ABOUT US

Voltaire Coffee Roasters started with a passion for coffee and a love for its city. Located in the heart of Downtown San Jose, Voltaire has provided the highest grade of specialty coffee to help start the day for many in Silicon Valley. We pride ourselves in our commitment to quality, roasting our own beans in-house & sourcing them directly from fair-trade markets that work with local farmers.

The name, Voltaire, comes from the 18th century French philosopher and writer of the same name, who was well known for drinking up to 50 cups of coffee daily! While this figure may be exaggerated, Voltaire remains revered as one of history’s most famous coffee consumers to this day. He was a regular at the famous cafe Le Procope, the largest literary cafe in the world, where he enjoyed drinking coffee, eating chocolate, and engaging in various discussions from literature to politics. Here, coffee became more than just a drink, but a means to connect with others, develop new ideas, and deepen thinking. At Voltaire, we invite you to enjoy these same pleasures.
