came back to try osmanthus and matcha latte, both are great & even more flavorful with some sugar imo! osmanthus isn't particularly floral/nutty, but it has a really good taste since it has a lot of depth. read more

interesting concept. they're only open to the public on Tuesdays and Fridays, while the rest of the week is reserved for members. tried two of their signature drinks: the Volcano and the Fluffy. one thing I noticed was that the drinks were served cold without ice, which meant they didn't get diluted over time. great if you like a stronger coffee flavor, but it definitely packs more of a punch than your typical iced drink. there were a few seats available when we arrived, but they filled up pretty quickly. there's also some outdoor seating if you can snag a spot. overall, a cool cafe with a unique setup and solid drinks, especially if you prefer your coffee on the stronger side. read more

Voca Coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Fremont, California

Super cute and high quality coffee shop. I ordered the volcano and iced honey vanilla latte. The volcano was a new experience for me, so correct me if I'm wrong, but you sip the coffee without mixing. The coffee is iced but does not contain any ice cubs, as the milk is chilled. The iced honey vanilla latte was also good, strong coffee flavor and not super sweet. It takes a while for drinks to come out but that was expected as I read the reviews before coming here, and it is a nice to relax and slow down while waiting for your coffee. It a small space but they have a big table in the back where some people work. I would definitely try this place at least once! read more

Voca Coffee - volcano and iced honey vanilla latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Fremont, California

If you're looking for a super cute Japanesque style cafe, look no further. Voca Coffee is trendy, clean, and they even play soothing jazz music. I stopped by after seeing the picture-perfect Volcano coffee. I prefer cold beverages, so was pleasantly surprised to find that it is actually a chilled coffee. I was also expecting a bit of a wait from reading prior reviews, but it actually came out pretty quickly. Make sure you grab something to mix the drink with after you take your pictures! Fortunately, the Volcano is as good as it looks. I didn't even need to add any additional sugar or anything; you can tell that they have perfected the ratios. There's free wifi that's easy to connect to and parking was ample. It is a small shop so I can see how one could struggle with finding seating if it was fully occupied. I do wish they had more open hours/days to the public. Right now, most days are only open to those with memberships. Additionally, their pastry/food selection is very limited. I'm eager to try the other drinks on their menu! read more

I may not understand coffee enough to give this place a rating worthy of its quality. I ordered their premium loose-leaf tea, which was solid, and sat down to work for an afternoon. It's a beautiful space that feels more like a lounge than a café, and the staff is really friendly. My fiancé ordered a latte that he really enjoyed. I also overheard a few other customers asking one of the staff about tasting notes for the coffee, and loved hearing her enthusiastic response (even though I didn't understand anything about it, LOL). This place actually makes me want to understand coffee better so I can better evaluate it, but for now just have my rating of the silly little tea that I ordered. Note that on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, they are only open to members (I didn't even know that coffee shops could have memberships), so if you want to stop by without a membership you'll have to come on Tuesday or Friday! I just happened to get lucky that I planned to come on a Friday. read more

Voca Coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Fremont, California

I think this place is one if not the most underrated spot for coffee in the Bay Area that serves solid coffee comparable to SoCal. They roast their own beans and have drinks that truly bring out the qualities of good beans without being overly burnt and acidic which many notable chains do If you're familiar with the likes of Kaizen in San Mateo then you'll likely want to check out this spot as well since they really have a nice decor, quality coffee to match but the main caveat is that their hours are quite limited with extra hours for members (who are given greater access to their coffee beans) I won't complain though because quality coffee while it shouldn't be gate kept is not necessarily, it seems like a fairly small family/friend run(?) shop where it's only two people who really were happy to explain the difference in tasting notes for the coffee beans I can say they really put in effort to hand craft each drink to their utmost perfection which adds more to your experience. They also really curate their drinks to heavily use the aspect of beans in mind including having a tiramisu bite essentially and volcano glasses to help offset the heat from the hand changing the temp of a latte I would highly recommend anybody check this unknown gem and ask questions if you have any. They provide sample jars to smell the flavors of the roasted beans and really seem to enjoy people who are interested in learning more. It seems like the members access is really for those who want quality beans source for more commercial purposes so find they balance an art of consumer and larger customers read more

This is a nice spot for coffee, but can be somewhat pricey. The coffee comes in beautiful mugs and decor (see that goblet my latte came in) but I think it was upwards of $7. The ladies at the counter are very friendly and very helpful. I am not sure why their hours are so random but are only open some days of the week. read more

Voca Coffee - Sea salt caramel latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Fremont, California

