Delightful coffee shop in the Tower. The coffee I got was just the right amount of sweet and my dad's was a stout black espresso. The ambiance was friendly and welcome and we weren't hurried out which was nice since we were trying to catch up. There was water available too! The decorations are low key but help set a fun mood. I'll be back!
Omg this place was so good! I got their avocado toast and originally I thought it was too expensive but they really loaded it up with some delicious ingredients. It was such a filling avocado toast. I also got the croissant cinnamon roll, which was good but i think I would prefer a normal cinnamon roll. It didn't pack that cinnamon flavor punch and didn't have a gooey center, and only had a small amount of cream cheese frosting on top. As for drinks I got the peppermint mocha with dark chocolate syrup. I loved that you had the choice of what kind of chocolate flavor you want. The coffee was good, not too sweet and the coffee flavor wasn't too strong either. I would have preferred a bit of a stronger coffee flavor but it was still good. There was minimal seating inside, just a few tables with the max of four people per table. The parking is only street parking. This place filled up quick in the morning so if you want a table to sit with your coffee, I would suggest getting here early.
So far I've been twice and the drinks aren't doing it for me, unfortunately. I'm sure there is something on the menu I will enjoy so I will for sure come back. I have always been a fan of the space - it is cozy and welcoming albeit, small. I wouldn't recommend coming with a large study group or friends group but a solo coffee date or one on one meeting would suffice. The baristas are knowledgeable and kind. My first visit I ordered a black hot coffee. It tasted diluted and bitter. This recent visit I got a hot matcha latte with sugar free vanilla and almond milk. It was OK, but I've had much better. This one yielded a bitter aftertaste similar to the back coffee. I like the fact that they do not charge extra for milk substitutes! I also noted that they offer bites as well and I am a fan of avocado and hummus toast. So I will be back soon to try other items.
I've tried this cafe a couple times within the last week and really enjoyed it! I tried their seasonal honey rose lavender latte and an iced vanilla latte. The honey rose lavender latte was very good! They add dried rose too so presentation is also really pretty. The vanilla latte was just okay. Baristas were nice and the decor inside has a cool vibe.
I have been coming to Alchemist Coffee for at least a couple of years. I decided to go yesterday after an intense yoga class. I felt I earned it lol. I love the taste of their lattes, the taste of the coffee comes through, it's never too sweet and is always the right consistency. They have their recipe down! I ordered a decaf vanilla latte iced with oat milk. They charge extra for milk substitutes. They also have tea and baked good, food. There is plenty of room to sit, I love going there to catch up with friends! The staff is always nice and helpful! Of course I will be back.
Such a small and adorable cafe that serves very delicious coffee! May have to come early if you want seats since there's not much and people study in there! I wish their menu had more, but the staff are always willing to help you decide on a drink! We've tried their seasonal drinks for October and November, all were very creamy and yummy! Will definitely visit again if we're in the area!
I love trying different non-chain coffee spots. I stopped by the Alchemist Coffee Lab recently to meet up with a friend. Street parking may be tough, but there's a nearby lot that had spots available. The cafe has sparse but sufficient seating which actually is a plus. Some locations really crowd in the tables, but here, there is a luxury of space between tables, giving you the opportunity to be part of the room but also have that intimate conversation or alone space if that is what you need. The ambiance is warm and inviting. The baristas were welcoming and informative. As a newbie to the location with some dietary restrictions, they helped me customize a drink that was exactly right for me. They offered me the option of blonde or regular espresso shots. I know blonde roast is something that's been around for a while, but I've never tried it. And apparently, it has a higher caffeine content than standard/dark roast espresso. The iced espresso drink was delicious. I could taste the hints of caramel from the blonde roast. I also ordered their iced tea, which was strong and balanced. While this location is a bit out of the way for me, I'm really glad I had the chance to try it. If I'm in the area, I will definitely take the time to say hi and get my caffeine fix.
The last time I was here it was for a Yelp event and it's been way overdue! First off, I've always loved this place and the vibe upon walking in. I ordered from their Spring menu, I opted for the Honey Cardamom Date Latte (say that fast 5x) it was honestly VERY good and just the perfect amount of sweetness from the honey and the dates. I also won a free latte from their sticker machine which was a nice touch! Can't wait to go back and try their rose latte!
The Alchemist is a wonderful coffee shop right on the edge of tower. They offer amazing seasonal drinks unique to any other coffee shop in town. Prices are a little above average but worth it. Various pastries from danishes to cinnnamon rolls. There are plenty of seating options whether its outside on a nice day or a window seat to see the passebys. Service is always fast and friendly with a smile.
Rise a shine and the turkey Bagel was on point and had to have a good ol bagel and cream. O did I mention some avocado toast with a vinaigrette drizzle delicious. And to wash it down with a cup of Americano Decaf and a the wife had a Mocha. The Service is exceptional, helpful and brings your order to you with a smile as always. The vibe of the place is relaxing a great place to start your day. People enjoying their coffees and food while visiting with friends or by themselves just enjoying themselves in a nice environment. I will definitely be back. SYOYCFN
First time here after Sis and I stopped at several coffee spots. Let me just say, these ladies were ALL PLEASANTLY amazing; Megan started it off with her patience with us first timers and made wonderful suggestions, my cappuccino was BOMB and Sis who typically only gets a cup of dark roast or a pour over wherever we go, absolutely LOVED her latte. Bug made our drinks and seemed equally satisfied that we were totally pleased. She also made suggestions for our return trip and then Amber, she assisted Sis with her bag to go and gave her some tips. I would most definitely return to this spot. Relaxed atmosphere and the staff is truly a 10/10. It's truly not just coffee here, Megan said, "we respect the bean" and yes they do! Heads up, you MUST check out the 10 commandments prior to leaving.
What a great spot in Tower. Located access from Goldsteins is Alchemist. Great interior decor. Staff is friendly and the coffee js solid . The bagel sandwich was delightful. Will be visiting again.

