The tiramisu latte was so delicious. I was hesitant because I don’t like sweet coffees, but this coffee was not sweet. The chocolate flavor was rich.
Great coffee, atmosphere and even better staff. They are passionate about coffee and will take the time to explain how to get the best quality brew at home.

The staff behind the counter was so nice and helpful - that can really make or break a coffee shop. I had an iced espresso with oat milk and it was good but nothing special. Onyx coffee is always a winner. The chocolate croissant was very fresh and toasty. The bakery items were all labeled with veg/vegan options. Parking was a bit annoying but that's LA, isn't it?

I had visited this Alchemist Coffee Project location a couple of times and the experiences were a bit different. The first time I got a delicious and beautiful cappuccino, and the second time a Duo Latte (latte + milk tea) that is syrupy in flavor and sloppy in presentation. Neither of the times the service was very warm.
The store is decorated in a weird, old-fashioned style with dated artifacts to reflect an alchemist's work. It simply doesn't work as a coffee shop. I think the Pearl shop has a much better vibe. With so many coffee shops in Koreatown, I don't feel looking forward to going back to this Alchemist location soon.

I went there and neither I got a ceramic cup nor latte art. Plus they only serve disposable tableware, which isn’t forward-looking. Quite pricy too. At least the cap tasted good.

Great coffee spot in K-town to hang out. If you like matcha, I recommend their Lavender Matcha Latte. So good! Great customer service and vibes all around. Definitely check this place out!

Food and service was okay. The stars is for the theme. They were out of a lot of things. I think the recommended drinks were over hyped and that made me set my expectations too high.

Great brew, good music & dope staff. I recommend the strawberry croissant! Egg Bat sandwich was delicious. Duo latte definitely packed a punch ????????

Located in K-Town, and formerly the site of Bourbon Street Café, Alchemist Coffee Project looks to compete with the likes of Intelligentsia, Blue Bottle and LA Mill by sourcing quality Beans from Onxy and serving them in a variety of temperatures as well as styles.
Still with NOLA bones, though inhabitants couldn’t be more “Los Angeles” if they were aspiring actors working as waiters, it was after perusing Pastries and brewing apparatus that a Cold Brew was selected, $5.50 for friendly service pouring a great cup of “the Elixer” featuring light sweetness and lingering floral notes.

Great selection of coffee and drinks, nice friendly service and good place to meet a friend or get some work done. We had Tiramisu Latte, Lavender Matcha and Mocha Latte and all were amazing.
