We ate at LeeGa right next door so of course we'd stop by for a coffee! We had the vanilla latte and the tiramisu latte and we were both really happy with our drinks! Service is great and fast and ambiance is very interesting here! I do love the designs of these coffee sleeves and their branding! This is definitely a cool place to hit!!Parking can be tricky though, street parking is not easy!

I have brought several coffee heads here and without fail they sing the praises of the quality of the coffee itself here - not the fancy delicious drinks they have but the actual espresso itself. The vibes are really cozy and even though it's always busy it never feels overwhelming or too loud, just lots of people working and enjoying the space. They also have DELICIOUS baked goods and bagel sandwiches. Not to mention the folks that work there are always really nice and quick to get orders out no matter how busy they are. Big fan!The parking lot here can be a nightmare and is often converted to a valet lot so you're better off looking across Vermont for a street spot near the apartment complexes and walking over.

Great study spot - plenty of outlets on the floors for charging devices.Ambiance - definitely a study café, good for focusing.Forest Matcha - espresso + matcha, perfect for when I have a lot of work to do.Lavender Matcha - my current favorite; almost tastes like horchata.Pound Cake - a tiny delight; crunchy on the outside but slightly burnt.Service - okay

Alchemist Coffee is a great study spot if you're in the ktown area. I stopped by Alchemist around 9:30 AM. There is a parking lot and there were still spots available. It did seem I arrive before valet parking staff arrived, so I didn't need to pay. I ordered the Misugaru latte and I really enjoy it! If you like black sesame flavor, then this is good option. It was lactose friendly, since they use oat versus milk. I can see why it's on the signature category!For seating, there were various options available throughout the store that were good for small groups. I did sit at the middle tall table. There was an outlet available right underneath. There is strong WiFi available with the password available at the front counter. As for noise, the music was at an okay level, but there was a lot of people talking. Headphones recommended if that bothers you. Note: American Express is accepted.

I come to this location often and the baristas are always kind and attentive.Im a fan of their cold brew because it's not as acidic as others Ive tried. It seems like a good spot to do some work but it seems to get fairly packed by noon. I came a little earlier than usual today and saw them getting some of their desserts delivered. It seemed like they source some of their baked goods from a small local bakery which I think is nice (they seemed pretty busy so I couldn't fact-check this though)

Has valet parking for $2-3. It's a good study spot with has a lot of tables and warm lighting. The workers are nice and fast at making the orders. The sparkling yuzu matcha was really yummy(5/5)! The matcha einspanner was good but the ice cubes were so giant I felt like I only got 5 good sips out of it(4/5). The donuts are stale by the end of the day because they've been out so long so I'd skip the pastries unless it's morning.

This coffee shop is pretty big and great for studying considering we're in LA. I love how this coffee shop has Asian drinks, American drinks, and matcha/tea to satisfy all taste buds. They also provide a wide range of pastries and hot foods, perfect to stay the entire day if you're getting hungry while studying or doing work.Misugaru Latte (4.5/5): This is a coffee mixed with grains latte that has black sesame oat latte, espresso, and a not too sweet cream top. I would say the taste of Misugaru is a blend of soybean, black sesame, and peanut! It's a delicious and nutty drink if you're into that. The sweet cream top balanced the nuttiness of the drink so well adding a refreshing palate cleanser. Dubai Chocolate (5/5): They were selling Dubai chocolate here at $9 so I had to get it! This one was made with dark chocolate which paired very nicely with the tahini, pistachio paste, and phillo dough sweet filling! The design was also so cute. Great gift treats or to just enjoy yourself. I ate the whole bar in one sitting - no regrets.

I visited Alchemist for a coffee chat with a friend and ordered their Misugaru Latte with 50% sugar - perfect for the savory individual looking to enjoy a guilty pleasure with black sesame. The comments were correct; if you want to visit, come early before 11am to avoid the $3 valet.Parking was fairly tight in this plaza - as is most of Koreatown - and even at 11am customers packed along the entrance. Upon entering, I felt like I had instantly teleported to a cafe in Korea - what a nostalgic experience. Despite being so packed, the drink was ready within 10 minutes, and ooooh was it tasty! I never considered black sesame paired with coffee; the flavors paired well together, the only complain being that the black sesame eventually sinks to the bottom. Need a cozy place to work in Koreatown? This might be it! The tables were clean, and looking around, many people study and meet up here. Before we left, there was even a table interviewing a candidate.

Alchemist Coffee Project is a vibrant coffee place where coffee lovers gather to experience the art and culture of coffee. Moreover, it's a specialty coffee shop dedicated to serve the best coffee and provide the best service.Interior design was aesthetic with relaxing atmosphere. A good place to study, work and hangout with friends. Similarly, it's small but spacious enough to move around. They have a good selection of coffee, teas and pastries. I came on an early weekend morning. As a first time customer, I was thrilled to try their stuff. I had a Spanish Latte (10oz), Croissant and Bread Pudding. Coffee was smooth and perfectly brewed. Pastries were divine and soft especially the pudding. Female Staff was affable and respectful. Service was very satisfactory. Free wifi. Prices for pastries and drinks were a lil expensive. However, the quality speaks volume. Plenty of parking spot given it's located in a midsize plaza. Overall, we enjoyed our drinks, pastries and had a very satisfactory experience. I recommend this coffee shop.