Alchemist Coffee Lab has a really cool, distinctive vibe that fits the name perfectly. The mix of warm colors, coffee chemistry artwork, vintage furniture, and modern coffee equipment makes the space feel creative and different from the usual coffee shop. I ordered a latte along with an almond pastry, and both were enjoyable. The coffee was nicely presented, and the pastry was a good pairing. They also have a solid selection of pour overs, beans, brewing equipment, and merchandise if you're really into coffee. The atmosphere was probably my favorite part. It feels like a place where you can slow down, enjoy your drink, read, or just hang out for a while. Overall, a very good local coffee shop with plenty of personality. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

The drinks were good. The service was mid (barista's attitude was rude-ish bc we asked for a side of creamer, the person who took our order was nice). I got a pour over coffee which are meant to be enjoyed black (was yummy) but they didn't specify how many ounces it would be and I ended up with a half empty cup. So, bummer, but the taste was good nonetheless. read more
ICED MATCHA LATTE - VANILLA (12OZ @ 6.64) :: This location mainly focus on coffee and basic brews. The regular iced matcha latte is just plain with no sugar. I had to add 1 shot of vanilla syrup for $0.65. Honestly, the matcha is very diluted. It taste like home made. The matcha does not taste rich or smooth at all. RATE : 2/5 SERVICE : Fast and friendly service. This location gets pack during the day, though their service are quick at taking orders and getting out orders. They did great on letting me know that the iced matcha will taste bland/no sugar and ask if I wanted to add any sugar. Or else I wouldn't know. RATE : 5/5 AMBIANCE : Nice warm rustic interior design. They have lots of seating inside and out. It's nice and clean in there. Guest clean up after their selves. They also have merch for sale; such as hats, coffee, hand brew glass kettle etc. Parking lot is a bit difficult during peak hours. There is a little shared parking lot a few steps away but it does get pack sometime. The other parking option is on the side walk. This location is in a one way direction so parking spot could be a bit difficult. OVERALL : Cute little place for coffee and a quick grab. Parking is a little difficult to find during busy hour. I recommend this place to people who are looking for dark espresso and strong coffee. read more

