It's a little pricey for what you get. The avocado pesto toast was tasty, like a explosion of flavors in your mouth. Also liked the GF bread, added some texture to the mix. I didn't like the smoothie as much. Felt like the flavors didn't complement each other. Nonetheless I will be back to try some other flavors. read more

I absolutely CRAVE this weekly. I usually treat myself on Friday mornings to some Ubereats. Of course working from home right now creates a need for some form of excitement, right? It's the little things. My go to smoothie is and always will be the Breakfast Smoothie II from Alchemy. I add some chocolate whey protein as well. It is sooooo good! I am not lying when I choose this over my own breakfast cooking on Fridays (I went to school for culinary arts so that's saying something!). I also like to get their creamy avocado lox toast. Unfortunately, I have yet to receive salmon on it but I would just figured they were out. None the less, the avocado toast can be made with gluten free bread!!! Which completes my gluten free breakfast! I feel as though I also need to mention how fast they are. Every time I place my order it arrives so quickly which also helps me make my decision for a simple breakfast. Well today is Thursday and I was craving their smoothie so my fancy Friday turned into Treat yourself Thursday and I am completely fine with it. read more

My younger adult health-conscious daughter & her like minded husband asked me to meet them here for brunch on a Monday late morning before flying back to their home. My daughter had been eagerly awaiting this first visit to Alchemy after hearing of good reviews. I, on the other hand, had glanced at the menu online & honestly was a bit less eager but still willing. Well, I'm sure glad I kept an open mind! It was delicious! The Earl grey tea with crushed black raspberries & almond milk was perfectly warm & smooth with an occasional surprise of berry tang & was just simply amazing! (However I must add; my brother & his family run a family dairy farm in Southeastern Ohio so I personally cannot freely promote the purchase nor the consumption of any milk other than fresh cow's milk from Ohio! :) haha but seriously, yay for Shaw Farms in Stockport, Ohio) anyhoo, the sandwiches were made on freshly baked bread & were absolutely delicious with the locally fresh produce. There's seating available inside & outdoor patio seating facing the parking lot. Unfortunately it had rained so we ate inside. Tables and chairs were clean (& so were the restrooms) and the atmosphere was colorful, comfortable & quiet with soft music. The three of us were able to comfortably enjoy our nice conversation with the freshly prepared food & drinks as a trickled-stream of customers were quickly in and out with take out orders. What a nice surprise with Alchemy! I'm sure we'll be back! read more

Delicious toast and sandwich options! Loved the vibe. Very friendly staff. We had the egg sandwich and the avocado pesto toast. Liked them both! read more

This place has the slowest, laziest employees I have ever seen. They move at their own glacial pace whether they have customers or not, it's astounding. I'm assuming it's part of the corporate culture as it's the same way at their Grandview location. I would avoid it until they fix their customer service issues. read more

The reason I actually go to the gym (above the cafe) is because I want to treat myself to something delish from Alchemy. It's healthy & delicious! Plus... - friendly service - recycling bins on site (THANK you) and options to use washable silverware and buy steel straws - reasonable prices (avocado toast is only $3.50. I immediately texted all of my Chicago and LA gals in awe) - community oriented - really tasty food! I'm addicted to the no bake balls. And everything is so healthy. It's a dream cafe, never change Love you, Alchemy xoxo (PS I wouldn't mind seeing some mason or reusable glasses by the water dispenser - the last few times I've been there it's only been plastic) read more

Super trendy spot! I liked the fresh and colorful vibe from the moment I walked in the door. Unfortunately they were out of a couple ingredients to make the Blueberry Almond Butter smoothie bowl so I went with the Chunky Monkey one instead. Good move. It was absolutely delicious! The only thing that I wasn't into were the raw cacao nibs. They were just too crunchy and hard for me to bite into so I would pass on those next time. Wish it would have been plain chocolate chips instead and then it would have been perfect. My description doesn't do it justice though. I mean look at my smoothie bowl!! Absolutely incredible masterpiece, and I wish I lived close by to go here all the time. As a note, it was pretty noisy in there because a certain blender (I'm guessing) is super loud and it echoes a bunch. I wouldn't have been able to do any work there but yet I do always need complete silence in order to work. But overall, I really enjoyed the whole experience and I wish there was an Alchemy where I lived! read more

