I seriously crave alchemy at least once a week. My favorites are the ferocious fig smoothie, hemp pesto sandwich and curried chickpea salad. You always leave feeling satisfied and never feel guilty about what you ate. They need to open more locations. read more

Love this place! Quick, healthy breakfast or lunch in the neighborhood. Staff is always pleasant and the quality of the food does not disappoint. read more

I'm not sure what took me so long to finally make the trek ALL the way past downtown to try this place out, but it was a mistake! I also totally missed that it is right next door to the Crest! I decided to make this a detour for a quick bite to eat during a bike ride, which was perfect! It was a nice quick ride off of the path and very easy to find. I ordered the avocado toast since I've heard amazing things about it.. And it was delicious! I also ordered one of the smoothies (I was burning calories biking!) and it was absolutely fantastic! They also have a selection of energy balls and fresh juice, which come in smaller containers than the other local juice bars that I have been to, which is kind of nice. I will need to make it back soon to get a few bottles of juice and try some more of the smoothies that looked good. Definitely a new favorite! read more

Good food but the service for carry out is slooooww. They seem to process orders as they are ticketed instead of prioritizing people waiting. It's like they've never worked in food service. read more

I order a dragonfruit smoothie and a caprese Florentine sandwich which I added avocado to. It was decent nothing to write home about. The smoothie wasn't well blended as I had large chunks of fruit remaining in the bottom of my cup. It also lacked sweetness and needed a touch of honey. I wouldn't go out of my way to purchase food here. Total with my two items $18. read more

SOOOO GOOD. They used to have an amazing purple magik CBD smoothie which was my absolute favorite (bring it back!!!) All in all, they have the best treats around, all while focusing on clean eating and health. Love coming here after a yoga class. read more

I tried this place after getting into juicing and eating clean. First off the ambiance is very clean and crisp. It felt very modern. Because I don't get down to this side of town often I decided to try a few items. The first thing I tried was the Banana cacao avocado acai bowl. It was really good, in fact it was so good I make them for breakfast everyday now.There was a lot of textures as well which made it interesting to eat but in the best way. I also tried the curried almond Brussels sprouts. I am a big lover of Brussels sprouts so this caught my eye. It was savory and sweet and very flavorful. Lastly I had to try a juice. I tried the easy beet and was very happy with my decision. My best friend who hates most vegetables really enjoyed my juice. I wish this was closer to where I live but I will be back and often. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a fresh and healthy spot. read more

Delicious juice at a fair price. I just wish they offered more of a selection!

I'm sorry to say how disappointed I was recently. Went there for a weekday lunch. Got a puny lunch meat sandwich, a side (less than two bites of beans), and a smoothie, for $15 + tip. Yes, this cost almost $20. At half the price, I still wasn't impressed enough to go back. The ambience consists of chairs and tables strewn about the lobby of a fitness club. Parking is free and convenient, in a lot. I hope they figure out their business model, because fresh, healthy fare is much needed in their locale. read more

I was treated to lunch here because the co-owner/chef is a friend of a friend but that notwithstanding, I think this is a great little place to grab a quick snack or bite to eat! We came here around 11:30am on a Sunday and I was happy to see that, even though there were definitely people around, it wasn't packed at all. The line was short and moved quickly. It's attached to a gym so I can see how it could get real busy at certain times of day. Even though our food and juices were on the house, I have to say the prices are really fair. The 8 oz juices are only $5 (compared to other juice bars this seems to be a better deal!) and there are a LOT of options- I tried a basil, orange, grapefruit one that was really yummy as well as a watermelon, agave, strawberry one with chia seeds that was super tasty! Their bowls are around $8 and are a really generous portion of smoothie and toppings. We tried one of their most popular ones that had blueberry smoothie on the bottom and topped with granola, banana, coconut and goji berries- it was really cool and refreshing! I had one of their almond milk iced coffees, and their cold brew is really delicious (my friend got their macha green tea latte and really enjoyed it too). I ordered their bbq jackfruit sandwich (most of their sandwiches also seemed to be around $8) and, as a vegetarian, it's the closest I have come to a pulled pork sandwich in a really long time! The crunchy slaw on top really made it. And the little side salad their sandwiches come with has a really great dressing on it too FYI. The major star of the lunch, and the thing I would absolutely come back for if I lived in Columbus (and have since tried to copy at home) is their avocado pesto toast- it's so simple, just a piece of toast with avocado, house made pesto and hemp seeds, but it was AMAZING. (It's $3.50 for a slice of their toasts, they have a bunch of different ones, but if you go you must get it- totally worth it.) read more

This is by far my fave juicery. I get the beet juice, mango lassi smoothie and pesto avocado toast. I've tried the charcoal lemonade which is decent. Great place, really dope living art, service isn't the fastest, but the staff is friendly, so it's def worth the wait. Cheers. read more

Love getting my breakfast from here! The donuts are always so fun!

