Alchemy Coffee & Bake House

Alchemy is a one-of-a-kind coffee shop! Artisanal, high-quality, and always presented with care, you certainly won’t find a superior cup anywhere else in Lawrence. Alchemy was the first place I ever tried a draught coffee. It’s phenomenal! Their new downtown location is spectacular, and that expanded space was much needed. If you’re a serious coffee drinker like myself, do not miss an opportunity to visit Alchemy!

A quick stop in to get out of the cold and my wife loves the coffee. I get the benefit of sharing an awesome giant peanut butter kiss cookie. What a treat and great place to visit!

This place is fantastic! I was waiting for a table at Limestone Pizza - which is next door - and I went in with my family for a drink. There is beer, wine, mixed drinks, and of course, coffee. The is also a selection of pastries and other foods. Great menu and awesome atmosphere!

Alchemy is hands down my favorite coffee house. If you are a coffee lover, enthusiast, fanatic, connoisseur, savant, or if you are just a casual coffee enjoyer you will love Alchemy. They take the time to understand how to bring out the best in the beans to make a purely delicious product. Whether you enjoy a pour over, an espresso, some cold brew, or just a classic drip press you will be thrilled with your drink. Oh, and as if fantastic coffee wasn't enough, they've got a world class bakery that serves up creative morsels daily that will never let you down.

I have never been disappointed at Alchemy and will forever stop in any time I'm in Lawrence area.

Wishing I lived in Lawrence after eating here. I'd eat breakfast here as much as possible! Excellent food and at a good price. Pic is of their everything bagel breakfast sandwich, and the Alchemist, cold brew with dark chocolate almond milk. 😋

This breakfast bagel sandwich is equal or better to what I’ve tried in NYC. The dark and stormy is a perfect coffee drink. I’m a scone girl and this one was off the charts. I’ve followed this place since it was in a very small space and Absolutely love how they have expanded. The interior is beautiful, so lucky to have this in Lawrence! It’s so convenient to have table service and a counter if you want something quick. Sending love!!

Friendly staff, they’re trying to be a restaurant now which is cool if that’s what you want. They close at 2 even though it doesn’t say it online or on the front of the store. Also asked for honey in my coffee, they gave me a tiny cup of milk instead? Not sure about that. Still a very cute atmosphere. Not upset, lots of room to improve!

How this place could ever get anything less than 5 stars is beyond me.
The owners are delightful with their cute kids. What wonderful people!
The coffee and tea is incredible. The cold brew is a must try for anyone. It's done better than any other cold brew I've had. The rest of the coffee including the pour over is yum and done right to bring out the flavors of the bean.
The tea is potent in a good way. You are better than safe ordering just about anything here.

This is the original Alchemy location. It's expensive but totally worth it.

My girlfriend and I stayed with some friends who live nearby for a few days while we were in between apartments last summer. I could not live within walking distance of this place. I would spend all of my money here.

Parking is limited, but workable if you know what to look for. The space is small and the ambiance is smart and modern. There are only a handful of seats, but the options do not feel limited. My go-to was a large cold brew with dark chocolate almond milk and whatever pastry looked the most scrumptious that day.

The little garden area to the west of the entrance is so cute and feels so intimate! It's the kind of place where you can find a restful moment in nature before heading to work. Though I have had my share of rogue bee/wasp/hornet encounters in this beautiful sitting area.

The people who work here are nice and do a good job of judging how much interaction I'm down for in a given morning. This is the kind of place where silence with the barista feels natural and easy.

I remember going to the first Alchemy location very often for their cold brew. I am glad that they now have a bigger place on Mass. They’ve got really nice coffee, a good drink selections and pastries with seasonal specialties too. I just wish the weather was a little warmer so I could order a cold brew, theirs is one of my favourites.

Best Pour over coffee and lovingly crafted treats in Lawrence. Their cold brew is also top notch. Premium pricing for premium goods. If you desire a great cup of coffee and a treat like a muffin or cookie take the time to hit Alchemy. The baked goods are always rotating so check back in for new tastes.

First visit. I had a pour-over coffee that used some delicious beans that tasted like a mix between pineapple and vanilla. May be the best coffee I've ever had. Inviting atmosphere with friendly employees and relaxing music. Conversation can get loud though. My only gripe is that I wish it was bigger.

Best coffee shop and bakery I've ever been to by a long shot. The attention and knowledge that Ben and Joanie bring to their crafts are beyond. There is a constantly rotating selection of perfectly roasted beans from ethical sources. Their pour overs are a must. You should definitely give their draughts a taste, too. The baked goods are far above any other bakery anywhere. Joanie also makes cakes to order that are incredible. Try the lemon. I can't recommend this place enough.

Oh boy oh boy. Alchemy has a beautiful setup. It has a warm, well lit, cozy and friendly atmosphere. The entire building is a gorgeous site, and you could spend hours admiring the well trained staff create drinks and baked goods. The coffee and food will speak for themselves, but I highly encourage you to take some time out of your busy day to enjoy yourself at this lovely coffeeshop. Plus, they have beer! What's not to enjoy? 6 stars.

Excellent coffee (try the cold brew) and the all the baked goods are phenomenal. I ordered my wedding cake and cupcakes from the owners and they were superb, garnering many compliments on both taste and presentation.

A great spot in mass street to get a nice well crafted latte! So glad they moved and expanded.

Amazing! I had the black walnut iced latte- incredible flavor! The everything bagel was also very delicious, like the homemade bagels I had as a child :) The customer service was great, friendly and patient peeps! Thanks y’all <3

Oh. My. God. This place is freaking amazing!! Okay, it's hipsterlandia, as hipster as you can get in Lawrence, KS but the baristas were super cool and friendly.
Roscoe the bartender/barista was genuinely friendly and professional. He never stopped moving behind the bar.
They make their own syrups and liquid concoctions for their drinks and cocktails.
The back of the joint looks like a baking laboratory and the music is off the hook.
A+++ all the way. 5:03 pm 8.4.18
My fancy iced tea was bomb ass, why isn't this place closer to us?
Ps. The bathrooms are cool AF. 😎

This mom & pop café is first rate. The baked goods by mom Joni are delicious. The gourmet coffee selected by pop Ben are awesome. Cold brew coffee on tap. Varieties from many countries with sophisticated notes on each. Come often as the bakers vary the fare.

Amazing cinnamon rolls!!! The staff and environment were so friendly and inviting!! It was clean, the lighting was soft, but not for, just cheerful. I'm not a coffee drinker and I will be thrilled to return!!!!