Boutique coffee shop tucked away in Warm Springs This is a very elevated and intimate tea time/cafe spot. The workers (there are only two) take care to perfect each drink--this is not an experience to be rushed. The energy was kind and peaceful, I don't remember the cafe having any music. Fresh cut flowers are arranged beautifully throughout the shop. I felt like I was worlds away from little Fremont, whisked away to the whimsies of Le Marais in Paris. It was a splurge for an iced sea salt caramel latte, but this is the kind of cafe you'll want to spend an entire afternoon admiring anyways, perhaps with a book or a friend. It's a small space--this won't work for big groups. Keep it cute and take a walk along the pond near the back--lots of cute ducks to look at while you sip your drink. Very romantic! read more

Located in the middle of what looks like old office buildings is Voca Coffee. A nice little cozy coffee shop. A very cool ambience. It is a smaller space but the service here makes me feel like a million bucks. The baristas know their coffee here, understands the coffee flavor profile. They care about each cup of coffee they craft and brew here. The yogurt blueberry muffin was also pretty good, I don't think I had anything like it but it was just the right amount of sweet and the texture was pleasant for being yogurt based. But this cafe is definitely worth checking out. Support your small businesses people. Come here for good coffee and the ambience! read more

Hidden in the office area, it's a small quaint space. The atmosphere is cute but you cannot just drop in for a quick to go coffee. The wait time for each item is very long. They have a very small menu. Out of the 3 tea items they did have, they only had 2 of them. It seems to take a very long time to make each drink item. Limited snacks too. They are only open twice a week very limited timing too. We got the volcano coffee and eye nourishing tea since they were out of the yunnan loose leaf tea. They were both ok. The plating for the tea didn't match anything, the tea cups had bunnies on them lol. From the pictures you can see the volcano coffee isn't consistent either. Not sure if we will come back soon. Maybe in a year! read more

For the coffee lovers out there make the time to visit the place. Small coffee shop in Fremont. Limited hours that are open to the public Tuesday and Friday. The other days you need to sign up for subscription. Beautiful and simple set up and it is nice place to hangout either to read or bring a friend to enjoy the ambience. Would probably come back to try more of the different coffees and there is coffee flight that you could try out. Service is wonderful and they are helpful and nice. Once they grind the coffee they actually have you smell the grounded beans. I highly recommend to try it out especially if you love coffee. The tiramisu is small and well made dessert. You could taste the different layers and the flavors were well made. Bathroom is clean has a nice fancy mirror that can change the lighting and automated soap dispenser. Highly recommended to try the place out. read more

This cute, cozy coffee shop is where you need to be for your slow morning routines - it's definitely not your typical "coffee run" where you can just quickly order your drink to-go but a place where you can really just sit down, relax and enjoy your coffee. Most of their items are made for you to order with the intention of customers staying to enjoy the quality/taste of it. From walking in to sitting down, it literally felt like a "safe space" to be and I feel that's what separates this chain from other coffee shops. read more

Found Voca Coffee during Fremont Restaurant Week and was not disappointed. They're certainly a small business - the most accurate representation of them I can provide is if two or three of my 阿姨s suddenly developed a proficiency in Japandi interior design and decided to open a coffee shop down the street. Hours are limited - open Tuesday and Friday from 9-1:30 and 9-4 respectively, and parking can be tough considering their location in a little business complex. Don't come here expecting anything to be done fast, and I mean that in a 95% positive manner. The atmosphere is incredibly relaxed, with customers lounging or chatting or doing work at the main table in the back, and the consistent but unhurried crafting of drinks behind the order counter. Our drinks were brought to us and actually explained, which was a treat in itself, and we talked a little bit with one of the owner/managers about the coffee classes they regularly host. However, my friend's drink came almost half an hour after mine did (which arrived within 10 minutes of ordering), which accounts for the other 5%. With such few staff, it definitely isn't unexpected to have drinks slip under the radar, but it did cause a some confusion especially seeing the drinks of people who had ordered way after us being delivered to the table. The volcano in its trademark glass was pulled very well and not sweet at all, which I actually preferred as I could enjoy the flavor of the coffee itself. My friend's affogato was fairly standard with vanilla bean ice cream, and another friend's kumquat crush was tangy and refreshing (albeit on the pricier side). I would not mind coming back with the hopes that some of the kinks have been worked out to relax or even for a course. See you next time! read more

If you're into clean, calming spaces with a design aesthetic that feels like a deep exhale, this place nails it. The Japandi vibe is impeccable! Minimalist but warm, with thoughtful details that make you want to linger. Every surface is spotless, every piece of furniture feels intentional, and the natural light makes your latte practically photogenic. The coffee here is not just "coffee"--they source really interesting beans with unique flavor profiles you don't see every day. If you care about aesthetics and substance, this is one of those rare places that delivers both flawlessly. A new favorite spot. read more

