    "baklava latte"
    Hyde E.

    This was by far the worst latte I've ever had... I was excited to see that this got popular on TikTok since I felt like Alchemy has been mid for awhile, unfortunately it is still mid, there's nothing about this that taste like baklava and had to keep sipping bc I was in disbelief trying to find the taste of this latte... The baristas were chill and that's the only positive thing I got to say

    breakfast smoothie
    Danielle M.

    Had a great experience at Alchemy Cafe this past weekend. I had never been to this cafe before but when I was on my way home, I looked up places to get coffee which I don't drink but I wanted some kind of breakfast food and this cafe did NOT disappoint. The cafe is out a gym and it is an easy grab and go as well as made to order. I ordered two items, a smoothie and sandwich. The smoothie I got was the Breakfast Smoothie that comes with banana, blueberries, almond butter, oats, ohio maple syrup, housemade almond milk. It was delicious and would definitely get again. I also an Egg Sandwich that comes with vegetarian, egg souffle, havarti, zesty cashew cream, arugula, focaccia. Both very good and would definitely get again. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more smoothies in the future.

    NEW Beet & Butternut Squash Salad
    Tom C.

    The salad was chopped which I love in a salad. The candied pecans and maple pecan goat cheese on top were out of this world mixed with the cabbage, kale, and sweet potato squash was def an amazing bite. We added smoked salmon to it and it was just kind of the cherry on top of the Sunday if you will. Added avocado as well. If I had to say something negative, I'd say that the dressing to dry ingredients was off. It was a bit dry. But very yummy. The turkey tzatziki sandwich was SOOOOOOO good. Refreshing, and super flavorful. Loved the honey and the cucumbers with the micro greens feta spread, man of man did it hit the spot on all levels. We also had some of the pesto avocado toast and it was so yummy we ate it before we could snap a photo haha. I will say, it was a bit pricey for the relaxed setting vibe of the brand and decor, but you get what you pay for so it was high quality fresh ingredient's and it was certainly delicious.

    mushroom bahn mi

    Nice vibe nice staff however purchased the overnight oats which were entirely fermented and sour, had to be thrown out. Previous customer threw them out as well. Got the bahn mi and the bread was rock hard and they put almost zero filling in it... Maybe it was a bad day

    Lox Toast

    Love coming here for a short atmosphere change for studying. It's a cute environment that I can get with done in with gear drinks and food, outlets and WiFi so there's a lot going for me to study here. Smooth music! The food here though is really solid. I love their lox toast and avocado toast! The lox toast comes with avocado already! Their smoked Salmon on it is phenomenal and it's got that lovely crunch where it's still soft enough and not hard but has crunchy. my friends have gotten the egg sandwich which looks amazing and I was told was amazing and soft with that soufflé egg so I will def get that next time!

    Food and service were both wonderful! I have been thinking about the Cookie Monster bowl since I've left and I will be back to try the pb smoothie forsure.

    I can't say enough about alchemy. They set the bar across Cbus for fresh healthy drinks and smoothies. I don't get down often to this location but anytime I'm near I'm headed to Alchemy. It's so good that even my two kiddos ask to get smoothies there and I know it's healthy for them. The servers are friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and products....and they seem genuinely happy! They were a huge help with guiding the choices in our most recent visit.

    I hadn't been to Alchemy Cafe in probably 5 years. I went with my partner and friend from out of town for a light lunch. I had the Banh Mi, which was on great crunchy bread, had a bit of heat, lots of fresh micro greens, and was a generous portion. It was a bit pricey ($13) but most sandwiches are in the 10-15 range these days. Sign up for their rewards account when you pay to save money on subsequent purchases. My partner has the egg sandwich, which had a great sriracha mayo and fantastic focaccia style bread. It was also an excellent portion and a bit more affordable ($9.5). The pistachio matcha latte (that comes with oat milk) was flavorful but a bit sweet for our tastes. The best news is anyone who is dairy free or has a dairy allergy has a ton of options on the coffee/latte menu. No need to add the extra $1 or more for oat milk like other coffee shops. Overall, I enjoyed the freshness, portions, and friendly service we received and will definitely be back.

    absolutely love the smoothie bowls here!! you order when you walk up and you can get this order to go or there is a decent about of seating options if you'd like to stick around. the staff was very kind and helpful when my friend was debating on what to get and the food comes out pretty fast as well. the place itself is super cute inside! highly recommend checking out alchemy!! there is also parking outside the cafe.

