Though I had heard only good things prior to this outing, I was a bit nervous about Voltage from the pictures I had seen: would the expansive, white, art-dotted walls make me feel like a noisy intruder in a sterile art exhibit? Nothing of the sort. Voltage Coffee & Art is more like a creativity studio with a subtly situated espresso bar serving meticulously made pour-overs and uniquely flavored lattes. The music was nice but not overpowering, the minimal colors and patterns were chicly simple, and the phrases I caught from conversations were young and intellectual. The scattered floor plan fostered sporadic people watching without losing concentration, giving the place an overall easy feel. Though personally I wouldn't go there with a stack of heavy reading, I highly recommend Voltage as a space to do research or work on a webpage.
