    Inside space - spacious!
    Daniel H.

    Got to check out this cool new coffee shop in Duluth Town Green! The shop is a bit hard to find as it is tucked away on a hill between the donut shop and maple street biscuit company. There's plenty of public parking around this area. The cafe itself is a bit dark as there is not a lot of natural lighting but it is a big space, with lots of seating so great for either studying by yourself or hanging out with a group of people. Not too many staff around but enough for a quiet morning and they were very kind and good service overall. I only tried the iced matcha latte and though not the best matcha I've had, I thought it was still a decent drink! The menu had a lot of interesting drinks so would definitely want to try other ones. Recommended if you're looking for a quiet space to grab a drink and either get some work done or catch up with friends.

    Alchemist on the Divide is the newest sister coffee shop to Alchemist Trading Co. in Johns Creek, which is one of my go-to's. Like it's predecessor its offers an amazing vibe for its customers as well as good coffee and tea options. The location has great interior design and lots of seating space for its customers - Downtown Duluth can get quite busy at times. This place offers rewards and the baristas are all very people oriented. On this visit I ordered a chai and my husband ordered his usual Alchemist Latte. Both were super flavorful and we enjoyed the ambiance of this new location. Whenever we are in need of a coffee pick-me-up and are in this area, we will for sure be back.

    This location was so cute and a little hidden imo. I got the matcha latte and it was really good. I had accidentally ordered the cloud one with espresso the first time and they helped me get the right order after. The service was friendly and the matcha was flavorful and not too sweet. Definitely will be back to chill here cause the space was nice and looked like it had a lot of seating.

    Top notch coffee spot in downtown Duluth, this cafe blends thoughtful design with a comfortable atmosphere and while equally artistic to the other location they have a new style all to its own. The entrance gives the feeling of walking into a hidden speakeasy, adding to its charm. The interior features a sleek yet inviting industrial aesthetic, and once inside, the space feels much larger than expected. I love the counter that mirrors the height and feel of an Italian espresso bar, instantly bringing me back to Italy and adding to the experience, which has an artistic mood that feels both intentional and authentic. The coffee is excellent with a well-curated menu. While I am not a huge sweets fan, the croffle was a great choice. Drinks all solid but the Dutch cold brew is a personal favorite, smooth, bold, and expertly crafted to highlight the beans flavor. This location is a fantastic addition to the Alchemist Coffee family, which I hope continues to expand even more. A great addition to the area!

    Absolutely amazing coffee, tea, and croffle! What's a croffle? See my picture to find out but it's good! Have been here 3 times so far and love it. Located right below Maple Street Biscuit in Downtown Duluth this location is a welcome addition to a bustling and happening community. Owned by some of the nicest people in the city of Duluth, Sarah and Michael Park have given so much to the city of Duluth and beyond. It's nice to support such an awesome family and all the more awesome since their product is such high quality and delicious! The space is comfortable and well designed. I live a ways off from this location but will be happy to stop by whenever I'm in the area or feeling like some high quality coffee or tea or grapefruit ade and a pastry to pair it with. Parking can be a little daunting but is actually quite simple if and once you are familiar with downtown Duluth. There are a few 15 minutes spots directly in front of the cafe and there are two parking lots within walking distance. I heard on weekends there's additional parking available nearby. 5 solid stars easily and two thumbs up! Thank you to the owners and staff for running a tip top operation.

    Passion Fruit Tea and the Alchemist Latter
    Nghia V.

    This is not your typical coffee shop. It's more of an espresso bar that specialized in perfecting the art of coffee brewing. We got to try various types of drink and my favorite is the alchemist latte (iced) while the dutch latte was very smooth, the additional shot of espresso gave it a more bold body. The dutch latte was very smooth and easier to drink. But I believe there is more caffeine content in the dutch latte. The Passion fruit tea may seem very simple but it's one of my favorite to clean my palette so I can enjoy my latte anew every-time. The black tea is very subtle and not strong so there's no bitter aftertaste. We also love the honey croffles that is crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The decoration is definitely a hip place and not your typical morning brunch coffee shop. I cannot wait for their grand opening to try their full menu.

    Having been to Alchemist in Alpharetta, and finding out there's one in Duluth, I thought it would be the perfect time to go with a friend to catch up and study. It's located next to Maple Street and on the side of a building (kinda hidden), and right by a parking lot so it's convenient to walk like 50 steps to get there. The inside is kinda dark, and drinks are similarly priced to the one in Alpharetta. I haven't been to the other one in so long, so I can't compare much but their drinks didn't take too long and staff was friendly. They'll either call out your drink or bring it to you! There's enough tables to bring friends and family or even just yourself, and perfect place to get some work done or catch up with a friend. Just be aware that it can get loud at times, but nonetheless I'm happy they have a closer location to me.

    Caramel Cloud and Moka Cloud
    Diana S.

