I would like to preface that I am in no way shape or form a coffee snob. Hell, when I did drink coffee, I would find the cheapest, most potent stuff to keep me tweaking out of my gourds. I came here to meet up a friend and their family, and I was glad I did.
Nestled in the once absolutely booming shopping center where the now defunct Regal (and seems like so many other places) is housed, Alchemist is a hidden gem, for coffee drinkers and study buddies alike.
I really like the interior here, dark, modern, sexy, and with a vageode wall in the counter. Speaking of the store, they support social distancing and mask wearing as well, complete with a screen to separate the patrons and employees.
The menu, looks like it has changed (at least in terms of the food offered). When you walk in, it appears to be a water bottle fridge in front of you, but they are actually empties of what I assume you put different types of cold brew in.
I decided to get a chicken pesto sandwich, and a strawberry snow drink. They said they would bring it out to me- as we decided to eat outside. The drink came out first, and they told me the sandwich would just be a few min. The drink, it was fluffy, not to sweet, but overall, I liked it a lot- not something you get to savor everyday! It even had whole fruit in it, so I can say it was healthy!
A few minutes later, the cashier came out to tell me that the panini press wasn't working, so I couldn't get the sandwich, I told him I wouldn't mind it cold but he insisted, so they refunded me the whole ticket. I felt bad since I didn't have cash to tip (since I did it on the card), but he insisted and was very apologetic. Needless to say, the customer service here is friendly. I will definitely have to come back.
If you want a different coffee shop to check out, I would tell you check it out for sure. They have food menu, but it looks like it changes often- but everything I have seen that they make looks oh so yum!