We hands down go here too much- ALCHEMY SPONSOR US ;) just kidding, but really. Food: fresh, vegan friendly, and good for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also have some prepackaged items - easy for on the go peeps like ourselves! Drinks: tons of juice choices, we both try to avoid juice with ginger, and luckily they have options for us! Service: you just go up to the counter and order, and then they announce your order when ready! Takes about 5-10 mins! Atmosphere: bright, clean, lots of fresh plants! Location: bottom of the fitness loft. Perffffect for a pick me up after your workout. Or just swing by- no work out needed ;) Recommend: yes!!! Pbj toast and blueberry almond butter smoothie bowl are our top recommendations read more

my second time at this location- service was not great not only were we not greeted upon walking but felt like a burden ordering. the ambiance feels worse almost like a corner store and did not have some of the menu options. the food was bland which was disappointing considering the price. read more

Awesome place to get some good food and good green diet!!! People are so friendly!!! I love it I recommend this place 100%! Also , green monster with ginger are the bomb !! read more

This is my 4th time here. The staff has been really friendly, and let me sample the soup each time(curried pumpkin is the best one yet). The first visit I got the banana almond butter açaí bowl and today got the purple coconut and added whey protein. Both were absolutely excellent. The hoof hearted cold brew in a can is really good as well. They carry premium drinks and sides, and I leave here feeling like I'm not a piece of garbage for what I just ate, granted, it's 2-3x the price of garbage fast food but if you are looking at this place on yelp that probably isn't your big concern. Can't wait to come back and try out some more of the menu! And I'm back. I've tried a few different bowls now and the jalapeño turkey sandwich ($8.50). The sandwich was good, it wasn't heavy, not that anything is heavy here, but I didn't get much or any jalapeño taste. The side of balsamic chickpeas was FANTASTIC. I'd eat that in way too large of a quantity if given the opportunity. The peanut butter energy bite was pretty bland but, all in all, I still liked it. The ingredients were interesting and seem nutritious so I'll call it a net positive purchase at $1.50. The açaí berry pomegranate amazon energy drink was awesome! 40 Cals, 7g sugar isn't bad and 150%dv of vitamin c. $3 is pricey but I'd get it again/ will get it again so they clearly price things pretty smart! This place is great. read more

Fiiinally made it here! Pretty yummy, lots of fresh healthy eats. My favorite thing was the wide variety of grab and go options. There's an entire cooler at the register full of juices and salads so you can get all these great eats and there's no prep or wait! We tried the... *Jalapeño turkey sandwich: good, not necessarily spicy *Veggie Sandwich: my family loved this, looked chocked full of stuff. *Asian carrot noodles: very good, try these!! Or miss out on so much yumminess... *Quinoa fried rice: great side as well *All of the balls...the little protein balls on the counter: imma be honest, not really a fan of these. We found them all to be on the dry and crumbly side. The blue one tasted like mint play-dough (no offense) BUT maybe they were just getting a little older. *Coconut chia pudding: get one to try and 5 to go. But seriously mmmm I've considered going all the way to German village to snag some of this. There's also lots of great juices (don't remember which we tried), bowls, smoothies, and supposedly donuts?! If you're in the area stop in, lots of goodness! read more

My first time at a juice bar! This place is nestled off the hood side of Parsons avenue in a new strip mall, conjoined with a gym. The menu is comprised of smoothies, coffee beverages, healthy bowls (that can be turned into smoothies), sandwhiches and their house made juice. The staff is so friendly and helpful educating me on the various options and outstanding healthy combinations. You walk in and you just feel healthy. My first smoothie is the dragonfruit smoothie. Purple like barney. Great taste, looking forward to my next visit! read more

I Freaking Love This Place! It seems like Columbus (like most major cities) has a rich offering of healthy juice/smoothie/salad places with transparent operations and natural ingredients. And to that, I say "heck yes!" I have favorite dishes at each, but Alchemy seems to have a slight edge. I like that the menu has more traditional lunch items done with a healthy modern twist and also some trendy health food like toast and smoothie bowls. The Nutty Dragon is my must-have. Order that and thank me later. Just had one yesterday and it honestly kept me full as long as any other lunch item would. The prices are similar to other restaurants in this concept, and it's clear that you get what you pay for in quality. Wish I could eat there every day! read more

Seriously this is one of my favorite places EVER. Such a wide variety of drinks, food choices, snacks, and retail...complete with cute little succulents! My first trip, I ordered the mango lassi (seriously awesome...I was mid-cold and couldn't taste much of anything, but I could taste this!) and a no-bake matcha ball that really did taste like cookie dough. Prices are a little steep, but the quality is definitely there and the employees are super knowledgeable and passionate about their jobs! So excited this is less than a 5 minute walk from my house for the month (but my budget is not so excited!) They also have complementary fruit/herb infused water. Would love yo come back every day! read more

