Alchemy Coffee

Coffee is good, and there’s not a ton of choice if you live on this side of Walnut. Service used to be better when they first opened. But now, you automatically get a lot of room with your coffee and an unreliable cup. Seems like it is staying in business because of the college students who study there.

Don’t get your coffee to go because the cups are so poorly designed that the coffee will seep through and ruin your pants before you get on a 6 hour train ride. Seriously how have they not gotten better cups??? Infuriating

Delicious and nice atmosphere!! Just the right amount of space. Love the shakerato - added brown sugar syrup and was worried it might be too sweet but was a great amount.

Alchemy Coffee is a gem in Philly! The coffee here is really good, and the baristas are super friendly. I visited during the summer, and after some time inside, it felt freezing (probably an American thing I am just not used to) but that didn’t take away from the experience. Definitely a spot I’d recommend for great coffee and a welcoming vibe.

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.
