of Django Reinhardt or something like that. All around, excellent experience. Highly recommend for ambience, staff/service, and high quality of product.

Been here twice in the past 3 weeks. The Nutella latte is awesome but very sweet. The mocha was above average but I wish I would have ordered another Nutella Latte. Prices are high but worth it considering the location. I'll be back.
