Met a friend here for coffee and I was pleasantly surprised by the inviting atmosphere. I love how they decorate with live plants everywhere and have a wood pergola to make it feel like an all seasons patio inside the coffee shop. It was also a lot more spacious than I expected. I ordered a matcha (my very first ever!) and it was so delicious! I got it with a vanilla cold foam on top and 10/10 would get it again. I also ordered a breakfast sandwich on croissant bread and it was so delicious! I love that the breakfast sandwiches are made to order and not pre-packaged and heated up. I will definitely be back even if it's just by myself to get some work done. read more

This coffee shop has such a great atmosphere! The artistic décor gives the space a unique and welcoming feel, and the large open layout provides plenty of seating. Whether you're meeting up with friends, studying, working remotely, or just enjoying a quiet cup of coffee, there's plenty of room to get comfortable. The space feels bright, inviting, and thoughtfully designed. It's the perfect spot to relax, catch up on work, or spend a few hours enjoying a good drink. I especially loved the creative artwork throughout the shop--it adds so much character to the experience. I'll definitely be back read more

This place was AMAZING!!!!!! I'm here for vacation and looked for a coffee shop that also had breakfast and this place delivered beyond my expectations. They have a full breakfast and lunch menu and a great coffee menu. The woman who took my order was very helpful and recommended me the oatmilk cocoa date latte, which was so good, and they have great gluten free options so I got the breakfast sandwich which was so good. I came back after eating to buy some coffee beans because they have dark roast which is also rare for a coffee shop to sell I feel like. I will totally be coming back!!! read more

There were FLIES ALL OVER.. Coffee was great, service great. Only one restroom. Which is doable. They have got to do something about the flies. Thankfully there was outside seating.. read more

Very solid coffee spot! Unfortunately it's not in my neighborhood but when I'm able I'll pick up a cup from Alchemist! Space is open and chill. I adore the decor. It's got a darker, celestial vibe. Which makes sense with the nod to alchemy. There are enough cozy nooks to have a private chat or bigger tables for groups. I'm a black coffee type of gal so I can't speak to the fancy coffee drinks. But coffee straight is a nice middle ground between robust and bright. They have a good selection of teas and breakfast fare as well. Service is counter only and you bus your own dishes. Efficient and fun spot. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Overland is an area I usually don't frequent much of. I was in area today so of course I needed to stop at Alchemist for a caffeinated beverage. I remember this venue being another coffee joint back in the day. I knew this updated venue was going to be stunning like all the other ones in town. Every Alchemist shop is so pretty. It's been years since I have been in this venue. My friend used to work in this strip. We used to grab drinks from the previous coffee shop. Can I tell you now gorgeous this shop is! The wood, the black walls, the simple decor and the rich colored hanging plants, it's all just beautiful! I love the set up of this place. So many tables, chairs and comfy sofas. It's the ultimate chill spot. Whoever decorates each shop does such an amazing job. A nice gentleman behind the counter greeted me. He was really sweet. I ordered my normal drink, a small iced americano with sugar free white chocolate with room for cream. I also snagged a lemon poppy seed muffin to take with me for my Grandma. I got myself settled at a table while my drink was being made. I love how busy it is. People chillin, enjoying their beverages and staying cool. Even though it busy, there was still plenty of seating available. My name was finally called. I went and grabbed my goodies that were sitting next to a well stocked condiment bar. I appreciate that they have the blue packets of sweeter here. Not every coffee shop is this cool and carries the blue packets. I'm not going to lie, I was a little disappointed to see my drink was filled to the brim with no room for cream. I know that it's just a little extra water added to the espresso but it's that much more water that dilutes the espresso. And it's that much of my drink I need to dump out to give my cup room for my half and half. I honestly don't think my drink is that hard to make. After I adjusted my drink with half and half along with a packet of blue sweetner, I hung out for a bit to enjoy my caffeinated beverage. My drink was decent. The balance of everything wasn't there. My espresso shot wasn't very prominent. Of course the cream and white chocolate was very noticeable. I have had amazing iced americanos from other Alchemist shops, unfortunately today is not one of them. I love supporting local coffee joints. It's always neat to come to other Alchemist shops in town that I don't normally frequent. This venue is beautiful like all the others in the valley. The staff is really nice. My drink could have been a little better but it was still good. I know these folks push out great coffee so I know I'll be back if I'm ever in this area again. I'm just happy I got to check out another one of these amazing coffee shops. read more

