Voyager Espresso

A very nice, well-hidden coffee shop in FiDi (easily the best one in the area), tucked into the underground subway entrance. The coffee is terrific, with a really flavorful espresso. Their espresso tonic easily stole the show, not just for the taste but also the presentation, with orange peels adding a nice touch.

Love, love, love their coffee!! It was like a maze to find this spot but it was all worth it! Came to try their cortados on the first day and came right back next day for cappuccinos! Simply amazing coffee! This goes straight up to the top of my coffee list in the city!

Best coffee in NYC! Have the Smokey Star Dreamsicle (Golden Record espresso shot touched with smoked vanilla & orange peel syrups, whole milk recommended), to stay, for the beautiful design in a cup and sparkling water chaser. The egg & avocado toast was also delicious, and most of all, the warm and friendly service!

this was a great find! right next to my school so i just came downstairs, a little harder to find. but you enter the building and then go down the stairs toward the subway. i got a smokey vanilla orange latte 10000/10, and a cortado to taste the espresso just by itself. both drinks came with sparkling water. will be back! a great chill place to read, they have outlets as well.

Haven't stopped by Voyager for a long while since I moved out of FiDi couple years ago. Stopoed by today on my way to a meeting and stopped by again after the meeting :) Espresso and single origin pour over specialty is still one of the best I have encountered in NYC. Full stop. People are as friendly as I remember. They are one of the reason I miss FiDi. Will be back more often.

What a journey into the Voyager Espresso coffee shop! This place is in a bizarre location but at the same time makes so much sense. All I can say is, my coffee was a 10/10. I don’t normally drink coffees with syrup (you’ll see from other reviews I’m just a flat white oat milk kinda gal) but I tried a coffee which had a smoked vanilla and orange syrup in it, and it was brilliant! The coffee had a strip of powder on the top which was a little salty, so really helped to balance the sweetness from the syrup. The service was great, with staff helping with recommendation and advising on how best to drink the coffee. Highly recommend. It is a small space but we managed to sit whilst sipping on our coffees.

The vibe was that of a place where the staff knew all their customers. The business was an expression of love by the owners. A regular customer gave me a suggestion for a seasonal drink. It did not disappoint. The owners does his own roasting which indicates his commitment to the coffee experience.

We had such an incredible experience at Voyager Espresso! We booked a tasting class, and it completely changed the way I think about coffee. William, the owner and instructor, was amazing, so knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. During the class, William walked us through every step of the process, from sourcing to brewing, and shared insights that made the whole experience eye-opening and inspiring. The class was fun, engaging, and left us with a deeper appreciation for what goes into a great cup of coffee. On top of that, their regular menu items are fantastic, some of the best coffee we’ve had in the city! When an issue came up and we had to reschedule, William was very communicative and kept me informed every step of the way. He was so accommodating, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I’d highly recommend Voyager Espresso to anyone, whether you’re a casual coffee drinker or a total coffee nerd, just stopping in for a quick cup on your way to work or looking to dive deep with their tasting experience. You’ll walk away impressed and excited to come back.

If I could give 10 stars, I would. Visiting the FIDI from CA, and found this place for GOOD coffee. Stopped in and ordered 2 drinks with my wife. The next day, when we came back (because we loved it so much), the gentleman making the coffee (I think the owner?). Remembered our drink orders from the previous day! This guy takes coffee seriously, and made our drinks with such care. I'm sad we live on the other side of the country from this spot. Do not skip this place if you like coffee!

This is a hidden gem. Literally! At the basement of 110 William St building by the exit of the subway on John St. (Currently under construction) you will find this cute little cafe. My coworkers have bragged about how good their coffee was. I came to try the burrata grape toast and it was absolutely delicious. With a layer of pesto sauce, nice chuck of burrata cheese and marinated pickled grapes in a thick toasted piece of bread. Sound weird but taste amazing. Love the service. Friendly, courteous and fast.

Industrial coffee shop in the metro downstairs. Friendly place with regulars. Has some bar seating and outlets for WFH. Also a tiny side nook for lounging

Was searching for coffee in the area online and decided to try this coffee shop because of the reviews. So the address says 110 William St. which is a corporate office building... this coffee shop is underground. There are two ways to get to it either go into the office building and on the right hand side you will see a staircase to the subway. The coffee shop is at the bottom. The other option is to access through the subway and exit through the William St exit. After finally managing to find the coffee shop, I was greeted by a very friendly barista. He was very helpful in explaining the different latte options as well as the source of the coffee. He suggested a Smoky Latte which had hints of an Orange Dreamsicle. It was amazing! The food looked good, but was not hungry. Definitely worth a visit! They have limited seating, but very cool vibes.