Got two smoothies here last week. I think it's obvious the quality of ingredients are very high--and that is reflected in the cost. I ended up spending $16 for two smoothies, which were likely both about 16 fl oz. I think they are near the top of the smoothie field in regards to price. Which is totally fine if you're into quality. Which I am. The associate who took my order was very knowledgeable about the menu and really helped me to identify what I would like on the menu. Also she made me feel at ease with my uncertainty about a couple of the protein add- ins, read: spirulina, an algae protein supplement. The space is very futurist, minimalistic and cool. I think the smoothie consistency was just a touch too thick. I would attribute that to the business being new and fine-tuning the kinks out. Overall a good experience and i look forward to future patronage. Recommend. read more

Love their juice as well as their albacore sandwhich, acai bowls, avocado pudding and quinoa salad. It would be 5 stars however they used to have high chairs and then they got rid of them. When I asked one of the women working why she stated that they no longer had room and that not a lot of families or people with kids came there and that it was mostly college kids. Every individual I see come in is either late 20's or older. The gym above is very nice and definitely not in the budget of most college kids. read more

I absolutely love Alchemy and the food! The pesto avocado toast is delicious and I love all of the good dessert food! I was helped by a girl named Marina and she was super awesome! I definitely recommend alchemy to anyone that wants a healthy, quick option for any meal! read more

After living in California for a little under two years, I was really missing clean eating and was so happy I found this juice bar + cafe just 10 minutes from OSU's campus. The juice bottles are small, but the juice I had (dragonberry lemonade) was simple and delicious. I hope to try one of the green juices next time. What I liked most about this cafe was that it isn't 100% vegan--you can still get meat here! My roommate and I ordered the caprese and tuna sandwiches and shared with each other. They were pretty big sandwiches and priced pretty fairly for the variety of fresh, organic ingredients and amount of protein (in the tuna's case) in them. I just wish the juices were a little bigger because it seems like a waste of a glass bottle for the little amount of juice that goes in. Maybe start a discount/ recycling program for returned bottles? read more

Alchemy Café - Caprese and tuna sandwich with dragonberry and cayenne lemonade! - Cafes Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I have been wanting to try this place for a while and was so thrilled to get the chance this past weekend. My boyfriend and I went here for breakfast while we were in Columbus and it was the perfect, light breakfast. We both thoroughly enjoyed the variety of toasts. I got the carrot hummus option and the hummus was so good that I wish I could have bought it in a big tub! There is a gym attached to the restaurant as well if you are interested in working out before grabbing your toast/bowl/smoothie! read more

Alchemy is very nice and refreshing. It is a great spot to get something to eat and drink after a workout class or yoga. I have tried the mango lassi, black bean burger, pesto avocado toast, pb and j toast, avocado toast and blueberry almond butter acai bowl. My favorite items out of these are the mango lassi smoothie and pesto avocado toast. The mango lassi smoothie is very creamy and has a sweet banana taste. The pesto avocado toast has great flavor and is a good addition to your meal. I was not a huge fan of the black bean burger - it did not have much flavor. The acai bowls are good but deceivingly filling. You really have to love the taste of your bowl because it takes a long time to eat it. I took off one star because alchemy is pretty pricey. For example, one small smoothie costs $7. Good place for a snack, but if you plan on eating a meal here it gets expensive. read more

I just paid 30$ for 2 grass sandwiches and a couple sand shakes. I guess as long as the liberal college kids are around with their parents credit cards maybe they'll stay in business. Get a ninja blender and blend up your own kale for $2 read more

HOLY COW. This food is incredible. Sometimes being vegan results in less choices but driving through from CO to VT I was lucky enough to find this place and am beyond thankful for nutritious food that I can take on the go. The fact that they make online ordering a breeze, so I knew exactly how long my pit stop was going to take, was even more appreciated. I've only dug into their homemade beet kraut with carrot hummus toast but I can only expect that my curried chickpeas and bbq jackfruit will be just as exceptional. read more

This is a great place for healthy fresh foods, smoothies and bowls. Columbus has a variety of great restaurants and good food to select from. Thank the farmers, the land and the good food system for allowing great places such as Alchemy to thrive. read more

