A great option for anyone with celiac disease (gluten free) or looking for a high protein meal. Tried the bacon and guac egg wrap (the egg is the tortilla) and the steak and frites. The sauces were all GF and the staff offered to clean the grill. The steak was a bit expensive but I highly recommend!

Great coffee!

WOW WOW WOW, came just to kill a few hours before a flight and the lunch food blew my mind. It was the option with meat and potatoes in a bucket with your choice of sauce (not seeing it on the online menu but I will attach the photo) so good. Been craving it since.
Definitely an upscale coffee shop with all the bells and whistles and all the drinks were great quality.
Negatives is there is a time limit to hang out (i assume it gets reallt busy).

Best matcha I’ve had downtown Calgary! The monte cristo croissant sandwich is a must! 💯

I visited a few days ago after spotting the café on Google Maps. It looked very charming and inviting. The ambiance and atmosphere were lovely, and I genuinely appreciated the cozy vibe. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t hold up when it came to taste. 🫤

The flat white resembled a very milky latte with only a faint hint of coffee, which was disappointing. The cake, while beautifully presented, was dry and tasted overly “healthy”. I’ve had sugar-free baked goods that were far more flavorful and (tbh) less expensive.

Perhaps I just caught an off day and the staff were having a rough morning. But taste-wise, it wasn’t an experience I’d want to repeat.

My first café experience in Canada since I only arrived last night, and this café was perfect! Great coffee and pastries, and a lovely person behind the counter. I didn’t have food but the options on the board looked amazing! Totally recommend it :)

As someone with celiac disease, eating out can often be stressful and frustrating — but Cafe Alchemist made the experience so easy and enjoyable. They were incredibly accommodating and served me one of their mouth-watering bowls that was completely gluten-free and absolutely delicious! The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, the space was very clean, and the food is truly to die for. Highly recommend for anyone looking for safe, tasty options — especially if you’re gluten-free!

Cool concept, nice decor. I got the steak frites and you customize the butter and finishing and it was yummy. Good cafe for lunch if you don’t like typical cafe food for lunch

Randomly cancelled my online order without notifying me. I was able to reorder when I found out but lost 30 mins of my time waiting until I realized. Should have at least called to apologize or given something for free for wasting my time.

Edit: in response to the owner. Appears that on Uber Eats they claim it was cancelled by the restaurant. Maybe you should clarify with Uber Eats so they don't blame you unnecessarily, but as of now they claim it was on the restaurant side.

Such a Lovely place! Coffee is very good, and there are many alternative milk options (almond, coconut, soy, oat). Service is also on top, all the staff is very friendly, kind and caring.
I wish they are also open during weekends.

If anything this egg wrap is highly unique, very filling and works well with calorie conscious diets. It feels. Like you are eating 3-4 eggs making it extremely filling.

Well worth the $13 for a specialty breakfast item.

Their flat white is quite mediocre.

The service was very fast and polite. The price is very fair. The food tasted amazing, and one of the best coffees I have had in Calgery. I am planning to come again when in town 💜