I definitely got a little lost trying to find this place but it was worth the search! It was a super friendly environment and a really cool interior. I do wish there was a little more seating but they did a lot with the minimal space they had. I really wanted the espresso tonic but it didn't look like they had it on the menu so I ordered my second choice - a cortado. This is the only place in NYC that I've found that provides seltzer water with their cortados and every sip was delicious! I will definitely be making my way back here.

Had the pleasure of taking a latte art workshop with William at the coffee shop. Firstly, learned so many cool tips and art tricks. The space is small but very cozy and def great for regulars. Def a hard spot to find if you've never been, but you have to go from the Fulton St 2,3 train subway entrance or thru the office bldg to the basement level. William was excellent and def has a passion for what he does and great knowledge as he is the sourcer, roaster, owner, chef, barista, social media guy...you get it. The class was just over 1.5 hrs and we learned the heart, tulip, and rosetta designs. We tried with him first then on our own. And to top it all off, we were able to drink our own art and his coffee is DELISH! We also tried the espresso tonic which has fresh orange peel and Fevertree tonic with espresso poured over ice. It was perfect! Never had anything like that before. Then we took off with the Dreamsicle latte and it was topped with candied orange dust and black lava salt. Flavored with his homemade syrups. The salt was a perfect finished to the sweeter latte flavor. All in all you need to go there! Do it you won't regret it!

Cool coffee shop hidden in the entrance to the subway. Very friendly people, nice little space, the espresso was done very well, love that it comes with a little glass of seltzer water as well.

Tucked away underground near one of the train stations, Voyager Espresso provides coffee for the commuters and working people of FiDi. Didn't expect the cafe to be so hidden. The staff are nice, and it wasn't busy when I came in the morning. Was in and out of there with a great cup of caffeine quickly.

It's kind of hidden cause you'll need to go into a subway stop to find it. It's pretty small but their coffee is good. A great place to stop by while on the way to 2/3 or A/C lines.

Best coffee in the the area! I highly recommend this place. The owner and the barista were very welcoming. What a great little gem tucked away by the train station. I will be definitely be back tomorrow!

Such a fancy little coffee shop to be hidden away in a subway station. Taking an office break to have your coffee and snack here, not to-go, is totally worth it since the presentation is a real treat. Plus it all tastes great. Iced Latte: I felt like I was running an experiment with Mr. Wizard. The espresso came in a little glass bottle with a little cork. The sweetened milk and ice in a huge beaker. And some mineral water in a double paned glass on the side. It's DIY in the sense that you pour in the espresso and mix it all together. Not heavily involved, but the ritual of it all feels cool. Plus tastes very refreshing. Burrata Grape Toast: Who needs Avocado Toast or Almond Butter Toast when you can have a massive amount of mushy burrata cheese on toast? The generous amount of cheese alone would be enough for me, but the other stuff actually made for a great pairing. There was some kale pesto which had a nice herbal contrast and thankfully tasted more like pesto than like kale. The grapes were unlike any grapes I've ever had. They were sliced thin and tasted quick pickled so their inherent sweetness was mellowed with a delicious vinegary tone. Such a great combination of flavors.

Man what a great experience here. Spoke with the dude behind the counter for like 20 min about Aeropress, Flair 58, grind size, water temp, bean roasting and processing, you name it. I apologized for talking his ear off and he told me not to worry, he loves to discuss the nuances of coffee. True passion. A coffee shop for coffee heads - for the r/espresso folks on Reddit. For the Aeromatic app users. BUT was so nice to everyone who came in and while we talked made a pour over, an iced coffee drink and a plain drip with 4 Splendas for the other folks who walked in. Everyone treated with respect and served fast. I got two espressos, Ethiopian (light roast I think) and house blend (light-medium). Both amazing. Also for a bag of beans to go. Anerobic fermentation. Looking forward to getting into those tomorrow in the AM. Tip top spot, great coffee and quality humans. Will be back.