Popped in on a whim. The front sign caught my eye so I had to investigate. It's attached to a gym which is pretty run of the mill but they operate independently of the gym. So I didn't feel pressured to go gym when all I wanted was a smoothie. Their flavors and different options where unique. I tried the tropical green. Which was spinach banana pineapple and almond milk. Every option on the menu had a veggie in it. I didn't see anything strawberries which I would have preferred but what I order was good. They also have salads and sandwiches. Everything is made to order so it's good. read more

ugh, I can't get enough of Alchemy and I need to stay away for the sake of my wallet. Every time I come by I try something new and my favorite changes. Such high quality ingredients to make such delicious smoothies and juices. I feel really good every time I leave here. read more

Horrible service on Saturday at 11:30am. If you want to lose all of your customers, then this crew should work all of the time. Mostly standing around not caring about the customers waiting. And your drinks have gone downhill lately, too. Never a consistent selection of ready-made juices and shots. Seems like you are cheaping out on the lattes and smoothies, too -- do you now use water as filler? read more

This is the perfect spot for a post workout snack, meal, coffee, etc...they are also open fairly early in the morning so a decent spot for coffee and breakfast. Everything is uber hipster and healthy, however do not be turned away by that and try to avoid their busy hours, the wait can get a little long. Now if they could only serve healthy beer? read more

The food, location, and overall aesthetic were awesome! The smoothie bowls were fresh and uplifting, and the jackfruit bbq sandwich was so flavorful. Community boards are always a nice touch as you can tell when a business cares about its neighborhood! The thoughtful touches of local, natural bathroom soap and glass bottles for the pressed juices left an impression. read more

Yum! I tried the quinoa & kale as well as the sweet potato & lentil salads today. Both were delicious and will probably last me for dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow. All of the ingredients are listed on the front - no mystery chemicals - for anyone with dietary restrictions. The food is tasty and well-priced. This is far cheaper than somewhere like NorthStar for equal if not more food. Alchemy will definitely be my top choice new lunch spot. read more

Really healthy delicious and nicely portioned meals!! I had the power bowl and a juice. I'm use to juice bars being expensive but alchemy was very reasonable. I left feeling full and healthy read more

It's a hit or miss here. The energy balls and donuts are not the best compared to others. Avocado toast is real good but small, and the smoothie bowls still need work in the consistency (sometimes it's too liquid-y and other times I still taste chunks of fruit in it). I find that the staff isn't always the most friendly, I asked what was in the donuts and she couldn't give me a straight answer in ingredients; which should have been part of their training on the menu. Other than that, always worth a few more tries. read more

I would give them 5 stars but they didn't have any green juices ready and they were still making stuff as we walked in for lunch which I appreciate bc it is all fresh but I really wanted to buy some juice in bulk. The decor is minimal and contemporary, the brussel sprout salad deserves 5 stars and the snicker doodle smoothie was delicious. read more

This is one of my favourite places to eat in Columbus! So healthy, so tasty, so good! Since December, I've eaten at this place weekly (at least). All the smoothies are so delicious. And the food is perfection!! read more

In town for a wedding and tried Alchemy. Easy place to find with clean, modern decor. Awesome smoothies, ordered 2, and the avocado toast was delicious. Staff was friendly but be patient as they craft your order. Great healthy spot to eat. Prices fair compared to other juice cafes. read more

Oh my goodness, so many delicious juices, how to choose? I got the raw chocolate cashew milk and a dragon fruit lemonade. Both were delicious. I love the cute bottles the juices come in too...definitely using those again. The service was great and the dining area was so modern and clean. They have breakfast and lunch foods but I just got the two drinks. Very nice place for quick healthy food. read more

This place definitely hits the spot. I'm a big fan of their bowls, tho they are very expensive for the size. The dragon fruit bowl was particularly good and i'd def recommend trying that! I also tried their avocado toast which was good, but also really really expensive for toast. Never been a huge fan of paying for avocado toast lol, but oh well. There's plenty of parking out back and I like the open layout of this place (also connected to a gym). I'll be back to try more bowls as long as my wallet allows lol. read more

Incredible! Clean space, clean eating and everything tasted amazing !!great for the health conscious

Best juice bar in Columbus. Exceptional menu. Great customer service. I love how the owner walks around from table to table to check in on customers. She is super sweet! The food and drinks taste just as amazing as they look. The employees are very well-informed of the menu options and offer wonderful suggestions based on what you are looking for in a smoothie, bowl, juice, etc. The environment is great for working. Very open and clean..and free wifi! read more
