Voyager Espresso
110 William Street (basement), New York, NY 10038
Editor's Review
A blessing for Financial District office-dwellers and destination coffee seekers both, this surprisingly situated space-age-bachelor-styled espresso bar is easily New York's best coffee shop located in a basement subway corridor. If you can make your way there from the maze of Fulton Center – or worst case, the street – you'll be rewarded with espresso and filter coffees from a monthly rotation of elite roasters, breakfast smoothies and toasts (when available), and a highly curated treat selection from the likes of Bien Cuit, One Girl, and Vanessa's Patisserie, all offered with much lovelier customer service than you may be accustomed to in a passageway to the MTA, where somehow plants stay alive underground. Alternative milk here is a housemade almond/macadamia "mylk".
Feel free to stay awhile in the small circular lounge, or rest and recharge (literally—USB and standard outlets abound) for a moment with your thoughtfully prepared coffee. Minimal retail tends to include things like commuter mugs and rare Australian spices, as well as whole bean from whatever far-flung roaster is on feature that season. This is one of New York's most odd, interesting, and delicious coffee spaces. Closed weekends.
