I could not love this place more. Everything is good here. Breakfast is to die for with all the smoothie bowls. Lunch is beyond perfect especially for us vegetarians! Plenty of meat eater choices too. read more

Alchemy is my favorite Juice Bar in Columbus. and yes, if you want the honest truth, it's better than ZEST. There I said it. JUDGE ME. Here are the reasons why: Service is top notch. Without a doubt, I don't ever feel like I'm being ignored when I'm here. As soon as I walk in, I'm greeted. All the workers are so nice and they are willing to help if you don't know what you want. PRICE is very reasonable. You have a variety of things to choose from even if you are on a budget. So, you can spend as low as $3.50 to as much as $9. And if you get a glass bottle you can bring it back to recycle and get $0.25 off your next purchase. DRINKS/BOWLS can you say amazing? the Strawberry Chia and Grapefruit Basil were one of my faves. The bowls are um, delicious. The dragonfruit bowls (all their bowls actually) are IG perfect. So cute sometimes that you don't wanna eat it... but you probably should cause it'll melt. OH and if you're wondering about the texture-- consistency is about perfect. The amount of toppings are perfectly proportioned. I love you Alchemy. You guys get it right every time. read more

At first I wasn't going to leave a review on this place at all. It didn't have enough stuff I really liked. I would look at the menu and have the hardest time figuring out what I wanted and sometimes just passed on items. I'm a protein guy and I love meat. So the menu just didn't do it for me. But passing by this place so frequently becuase it's right under the fitness loft, it's hard to ignore. Especially if you are hungry right after a workout. So needless to say I have ate here a lot more. So now the background is over let's get to the real review. There is nothing this place does wrong. And it does everything right. Everything I've gotten had been pretty good. They mix healthy and clean with a nice taste. My favorite is the Portobello sandwich. It just does it for me. I forget that there is no meat on there. It gives good taste without giving out a guilty feeling of eating something bad, Because you aren't. I love the strawberry Avocado toast as well, as seen in my pictures. The tartness of the strawberry's and the sweetness of the little bit of honey drizzle is really good. But they offer so much more that Are solid as well, like bowls, juices, shakes and more. I haven't had something I didn't like here yet. I get the juices from time to time. They are really refreshing. They also do a very good job of presenting their food. I mean you almost have to in this day and age because of social media and even platforms like yelp. But everything is dressed for success here. They make healthy just look good. That's plain and simple. Scroll through the pics of the place and you can see for yourself. Everything is always served in a timely manner and the employees are always friendly. So there's never a problem with customer service. So you won't have to worry about that. The thing I like most is because (as mentioned before) it's placed right under the fitness loft, so it's easy to get some clean nutrients after a workout when your body is craving them the most. I know when I'm done working out my body is drained. And it only wants one thing... food.... and what is conveniently placed below my gym?...... exxxactly. It makes it so easy to grab a bite and just go home. No need to hit Krogers or warm up this weeks meal prep. The place is nice and clean inside. You will never find it dirty. It has lots of tables and chairs for gathering with friends or reading books, getting work done or whatever you want to do. It's flooded with natural light, which I like the best, because it has two big windows on both sides. It's a nice little hip place to chill and eat and do whatever you want. I'd recommend this place to anyone,l. Keep in mind. Im basically 99 percent carnivore LOL. And the menu does not have a lot of meat options. So it's still hard for me to find something to try. But when I do it's always a "glad I tried that". So anyone like me, be prepared to struggle on what you want on the menu. But when you find something, you will like it. This place just doesn't do anything bad, plus the convenience, plus the cleanliness, plus the atmosphere, plus how fresh the food is, it can't be be beat. I have to give 5 stars, (even though I might find the menu hard to adapt to)Because they take what they offer and do it exceptionally well. Which is what every restaurant or store strives to do, even when what they offer isn't for everyone. And I have to respect that. I'll end this off with the only negative.... things can kind of be pricey. But if you get over that, everything is good. read more

Alchemy is easily missed if you're coming from Livingston, it's hidden right behind Crest. There's a vast open parking lot right behind so parking isn't a problem. The employees are great, it was my first time so they gave some great tips on what to try. I ordered the cherry cheezecake bowl and the Mediterranean toast. The bowl was amazing and filling. The cranberry no bake bites were a great topping. By the end of the meal, I was full for a reasonable price. Great breakfast to start off a busy day and I will def be back. read more

