Alchemist Coffee Project The Cumulus - Los Angeles, California

Avedon A.

Really if you’ve been to one Alchemist you’ve pretty much know the quality you’re going to get. It’s just the locations that change based on where they are.
This one is probably one of the more sterile looking ones given it’s in this big box cookie cutter condo complex called the Cumulus where somehow a sandblasted siding along a portion of the building makes it cloudy.

It’s impressive from afar but I’m not a fan of these cafes since pretty much all the residents live inside of them when they’re not in their apartments.
So if you’re coming to sit in you might find it hard because most of the tech bros and tech sis take up all seating.
You can park in the complex’s lot and get validated nearby.

I love the coffee and the different selections they have. My go-to order is the New Orleans Cold Brew, which I highly recommend. I have not tried the food, but the pastries, especially the strawberry croissant, are delicious. The environment is excellent, with nice music, clean restrooms, and lots of natural light. There is some nice outdoor seating in the little park as well. Easy parking is available in Whole Foods as the coffee shop validates with purchase. I love how they have a Cumulus District resident loyalty program with extra discounts. Shout out to Joe, the manager, for keeping things in tip-top shape and the entire team for always being such a friendly face to wake up to when getting coffee.

Their caramel latte with oat milk is the best I’ve ever tried! Most places struggle to make it as good as a latte with regular milk, but their oat milk latte makes you wanna order that instead! 100% recommend!!

Cappuccino was great! The ham & cheese croissant was good but it could be better if it was warmed up better. The insides were still a little cold.

I know this is tricky as I love ham and cheese croissants and they’re the hardest things to heat up coz you have to not burn the bread but also heat the ham and cheese inside.

The best way really is to use the bake function of an oven or an oven toaster. But that takes time. Usually 8-10 mins. And for a fast service cafe, that’s hard to do I guess 🙏🏼

solid coffee, not outstanding but def good, and the workers are sweet!
the place itself is pretty sterile and weird, not that cozy it’s part of an apt complex that makes sense the interior is pretty minimalist with no life haha.
more for the people that live there and want a place to work. i was the only one there not working on my laptop when i went.
they have a bathroom w a code you can ask for.

Great place to study with amazing drinks and food options! The star of the menu is definitely the Misugaru Latte 🥰

We just discovered this coffee shop in the area. It's cozy & bright with nice blends of different coffee options. My only con was the choice of music was bit loud and distracting.
