Alchemist Coffee Project at The Pearl - Los Angeles, California

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.

Loved the atmosphere & staff! Super friendly and very beautiful space. Got the matcha einspanner & tiramisu latte, both were okay. Matcha tasted like water at first but then you start to acclimate to it when you mix in the sweet cream. Others agreed it was sort of grainy tasting. Tiramisu latte was better but still watery. Pastries on the other hand were amazing! We got the Dubai chocolate, chocolate macrons, caneles & a coffee crumb cake! Highly recommend any of those pastries they’re all so good! I’d give this place another chance if I’m in the area.

Fantastic sweet iced mocha latte. Ready fast. Good place to work on a laptop. Plenty of plugs at the big community table. Variety of types of seating ; which I love.

Although I didn’t enjoy my Latte, I didn’t order what I should have. Cannot fault a place for serving what I ordered knowing I probably wouldn’t like it. Either this isn’t a place for me and that’s okay or I did it wrong and need a redo. I hope the latter. This is a place for the adventurous spirit in all things. Coffee isn’t that thing for me. I have expectations borne from many travels and throughout them all, I don’t recall coffee being treated so very differently. Concoctions inspired by coffee is how I perceive Alchemy Coffee - and for that they do awesomely. I will try them again and again, experimenting with their wares and offerings until I find the correct concoction to suit my discerning tastes. Why? Because this is a place that puts effort into every aspect, from decor to drinks. It all works without an overly kitschy feel. Thus, I believe that Alchemy Coffee to be deserving the same effort from their patronage. Engage in culinary experiments and discern all that they have for yourself. Remember that you’ll not always order what you want and to adjudicate appropriately.

Hope to give a 5Star review in the future.

Cute place, decent coffee and food options. However, arrived at 11am and they were all out of bagels and croissants, which comprise about 2/3rds of their menu options. Was unable to get any of the food options I wanted. Maybe keep those things better stocked, huh?

Great place to start your day with. I’m not a big coffee person so i got the matcha einspanner which is a matcha latte with cream on top. So delicious! And everyone else in my friend group got coffee/lattes, they all love their drinks! They ordered another round of lattes for the day. The barista is also super nice and we felt welcomed.

Great space with very good coffee (the espresso I got in my last visit was from Onyx roasters). The service staff is chill, and they seem to have quite a few pastry options, including Roman maritozzo, which is very rare to find. 🤌🏼 The space is large enough to comfortably chill with a friend or get some work done, and they also sell merch which is pretty cool. Definitely a great coffee option in LA.
