We loved this little coffee shop. It definitely seems to be a study spot for local students. Most people were sitting and working with laptops. Beyond the inside seating, there are also tables outside to enjoy the weather. They also sell some pastries, health and wellness products, & swag. Delicious matcha latte.

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!

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.

Fab coffee spot, wish I lived closer! Stopped in for the first time today and the very friendly barista helped me decide what to order. I got an iced cappuccino with house made vanilla bean syrup and it was fantastic! Highly recommend! Not overly sweet or milky, but perfectly balanced. They have that clean and simple vibe inside and lots of tables but it was very busy with most seats taken. Service was very fast, I had my drink within a couple minutes of ordering it. I’d definitely come back to visit again!

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.

I had such a lovely experience here. Santiago and (my sincerest apologies for forgetting your name) the ethereal blonde angel, were both the sweetest and so friendly. I think it was a Sunday afternoon a few weeks ago, and them being so sweet just added joy to my day. I also had a delicious Americano. Would 10000% come back here, can’t wait to try a new drink ! It was also not super cramped or super busy where you couldn’t get around which is helpful

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.

Finally - a good cup of coffee. I had a hot latte with oat milk. Good flavor and served quickly. I sat outside to enjoy.