Alchemy Café - Cherry Cheezecake!! - Cafes Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I've been to many different juice bars around the states, and this one is up there on my list of the best ones. I ordered several different things over the past two days and everything was great! My only request for the owner would be for them to stop using soy products. I was thrilled to see chia pudding but disappointed to see it was made with soy. Soy is known for being an endocrine disrupter and many ppl are allergic to it. Personally I'd make the chia pudding with almond or cashew milk + banana. read more

Alchemy Café - Chia pudding, curried chickpea, and beet juice! - Cafes Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This terrific juice bar and cafe is in the ground floor of my gym, The Fitness Loft, at Livingston and Parsons. The juice, smoothies, and other healthy food options are always fresh, diverse, and customizable. While somewhat pricey compared to juicing at home, the convenience and variety make for a great periodic treat after a long workout. As the wonderful smells float upstairs to the gym....how can you resist? The staff is always friendly and helpful, too, except for the on-site dietician. She is constantly distracted, rarely smiles, or is ever welcoming to me after a good year and a half. It is disappointing and curious to me given the service nature of ANY business -and otherwise positive vibe of the whole place. My only other suggestion would be that the dining area is usually dirty and not regularly attended to given their frequently brisk business. Other than that, this joint is a welcome addition to a rapidly changing neighborhood! read more

Alchemy Café - Green Monster + chocolate hemp protein...Yummy!! - Cafes Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I was dragged here against my will on a painfully hungover morning by a friend of mine who was none of the things we saw in the customers surrounding us: fit, healthy, clean (except for one workouts worth of sweat, psh), wearing at least one spandex item, bright eyed, energetic, you get the picture. I wanted to hide from them immediately; my ripped t-shirt stinking of beer sweat, cigarette smoke, my own body odor, the dog's bed where I had slept the morning and then the afternoon away. He pressed me to get a smoothie bowl. "Just a smoothie isn't enough, get the dragonfruit one, trust me, it's going to make you feel so good, etc." So I got the dragonfruit one. First off, the presentation, in the bright, pounding afternoon, was immediately soothing. Arcs of granola, fine coconut shavings, course coconut shavings, and then some poppy crunchy things that I didn't know what they were, in a dusting atop a bright pink, soothing, cold goop. Cold, fruity air flowed into my leathery nostrils, desperate for moisture, already healing me. And it tasted awesome too. And yeah, it cured my hangover and all I had to do was hang out with workout people and women in spandex, totally obvious in how out of place I was. And I liked it. So, yeah. That's it. You can be a total disgusting slob and they will give you a smoothie bowl and you will feel more human. Get the dragonfruit one. Trust me. read more

Options were very overwhelming as there are no bad choices on the menu. I really loved my smoothie bowl and was great that they had a to-go option. No wait either and waitstaff was very friendly! read more

I came here to meet up with friends today for lunch. The place is really cool and I like the greenery inside. We meet Alexis today and if you don't here you must get to know her! She made the menu here! I got the beet juice first to start off with the bean burger. The bean burger was okay there was just something missing I guess is how I'll put it. It came with a small side salad which was good. Then a couple hours later, I got the peanut butter smoothie and it was just too rich in flavor. Imagine just drinking peanut butter straight from the jar that's what it tasted like. I thought it would be better since I love peanut butter smoothies and the last time I had one it was at LA Fitness. Although the food didn't quite due the justice today, I'm sure everything else on the menu is delicious because it's all super healthy. So I'll have to be back to try the acai bowls or other juices and smoothies. By the way, when I came here I didn't know it was situated on the bottom floor of a gym. I remember having a conversation with a gentleman a while ago and he said he would build a gym across the street from Nationwide Children's Hospital so I'm very happy his business is doing well now. His business concept for the gym impressed me when he was telling it to a group of people. I even remember him telling me there would be like a little place to enjoy healthy food so I'm happy he was able to get Alchemy in the same building with his gym. read more

The open, natural lighting and friendly welcome was enjoyable for my first check in here at Alchemy! They have a variety of acai bowls, smoothies, breakfast meals and cold pressed juices. They made my banana cacao avocado bowl in front of me so I was able to see the process of how it's prepared. The ingredients were so delicious and healthy (great detox after a Thanksgiving meal the day before).They use fresh produce and are very quick in delivering exactly what you want! I hope to return here with a friend next time to try out another bowl or juice on my next visit. Thanks Alchemy! read more