Purchased some pour overs for a corp. event, and the med-dark roast samplers were well received by the recipients. They have kettles too, but we'd already sourced some nicer ones. Probably best to preorder in advance, although the staff were kind enough to let me know when the "drops" were, and I managed to get the quantity we needed last minute. I got myself a drink as a treat. I'm no coffee expert, but it did taste delicious. The store has a surprising amount of sunlight, and natural feeling decor. I heard that service is slow, but it didn't feel particularly slow when I was there. Price is maybe a bit high, but not unexpected at a boutique store. I cannot work remotely at this location, but I would have loved to do so. It was quite busy on the public days I went (despite seemingly being in the middle of some industrial area) so the "membership" (essentially just prepaid store credit) benefit may be worth it for someone who is a regular anyway. read more

Decent coffee, but an absolute operational mess. Coffee was good and aesthetically pleasing. Due to operational problems, we only got to try the latte, which was good. Not necessarily worth the headache we went through to get it, but if these problems are ironed out, I'd wouldn't be opposed to paying $6.50 for another latte. Also, I appreciate Wen's dedication to her business. I see her responding to every review. Hopefully some of these points can help Voca improve. I think it has a lot of potential! 1) Cashier lady was lacking in competency. She was slow, didn't know the menu, didn't communicate well, and just generally meandered around getting in people's way. There were dishes to bus, tables to wipe, coffee to serve, and a line out the door. Yet she didn't seem concerned and took her sweet time typing slowly on the iPad. My advice: train her better or hire someone else. 2) Better communication. Several times, I noticed orders being prepared incorrectly. They would make an americano, just for the customer to say they ordered an iced americano or they would make a latte to realize the customer ordered an oat latte. Then, more often than not, after a drink is made, they would walk around looking for the customer, further slowing things down. These are all solveable problems. 3) Simplify the menu. Too many items on the menu just exacerbates communication problems and slows things down as people ponder what to get. Especially for restaurant week, I'd simplify the menu from 8 offerings to 4 and skip the time-intensives drinks like pour overs. 4) Keep dirty dishes away from unserved drinks and food. I couldn't help but notice dirty dishes piling up next to unserved tiramisu and drinks (photos included). This is a health violation and risks cross-contamination. Please take care to never do this again. 5) Nit: The latte cups, while unique, are right-hand biased. For left-handed customers, they are very awkward to use. This isn't a big deal, but first impressions matter and attention to details matter. I assume these are growing pains that will improve with time, so I am giving them the benefit of the doubt and giving 4 stars, for what would otherwise be a 2-star experience. read more

first of all the place is so pretty and cozy. i really like the design style, if i didn't live like spongebob on steroids i would design my house like that. the drinks are great, i only tried the honey latte but it was really smooth. the blend they used that day ran a bit acidic which is what i like. you can change the blend when you order! also great service. knocking a star off because pastries fell short, the tiramisu was frozen i think so it tasted really weird. the muffin was too dense and not fluffy, i saw on the menu they used yogurt which is probably why it turned out that way. however drinks are a slay. i will come back on another voca-tion hehe read more

I have come a handful of times and I really do enjoy the coffee. Wen is lovely to speak with and very knowledgeable. I noted that when she makes the drink, she definitely has a better pull of espresso. I generally prefer hot drinks but I really do enjoy the Volcano a cold latte, since there is no ice the flavor is full and you can taste the different flavor nuances. Highly recommend this place ^_^ read more

A very hole-in-the-wall coffee shop, and so glad that I got a chance to try it! Their drinks are made fresh, and very well made. Perfect amount of coffee to milk. If you're in a rush to get coffee, I recommend going somewhere else, since they really take their time in making sure your coffee is made perfectly. The presentation of our drinks and tiramisu was so nice! The ambience is nice if you want to meet up for a coffee date or to study. Highly recommend this place if you can go when they're open! read more

Luke warm coffee... very expensive. Wouldn't return back sadly. At 7 bucks I'd rather go elsewhere

You can tell they really care about perfecting their coffee and the staff is super friendly. The environment is very peaceful :)

I was looking forward to trying this place, because it has limited hours and because Fremont doesn't have much coffee shops. I ended up going during Fremont restaurant week at around noon. Upon entering, the shop is aesthetically pleasing and very clean. I ordered the Volcano that is priced at $8. Waiting for my order, this place is good if you want to read or have a small coffee chat with someone. But after 20-30 minutes have passed, I still haven't gotten my coffee. From here, this where I knew this place is only good if you have an hour to spend and kill time to wait for coffee. In the end, I was very disappointed. I waited patiently for almost half an hour , and wasn't served at all. The shop wasn't busy too. I ended up walking out seeing that nothing will change I will not be spending $8 on coffee to not be served. Truly disappointed to hope for good coffee in this area, only to not get any service read more
