    This location was so cute and a little hidden imo. I got the matcha latte and it was really good. I had accidentally ordered the cloud one with espresso the first time and they helped me get the right order after. The service was friendly and the matcha was flavorful and not too sweet. Definitely will be back to chill here cause the space was nice and looked like it had a lot of seating.

    Top notch coffee spot in downtown Duluth, this cafe blends thoughtful design with a comfortable atmosphere and while equally artistic to the other location they have a new style all to its own. The entrance gives the feeling of walking into a hidden speakeasy, adding to its charm. The interior features a sleek yet inviting industrial aesthetic, and once inside, the space feels much larger than expected. I love the counter that mirrors the height and feel of an Italian espresso bar, instantly bringing me back to Italy and adding to the experience, which has an artistic mood that feels both intentional and authentic. The coffee is excellent with a well-curated menu. While I am not a huge sweets fan, the croffle was a great choice. Drinks all solid but the Dutch cold brew is a personal favorite, smooth, bold, and expertly crafted to highlight the beans flavor. This location is a fantastic addition to the Alchemist Coffee family, which I hope continues to expand even more. A great addition to the area!

    Beautiful interior

    Absolutely amazing coffee, tea, and croffle! What's a croffle? See my picture to find out but it's good! Have been here 3 times so far and love it. Located right below Maple Street Biscuit in Downtown Duluth this location is a welcome addition to a bustling and happening community. Owned by some of the nicest people in the city of Duluth, Sarah and Michael Park have given so much to the city of Duluth and beyond. It's nice to support such an awesome family and all the more awesome since their product is such high quality and delicious! The space is comfortable and well designed. I live a ways off from this location but will be happy to stop by whenever I'm in the area or feeling like some high quality coffee or tea or grapefruit ade and a pastry to pair it with. Parking can be a little daunting but is actually quite simple if and once you are familiar with downtown Duluth. There are a few 15 minutes spots directly in front of the cafe and there are two parking lots within walking distance. I heard on weekends there's additional parking available nearby. 5 solid stars easily and two thumbs up! Thank you to the owners and staff for running a tip top operation.

    Passion Fruit Tea and the Alchemist Latter
    Nghia V.

    This is not your typical coffee shop. It's more of an espresso bar that specialized in perfecting the art of coffee brewing. We got to try various types of drink and my favorite is the alchemist latte (iced) while the dutch latte was very smooth, the additional shot of espresso gave it a more bold body. The dutch latte was very smooth and easier to drink. But I believe there is more caffeine content in the dutch latte. The Passion fruit tea may seem very simple but it's one of my favorite to clean my palette so I can enjoy my latte anew every-time. The black tea is very subtle and not strong so there's no bitter aftertaste. We also love the honey croffles that is crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The decoration is definitely a hip place and not your typical morning brunch coffee shop. I cannot wait for their grand opening to try their full menu.

    Having been to Alchemist in Alpharetta, and finding out there's one in Duluth, I thought it would be the perfect time to go with a friend to catch up and study. It's located next to Maple Street and on the side of a building (kinda hidden), and right by a parking lot so it's convenient to walk like 50 steps to get there. The inside is kinda dark, and drinks are similarly priced to the one in Alpharetta. I haven't been to the other one in so long, so I can't compare much but their drinks didn't take too long and staff was friendly. They'll either call out your drink or bring it to you! There's enough tables to bring friends and family or even just yourself, and perfect place to get some work done or catch up with a friend. Just be aware that it can get loud at times, but nonetheless I'm happy they have a closer location to me.

    Caramel Cloud and Moka Cloud
    Diana S.

    This place needs more reviews as it is phenomenal!!! I have been here twice and it is crazy good. Tucked away in downtown Duluth it is one of the nicest coffee shops I have been to. It is behind the Maple Biscuit Company. The shop has a nice charm when you walk in and man is it nice and cool in there especially after coming in on a 90 degree day. The interior has really nice lighting and is very pretty imo. Both times the service was always wonderful. They are very helpful and also patient when perusing the menu, because there is a lot to choose from. I usually have my go to classics, but here, I am cool with trying different things. Their coffee is YUMMY!!! It reminds of the coffee in Miami (which quite possibly has the best coffee) so this place definitely measures up. I ordered the caramel cloud which is exactly what you would have expected. The coffee was so chocolaty and smooth and the cold foam on top with caramel was just the perfect sweetness. They have a pastry case and I have seen they make croffles (a mix of croissant and waffle) but have yet to try it (don't worry I will). There is a tiny lot in back that fills up pretty quick but you can also park in the public parking area for downtown Duluth and walk. It isn't very far and it is free parking. If you are ever in downtown Duluth and need a caffeine fix (or even a juice or an herbal tea) PLEASE check them out. Much better than your local Starbucks for sure.

    The service was impeccable and was brought directly to my table with a smile. The flat white with almond milk was balanced with a hint of sweet without any sweetener added which was simply delicious. Ambiance is cheerful and relaxing within the dark industrial setting. The mellow jazz or classical background music creates a cozy feel. This is a great place to get work done.

