The Alchemist

Yay!!! I'm super excited about the location of this place! Since I moved in the neighborhood I have always said a coffee shop would be fantastic here. Now I loved WestFork Whiskey but they weren't open until 4 or 5 so all day the building wasn't open to the public.Upon walking in it was packed and bustling. Some people sitting at the bar working, just sitting and enjoying their phones, others conducting work business. At the tables, several looked like they were having a team meeting or organizing something. There is plenty of space, tables, couches, chairs and then of course the bar area. There were 3 people ordering ahead of me and that process did take time. From walking in until I got my drink I'd say it was about 15 minutes or so. I wasn't in a rush so it was fine but if you want to just run in on the way to work, I would suggest leaving a tad bit early. They also have pastries if you need a bite. Pricing is pretty standard for a coffee shop so no concerns there. Again, super excited to have this spot in the neighborhood because in the late afternoon it turns into a cocktail bar. I haven't been yet so can't speak to it but looking forward to going.Welcome to Kennedy King Alchemist!

They did a great job transforming what used to be a whiskey production facility into The Alchemist. The front bar is still there, and the back area is now a cozy and comfortable space. The place is low-key without being too intimate or cramped.My first visit was for coffee, and now The Alchemist is ready with their cocktails program. Their most popular drinks are their specialty lattes. There is a variety of seasonal flavors to choose from. Their cocktails menu looks solid, with a number of classics and signature drinks.I happened to chat with the owners during my last visit. Once it warms up there are plans to host weekly events such as live music and trivia. There is a garage door that opens to the sidewalk, and some outdoor seating will be available.

First off,I absolutely love the hat they did with the former West Fork Whiskey space. I was very curious to see what they were going to do. It's very cozy and airy and open. I was happy to see they had a golden latte as one of the non-caffeinated options. Sadly, it was not good. And the most expensive golden latte I've seen in the city. Womp. It was literally milk and turmeric. No sweetener, no cinnamon, ginger, clove. Just bland and overpriced. Love the vibes and service was great though

Went for cocktails on Saturday when they had a DJ! It was a moody environment with low lights and good music. The staff was attentive but gave us time to order, which I really liked. They also let us know when the time came that they wouldn't be doing table service anymore and we'd have to order and pay up at the bar. It was courteous and I really liked that they took the time to tell each table individually. As for the cocktails:The espresso martini ($15) was very good - something a coffee and cocktail spot should nail and they absolutely did. The other drink we got was the Yama No Yuki ($15), which was whiskey, yuzu, pandan syrup and a bit of matcha. I expected it to be really vibrant and tart yet earthy and balanced because of the ingredients but it wasn't all that flavorful or memorable. I got an Army & Navy ($13) after that and it was delicious. I forgot to take a photo, but it was perfectly strong, tart, sweet, and frothy. A classic drink that they got right. I also have to mention that a friend got the O.F. Martini and loved it - it had passion fruit so it was pretty tropical and came with a spoonful of boba! It was an experience to say the least! My last note because I'm picky, but also a very unnecessary detail: I wish their menu was on a smaller paper? It would have seemed more up scale. I'm excited to try the rest of their menu soon!

Had never been here until today and fell in love immediately. The space is surprisingly spacious with lots of great tables for doing work from home. my cappuccino was perfectly made, not too sweet. excited to come back here for work!

I came here over the weekend and was sad to see they were closed as I been wanting to try the new coffee shop! So I finally came today and they were opened. They close at 2 so plan accordingly. Def wish they stayed opened longer. When I walked in it was really pretty and the bar top decor was phenomenal. I felt at peace there and the sunlight was beautiful inside. I did not try any food but the skinny vanilla latte with latte art was fun! The service was okay. Nothing special about it I think it was just a quiet morning for everyone as they don't greet you or say thank you etc but I enjoyed my time and will be back. ProsBeautiful Location Soft music Cons Cold Customer service was just okay

I was waiting to try Alchemist and I was pleasantly surprised when I drove into what seemed like a suburb area. It's a nice cosy location. The ambience is great and pretty good to work at. My Americano tasted great and I asked for orange oil which my barista willingly added giving such a good citrusy flavor. We spent a good 2 hours working and the customer inflow was decent. Didn't feel too rushed or chaotic. Definitely a keeper!

Another great experience at the alchemist! Coffee remains elite - the Italian shortbread latte was so good and a tad sweet, which is my preference. Plenty of space to work and/or chat. Hope to make this a regular stop!

This was our first visit to the Alchemist. We loved how much extra room they have and plenty of seating. It has a relaxed laid back feel and everyone there was so nice. We went for cocktails and were not disappointed. The espresso martini was fantastic. We will be back and we will bring friends!

Stopped by and had their gingerbread nitro, and it is super unique. Definitely tasted the gingerbread flavor with a hint of what I think was orange. I couldn't help but think while drinking it that this would be the perfect base for a take on an espresso martini.The place is pretty new, so there's not a lot to it yet, but with the quality of the coffee, it's a great start. I stopped by during morning rush, so I was the only customer at the time, but the staff seemed friendly enough. Would recommend checking this place out