Seriously, it was probably 2 or 3 years later and I still remembered my delicious meal from the last time I visited Alchemy Juice Bar + Cafe. What I didn't remember is how reasonably priced this place is! I'm now adding it to my "must visit" while in Columbus hit list for work trips. My recent visit included a slide of the avocado toast with red chili pepper flakes ($4), a bottle of juice (around $5) and an acai bowl (I believe it had peanut butter, banana, berries and goji berries - I added cocoa nibs for kicks). Oh! And how could I forget the best chia pudding I've ever had? Well, a close tie with JUGOS in Boston. Perfectly creamy and flavorful. Next time, I will stock up. The menu is super extensive and filled with healthy breakfast and lunch friendly eats ranging from salads and smoothies to a variety of juices in glass bottles. The space also offers plenty of lighting and seating to make this an ideal remote work spot. I believe it was around two miles from downtown Columbus if I'm remembering correctly. Again, canNOT wait for my next visit. The perfect balance to my love for the nutella puffy pastry at Fox in the Snow ;) Balance.... read more

My boyfriend works out at the Fitness Loft and I recently joined him for a visit and was happy to take a moment to also try a smoothie at Alchemy. I had the Morning Glory which is a mix of strawberries, bananas and orange juice. It was super tasty! I am not a calorie counter but my boyfriend was raving about how it had a super low amount of calories so there's that. The space is very clean and bright. The employees are all very friendly and helpful. They also sell some food products but the Morning Glory was enough to fulfill my snack needs. They also have prepared juices that you can get for detox purposes or as a healthy snack on the run. It is very convenient for anyone who works out at Fitness Loft. There is also PLENTY of parking in the large parking lot behind The Fitness Loft which is super nice. I'm excited to have this so close to my home and can't wait to try another flavor! read more

The cherry cheezecake bowl was delicious and refreshing and they were really understanding of my allergies.

I'm a pretty heavy eater, so I was pretty surprised that one bowl and a juice really fills me up. My "go to" order is a Nutty Dragon bowl and Cacao Cashew Mylk. Alchemy consistently has good service, even when the line is halfway to the back door (which is most Saturdays)! They have the best selections and prices of all the juice bars in Columbus. Please open a second location!! read more

Alchemy revisited. Still a great place. One downer is they don't have a veggie burger anymore. I would love them to have a handcrafted one created by them. But I did try the BBQ Jackfruit sandwich today. So, so good. I also am a big fan of the Quinoa "fried" rice. read more

Holds up to any health food joint I have encountered during my years in the Pacific Northwest, minus the hippies with attitude and questionable hygiene. This place is polished, simple, clean, and good for you. Great smoothies!! Yes, they are $6-8 because they are a meal in themselves, packed with quality cancer-fighting ingredients. Go get some! read more

Love this place! I'd go here more frequently if we lived closer. We got dragonfruit lemonade, green smoothie, avocado toast, Mediterranean toast, and an acai bowl between the two of us. It was lots of food and we loved it all! I'm a big avo-toast fan, but the Mediterranean toast was even better! I highly recommend it. Acai bowls all looked amazing. We went on a Sunday for brunch and it was busy but we were able to find a table and didn't wait too long in line. I definitely recommend this place! read more

In my opinion, this place is not as good as the reviews say. I came here with a friend and we ordered a mango lassi, nutty dragon, blueberry almond butter, and a cashew mylk. The good: The nutty dragon was great! Surprisingly the combination of dragon fruit and peanut butter is delicious. The peanut butter taste is really mild so it isnt overpowering. The crunchy toppings are great at offsetting the liquid underneath. I just wish there was just a little bit more of the toppings compared to the liquid. The bad: Almost everything else we ordered. The mango lassi tasted just like a just a mango smoothie. For $7, it was nothing spectacular. The blueberry almond butter was kind of gross. The flavor profile was all over the place. The first bite was okay, but a quarter of the way through, it was just unappetizing. The cashew mylk just tasted like the milk leftover after you eat cinnamon toast crunch but just a little thicker. It was okay, but not something I would get again. Because the nutty dragon was so good, I will give this place another chance. read more

I love the healthy vegan options here. Ideal morning is the cherry bowl with their portabella "bacon" on avocado toast.

