It’s a puzzling esthetic but as I sat down, enjoyed my coffee, and took into the actual vibe of the coffee shop, I kinda got it. Sitting inside, I felt I was outside a coffee brewery on a cloudy sad day. The 80’s music playing definitely made me reminisce of Midwest rainy days with little to no sun. I appreciated it more the more I put my head up and looked around instead of on my phone. I got a vanilla type iced espresso (einsplainer sp?) with focaccia prosciutto small plate. Both were tasty and added to my experience in the shop.
Koreatown’s been buzzing lately, with trendy restaurants and coffee shops popping up all over the place. We’ve hit up a bunch of the popular spots around here, but on a recent visit through the neighborhood, we stumbled across The Alchemist, a super chic coffee shop. I grabbed a matcha latte, and it was solid—smooth, not overly sweet, just how I like it. They’ve got a tempting lineup of pastries too, though I didn’t try them this time. The vibe? Awesome. The place was packed with people chatting and soaking in the lively atmosphere. Service was friendly and quick, which sealed the deal. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you’re in K-town!
I was back in town visiting a friend. On our last morning we decided to grab some coffee and maybe a croissant for the ride home. The space was very open, clean, and a great place to come in with your laptop and get some work done while drinking your coffee. The cashier was friendly and answered all of our questions and I was also trying to find a gluten free option for food for my wife. We wanted to try a few items on the menu. We ordered the Misugaru Latte and the Tiramisu Latte. The Misugaru Latte was a black sesame oat latte. It was on point and was delicious. the only thing I would order differently next time would to add another shot of espresso to it. I am not exactly sure but maybe because of the sesame and grain mix, the drink itself was a bit thicker. Don't let this deter you, order this latte. The Tiramisu lived up to the consistency and taste. Both lattes were not overly sweet and the coffee did shine. We also ordered the GF Financier and I ordered an everything bagel with cream cheese. Now, I am a cream cheese lover and the amount of cream cheese was just what I wanted. Spot on for me! Next time I'm back in KTown I will definitely be back.
I guess people like this coffee shop because it looks different than a Starbucks. I just had their large ice americano and it tasted a bit sour. Usually this means that the brew was too short lived. There were many folks studying and doing work on their devices and the shop provides Wi-Fi and many power outlets. I guess for Koreatown it is better than average for those who want a quiet place to work. Parking is bad since it is downtown area. Drinks are about 20% more than your Starbucks drinks.
Got their coffee twice before. My partner really likes the tiramisu latte and the creme brûlée latte. I’m not necessarily a fan of the coffee or the matcha einspeinner. It’s decent/but not memorable for the price. The matcha tasted watery at first and didn’t really taste like anything until the last 2 sips, only the remnants tasted creamy.
