What a great addition to the local coffee shop scene! Alchemy Roast is a local coffee roaster that used to only be available at farmers or pop up markets, and now they have a brick and mortar location in Mesa.
Located in a large, industrial sized space, the front area is set up like a cafe/ living room space where you could hang out for a bit.
They sell the whole coffee beans that they roast there, and coffee drinks, plus snack items. I tried the chocolate chip cookies that were baked that morning and they were perfect. Like seriously some of the best CC cookies I've had recently.
My drink was the iced brown sugar latte from the menu, with vanilla and cinnamon added, which was dubbed "cinnamon toast crunch" latte. That's exactly what it tastes like.
The space is very cute and comfortable, while remaining functional in the back for their roasting operations. The owner mentioned hosting community events and there's an upcoming yoga class that will happen there this month. He said they will also have a DJ for dance nights, which totally explains the disco ball hanging (love that!). I definitely plan to come back and try other items, go to a community event, and get more of those cookies! :) read more