    This place needs more reviews as it is phenomenal!!! I have been here twice and it is crazy good. Tucked away in downtown Duluth it is one of the nicest coffee shops I have been to. It is behind the Maple Biscuit Company. The shop has a nice charm when you walk in and man is it nice and cool in there especially after coming in on a 90 degree day. The interior has really nice lighting and is very pretty imo. Both times the service was always wonderful. They are very helpful and also patient when perusing the menu, because there is a lot to choose from. I usually have my go to classics, but here, I am cool with trying different things. Their coffee is YUMMY!!! It reminds of the coffee in Miami (which quite possibly has the best coffee) so this place definitely measures up. I ordered the caramel cloud which is exactly what you would have expected. The coffee was so chocolaty and smooth and the cold foam on top with caramel was just the perfect sweetness. They have a pastry case and I have seen they make croffles (a mix of croissant and waffle) but have yet to try it (don't worry I will). There is a tiny lot in back that fills up pretty quick but you can also park in the public parking area for downtown Duluth and walk. It isn't very far and it is free parking. If you are ever in downtown Duluth and need a caffeine fix (or even a juice or an herbal tea) PLEASE check them out. Much better than your local Starbucks for sure.

    The service was impeccable and was brought directly to my table with a smile. The flat white with almond milk was balanced with a hint of sweet without any sweetener added which was simply delicious. Ambiance is cheerful and relaxing within the dark industrial setting. The mellow jazz or classical background music creates a cozy feel. This is a great place to get work done.

The Caramel Macchiato was definitely on the sweeter side, but it paired surprisingly well with the savory takoyaki.

    My friends and I visited after I mentioned a high school friend of mine liking this place. Once I…read morerealized where it was... I was skeptical. I do not feel as though downtown Duluth truly captures the amazing food scene of the city, but again, an old friend did like it enough to tell me about it. Inside was pretty spacious. High ceilings and bright. You have to go up front and order, and they'll give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. Pretty standard so far. It's not too loud, even with the music playing in the background, so not bad for hanging out with friends after the food is done, though we didn't. We were all pretty disappointed with our food. It wasn't bad, thankfully, it was just meh. We could've literally drove 5 minutes away for better, so we left as soon as we finished. The good thing is you get to choose what protein you want with your dish, which is nice. However, the chicken katsu here is thin. Also, the K-Fried chicken doesn't really mesh with the pasta. It's like a skewer on the side of your main dish. You can eat them separately and be happy enough. I was ok with the bulgogi, but I would've expected better from a Korean establishment. I haven't tried every single protein option, but I won't lie, tofu in pasta isn't the most appealing to me. For the main dishes, it was pretty bland, especially the omurice. You need the egg and the protein for flavor. The Schezwan pasta wasn't even spicy. At least the carbonara was creamy as it should be.

It's very eggy to them, which is fair, you do need more eggs than normal pancakes to make them. I don't mind at all, but they are a lot to eat alone. Good to share with friends, though it can get a bit messy to eat. I also tried a drink here, the lychee genmaicha, and it was nice. Lots of drink options in Duluth, but since I was already here, I thought that I might as well get a drink and see if it's any good. Now I'm curious about their food. They have a breakfast/lunch/brunch menu with SAVORY pancakes. I'd love to try them some time or even one of their croffles, which they can make savory or sweet as well. That being said, I've only ever been here at night after dinner. Not very busy, so there's always a table available and not much of a line. Maybe it's time for me to have some breakfast for dinner.

The Second Level / Upper Floor is reserved for if you are going to be ordering/dining in for the pastas and/or savory foods. I only tried their coffee today on the first level. I did go upstairs to check it out and did see a bunch of people upstairs just sitting and chilling on their laptops with their coffees/drinks; so they may not really enforce their "reserved for pasta dining only" rule. Not sure. Ambiance (First Level / First Floor) - clean, nice, laid-back, chill, cool environment. Casual setting. Cool architecture, design, layout, and decor. Can get loud inside as ceilings are high and can get echo-y, especially if there are alot of people. Also, there is music constantly playing in background. Service (First Level / First Floor) - customer service was quick and straightforward. They were nice and polite. A+. No complaints here. Coffee (First Level / First Floor) - tried their "Korean Iced Coffee" for $7.25. It was one size only and one price at $7.25. It was delicious. Almost similar tasting to a Vietnamese coffee in my opinion (both are delicious). That strong, brewed coffee flavor with this delicious milky, sweetened condensed milk taste. I am not exactly sure if they used sweetened condensed milk in the Korean iced coffee, but it sure does taste similar to it. It's quite good. Also had a "Large Hazelnut Hot Coffee" with creamer for $5.95. It was okay. Total with tax for the two drinks was $13.99. Keep in mind that the WiFi is on your receipt as a QR Code at the bottom. So if you want to use the WiFi, ask for the receipt and/or keep the receipt so that you can scan the QR Code in order to use the WiFi. There was no password on the receipt, only a QR Code that you need to scan. Overall - Yes I would recommend this place for a nice little coffee stop. Check it out for yourself. Enjoy!

It didn't work for me this time so I'll try it again my next visit and stress that I'd like it sweetened a lot little more than the usual sweetness. UPDATE: Earlier I said I didn't like my Mango Matcha, now I have to change that once I put the straw in my cut and stirred the matcha it was delicious. I didn't realize I shouldn't drink it from the cup without stirring first. I feel so silly now. I changed my four stars to five stars and a newbie like me now will know to stir the matcha first. I received an awards card after ten stamps I believe I get a free item. Sounds fun. Parking is not a problem there's plenty. I can't wait to visit here again.
