I'm very lucky to live in a city with such an abundance and diversity of neighborhood coffee shops. On any day, I can wake up and decide to go to a couple dozen or more places to sit and work (which I'm doing more and more of as I write my dissertation). I've been to Voluto a couple of times before, and my one major complaint before was that the hours were ~9-5 business hours. However, I stopped in this morning and actually writing this review from here now- the hours have expanded to 7pm, which is great. The coffee here is good- subtle, not very strong- and the tasty treats are good (except no bagels (!), which I love). I like the space a lot, right by Verde, one of the coolest new hip restaurants in the area, and windows cover the entire front side of the space. The decor is pretty minimalist/modern/industrialist, which is quite different from the typical homey, cozy, warm couchiness of most other local coffee shops. I like how they've carved out a new place and vibe here. And who can beat $1.25 for a cup of coffee with $.75 refills? I'm definitely staying for a while, and I will definitely stop in a few more times in the future.
