The salad was chopped which I love in a salad. The candied pecans and maple pecan goat cheese on top were out of this world mixed with the cabbage, kale, and sweet potato squash was def an amazing bite. We added smoked salmon to it and it was just kind of the cherry on top of the Sunday if you will. Added avocado as well. If I had to say something negative, I'd say that the dressing to dry ingredients was off. It was a bit dry. But very yummy. The turkey tzatziki sandwich was SOOOOOOO good. Refreshing, and super flavorful. Loved the honey and the cucumbers with the micro greens feta spread, man of man did it hit the spot on all levels. We also had some of the pesto avocado toast and it was so yummy we ate it before we could snap a photo haha. I will say, it was a bit pricey for the relaxed setting vibe of the brand and decor, but you get what you pay for so it was high quality fresh ingredient's and it was certainly delicious.

I got the turkey tzatziki sandwich and it was FIRE. The girl working was really sweet, I ordered ahead and my order was ready on time. I don’t understand the bad reviews. If you’re in a rush, order ahead. If you want something cheap and fast, go to McDonald’s. I’m thankful there’s still health conscious places (not talking salads, I’m talking nitrates and cheap processed meats) despite the general public constantly complaining about wanting things cheap and fast. Definitely making this a regular lunch stop while I’m working around the corner :)

absolutely love the smoothie bowls here!! you order when you walk up and you can get this order to go or there is a decent about of seating options if you'd like to stick around. the staff was very kind and helpful when my friend was debating on what to get and the food comes out pretty fast as well. the place itself is super cute inside! highly recommend checking out alchemy!! there is also parking outside the cafe.

I hadn't been to Alchemy Cafe in probably 5 years. I went with my partner and friend from out of town for a light lunch. I had the Banh Mi, which was on great crunchy bread, had a bit of heat, lots of fresh micro greens, and was a generous portion. It was a bit pricey ($13) but most sandwiches are in the 10-15 range these days. Sign up for their rewards account when you pay to save money on subsequent purchases. My partner has the egg sandwich, which had a great sriracha mayo and fantastic focaccia style bread. It was also an excellent portion and a bit more affordable ($9.5). The pistachio matcha latte (that comes with oat milk) was flavorful but a bit sweet for our tastes. The best news is anyone who is dairy free or has a dairy allergy has a ton of options on the coffee/latte menu. No need to add the extra $1 or more for oat milk like other coffee shops. Overall, I enjoyed the freshness, portions, and friendly service we received and will definitely be back.

my second time at this location- service was not great not only were we not greeted upon walking but felt like a burden ordering. the ambiance feels worse almost like a corner store and did not have some of the menu options. the food was bland which was disappointing considering the price.

Love coming here for a short atmosphere change for studying. It's a cute environment that I can get with done in with gear drinks and food, outlets and WiFi so there's a lot going for me to study here. Smooth music! The food here though is really solid. I love their lox toast and avocado toast! The lox toast comes with avocado already! Their smoked Salmon on it is phenomenal and it's got that lovely crunch where it's still soft enough and not hard but has crunchy. my friends have gotten the egg sandwich which looks amazing and I was told was amazing and soft with that soufflé egg so I will def get that next time!

Normally a pretty standard smoothie bar for after the gym, but the past several times there have been errors to our order. No protein in our drink despite paying for it or simply the wrong smoothie. Proceed with caution.

I didn't have the smoothie bowl, so maybe that would have been redeeming, but I'd never return. The person taking my order didn't know the menu well and struggled to take my order. I got the avocado toast and I was shocked when I received one small piece of toast with essentially a thin layer of guacamole spread over it, red pepper flakes, and about 5 wilted microgreens on top. I ended up throwing it away after 1 bite and decided to eat somewhere else.

The egg sandwich is amazing!! When I say burst of flavor, it's so much flavor. The bread is fresh and you can tell, it's a beautifully toasted focaccia. The cashew cream is amazingly tasty. It brings the entire sandwich together and provides just the right amount of spice. The havarti is mild but still adds the extra depth needed for this sandwich to be perfection. And they picked the perfect veggie with the arugula. Its fresh, peppery, and pairs incredibly with all the other elements of this sandwich. I also got a smoothie and it's also fresh and equally balanced. I will most definitely be trying other things on the menu. I'm just upset I found it so late.

The person at the counter is always kind and has a sweet demeanor. Smoothies are always delicious and just what I need on the go.Parking: Sometimes you have to park a few rows away but it is understandable considering there is a gym and breakfast restaurant nearby.
Place was dirty, staff was rude, sandwich was good though. Way overpriced for an underwhelming experience. If your staff acts like they don’t want to be here, your customers won’t want to be here either!

Enjoyed the turkey bacon Cesar sandwich today. The ciabatta bread had very nice texture. Turkey was very good with toppings that made the sandwich savory! Staff was very polite and helpful. Definitely will return. A very short walk from nationwide children's.

The food can add up quick especially if you get al a carte items, however everything there was simply top tier food

My younger adult health-conscious daughter & her like minded husband asked me to meet them here for brunch on a Monday late morning before flying back to their home. My daughter had been eagerly awaiting this first visit to Alchemy after hearing of good reviews. I, on the other hand, had glanced at the menu online & honestly was a bit less eager but still willing. Well, I'm sure glad I kept an open mind! It was delicious! The Earl grey tea with crushed black raspberries & almond milk was perfectly warm & smooth with an occasional surprise of berry tang & was just simply amazing! (However I must add; my brother & his family run a family dairy farm in Southeastern Ohio so I personally cannot freely promote the purchase nor the consumption of any milk other than fresh cow's milk from Ohio! :) haha but seriously, yay for Shaw Farms in Stockport, Ohio) anyhoo, the sandwiches were made on freshly baked bread & were absolutely delicious with the locally fresh produce. There's seating available inside & outdoor patio seating facing the parking lot. Unfortunately it had rained so we ate inside. Tables and chairs were clean (& so were the restrooms) and the atmosphere was colorful, comfortable & quiet with soft music. The three of us were able to comfortably enjoy our nice conversation with the freshly prepared food & drinks as a trickled-stream of customers were quickly in and out with take out orders. What a nice surprise with Alchemy! I'm sure we'll be back!

The amount of meat on the sandwiches is not equal to the cost. Paying for a lot of bread. Clean space and service was friendly.