I didn't know how much I needed this place until I tried it. I had the Banana Cacao Avocado bowl, the Pesto Avocado toast and also the Blue Majik pressed juice. The bowl was delicious and I loved the raw cacao nibs. The avocado toast was one of the best that I have ever had. The pesto was perfectly savory and the hemp seeds added a needed crunch to contrast the avocado. The space was so bright and beautiful with a lot of natural lighting. I loved that there was a plant at every table, it was just too cute. I'll be honest, my eyes were bigger than my stomach because I was so full when I left. But, the fullness was very long-lasting, I wasn't hungry for hours afterward. I've always been a huge fan of juice and I can't believe I had never heard of Alchemy before. I will definitely be back. read more

A hidden gem in Columbus, I really like what this restaurant group has offered over the years. If you're not necessarily in the mood for avocado toast and/or açaí bowls, they now have breakfast sandwiches on the menu as well. There is so much to offer, regardless of what you're looking for. I'll be sure to try the BBQ Jackfruit on my next visit. Pictured is the Pesto Avocado Toast (avocado, hemp walnut pesto, hemp seeds, salt) and the Blueberry Almond Butter Bowl (acai, banana, blueberries, almond butter, almond milk, topped with banana, granola, coconut, goji berries). A must try! read more

Definitely the right place to reboot and refuel! The negative temperatures couldn't take away from the bright vibrant feel this place gives. From the beautiful smoothie bowls to the wall of plants, this sure is a welcoming spot. For starters, the staff was delightful, the gentleman at the register was patient and helped me decide on what smoothie bowl I wanted to try. He was familiar with the options and offered different reasons and descriptions for each item I was considering. I ended up going with the blueberry bowl and was very happy with my choice. It was beautiful, not too sweet, and the toppings created a perfect blend of textures. The cafe offered many items such as smoothies, juices, toasts, salads, sandwiches, teas, coffee, snacks, and other items in the cooler such as juice shots. There was plenty of room to sit and enjoy and my order was quickly ready. This is also a great spot to swing by and grab a smoothie to go! In addition, don't worry about parking because the location has a parking lot in the back of the building!! read more

The food can add up quick especially if you get al a carte items, however everything there was simply top tier food

Alchemy is the best juice/smoothie/health food spot in town. Period. I love that Alchemy offers delicious snacks, drinks, and lunch AT A DECENT PRICE. Some competitors in town have similar menu items for 3-4 dollars more per item. Alchemy tastes better and costs less which is why I'm a repeat customer here and none of the other spots around town. Here is what I love: The smoothies: You can't go wrong here. They use fresh ingredients and you know exactly what is going into your smoothie. My favorites are Strawberry Banana Chia and Peanut Butter Power. The atmosphere: The employees are always patient when I can't decide what to order, and when I finally decide, they are more than happy to help me. The food: I would eat the quinoa "fried" rice everyday, tbh. It fills me up without being too heavy, and it takes like a healthy version of Chinese takeout fried rice. YUM. There are so many items on the menu that I still need to try! Smoothie bowls, toast, juice, sandwiches, and salads - Anything you get here will be delicious and healthy. read more

What a great place to refuel. I stopped into Alchemy post workout. Ended up ordering the breakfast smoothie and Mediterranean toast and they were both were delish. The smoothie was the perfect temperature and tasted wonderful. The toast was possibly the best toast I've had (even with gluten free bread). I look forward to going back to try out one of the bowl options. As far as ambiance goes, this place is casual and clean. It shares a space with a gym, but only the front desk to the gym is in sight (I believe the gym is upstairs). read more

First time here! I did make a point to come in today for my free Elite '17 juice, but also got the veggie sandwich to go, which was amazing. All the right tasty veggies and hummus on toasted wheat bread. I would def. get it again. If I worked at the hospital I would be here all the time for food. I will def. come back to try more delicious items. The young lady at the register was super nice and the space is cool with lots of seating. Tip: It is right next to The Crest. I didn't see it right away because it's kind of hidden. Now I know. read more

100th review here to say....GO. If you haven't that is. But ehhhh, why haven't you? I've visited Alchemy probably 20 times which is waaaay unusual for me. I'm more of a "go once and move on to new adventures" typa girl. So you know something is up. Something real good. I have never ordered the same thing twice and have sampled what my friends have ordered so I feel confident in saying that the ENTIRE MENU is delicious. Yes, the whole thing! You must try really reaaaally hard to go wrong and welp, still impossible to not enjoy it (in my eyes). I should preface this by letting you know that I eat 92ish% plant-based so Alchemy is my dream. However, I've taken friends here who like the occasional fruit and veg but don't know what chia seeds or a jackfruit looks like. They too instantly fell in love. One last thing about the food - Alexis and her staff are constant innovators with new glorious creations and seasonal items (helllllo pumpkin pie bowl and red gingerbread smoothie) so prepared to be surprised for what is coming next. There is a large parking lot, the service is always grand, they have free wifi (perfect for working), nothing costs more than $10, your food will be aesthetically made in less than five minutes and the interior is white, bright and oh so clean. That run-on sentence = see ya there soon!! read more

