Crema's Take

Voltaire Coffee Roasters is a hidden gem in downtown San Jose where espresso excellence meets creative signature drinks like their standout Nutella iced coffee and perfectly balanced Spanish Latte. The team moves with impressive speed despite their compact seating, and they're clearly passionate about both traditional coffee craft and playful specialty creations that go beyond the usual café offerings. If you're after distinctive, flavorful beans and drinks made with care rather than shortcuts, this spot punches well above its weight in the Bay Area coffee scene.

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.

Visitor looking for a coffee and sweet breakfast. First of all, the churro waffle is simply a hotel waffle maker quality waffle with cinnamon and sugar sprinkled haphazardly on some parts. $10 is actually insane, but this is downtown San Jose I guess. The barista handed me a lukewarm cup of coffee which was clearly hours old. I asked for a fresh cup and they said it would be a bit, which is fine by me since I am hanging out anyway. Waffle came, got cold, I ate some, got colder, I asked about the coffee, got the brush off, then they finally brought it out and I enjoyed my half of a cold hotel waffle and mediocre but hot coffee. Appreciate the music and atmosphere. The staff seem super nice, but it was a fail for me. Won't go back. They failed to deliver on a basic cup of coffee and a very basic piece of food.

We bought a Spanisjh Latte and Matcha Latte,both were made to order and delicious! They Spanish Latte was sweet though not too sweet . Their service was prompt. The area to sit is small.

Coffee was excellent, however i came here primarily for a late breakfast only to discover they changed their menu over 6 month ago. I was disappointed that all the reviews and pictures show delicious avocado toast with a poached egg 🍳. It does not exist here anymore. 😢 Highly Recommended (5 stars) for coffee. But 2 stars for late breakfast options.

Voltaire Coffee is a hidden gem in downtown San Jose, offering some of the best coffee I’ve had in a while. The coffee beans truly stand out with a distinct flavor that hits differently in the best way. I tried the double shot vanilla latte and the caramel latte, both were excellent and crafted to perfection. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, whether you choose to sit indoors or enjoy the outdoor seating. The latte art is impressive and adds a personal touch to the experience. The service is equally delightful, making the whole visit a hit. If you’re in San Jose and looking for a small, charming coffee spot with great vibes and even better coffee, Voltaire is definitely worth a visit!