I love Alchemist Coffee! They work hard to make everything from scratch, and their flavor combinations can get pretty creative! In other words, it's not your average coffee shop! It also has a very spacious seating area, as they serve sandwiches and such too. And, there are a few treats, like cinnamon rolls, sometimes beignets, etc. It's casual, friendly, and definitely a great place to get some extra work done on the laptop or read a bit. Take a break. Have a coffee. Repeat. :) read more

Absolutely amazing, we are from out of town and have been here twice. In love with the breakfast burritos. Coffee/ambiance/flavor is literally perfect, other shops need to take notes read more

I travel around a lot for work and this is hands down the best coffee shop I've come to in the past year. My Huckleberry Coldbrew this morning was other worldly. My breakfast burrito was filling and flavorful. Great vibe and staff read more

We ordered the oat milk pistachio matcha and the bourbon caramel latte, as well as the avocado toast. The matcha was soooo delicious and so was the toast. Would definitely come back here. The vibes of the shop were very cute too! read more

It was ok but not worth a return trip for me. Coffee was sharp tasting so I could only drink about 1/2 of it. I finally decided it was not worth drinking. The quiche was not very good so I left about 1/2 of that also. The final blow for me was the sun coming in all the windows without any type of shades. It was hard to see to have a conversation with the people I was with. read more

Pretty nice coffee shop. It's clean and the staff is friendly and willing to help with anything. I studied here for the first time and they have plenty of space to isolate yourself. They also have good wifi and is an overall nice experience. Will most likely come again. read more

Stopped by for a quick coffee after a flight and was pleasantly surprised. I had the brewed tea, while my wife tried the huckleberry latte--both were excellent. I really appreciate that they make their own syrups, and it was a nice touch to see snacks from a local bakery available to enjoy on the side. Service was friendly, and the ambiance was comfortable and inviting. A great little spot to relax--I'd definitely come back if in the area. read more

Yowza! This place was PACKED on a weekend morning. I was looking for a breakfast and coffee spot on the way-ish to the airport and there wasn't too many other good options in the area which is perhaps why it's crazy here. The line was loooooooooong- order at the counter and the food took well over half an hour which just feels long for an order at the counter type of spot. They also need a better system like buzzers or something since someone has to stand near the counter to wait and hear for their order to be called That being said, really appreciated both the amount of coffee/espresso options, good quality coffee and the extensive food menu-- burritos, bowls, breakfast sandwiches/bagels. The breakfast bowls/burritos are super flavorful and filling. I was going to take my bagel sandwich to go but it was also quite good and I finished it on the spot. Lots of seating indoors, though we still had to keep our eyes open for a table to open up. Servers are nice, especially for probably getting constantly peppered for when peoples foods/drinks are going to be ready. read more

I've been to this spot on a couple of occasions now and have enjoyed the experience. On my first trip here, it was for coffee and breakfast with a friend. On my most recent trip here it was for coffee and lunch and to get a little work done. It's a great spot for both! Most recently I enjoyed their version of a pumpkin spice latte, which is made with pumpkin puree and spices. It was great! I also got their veggie bagel sandwich, which came on a plain, everything, or asiago bagel. I chose the asiago and so enjoyed it. You order at the counter and they call out your beverage. If you're getting food to enjoy in-house, they give you a number to post on your table and bring your food to you. The dining room is large and there's plenty of outlets (not at every table, but providing they aren't packed, you should be able to fine one). You could easily have a business meeting (plenty of room in between tables to have a private conversation) or work away in a quiet corner. The service is friendly and the prices are reasonable. Get to it! read more

I wish this coffee shop was in Portland. The atmosphere is open and welcoming. The music is is mellow and not loud which makes it perfect for studying or working. The seating arrangement varies from tall tables, to short tables, to couches... That y also makes that space conducive to studying or working. They have decent selection of treats to satisfy every taste. Customer service is what you would expect from a small business it's friendly and efficient. read more

Super cool place. Lots of seating perfect for getting some work done and quality drinks with nice staff.

Eclectic. Enormous. Envigorating! This shop has 'vibe' written all-over-it!! And it is PACKED. This place has a very genuine 'community' character to it. GREAT place to hang out... read more

long wait times overpriced and less than stellar vibe. Got order wrong. Coffee was not good tasting.

