Voyager Espresso
GO HERE: for one of New York’s best—and most unusually located— coffee shops. It's curiously tucked into the tunnels of the Fulton Street subway station. Everything Voyager does, it does with the utmost care—from outfitting the space with dual USB and AC outlets to actually caring about its non-coffee items (e.g., even the rare Alba cinnamon from Particle in Melbourne on the chai is deliberate). The multi-roaster program features beans from Portland's Heart and Vancouver's 49th Parallel (among others), fueling a downtown commuter crowd of devoted regulars.
ORDER THE: elegant filter brews and perfectly calibrated espresso drinks. If you're not much of a coffee-drinker, get excited about the looseleaf Prana chai (imported from Australia) and the silky almond-macadamia nut milk that's made in house. Whatever your beverage, the oatmeal with freshly steamed milk or an avocado toast on crunchy Bien Cuit sourdough far surpasses typical cafe pastry offerings.
THE VIBE IS: a lot warmer than the futuristic spaceship design might suggest. There's never a line, the staff is cheery but not overbearing, and the espresso drinks are served on marble slabs begging you to take it to stay. The small staff, led by Aaron Barnard, delivers Aussie hospitality to commuters and perch-sitters alike, all while bopping along to the newest Kaytranada and Little Dragon tracks and chatting about Carl Sagan.
PRACTICAL STUFF: Skip the maze-like route through the office building, and enter the subway station from the street entrance on John Street near William Street. Descend the stairs, pass by the newsstand hawking lotto tickets, and you'll find Voyager on your right. Voyager is open Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Text description provided by the architects. In early 2016, Voyager Espresso, a new specialty coffee bar, opened in a subway concourse of the Fulton Street station, in Manhattan’s Financial District. The architect, Only If, was commissioned by the Australian team of Owner Prudence Reid and Owner/Barista Aaron Barnard to develop an innovative architectural and interior design for its initial retail location in this unusual underground site.
Voyager Espresso, with its integration of an artistic and scientific approach to coffee, is a welcomed addition to the lagging food scene of the Financial District. Its rotating menu features seasonal, fresh crop coffees from the best roasters in the United States.
In contrast to the artisanal aesthetic of contemporary coffee culture, the coffee shop’s design and material palette refers to the namesake spacecraft and scientific approach behind Voyager Espresso. Adam Snow Frampton, Principal of Only If, commented: “From the beginning we knew we wanted to avoid the clichéd language of white tile, reclaimed wood, and exposed Edison bulbs.
The material palette we developed is inexpensive yet futuristic.” The walls are clad in oriented strand board (OSB), which is transformed through the application of aluminum enamel paint. Work surfaces consist of black marble countertop, which plays off the texture of the walls. Elsewhere, perforated aluminum, copper, and black rubber are used.
The design of the small space is based on the organization of two circles: one for service (the Barista Station) and another for seating (the Grotto). The Barista Station can be read as a positive volume, whereas the Grotto can be read as a negative volume excavated from the surrounding walls.
Practically, the layout consolidates the storage and back of house at the rear of the space, and maximizes visibility of Voyager Espresso along its glass storefront to the subway concourse. The layout creates a variety of different social settings for seating, from individual to collective, intimate to exposed.
The design team worked closely with the client to integrate custom coffee equipment and refine the ergonomics of coffee making and service.
Aaron Barnard, Owner of Voyager Espresso, commented: “The circular bar design allows for two baristas to work simultaneously and seamlessly through two points of sale. The barista does each transaction from start to finish. This helps to make the service more personable.” Through its unique design, Voyager Espresso is redefining coffee culture in New York.

This Astronaut Brought a Star Trek Uniform to the Final Frontier
"There's coffee in that nebula"... ehm, I mean... in that #Dragon . pic.twitter.com/9MYrqIOXnI
— Samantha Cristoforetti (@AstroSamantha) April 17, 2015
Trekkies will appreciate this recent tweet from an Italian astronaut aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
Samantha Cristoforetti donned the uniform from Star Trek: Voyager and tweeted “‘There’s coffee in that nebula’… ehm, I mean… in that #Dragon,” referring to last week’s launch of the Dragon spacecraft, which carried an espresso machine aptly named “ISSpresso,” among 4,300 pounds of other supplies.
The tweet has racked up nearly 6,500 retweets and 8,000 favorites since it was posted last week.
