    one my best friends was visiting LA and she decided on this place for brunch, I had actually never heard of it so I said let's go!! firstly, parking is terrible but that's normal for k town. we had already parked in a residential area and walked 10 minutes to get here lol. but the inside of the place was surprisingly spacious! I didn't think it would have a lot of tables and chairs but it does, as well as a restroom in the back. lots of stuff to choose from on the menu, but we just got food, I got the Focaccia Prosciutto Cloud and she got the Avocado Croast. both were super delicious we were so happy!! but I really loved the toppings on my focaccia one. only thing is it took a long time for my order to come out. I would come back here to try more food as well as their drinks!!

    My favorite coffee in the world -- the New Orleans is to die for. The baked goods (especially the almond croissant) are delicious. Kind service & great coffee.

    New Orleans Cold Brew with Oat milk
    candon m.

    We got our usual order -- New Orleans Cold Brew with oat milk. We're regulars, and about half the time we ask for no ice since we moved a bit farther away and don't want it getting watered down on the way home. With the milk substitute and a $2 tip, it came out to about $22 for two drinks. I understand that no ice can mean a slightly smaller amount, but this time it felt like way less than expected... kind of a "wait, what?" moment ‍

    Cute coffee spot inside busy little Ktown plaza. I went on a Tuesday around noon and a lot of people there hanging out with computers so there weren't too many spots left to sit. The staff was great and super friendly and I had the lavender matcha latte which was delicious. If I come back I'll def try and review the food bc a lot of it sounded tasty.

    It was my first time stopping by at Alchemist Coffee Project even though it's so close to my house. The lavender matcha latte was great, very fragrant with lavender. The truffle toast was delicious and super crispy, especially when it's hot. The atmosphere in the shop is really nice too, chill and relaxing.

    Loved this location because it had lots of seating options inside. They even had some vegan pastries which is always a bonus for me. Unfortunately I did feel the avocado toast was a little too salty but I enjoyed my latte and vegan chocolate chip cookie. Staff was friendly from what I can recall so no notables issues there. I'd definitely go again some time. Great place to go settle in and do some work for a couple of hours.

    I LOVE The Alchemist Coffee project. It has such calming and welcoming vibes. They have a lovely display of pastries that are beautifully presented, and the menu is set up so you can read it as you wait to order. The team here is wonderful; they always welcome you with a smile. Most of their signature drinks are iced, but they do offer a Spanish latte with a lovely taste of cinnamon. It's on the sweeter side, so you can ask them to adjust the sweetness if you prefer. I really appreciate the tables, lighting, and music, which make it a perfect spot if you decide to stay and work. Parking can be challenging, but there is valet and plenty of street parking available. I hope you enjoy your visit there!

    House coffee + latte + blueberry muffin. Finally made it out here!
    Caroll P.

    Best pastry & large variety!! From bagels, to scones, to specialty cakes! Best coffee! From drip, to pour over, to iced or hot lattes! Wonderful ambiance and plentiful seating. Parking is good before the evening when the neighboring restaurants open up. Service is excellent! Love this place and it's my favorite in the Southland of Cali :)) Come here and definitely try the house made basque cheesecake. A MUST and unforgettable treat.

    My main irk with this place is that you're paying $6-7+ for a small drink...whether or not you get coffee or matcha, they taste great. Just remember the portion not being like this. If you come here to study/work, it may be worth it for the ambiance, but to me it felt more of a grab and go spot. Parking is street parking if you are lucky and if not then valet parking. Friendly service.

    Was staying in the area for a couple of days and we were able to walk to this cute little shop. Fun decorations inside very like steampunk in a way but for coffee. Service was goods My friends enjoy their coffees, so I'm not sure what they were drinking, I think they got the same the next day . The first day I had the tiramisu drink, and it was quite delightful, more dessert than it was coffee, but it was still very good . The second day I had a brown sugar latte, and it was good . The ham and cheese croissant was so incredibly flaky. I got a second day in a row. . We tried the honey cake and it's very nostalgic and reminds me of a moon pie, and I can't stop thinking about it. I would love to know where they get their pastries from. . Definitely skip the chain coffee shops, and come here!

    There's ample parking in the lot, lots of seating with outlets, and good wifi. From an amenities perspective, this is a great place to do work. I personally don't drink coffee so I ordered the matcha einspanner and was pretty disappointed. The matcha wasn't very strong and tasted mostly like milk. The cream top wasn't too sweet which I liked though. 4 stars mainly because the space was nice but I wouldn't go here for the drinks themselves.

    Coffee Cake & Americano
    Jeannie B.

    Great place to hangout or workout of. I literally spent hours at the location doing work. Free WIFI. It can get packed in there. Baristas are friendly and quick. Over my time there, I've had two Americanos both consistent and good, coffee cake and avocado & bacon croissant sandwich. I love how they service on dishes and mugs if you are eating in. All so delicious! I will be back when I am in the area. And if you get there early enough, free parking!

    No, I believe last time I went there was no seats outside

    Flavorful!!! Enjoy and be safe always!

    Do they still open open mics on Wednesday's?

    Hi, Alchemist never did open mics.

    Are there many outlets and tables to work at?

    They do have a fair amount of outlets. But depends at what time you go because there are various people at many times also using them. Especially during the evening time

    yes!

    Is this a pet-friendly cafe?

    unfortunately not 😿🐶

Our waiter was personable and took our order quickly as well as consistently replenished our drinking water.

I loved all the greens and pita to wrap the pork and goodies into! We ended with a bday scoop of mango sticky ice cream which was completely different than I've had before and yummy.

With things like goat curry and gluten free options, you gotta have rice. Second, they ran out of goat curry. I came all the way from San Diego to try it. Oh well. Excuse to come back. I loved every bite I tried. There was nothing that disappointed. The standouts were the green beans, the Brussels sprouts that came with the chicken, the pork shank and the tuna and crunchy quinoa salad. I'm still thinking of that crunchy quinoa. We had no room for dessert. So maybe next time we try the goat curry, get the quinoa salad again and get dessert! The service was great too. Attentive but not overbearing. It's a cute restaurant both inside and outside.
