Every drink I've had from here has been underwhelmingly mid. The baristas are also low energy/not friendly. The one redeeming thing this place has going is its esthetic. Looks great inside with lots of space and seating. But the overpriced drinks that fail to hit the mark and the unfriendly staff are what will push me towards the other great coffee shops in the area

It took us a little while to finally make it here, but it was worth the wait. Espresso is fantastic and served with a glass of sparkling water as it should. Service was friendly and quick. We'll be returning for sure!

My wife and I stopped in for a drink while we were visiting Indianapolis. We were staying nearby so it was a quick walk. We sat at the bar and Julian helped us. He was fantastic! The drinks were perfect and we had a delicious pepperoni pizza that hit the spot. I would definitely come back if we are ever back in Indy. Cool little spot!

We have some friends that have been here several times. They took us here last night. Love the vibe, live music, and the drinks are amazing! For sure one of my new favorite spots. Speakeasy vibes, which for whatever reason is rare in Indy! Looking forward to coming here many more times!

I just moved here and was SO excited to see there was a place I could walk to that did coffee and cocktails and stayed open late. Until I got there in the evening and was told (very nicely) that they won't serve you coffee in the evening. I didn't want a cocktail, I wanted one of their delicious lattes and a place to chill outside of my apartment. That upended my evening plans and I was so disappointed. I like this place a lot in general; if they would be willing to also do coffee later in the day they'd get another star. I love a good cocktail, but not all the time, and I used to be a barista/bartended at a place that did both all day, I know it's possible. Please reconsider, Alchemist!

The absolute best espresso martini I’ve ever had. Husband loved their spicy margarita. Can’t wait to go back

Julian was great! He made delicious cocktails but also took some time to chat with us and teach us about liqueurs.
They serve the drink with adorable coasters. I won’t say so I don’t ruin it. Espresso martini was 10/10 - just not big enough!

This is a lovely gathering space with AMAZING cocktails. I’ve heard the coffee is great too! Their non-coffee hot drinks, however, are not. I’m a tea drinker and I’ve tried so hard to love their teas and tea lattes but they’re just not good.

I cannot emphasize enough how amazing these cocktails are. It is very clear that Julian knows how to craft a spectacular cocktail, and conversation. You will feel very welcome in this moody, upscale, intimate environment. Highly recommend

Had a great experience here! Was lucky enough to see one of Indy’s greatest bartenders Julian! He was very knowledgeable and friendly as we were first time customers. Didn’t have a tone of time to stay for a longer experience but loved the Togo Americano. Very fresh and balanced drink. Will be back hope to see our guy Julian there again!
