ALCHEMY

Lovely breakfast of scrambled eggs. The eggs were so tasty and yellow! Great coffee too and lovely sitting out the front, watching Leigh go by. A lovely healthy spot to eat! The fermented sides are excellent. Highly recommend.

My partner recently took me to Alchemy and what a fantastic breakfast we had! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, with a top notch selection of food & drink. I’ve always heard great things about this place, and it didn’t disappoint! My ‘Alchemy Avo’ came with golden kraut, toasted seeds & fermented chilli and it was 10/10! If you’re looking for a healthier alternative for breakfast & brunch, we can highly recommend this place!

Really highly recommend! The quality of ingredients and the care that goes into each plate really speaks for itself. The staff were so lovely and friendly despite being quite busy when we visited. Food is reasonably priced for what you get, and the coffee was amazing.

It' s been my first time today to visit ' Alchemy ' & I am sure not the last one. The place was busy. Luckily they had one table for 2 left. I loved absolutely everything I had ordered. My espresso was very good what is so hard to find in Southend on sea. I had hot smoked salmon with pickles, fermented pink kraut, dill & poached egg on a nice sourdough. They make kombucha & freshly squeezed juice on the premises.

Great experience. Beautifully presented food. Yummy. Chill atmosphere. Dog friendly. Couldn't ask for more. If you're going, fermented potatoes are a must-try!

The three times I’ve been here, it’s always been 5 stars for me. Great coffee, service, food and vibe. This plays combines great fermentation and pickling techniques in its menu to deliver an altogether different experience that you can’t really get anywhere else in Southend. I now want kimchi with my scrambled eggs always - but they make it themselves. Even when it’s busy, the wait isn’t too long. Recommend a stop here for brunch/breakfast. Looking forward to trying more of the menu!

Amazing coffee, had brunch, food has loads of flavour and you can tell they use good ingredients, the flaw I would say was that the sourdough bread slice was as bit over toasted which made it hard and with the knifes provided it was a bit irritating fighting with the plate to cut. Also, I was asked how the meal was once we had a finished I would of preferred during the meal as I would have definitely asked for another not so hard. All in all, I enjoyed it.

Nice little place to have a cup of coffee and a bite. The staff is very friendly and polite. You have view of the sea that makes it even more special. Nice coffee and good selection of sandwiches and desserts. If you beleive this review has been helpful for you, please don’t forget to press the 👍 button. Thank you.