    Really cool smoothie shop that has a very nice modern vibe! The service is very friendly and the smoothies are on point. I love the interior decor with all the seating options and nice variety of plants. This is a great place to hang out or get work done with upbeat music in the background. Highly recommend checking out to get your health food fix!

    Didn't realize this lil cafe existed so close to my house. Was in the mood for a good breakfast sandwich and this showed up on Google. I knew there was an alchemy in grandview but didn't realize parsons too. Driving by we definitely missed it since it's in the lobby of a mixed use building. Ordered a few things over the phone for carry out including two toasts, an egg sandwich and a smoothie. Staff was really friendly. They were out of focaccia that day so I got my egg sandwich with sourdough instead. Lox toast was incredibly tasty. Love the capers and onions. The egg sandwich was great too... the sriracha aioli gave it some nice heat. Do wish I got to try the focaccia so will have to come back. The only toast I wasn't super impressed with was the avocado toast. Tasted bland - needed some salt and seasoning. The bread it was on was not toasted long enough so it just tasted like avocado spread on a piece of bread. My husband enjoyed the pb power smoothie. Im not a big smoothie person but I'll definitely keep this place in mind if I have a smoothie craving.

    Bahn Mi
    Ya Y.

    It has been a while since I visited here last time. I got basil portobello sandwich and Bahn Mi with the mushroom pate. Both were light. I liked the basil portobello more. The mushroom was so flavorful! I also got an iced coffee and a blueberry cacao smoothie. Both were very refreshing! However I think the food and drinks were a little pricy.

    Danielle M.

    This place is just the cutest with the most delicious "clean" food from smoothies, smoothie bowel, avocado toast, salads, coffee, etc. They have vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. The staff is super friendly and helpful when deciding what to order. They have a small outdoor patio with a a few tables.

To start, we ordered at 6:27, our Door Dasher picked up the food at 6:36, but it wasn't delivered until 8:57... Completely unacceptable. Granted the extremely late delivery wasn't the restaurant's fault (necessarily)... However, because they use Door Dash for delivery, they're ultimately responsible by proxy. Add in that the delivery driver spoke no English, tried to kick our English Staffy who ran out whilst smiling to say "hi" (if you know anything about Staffy's, you know they love people and don't have a mean bone in their body), our food was cold because it was delivered 1.5 hours late, and I was about to lose my flipping mind. Now onto the food... These were quite honestly some of the worst subs we've ever had. Subway is miles ahead of this hot garbage, and it's not remotely close. The food was $50 for two puny half filled subs, inedible coleslaw (absolutely disgusting), a pickle, and a GF cookie (that was not delivered). Now onto the really bad part... Within 30 minutes of eating this trash, both my wife and I had to run for the toilet (I'll leave it at that). Bottom line... Screw this place. PS - If I ever run into Cosmic Dave, he's going to get a piece of my mind for charging people $ for this crap.

Additionally, having had a Goodman's Deli mile high corned beef sandwich when I lived in Cleveland, I had even higher expectations. Their most popular sandwich is the Reuben so I went with that. Katzingers did not meet them. When I arrived to pick up my sandwich I was shocked the line wasn't out the door to place orders before they closed and the dining room had maybe 6 people in it. There were about 6 to go bags on the shelf along with mine. When I mentioned to the cashier that I was surprised it wasn't busier, she said it'll be busier tomorrow. I said the day after St Pat's? No answer. Another not good sign in my mind. When I got home, the wrapped sandwich was bigger than my hand but not very tall. The paper had areas of grease which is a good sign for this sandwich. The corned beef itself was tender but there wasn't as much of it, maybe an inch high and 1/3 of the bread had no corned beef. I also could not taste the thousand island dressing. The rye bread was toasted but pretty soggy. The crust was mostly crunchy. The bread slices were paired upside down putting a narrower side a larger side against each other. There is not enough sauerkraut and it is not very sour. I was given the choice of a dill or garlic pickle but I cannot tell you how it was because they didn't put it in the bag. I expected this sandwich to have so much meat in it, I could eat for multiple days for $18. Again, disappointed. Maybe I should've gotten the deli sized version but paying that much for a sandwich... The inside of the deli is fun and it's obvious it's been around a long time and has been well loved. I wanted to like Katzinger's but since the price and the quality don't match, I cannot.