A true hidden gem that blew my expectations out of the water! In typical weekday morning fashion I was looking for a place that had both craft coffee and something to nibble on like avocado toast. My first attempt at finding this place on a map was unsuccessful because I hadn't realized it is actually underground in the Fulton Street station! There are a few pathways to finding it, mainly by accessing the John Street subway entrance, or by going through the revolving doors of the building on William Street, then heading downstairs. A kind security guard helped us navigate when we entered the building and before we knew it we found ourselves in the subway station! Very unexpected and almost secretive, like the coffee version of a speakeasy--they truly did take us on a voyage :') Their menu is pretty compact but I like how they offer a range of menu items like classic espresso and pourover drinks, fresh-made food, pastries, and of course signature espresso drinks (my personal fav). The space inside is quite cramped with one table and a few bar stools; it could seat maybe 8 people total but I think that's apt considering I'm sure most of their clientele are busy commuters. That said, on a Friday mid-morning it wasn't too busy. The employees taking and making our orders were so friendly and struck up conversation with us. Our barista kindly explained to me their signature drinks: Their lavender latte uses a housemade lavender syrup; the Space Oatly is a hazelnut and oat milk coffee; and the cafe miel is a light roast latte with honey. These types of unique concoctions are right up my alley! I opted for the lavender latte which was excellent. It had an incredible layer of crema and the lavender flavor was so good (I've been scarred in the past by coffeeshops that pump half a cup of Torani syrup in one drink). It was maybe a tad too sweet but I certainly need some sweetness so I would request it half sweet next time. My boyfriend who had a regular latte also enjoyed! Our group also got all three toasts to share: the Classic Avocado with a drizzle of olive oil; the Mango Avocado with what I believe is szechaun-style chili oil (I felt the numbing!!); and the Burrata Grape. All three were fantastic. My favorite was the Burrata Grape, which was equally creamy, garlicky, savory, with a tad of sweetness from the marinated grapes--scrumptious! I can't wait to go back and have this again. I was also pleasantly surprised by the relative affordability. The coffees were only around $5-6 and the toasts $7-8 each. The portions of the toasts are quite huge as well. Effectively one whole toast had me really full, so I think sharing one would be sufficient for a light breakfast. Do not sleep on Voyager Coffee just because it's a bit tucked away--it is worth the trek! Delicious food and coffee in a humble environment but with high-quality products. The storefront may seem a little random but the baristas know what they're doing. The best coffee I've tried in NYC so far!

The espresso is good. Service is awesome, a vey chill place to stay and enjoy my coffee

It's been awhile since I felt that an overpriced coffee in NY was worth the money. This place is such a hidden gem; it's underground and so it might be hard to find, but once you find it you'll never forget where it is. The people who run this place are so friendly and nice. The owner(?) who made my coffee asked me about my preferences and he made a special drink for me with honey, and I absolutely loved it! He really knows what to pair with the type of coffee they have and was so good at explaining as well. I came here to do some work cuz I saw that they offered free wifi, which worked extremely well, and I loved hearing other customers coming in and conversing with the staff here; seems like they are really good at building and maintaining relationships with the people who know this hidden gem! Loved the aesthetics and everything, just wish there was a bathroom nearby (will have to go out and go to a nearby store or restaurant). Will definitely tell my friends about this place and come back to try their other drinks (:

Perfect and simple avocado toast. Delicious, expertly roasted coffee. Kind service. A great grab & go experience!

Amazing! I saw the staff (I believe they are the owners?) interacting with customers in such a soulful way. The entire cafe is space themed so very interesting. The way it is tucked into the subway station makes it so unique. I already grabbed iced coffee elsewhere, but would have happily gotten it here if I had known. I got the rhubarb scone ($4 + tax). It was great and I had such a good time here.

hidden gem coffee shop in the subway station that's served delicious, warm, hearty lattes. We opted for the almond milk latte and coconut milk latte, both served with a side of sparkling water. The coffee itself is definitely better than your standard latte and it was overall a really nice and friendly atmosphere!

The Owner was very helpful when I was lost looking for the place. It's in the subway haha, the coffee is precise, freshly roasted and a tiny corner that's just about the coffee. 10/10

Located underground in the subway station - this coffee shop is an absolute hidden gem! Cute, small shop with seating, outlets, and wifi. The owners were very friendly and lovely to chat with as well. I got the iced lavender latte and matcha latte which was perfect for me. Not too sweet and well blended (not powdery). I have also tried their regular latte (iced and hot) and enjoyed those. I will be back!

