We needed fast breakfast and a pick me up for the last day of Fanime, which is the Memorial Day…read moreMonday, so a lot of other businesses were not open or were not open that early yet, but we saw Voltaire Coffee Roasters on our way to the con. They had some Fanime specials for the con (katsu and egg salad sandwiches, spam musubi), seasonal drinks, of course coffees and teas, and non caffeinated drinks, as well as some food too (heated up pastries, both sweet and savory). There's a restroom with a code and a couple seats and tables with outlets to charge your devices. Service was welcoming and efficient especially after the crowds started to pick up. I got the: 1) Egg Salad Sando: -You can tell these were handmade in store. They had cute washi tape to hold the packaging together. -Solid egg salad sandwich. Slightly sweet white bread and generous amount of egg salad inside the sandwich. Creamy mayo taste that isn't too sour or tart, lots of egg in it. Perfect for an anime con next door. 2) Cappuccino: -I got this no sugar and sugar free and it came out with some pretty latte art. I thought it was mostly ok and boyfriend thought so too, but after several sips and when it was too late since we really had to get to the con, it just became too disgustingly sweet for him and he had to throw it away. 3) Yuzu Fresh Fruit Sparkler: -Yuzu puree with sparkling soda water. -Refreshing and not bad, but even after mixing this was a bit sweeter than what I would have liked and again, in our rush to leave, we couldn't really get this adjusted. I ended up pouring most of it in a water bottle to enjoy later and put in my bag. But ended up not finishing it in the end. Maybe next year I'll try again or just stick to the food stuffs.

They had a good selection of fun and different drinks and the AAron and matcha horchata drink is what we got and both not overly sweet and so good! For food, we got the green eggs and ham sandwich and it was so filling and good that I could only eat half! Altogether a solid spot for breakfast food and drinks and would definitely come back!

This coffee shop is a 5 min walk from Cal-Train! So convenient if you're in a rush!…read more I love the different esthetics coffee shops give, and this one had a very friendly cozy environment. I'm on my coffee journey! I wouldn't consider myself an expert, but for what is its worth I thought my match horchata was very good I'm on the hunt for good coffee shops and this one made my time there very memorable. I got a postcard of the coffee I purchased and it made my experience one of a kind! (Only complaint is when I order the woman who took it didn't give me the postcard I saw that the person in front of me get it for free with her coffee purchase so I asked and she gave it to me. I would say maybe consistency with that would be nice. Other then that I absolutely loved them) Check them out

I've been to this coffee shop I have full of times over the years and apparently I've never written…read morea review! Lol oops!! I remember when they had their other coffee shop down the way from the Alameda. I actually like that location better just because it was more of a homey environment, and I love how it was an old Victorian house where you walked up the stairs! So comforting warming feeling! This one looks like it used to be kind of a warehouse with very open spacious areas, but ample area for work if you can do digital work at a coffee house. Lol. The barista is working, seem to do their work rather quickly, but no small talk or anything. Maybe they had a long morning? The whole place was packed with customers hanging out and doing their own digital work as I was picking up 2 cups of coffee and checking out their Pastory scene. I got an ice red velvet latte which I've only seen at Bitter+ Sweet in Cupertino!! I also got a blended iced coffee drink! That was incredibly icy and smooth and totally hit the spot!! I will definitely come back here again since I didn't know they had breakfast options. I literally only came for coffee and a pastry today so I wish I knew about their breakfast beforehand. Lol I always got their coffee and then would go down the street to Cafe Roselinda for delicious breakfast burritos. Lol I love going to small little coffee shops that our family owned just like this one! They totally have a different vibe and I love their community board!! I will definitely be back!!

Crema is a staple in midtown San Jose. They used to be located a few blocks further down the…read moreAlameda, but have since expanded to a bigger, more comfortable venue. The coffee and tea is great here! I really enjoy their london fog, and their cold brew is better than average. Ambiance is fantastic for a coffee shop, with lots of seating options (single table, bar stools/counter and communal table seating, low volume music conducive to good conversation. Service is relatively fast to bring out the orders, but is self serve for the most part. Your order is called for you to pick up at the counter and with a self busing area in the back after you are done. Food is hit or miss. The pastries are for the most part good. The breakfast sandwich unfortunately was not so much the case. The eggs inside felt like they had been pre-fried and then microwaved. They were tough and chewy which made the cheese and egg breakfast sandwich inedible. The bagel was good, but the chewy eggs ruined it for me. I would still stop by for a good cup of joe or tea when in the area. It's a great place to meet friends and colleagues for informal work meetings too. Skip on the food menu, focus on the drinks.

