Alchemist Coffee Project The Cumulus
are T, Los Angeles, CA
Crema's Take
“This alchemist spot on La Cienega has cultivated a devoted following for its carefully executed matcha drinks and thoughtfully prepared coffee, with a particularly praised matcha einspanner that manages to be smooth and balanced without veering too grassy or overwrought. The La Cienega location pairs its specialty beverage program with surprisingly delicious food options and a genuinely work-friendly environment filled with power outlets and natural light, making it feel less like a caffeine pit stop and more like a place you'd actually want to settle in for hours.”
What to expect
Known for their pour-over program, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

One of my favorite coffee shops to go to now is this Alchemist spot by the Cumulus complex on La Cienega. The coffee and matcha selection is fancy and on point, and surprisingly food is delicious, from the baked selections (the bread pudding!) and truffle powder dusted open…
Could easily say it's my favorite Alchemist among the 3 now; beyond the gorgeous design, it's also a very practical space to work with plenty of seats occupied with power outlets! I could see lots of students would hangout here especially it resided in the apartment where I knew…