    It was my first time ordering from them on DoorDash, and I tried their signature omurice with…read moreKorean-style fried chicken skewers -- I was pleasantly surprised! When I opened the omurice, the rich egg and cheese aroma covered the entire dish, and every spoonful of rice was full of flavor. The sweet and tangy fried chicken skewers were also delicious. I also tried their mandu (beef dumplings) -- juicy and full of savory flavor. The second time, I ordered the Alfredo pasta, which had a strong creamy aroma and an addictive white sauce flavor. The only downside was the portion -- it was a bit small and disappeared too quickly!

Surprisingly, craving this got me to come back a second time. The Fire Chicken Omelette Ramen had the same presentation, but Buddok ramen instead of sushi rice. Disappointing, because I could have just made Buddok ramen at home. The Schewan noodles were not spicy nor tasty. Takoyaki was good, on a bed of potato fries. Would order again. For the Beef Bulgogi Cheese Fries, the bulgogi is good, the fries are not. These fries are from the frozen section at Costco, make no mistake. They are bland, 2/5 star fries. Even if the bulgogi was on top of better fries, the bulgogi is dry and the cheese on it isn't melty or saucy, so the fries and the topping don't mix together well. Just a pile of dry food.

The Second Level / Upper Floor is reserved for if you are going to be ordering/dining in for the pastas and/or savory foods. I only tried their coffee today on the first level. I did go upstairs to check it out and did see a bunch of people upstairs just sitting and chilling on their laptops with their coffees/drinks; so they may not really enforce their "reserved for pasta dining only" rule. Not sure. Ambiance (First Level / First Floor) - clean, nice, laid-back, chill, cool environment. Casual setting. Cool architecture, design, layout, and decor. Can get loud inside as ceilings are high and can get echo-y, especially if there are alot of people. Also, there is music constantly playing in background. Service (First Level / First Floor) - customer service was quick and straightforward. They were nice and polite. A+. No complaints here. Coffee (First Level / First Floor) - tried their "Korean Iced Coffee" for $7.25. It was one size only and one price at $7.25. It was delicious. Almost similar tasting to a Vietnamese coffee in my opinion (both are delicious). That strong, brewed coffee flavor with this delicious milky, sweetened condensed milk taste. I am not exactly sure if they used sweetened condensed milk in the Korean iced coffee, but it sure does taste similar to it. It's quite good. Also had a "Large Hazelnut Hot Coffee" with creamer for $5.95. It was okay. Total with tax for the two drinks was $13.99. Keep in mind that the WiFi is on your receipt as a QR Code at the bottom. So if you want to use the WiFi, ask for the receipt and/or keep the receipt so that you can scan the QR Code in order to use the WiFi. There was no password on the receipt, only a QR Code that you need to scan. Overall - Yes I would recommend this place for a nice little coffee stop. Check it out for yourself. Enjoy!

    One of my favorite cafes in Duluth! They have a big tea latte selection, which is so helpful…read more(because sometimes a girl just wants a tea and not a coffee, you know?) I've tried a variety of their drinks, and my go-to is the Strawberry Earl Grey latte. It's SO GOOD. Nothing is overly sweet, and the tea flavor really shines. My brother likes the mango matcha and my cousin always goes for the vanilla earl grey latte (coffee) or the pistachio latte. We also enjoy their sandwiches too. Would definitely recommend this place! They have a little punch card, where your 10th drink is free, and the owner is so nice! There's waves of people coming and going, but it's not constantly super packed like other places. It's not the biggest place, but you can find seating, and it's a nice place to get stuff done. I wish I could gatekeep this place, but I also want them to be successful. Go try them out!

    Summary: Great coffee, calm study cafe, just a bitter experience due to the owner…read more Black Sesame Ice Cream Latte: Yummy!! Would order again in a heartbeat. It's a couple scoops of ice cream with espresso. Pumpkin Spiced Latte: Was good but nothing outstanding. Peanut Butter Cream Einspanner (Iced): Peanut butter cream was good, but once you mix the drink together the peanut flavor is lost. If you like the darker bolder coffee taste, this is a good one to try. Vibe: Music is always upbeat and peaceful, mostly a calm study cafe but some people grab and go. Service: On my first visit I was offered a stamp card. 10 stamps, and your next item is free. The owner is always there and is very welcoming and polite, but it's only for the sake of business. It's not genuine friendliness or care for customers. When I picked up my PSL, I immediately noticed the cup was too light. I ordered a large and there was at least 1.5 inches of space between the fill line and the rim of the cup. Why pay extra for a large if I'm getting served a small? Given that the drink was prepared by the cafe owner herself, I would have been embarrassed to serve a customer such a drink. My other complaint is that I'd visited 3 times in the past two weeks, sat in the cafe for at 3+ hours each time, and was in a rush to attend a important zoom meeting, and planned to order after my meeting was over. 30 mins in, I was actively speaking on the video call when the cafe owner interrupted me to say that I couldn't sit without ordering a drink. So many parts of me want to justify her behavior, maybe she's anxious about the cafe not making enough money - but given that she has seen me before and I was actively speaking - that rubbed me the wrong way. I was beginning to feel comfortable at the cafe but that moment made me hesitant to return. If this hadn't happened, I would have considered this a 5/5 star establishment and found a go-to study spot.
