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.
There aren't many places near me that serve a good pour over, and I repeatedly come here for their quality roasts and service! Being on Market St in DTSJ the sit-down atmosphere is as good as it gets for sidewalk seating overlooking a busy street surrounded by high-rise hotels. It's more of a grab and go place for coffee, which is what most of us cone in for anyway ☕️🏃♂️👍
Drip coffee wasn't for me. (over roasted and/or over extracted?)
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. 🥰
A decent flat white. Not too exciting but solid.
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.
Excellent pour over coffee. Just what I’m looking for in a coffee shop.
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
Loved my morning at Voltaire! Kind baristas/owner, clearly care about the quality of their coffee and want to keep delivering top notch coffee/food to their patrons. Stop by one morning if you're in the area.
Wow!! Amazing. Friendliest staff & owner treated me with such kindness!! Best Coffee in town. Highly recommend.
Upscale coffee shop with a very small selection of pastry options and a few unique drinks
I was in town for the week for a convention and they made a perfectly well balanced mocha each and every time. Because of how well they build their drinks it can take time. Be careful if you do not have time to wait, but it's well worth it.
Super friendly staff. Relaxing music. Quiet. Great place to study. Tea and coffee were great too. This Cafe changed my mind about San Jose.
Bought an Espresso shot this morning it was one of the best tasting shots ever!
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?
This is the place to go for some high octane brew when you need a boost. Cute place to sit and work too if you have a sudden spark of genius!
Decent little place that the first time made me want to go-again, so I brought a +1. #fabtcg
Rude, online ordering offline, called to place an order and refused service. I will find another coffee shop to take an order!
Amidst the espresso options downtown the modest Voltaire establishment easily rises to the top. The cappuccino is the very best I've tasted, from a medium roast that's a little more bold than fruity, happily bucking the trend that's overtaken so many other espresso establishments in recent years. Voltaire stands apart in one other important way: it may be the last remaining cafe where one can enjoy a drink without the house music blasting and overwhelming the experience.
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.
