"Alchemy Coffee truly does manage to transform a humble bean into something golden. We’re speaking figuratively—the coffee is as rich and black as you can hope for. But the experience is that special blend of magical and scientific, with a variety of brewed coffee drinks using an array of methods and contraptions that you can’t help but find impressive. Whether you’re just stopping by for some fuel or you feel like digging deep with a cupping session, Alchemy is a respectable choice for the coffee-curious." - Mobelux

Came in on a Saturday morning and was happily greeted by the barista. I got a tumeric latte, a breakfast burrito, and 2 croissants. Everything was delicious! The burrito seemed to be just heated up so I was skeptical at first, but it was very flavorful and filling! The chocolate croissants are phenomenal and not too flaky. Very cozy atmosphere and didn’t get busy until around 11:30. For those complaining about parking in reviews, it’s Richmond city…on broad st… nothing to do with this business…get over yourselves!

Amazing local coffee shop. Service was amazing, the decor and theme is on point. They serve a delicious chai. It’s authentic, spicy (I’m tasting some ginger), and flavorful. There’s some couches and a lot of tables/chairs for studying or lounging. I wish they had a cup sleeve lol.

Subtle jazz music showers this sunny coffee shop on Broad. We were welcomed in with a smile, the register attendant was eager to offer suggestions and explain any menu options. We selected a Dirty Chai and a Lord Bergamond British Brunch tea which came out quickly, the warmed cinnamon bun soon followed, it's interior was flaky, buttery, and the frosting provided a balanced sweetness, simply delectable!

Great spot to enjoy a nice coffee after my morning classes. I love all the swag in the shop, but I got an everything bagel and a coffee… super expensive… for a college student I guess it’s expensive, but I can’t blame them because obviously prices have gone up so much in the last couple years. But it just wasn’t that great, I could buy a whole sleeve of bagels at the market and make it just the same for like $4 for 5 of them.. The staff was pretty nice.. not fantastic.. i’ve been in here before, but I might’ve just got a disgruntled employee this day. Pretty disappointed, but it’s hit or miss. I would still recommend this place for a coffee, not the food though.

Absolutely delicious pastries, we had one apple and one cheese Danish. My caramel latte was hot and very tasty. I love how the had hot chocolate for my 10 year old daughter. They made the foam on top beautiful! The service was good and they were very knowledgeable about their menu items. I had never been there before so I asked a lot of questions. They happily answered them. I will definitely be visiting again.

Atmosphere is wonderful. Employees were both very kind and polite. The cafe itself is very clean and tidy and I always find new things to look at! The caramel latte was amazing! A really great treat to come by and visit.

Barista was very nice, atmosphere was lovely, I enjoyed the live plants and list of all the coffee companies they work with. The coffee - iced mocha, was wonderful. And the pulled pork burrito was really good too, exceeded expectations for sure.

Wonderful place to grab some coffee and snacks. The staff is really friendly and awesome! Alchemy manages to be upscale, welcoming and a little cozy at the same time. The coffee is delicious. Definitely a place that you wish you had in your area.
