The vibe here is cozy and inviting, perfect for a quiet coffee break or a casual meet-up. The baristas are friendly and know their craft, serving up rich, flavorful brews that hit the spot. The seating is comfortable, and the decor has a rustic charm that adds to the overall experience. It’s a great spot to unwind or get some work done without feeling rushed. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Great coffee!! And unique options
The service is always great too
And food options include full meals like sandwiches which is nice
only thing that’s slightly annoying is sometimes it’s super busy. But if you can find a spot, then good wfh spot

We tried the Tiramisu latte (slightly sweet and coffee wasn't strong - very delicious), einspanner (slightly sweet creamy top with coffee - also very good), iced matcha latte (kind of bland depending on the sweetness you choose). Great service and ambience.

I like this cafe, but I hope they can open until 7 pm instead of 6

Tasty food and drinks. Expensive but typical for LA. Poor ambience: the space is a loud echoey cavern. Or you can eat outside (along Wilshire 🚗). 90-min parking validation in structure (which has labeled “Retail” spots which is great).

Although I didn’t enjoy my Latte, I didn’t order what I should have. Cannot fault a place for serving what I ordered knowing I probably wouldn’t like it. Either this isn’t a place for me and that’s okay or I did it wrong and need a redo. I hope the latter. This is a place for the adventurous spirit in all things. Coffee isn’t that thing for me. I have expectations borne from many travels and throughout them all, I don’t recall coffee being treated so very differently. Concoctions inspired by coffee is how I perceive Alchemy Coffee - and for that they do awesomely. I will try them again and again, experimenting with their wares and offerings until I find the correct concoction to suit my discerning tastes. Why? Because this is a place that puts effort into every aspect, from decor to drinks. It all works without an overly kitschy feel. Thus, I believe that Alchemy Coffee to be deserving the same effort from their patronage. Engage in culinary experiments and discern all that they have for yourself. Remember that you’ll not always order what you want and to adjudicate appropriately.

Hope to give a 5Star review in the future.

I was back in town visiting a friend. On our last morning we decided to grab some coffee and maybe a croissant for the ride home.
The space was very open, clean, and a great place to come in with your laptop and get some work done while drinking your coffee.
The cashier was friendly and answered all of our questions and I was also trying to find a gluten free option for food for my wife.
We wanted to try a few items on the menu. We ordered the Misugaru Latte and the Tiramisu Latte. The Misugaru Latte was a black sesame oat latte. It was on point and was delicious. the only thing I would order differently next time would to add another shot of espresso to it. I am not exactly sure but maybe because of the sesame and grain mix, the drink itself was a bit thicker. Don't let this deter you, order this latte. The Tiramisu lived up to the consistency and taste. Both lattes were not overly sweet and the coffee did shine.
We also ordered the GF Financier and I ordered an everything bagel with cream cheese. Now, I am a cream cheese lover and the amount of cream cheese was just what I wanted. Spot on for me!
Next time I'm back in KTown I will definitely be back.

Stay away from here if you're lactose intolerant and you want coffee or lattes!!!!! Everything has cream. Even if you go for non-milk alternatives, theyll add cream on the top. They dont offer to remove the cream either. And the drinks that dont have cream are mediocre and equally as expensive. Would you pay 8 bucks for an iced tea? The matcha is ceremonial grade but it's incredibly bitter and they dont balance put the flavors well at all. 8-9 bucks for a drink plus tip is insane.

They changed their portions on certain beverages and the cost is the same. I even asked one of the employees what happened and they didn't say anything. Im a local and have been to this spot a few times. Seems like a trend of providing small portions beverages at inflated costs. What a shame. Open Market is better!
