Cool little coffee roaster in downtown SJ near the convention center. Friendly staff and good coffee. Bagel sandwich was good. Cool atmosphere, had a real artsy and moody feel to it. Quite a few people on laptops getting work done.

Wow. I will be back to buy their beans. My God that was an excellent cup of coffee. Got the Ethiopian pourover and it was extracted _perfectly_. Lemon-y, citrus, sweet flavours with a more tea-like body, but still great mouthfeel. I enjoyed it so much. The location is a bit small. It's got the coffee shop vibes but might not be the best for staying and working. Great spot for a quick grab and go though! Love this spot, would highly recommend!

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.

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! On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being best… Food - 9 Location - 9 Service - 10 Atmosphere - 9 Value - 9 Overall - 9

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.

Great coffee and quick service!! What did we order ☕? - Flat White - Cappuccino - Hot Chocolate Their coffee is just amazing—a perfect start to the day. The service was quick, and it wasn't that busy on Friday morning. Things to improve: make the coffee more warm. But apart from that everything was perfect. My friends liked it so much that they ordered 2nd cup of coffee. *Images of drinks and menu attached Hit 👍 if it was helpful ®️MillionDollarTravelling

I got the Nutella iced coffee with oat milk, it was so good. Best coffee in the Bay Area! The drink was quickly made, didn’t have to wait long.

The Voltaire Coffee Shop— loveliest coffee shop on South Market in San Jose’s downtown! The avocado toast was incredible, and the iced matcha latte topped with foam was absolutely amazing. A perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great cup of coffee. ❤️

This is one of the most consistently great coffee and one of my favorites. My favorite flavor is the organic coconut oil latte. Reminds me of lattes I get in Hawaii when I'm there. The environment is clean and newly remodeled. Staff is friendly and welcoming. My only problem is parking can be a challenge. Once that hurdle has been cleared, in my humble opinion. It is worth it. I really enjoy when I go to order my coffee and it is a bean roasting day. It smells so good. I would highly recommend Voltaire Coffee Roasters if you are in the downtown San Jose area.