Pros- Friendly counter service, and the line did move quickly. Drinks were perfectly made quickly, with great temperature and a nice balance of flavors. I can definitely speak highly of the avocado toast, which had an ample amount of avocado and full flavor with the tomato and addition of salt and pepper. . Cons- I like to take a peek at online menus before I arrive, and I had decided on a coffee drink that they no longer carried, so I was disappointed. It was still shown on their website. There is no menu board in the restaurant, so you can not decide while you are standing in line, then you will need to make a quick decision when you are at the register. My food was brought out in a reasonable amount of time, but my friend's bagel took so long that I told him to go back and ask, and they had indeed forgotten it. I went to the register to look for salt and pepper near the napkins, but there wasn't any so I had to break in front of a customer to ask the cashier and she told me that I needed to walk around the back of the restaurant to find a shelf with the salt and pepper, myself. Live music was too loud to hold a conversation, and the musician never took a break! During busy times, you will have difficulty finding parking. . I realize that my con list is pretty long here, but I really would recommend it, and I would return. read more

Great people, service was quick. I had the season special (Peppermint, white chocolate) that was great. Thank you! I'll be back

Inside out: the parking lot has been packed every visit, but it's easy to get to. The design inside makes the place relaxed, modern, welcoming, and comfortable while being stylish. The food and coffee: I tried some incredibly unusual flavors to me, turmeric in coffee? It was delicious! The food seemed to be of decent quality and reasonable price. The service: Friendly, fast, and delightful. I've gone at several different times and they are always complimentary and efficient. My friend is a regular and always has lovely things to say! Overall: it's a great place to stay or go for food and snacks! The only downside is because it is all of the above it tends to be incredibly busy with a solid wait. read more

Food is too expensive, way too expensive... especially for what you get. Coffee is good but the service is odd. Orders are filled one-at-a-time, walked up five separate times over 15-min to get all items. The flies were relentless. My tip: Skip the food, come for the coffee, and take it to go. read more

I walked in and there was no designated place to order. There was a pick up place where I stood for a while. A couple got their coffee there, but whoever delivered it, didn't ask if they could help me. None of the service staff ever acknowledged me. They weren't busy and were walking back and forth behind the counter. Really frustrating. I finally walked out. read more

Great place to gather, read, play games, drink coffee, just be. Lots of space to hangout and get work done. Show up early because this place fills fast! Pick a hightop, community table or a low, private table to mingle with your guest(s) or to read a book solo. No matter what you choose for your drink, you will sip with joy. No matter what you choose for food, you will nibble with satisfaction. You can't go wrong with a stop here! read more

Cool little coffee shop! There were lots of options, the coffee was good, service was really nice. I appreciate how large the space was, plenty of tables to catch up with friends or get some work done. Would definitely come back to grab some breakfast read more

Great coffee and food items. The setting in the location are a little bit.Overly edgy.

Alchemist was such a treat while in Boise area! Such unique flavored lattes such as the Sun Moon Latte with all the goodness in it such as MCT oil and Turmeric amongst other healthy ingredients! My hubby's Bourbon Carmel Latte was soooo good as well! The "poptart" was so good! Two other people in line besides me got it and it appeared that everyone liked it. The interior was pretty cool and comfortable. Lots of places to sit! read more

I visited Alchemist amidst their transition from Awakenings Coffeehouse, when I visited the signage on the storefront still read the latter. Now, taking a look at the menu I snapped a pic of, I notice the new logo. I must say, I love the new name. It's unique, sleek and change is good! Before this experience I had only been here one other time, years ago. It was Wednesday afternoon, needed a quick pick-me-up after a day of errands. I ordered a small 12 oz iced vanilla latte (low on the ice) and a Club Panini (salami, pepperoni, turkey, cheddar cheese and onions, $6.00). I enjoyed my coffee, it did the job and tasted great. However I was mildly disappointed with the panini! The bread was very tough, like someone had microwaved it once, forgot about it and microwaved it again. I'm almost 90% sure this happened, because it also took for freaking ever to get this one lil sando. It was also very dry. I don't believe there was any cheese at all, and there were no onions. Unfortunately I ordered this to-go, so I wasn't able to request a remake. Overall, Alchemist has potential. The coffee is already great. My recommendation would be to work on improving the food, paninis specifically, or scratch them off the menu because this was not it. read more

Delectable espresso. They know a dry Cappuccino versus a 'wet.' Although I didn't eat anything their menu appears far ahead of most morning stops so if you're visiting and hungry and want a nice place to WORK from home. Grab a fat scone or some real food with protein, or a grab n go yogurt with granola. Feel free to escape your hotel, just drive on over. Nice vibe. Music. Wood structure above makes it cozy, clean highly polish concrete floor with a wood deck indoors - comfy sofas and easy chairs. Bad back? No problem - soft upright chairs or traditional chairs at high or low tables, PLUS A WORK area!......JUST PLUG IN and work from here, surf, or get yourself a midday charge. read more