Really lovely little coffee shop that leans into that industrial warehouse vibe in the best way…read more The coffee was great--I ended up trying both on-tap cold brews on the day we went because I didn't realize that buying a bag of whole bean coffee came with a free coffee drink. With some coffees a second cup will give me a stomach ache (especially since I drink my cold brews black and bitter like my soul), but I had no problems with their cold brews! I also got the vegan stonefruit scone (baked by Sweet Dragon) and while a little on the dry side (common with scones), paired extremely well with the coffee and had good flavor. Husband got a cappuccino and a strawberry mini pie and was extremely pleased with his order. The service is friendly, but some things may have been new on the day we went. They almost forgot my cold brew until we asked at the counter, as well as stating that they didn't have anything to heat up my husband's strawberry pie (which seems odd, since a little toaster oven seems like a simple fix for that), but apparently it was fantastic at room temperature anyway. Seating was absolutely full when we got there and we were lucky to snag a table as another couple left, so it seems like a popular Saturday morning spot. Several folks were working on laptops, and it seems like a kid-friendly place. The decor is a clean and modern/trendy industrial style, which works well for the space, and the windows provide nice daylight. Overall, a good coffee shop and I am really happy to see vegan pastry options! My husband is getting into pinball, which was part of the motivation to come out and try Chromatic, so I am sure we'll be back again next time he wants to hit up Slingshot (in the same building), and I look forward to the coffee and treats!

The seating area is quite limited for the large crowd it attracts, making the atmosphere inside feel a bit chaotic at peak times. Fortunately, the baristas are super polite and work fast, keeping the long lines moving efficiently. The coffee menu and the retail bean selection are both impressive. I decided to try a dulce de leche coffee. While I was expecting a strong caramel profile of dulce de leche, the flavor turned out to be fairly subtle rather than prominent. It added a significant sweetness, but without knowing the order beforehand, identifying the exact flavor would have been tough. That said, the coffee itself was still refreshing The high quality of the coffee bean really shone through, delivering a rich aroma and the ideal caffeine kick for a breezy morning. Great coffee beans and fast service make it worth dropping in, even if the indoor seating situation is a bit tight.

You would need to look for the pizza shop if you want to park close and then look for the water fountain to find the shop! The wide variety of their menu and unique flavors compared to other coffee shops is so refreshing to see. To be able to try new flavors your not used to and them making it taste great! I fell in love with the modern dark ambiance they have inside, not too flashy. I also love the exclusivity vibes it gives as it is not very busy as your local starbucks of course. I had their iced dulce de coco and my brother had the iced mayan mocha ! I love how they do actually have more than 1 size of a cup for you to choose from, small - medium - large. They do have plenty of outdoor seating perfect for this upcoming warm season.

However, the drink I ordered wasn't my style. I ordered a banana matcha crema latte. I was hoping to have oat milk, but they didn't have any. I think this drink could be pretty good with some modifications. The matcha foam was quite tasty, but the drink tasted very artificial due to the Torani banana syrup and it was pretty sweet. Maybe next time I will just try a regular matcha latte because they hand-whisk. They are pet-friendly!

I highly recommend that one before it goes away!!! Service is so sweet and friendly. It's a one man (woman) band so it may take a minute to make your drinks but it's definitely worth it!!

They have a great location near San Pedro Square. We found parking in a garage about a block away and the first 90 minutes is free, so you don't have to stress about paying for parking just to grab some coffee. They have a kiosk to order outside but you can also order inside at the counter. The Guava Matcha latte is off of their signature menu and it did not disappoint! Very generous amount of guava but it wasn't overpowering and I could still taste that quality matcha tea. Mix it before enjoying to get the full flavor profile!

The lemon drizzle added a good zesty flavor profile. - border bagel: a hefty and delicious bagel! The eggs were so soft with a crunchy bagel.