I've lived in the Financial District since 2002 and even though there are many options for coffee, Voyager is by far the best. The barista is extraordinarily talented. His drinks are creative and absolutely delicious. Love the Smoky Star Dreamsicle and the Space Oatly lattes. The food is really good too. They're so nice in that place, they always make you feel at home. And wow, amen to the avocado toast! A++

This was Voyager Espresso, in the tunnel to the ACE train in Fidi. I decided to treat myself to a cafe au lait and ham and cheese croissant after working out and it was delicious. The honey in the latte was impeccable and the croissant, toasted, was Chefs Kiss

Been coming here for a bit because of its proximity to my workplace. I love their espresso, I'm a fan of nutty espressos and I feel like that's not commonly found. Also been a fan of their toasts, it's always delicious, tastes fresh, and made with well curated quality flavors! Customer service is always great too, even when the owners are slammed with orders, they make it a point to greet you and are warm each time. So happy to have a spot I love for my work mornings~

This place is open while construction is ongoing outside! The John Street is entrance is closed but you can go through the lobby of 110 Williams Street and take the stairs to the subway entrance. Their Iced Latte is perfect for a hot summer day.

Very cozy environment and good light. Food is tasty and coffee is soooo good! I like here and will definitely come back.

Lovely cafe, friendly service and great tasting coffee. I haven't tried any food items yet, but the menu looks inviting so I'll give it a shot soon. Will definitely return!

Wow I LOVE this place! Who would've expected such a cool coffee shop in the subway station? Came here to do some work Thursday morning at 8:30 and there're already 6 customers enjoying their coffee. They have a corner area with a table and seats, and several high top seats. I ordered the specialty space oatly with hazelnut syrup and oat milk and it was delicious! Also got a feta spinach tomato croissant pastry that was tasty. Super affordable too for a $6 latte and $4 pastry. I love how everything came on a tray and they were thoughtful enough to provide sparkling water! I tried the cheddar chive biscuit another day for $3.5 but didn't love it as much as it was a bit dry. My favorite thing about this place though is how welcoming and personable the owners are. You could clearly tell that the owners knew all their regular customers and kept up to date on their lives. Will definitely return!

Hard to find at first but another review shared the instructions! Basically go into the office building turn right and go down the stairs towards subway. It's a cute little underground coffee shop!!! Really strong coffee, they had an espresso tonic which can be hard to find and it was one of the best I've had. Really nice customer service too. They were very sweet! I'm glad I didn't give up on trying to find it!

Just it's a treat like going to a luxury spa in a coffee house ! The lavender coffee is a must and the bureaus grape toast! So good I just can't put in words .

Love this place always very welcoming, and the lavender coffee is great. You can always expect to have a great conversation with the customers.

Amazing underground coffee experience. Love their unique coffee flavors and food selection. The vibe is also great, especially when you decide to dine in. The staff is super friendly and down to earth, check them out!

Great spot tucked away in the subway entrance. Had iced coffee and iced oat latte. Quick and delicious

Holy amazing. Stopped here based on yelp recs and future lattes are now forever and ever ruined. The smoked creamsicle (smoked vanilla and orange) latte was such absolute perfection. I will dream of this latte forever. (Also the staff was so lovely and toasts were fantastic.) 10/10+++

I was able to sample their coffee at a farmers market in Asbury Park, NJ. The first thing I noticed were all the Fellow products they use! We got an almond milk latte and a cold brew with oat milk. The cold brew was a little weak, but the latte was strong and just enough sweet. Service was also friendly, from what it seems like was a family. Even the kid had a good handling on the pour overs!

The first place I stopped during a trip to New York and my only regret is that it set a high bar for overall expectations.

Was pleasantly surprised. Saw there were a few bad reviews but they were from ages ago and likely different owners. Would have given it a 4.5 be abuse the baristas were so nice, but I went with a 4. Oat milk latte was nicely prepared and I got a waffle. Only thing that would have made the waffle better was getting it freshly made, but that's kind of next level and this is really a grab and go place. Entrance is a bit hard to find, you enter the building and go to the subway entrance then go downstairs.

This place rocks! Coffee is superb.. Much better than Starbucks. You must try the mango avocado toast!! Photo here....