Yelp does it again! My husband and I are in the beginning stages of making better food choices, and were in the market for an open cafe on July 4... boy were we happily surprised! What we ordered: Lemon Fire Juice: far too much Cayenne for my taste; even my husband felt it was a little too much (just a little for him) Emerald Isle Juice: very good; my husband found it very refreshing; I would have loved a ginger or a very SMALL cayenne kick BBQ Jackfruit Sandwich: the flavors were a true symphony for your mouth. This wasn't what I ordered, but I definitely would eat it again - despite the fact that I don't prefer BBQ sauces Avocado Toast w Coconut bacon: (either new to the menu or a special) this was fantastic! The flavors blended beautifully! Caprese Florentine: to go. I can't pass up a caprese salad, nor a sandwich. The heirloom tomatoes were the highlight of this sandwich! And the sandwich actually held up very well on the go. The juices are pre-made, so there's no waiting if you're in a hurry, and they also have pre-made salads/sides as well. Everything is SO very fresh! We will definitely be back to try a bowl or two! read more

OBSESSED with Alchemy. Everything from the acai bowls, smoothies, sandwiches, toasts, you name it, I've probably had it and it's delicious. Fresh healthy soups everyday and the donuts are ridiculous. Some specifics that are my go to's are: hummus pesto sandwich (love the chickpea salad on the side that comes with it), breakfast smoothie, hemp pesto avocado toast, rose latte, and cherry cheezecake acai bowl-The cookie bites on top make it amazing. What I really like is that the environment of the place is casual, relatively fast, healthy, and it's food is consistent. I cannot wait for the second location to open in Grandview. I wish they would open one near Easton at some point in the future. Every time someone is visiting, i make it a point to take them to this place. It's a must try if you're looking for something healthy. read more

Alchemy is the reason I am consistently broke. I live just a few blocks away in German Village but it was only about a month ago, after hearing rave reviews, that I first ventured into Alchemy. Now, I'm there on a daily basis. (Sometimes, it's even twice. Oops!) On to the menu -- The Acaí Bowls, of course, are game changers. I can only speak for the Purple Coconut and Banana Cacao Avocado, but they're truly magical. I gobble them up within seconds and I absolutely don't share. Go get your own. They are rich, creamy, and full of flavor without leaving you feeling bloated or overly full. I always grab one pre-workout for fuel. I work nearby too, so I often swing by on my commute for a smoothie. My usual is the Coconut Coffee Smoothie with added whey protein. I'm a coffee addict, and this is smooth and slightly sweet without being a Starbucks sugar calorie bomb. I love the addition of shredded coconut for flavor and texture. When I need added protein I go for the Peanut Butter Power smoothie, which is positively decadent. Yum! The entire staff is always super friendly and knowledgeable. Always smiling and happy to help educate you about the benefits of the different smoothie add-ins or figuring out a good smoothie/sandwich/salad for lunch. Love Alchemy!! read more

Love it here. In my opinion, it is the best smoothie place in Columbus. I can't speak to the food, but the smoothie bowls are always on par. The consistency is nice and thick and the toppings are unique. All of their combos are creative and work well together. I love that they have a variety of no bake toppings too. It is expensive but it's pretty similar to other places like this. Definitely worth checking out and I'll be back to try some of their food and pastries sometime! read more

Been wanting to get here for ages but I live in Minneapolis... It was everything I had hyped it up to be! Amazing avocado pesto toast, smoothie bowls, and protein shakes to-go plus a cute atmosphere and very friendly and helpful staff. The ONE thing I wish they had was an egg to top their toast for a little added protein but everything is raw so I get it. Now if they would only open up more locations in the Midwest! I've been here twice in 24 hours and will likely come back again before I leave town tomorrow. Maybe twice more. read more

Oh and I forgot to mention that their granola is gluten free...even better! Even though it is a bit pricey it is worth every penny because you are getting fresh and homemade ingredients.

Food was average. If you like acidic tasting coffee, you'd like the cold brew. I do not. The reason this place is not getting three stars is their oatmeal late... BEST ICED LATTÉ I've had in YEARS.