I haven't been to this location in person but I did get an order through Uber Eats. I ordered the basil portobello sandwich, pesto avocado toast, and cookie dough no-bake bite. Basil portobello sandwich was amazing! Bread was soft with a crispy exterior. Portobello mushrooms were juicy. Sandwich really had all the right ingredients with a perfect balance of flavors. It hit the spot. (5/5) Pesto avocado toast was deliciousssss. Had the perfect amount of salt to bring out the creamy flavor of the avocado. AND it didn't cost an arm and a leg like so many avocado toasts do these days. (5/5) No-bake cookie dough bite was okay. A little drier than I expected but had decent flavors. (3/5) I will definitely be ordering from these guys again! Really really amazing food for reasonable prices. read more

Environment & food was great. It's also very convenient if you're trying to grab a quick bite after or before a work out. Staff could be more enthusiastic, they look very miserable. read more

Alchemy is the new kid on the block in the Columbus health food scene, and they're off to a great start so far. I am loving the wave of cold-pressed juice spots all over the city, and Alchemy fits the bill for the south side of town. Except this isn't *just* juice... Situated at the bottom of The FItness Loft, Alchemy is big, open, and bright. They have a great selection of cold-pressed juices, salads, smoothies, soups, and sandwiches. Everything is extremely fresh and contains super high-quality ingredients. I've tried several juices and smoothies so far, and these folks know their stuff! The staff is friendly and welcoming, and they are eager to answer any questions. Sometimes places like this can come across a bit aloof, but Alchemy is all about nourishing food that isn't pretentious. The prices are also on-point for this style of food. One of my favorite things here is the room to work! There are loads of tables and chairs, and they have free wifi. As a remote worker, I'm always looking for new places where I can be productive, and I don't want to be in a coffee shop all the time. Alchemy is still new, so, of course, they're still working out some kinks and making their processes better. But they are doing so many things the right way--it's definitely a place I can get behind. read more

The strawberry almond butter salad omg it's so good. The spinach is crunchy and the strawberries are so fresh. It has house made almond butter that I swear is crack. I love this place it's more a treat these days but I love it. I use to stop in a few times a week for a smoothie or juice but I had to break away. The energy bites are so good if you go please try these, I have quite a few different kinds. Also-the snicker doodle smoothie is so delicious. This is my second review for alchemy I'm sure I'll write another soon. read more

If you need something quick and delicious and don't want to feel like a bloated pile of garbage after you eat it, you have to go to Alchemy. This cafe is the answer to food done fast that is nutritious and tasty. There is an array of ready made salads to pick from ranging from curried chickpea to kale/quinoa concoctions. There are also made to order options in the form of sandwiches, acai bowls, smoothies and dressed up toasts. Beverage wise the juices really shine. My favorites are the grapefruit and basil and orange zing (spicy). Also notable: the coffee. The beans from the local roasters are awesome and you can top it with cream, house made almond milk or soy milk. My faves: turkey sandwich, tuna kraut sandwich, blackbean burger, blueberry almond butter acai bowl, and avocado toast. read more

I knew I needed a pick me up when I got off work today, and I knew I hadn't yet been to Alchemy. One and one made two. Since Bryant loves this place, I was lucky to catch him down the road, and he joined me. And his Review is 100% spot on: Five stars, hands down. Phenomenal business! When I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised with the bright, "happy" feeling I got. I love the white, minimalist design and layout. Plenty of room for groups. Several tables. The open counter made it easy to chat with the two gentlemen workers. While the one was making more juices right there on the back counter, the other guy explained the concept of the store, and all the different liquids they offer. I LOVE red beets, so their Easy Beet juice caught my eye hook line and sinker. I decided to make it into a smoothie: almonds, organic spinach and banana added to the juice concoction. Pure (healthy) bliss!! My golly, the smoothie was so good: no added sugars, all kinds of fruits and veggies mixed in. How can something so GOOD be so healthy? It was all that jazz and more. I had a craving for one of their salads (I mean really people, how can I pass up such a delightful afternoon snack), so I picked up one of their Sweet Potato & Lentil pre-portioned sides. It was also stupendous! Just the right amount of flavors, not over-killed with too many spices/herbs. I won't hesitate recommending this smoothie/salad combination! I was glad to meet and chat with Alexis, owner/manager, being in the later afternoon when I got there. Fantastic lady, indeed! Humble, great listener, creative in the kitchen. I'm thrilled that this establishment has been such a success!! read more