They roast their own coffee beans. One location. Unassuming. Thought it would be on street level, but had to ask the security guard who directed me to go down a set of stairs and turn left. It's actually located underground along a path to the subway. Opened now for 3 years, it's popular amongst Yelpers. Locals' favorites: Sliced Egg Toast and Avocado Toast ($6/$9.50 for 1 or 2 slices). The slice is thick. I got the Yoghurt-Granola- Mixed Berries for my post workout treat. They have 3 choices for brewed coffee: French Press (dark roast), Colombian (medium roast), and I forget the name of the light roast. He let me try all 3 in separate glass cups. He was patient. Then I inquired about their expressions--also 3 to choose from: 1. Guatemalan, 2. Columbian, and 3. French. I am sipping the Guatemalan americano and it has chocolate undertones. Yummy! I did try the samples they had out this morning by the register: 1. Peanut Butter Arugula Toast and 2. Sliced Egg Toast. Enjoyed them both.m, but the Egg one was my fav between the two. Good stream of people coming through mid-morning. There is a hideout small lounge area good for 6 people. I saw an outlet there as well. Free WiFi. They do not rush. They bring the food to you.

Absolute gem of a place! Excellent service as always by the duo (whom I believe are the owners)! The kind of establishment you want to keep going to, for the quality of drink, food, service and just a touch of a scavenger hunt to locate to make it interesting. There's a little alcove with a chess set, if so inclined. Very welcoming for locals and visitors alike! Burrata toast and lavender lattes are my usual. Super recommend!

Tucked underground, down the Williams St. entrance to the 2/3 train, this place serves the best coffee in New York City. And I mean that -- unlike the bespoke Brooklyn roasters that open only at odd hours, this place serves up drool-worthy Geisha, Pink bourbon and single origin coffees right along your commute! Far out!

Located just down the subway steps. Immaculate vibes and really great coffee. 5 stars.

This place is back in business! Will was my barista this morning. I ordered Lavender Latte because I never saw it anywhere else near by me. He told me where my coffee beans came from but I forgot. The latte tastes rlly good. I am drinking it currently

Voyager is my go-to place for coffee. It's like coming home to folks that are always happy to see you, go out of their way to make you feel comfortable, make your experience the best, and most importantly, live for coffee. It's never a miss, never dull, and always fun!

While it may go unnoticed due to location it so makes up for! I passed a few times headed to the 2/3 line and noticed Voyager was always busy. Popped in for a great cold brew and have been loyal since! Their pastries are also super fresh and yummy! The same two people are always there (assume they are the owners) and are soo incredibly lovely. I think I went twice before they had my order memorized. All around a great spot I really recommend!

I'm in my happy place right now. Voyager coffee allows you to complete escape from the hustle and bustle of the financial district... in the least expected place of all. At the Fulton St subway station! It's basically a sauna in NYC right now (mid August) so I opted for an iced coffee. The barista even gave me a free coffee tasting so I could choose! I tried the Barundi, Colombian, and the dark roast. They were all sooo good but I personally liked Colombian the best. I'm a big fan of the presentation here. The metal straw, mini water cup, coffee beaker, the tray... I love it all. They even make their own almond, macadamia nut, and date milk. Soooo good. Definitely try this. Overall, amazing coffee, service, interior, and presentation. Can't wait to be back many many more times :)

Best coffee I ever had ! Thank you. It was smooth without texture. It had an awesome after taste !

Such a cool spot! Just a quick stop-off in the subway entrance at William Street. Super friendly staff who took such care for a single, house-blend coffee! Delicious and smooth blend as well! I also LOVE the theme, original and super fun! Definitely put this place on your destination list when you're in the FiDi!

Voyager Espresso is the epitome of a hidden gem. This intimate cafe is located underground, beneath an office building in the financial district, and, most importantly, serves killer coffee. I had a single-origin Ethiopian light roast pour over, and the round, bright flavor profile was exactly what I needed on a chilly afternoon. What made the experience truly special was the friendliness of the baristas. They were eager to share some coffee made from new Columbian beans they had roasted a day prior, and we had a great time discussing the flavor profile. Needless to say, I will definitely be back for another afternoon pick-me-up!

Best coffee ever! I work in the neighborhood, and this is definitely the best coffee shop around. They serve your coffee on a cute little tray with a glass is sparkling water. The owners are super friendly, and I love that I'm supporting a small business run by incredibly hard-working and kind people. I'm always welcomed with a smile. Their avocado toast is delicious too, and honestly the coffee is really good. Even my almond milk latte is thick with thick foam on top. Yum!
