Shop is nice and cozy! Lots of grad students and young professionals. Atmosphere is awesome and clean at all times.

Great spot! Convenient location. Solid menu. Cool space for meeting a friend or doing some work. I love that they have matcha - and so many varieties ! I no longer drink coffee - matcha only - and it’s hard to find good quality delicious matcha / tea options. Big fan! Have been here a few times recently and highly recommend. Most recently I got a matcha latte and a croissant - both of which were very good.

Alchemy is my go-to coffee shop in the 20th & Sansom St. neck of the Philly woods. Their vanilla syrup is made in-house and is my favorite of all the coffee shops I venture to - and I venture to MANY coffee shops in the area. They also have a spinach pastry situation that is really good. The vibe is chill, service is quick and helpful, place is nice and clean as well. Five stars.

Great coffee. Multiple options of house made syrups. Good pastries as well (I think from Machine Bakery).

Place has big windows so plenty of natural light. Really nice cafe to hang around or get some work done.

Staff was very nice and patient as well.

They get the drinks very ready very quickly - was impressed by the speed.

Beans might be from Elixer or their own roast — saw both options in the retail section.

We came here with my wife today for coffee and a little snack. Both raisin snack and our coffees were good. The service was good as well. Toilet was clean and interior atmosphere is great. Good for working/studying for 2-3 hours. Parking is street parking so it is somewhat difficult unless you are lucky like myself. I can recommend this place.

terrible joke of a shop. no phone to call, no website, no mention anywhere of winter hours which close at 3. will never come here ever. save yourself the time and go directly to elixr because thats the coffee they serve here

Too bad I didn't get to spend too long here, but it was a nice spot for... using your laptop 😄 Prolly 8 out of 10 people were there with a laptop 😄 I think the latte and service were good, so, 4 ⭐ ish, but the space was clean and kind of sleek, maybe even bordering luxurious. I know it wasn't, but it gave me that vibe 🤣 so, 5 ⭐

Rich, flavorful coffee and clean, well-lit space with good music. The coffee cups are also so aesthetically pleasing!

I stumbled upon this cafe while driving through the city and I’m obsessed. The interior has a very minimal style, but the low ceiling makes it feel cozy. There’s limited seating though, so make sure to have a backup plan if you’re looking for a place to get work done. Now as for the coffee, I ordered the vanilla bean shakerato and I will be needing to go back ASAP to get another. It was the perfect amount of sweetness and the cold brew was delicious. I can’t recommend this place enough!!

Great little coffee shop. Friendly, fast, and high quality. Several flavor choices, all syrups are made in-house. They are even dog friendly and have a wall of pup customers!