Service is amazing, super friendly staff, pastry was super yummy, and the coffee shop itself is cute and homey, felt very cozy read more
Both the coffee and pastries were mediocre; however, the service was great. I ordered a chai latte, an almond croissant, and also tried a cappuccino. The chai latte and croissant were both overly sweet and tasted somewhat cheap, lacking an authentic or homemade feel. The cappuccino, unfortunately, was sour and didn't have the bold, rich flavor I was hoping for. The outdoor ambiance also wasn't ideal--the seating was tilted due to the hill, and the tables were right next to a busy road with a lot of passing cars. read more
Alchemist Coffee Lab always has such a cozy and vibrant feel to it. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I ordered the avocado toast and it did not disappoint! I loved how the sweet balsamic glaze paired with the feta cheese, plus the little kick of spice from the red pepper flakes! The sourdough bread also held its own adjust the banging flavors of the toppings. My strawberry matcha wasn't quite as impressive. The matcha flavor was good but a bit diluted. I didn't appreciate much of the strawberry flavor even after I vigorously mixed the complements. The sweetness was also on the low side for me. Overall the drink was more milky than I prefer. Next time I'll ask for more strawberry to see if it balances better! read more

Such a cute shop. The vibe is cozy, and it's great to see people in the community meeting up and having conversations. I've studied here a couple times, and they have ample outlets and free wifi, making it convenient for a study session. I love their matcha latte, it's the one thing I get. They also have sugar-free and alternative milk options, which I love. The staff are friendly and bring hot drinks to your table. Hope to come here lots in the future! read more

We were coming back from camping and stopped here for coffee. Super cool vibe with great people. The latte was beautiful and uplifting. My avocado balsamic toast was so delicious. I devoured it. The bagel yummy as well as the parfait, chia pudding and Nitro brew. A must in this area. Clean bathrooms and lemon water for you. Outisde and inside seating. All around great coffee shop. read more

The coffee was fresh enough, with a smooth texture and mild taste. The aroma was faint and the finish ordinary. It was acceptable but forgettable. read more

I came from a recommendation from someone I met at a farmers market. I typically don't leave Clovis area but I was happy to venture out and try something new. I love the vibe of a small local coffee shop. When I went in it seems like the barista knew most of the people and they were regulars. The avocado toast was perfect and I really liked that there was chili flakes. It was a nice touch and made the avocado a little more flavorful. read more

I've recently become a big fan of this place. I love to indulge in their seasonal drinks, the cherry mocha and peppermint mocha are recent faves. They also have an array of pastries from La Boulagerie and some hummus and avocado toasts and bagels as well. Services is always super helpful and friendly. It fills up quick on weekends but they also offer some outdoor seating. An overall chill space to have some coffee and a snack. read more

Super cozy and aesthetic shop! Definitely recommend coming here if you need a place to study but it can get really crowded. The staff were welcoming and they always greet you when you arrive. We ordered two 12oz iced matcha latte with almond milk and 2 pumps of vanilla syrup, they were good. read more

Cute little coffee shop, even for Fresno. You can tell this place is a go to spot in Fresno because it was packed, luckily I was able to grab the last table! Located in downtown fresno, so be prepared to see homeless people a few blocks away. Lots of street parking which is convenient! Ordered an iced and hot vanilla latte - they were super yummy! My husband was super impressed as well, and he's not a big coffee fan. The person who took my order was so friendly and helpful, wish I had gotten his name! Great little spot, glad we stopped by as we were driving through! read more

Tried this spot for the first time while in town. Two of us got the avocado toast & lattes & one got a drip coffee and lox bagel. They do except bringing in your own mug which is nice. They didn't offer a discount, but it was appreciated to be able to use your own cup. The coffee and lattes were yummy along with the food. Great spot in The Tower to meet with friends or do some work. It was pretty busy in there, but everyone working was very kind. read more
