Real interesting place for someone willing to spend $15 on a drink. Unfortunately, I didn't think it would flatten my experience but I admire what they carry in this store so it must be good based on what's available from all varieties of teas, herbs, oils and etc. Definitely want to do a tasting one day! read more

Really weird vibes - it's as quiet as a library and very hot inside. They have cool products and drinks so it's worth checking out if you're into spiritual, natural things. read more

I love everything about this place! It offers so many natural herbs, elixirs, remedies, and many more. Growing up in a family with medical background, I have always been interested in super herbs and elixirs and this place offers it all along with booklets that allow you to dive deeper. The Alchemist's Kitchen consists of 2 stores side by side with the one to the right offering food and drinks with dine-in option. I ordered shroom coffee by MUDWTR to go and enjoyed it. They also offer chocolate protein powder which contains pea protein, pumpkin seed protein, sascha protein, brown rice protein, cacao, maca, baobab, cordyceps, lion's mane, etc. Price tags aside, I highly recommend it. read more

Love this spot. Lou is the coolest shop owner I've ever met. Will be back when I'm in town again.

Love everything about the Alchemist's Kitchen. I always leave feeling happier and healthier. Ask them about everything & they will be able to help you with exactly what you need. I got stuff for my cousin and my self. I love their anima Mundi selection of powders and herbs. I love the rose powder - I add it to my smoothies in the morning. If you're looking for a holistic place, this is it! read more

Been a loyal customer for the past two years and The Alchemist's Kitchen has been such a point of reference for me while working in the area. The staff is one-of-one and their knowledge on the product is priceless. The most helpful! Chris is my go-to for any herbal recommendations; a true fountain of knowledge. Must see if you're in the SoHo area! read more

I had heard about Anima Mundi Herbals from a friend and came on a cold rainy day. I'd been out too long and was chilled and had a delicious Chai Elixer that was perfect. This is such a warm and welcoming place. This last time I came in the summer and Chris remembered me from all those months ago. Both she and Ellie bring a warm, creative and friendly presence and Chris's guidance on the herbal remedies was so helpful. The Alchemist's Kitchen and Anima Mundi Herbals has become a touchstone for me whenever I visit New York. Worth a special trip! read more

Price tags aside, this is the place! I went to grab an all natural sleep aid and was given great insight by the knowledgeable fellow working there and even got a free sample!! Needless to say, the SleepWell CBD drops work like a charm..... zzzzzz read more

Pretty good. I'm currently living the sans alcohol lifestyle and have been starting to appreciate the breadth of different beverage options that exist. We got two of the elixir spritz and were impressed by how much they are able to modulate your mood. My one complaint was the price, $17 is pretty steep. I understand it is SoHo and it is a cocktail alternative, but it felt like it should have been closer to $15. read more

An absolute sincere pleasure visiting this store. A wide array of plant based ingredients, CBD, gems and more. I stocked up on my anise, chocolates & a beautiful Seedlip I can't wait to try for my next cocktail. The owners are opening a herbal elixir bar next door which sounds like my dream come true Gorgeous build out... Love ! Thank you to Lou and Ezza for the ultimate customer experience read more

I was having the worst period cramps, it was that time of month. I find this location after I heard they moved from the old location they we're at before. So far I've had brain tonics, herbs like marshmallow-root and blue powder for oxygen increasing ability. Living on the water can sometimes make my breathing routine a little weird especially when people bring all different kinds of dogs in Manhattan, like how can h just bring a dog someone's at in I'm allergic to the got damn dog smh but regardless of that situation I breath pretty good with the brain tonics. read more

I recently went to The Alchemist's Kitchen for the Spring Awakening Botanical Mixology event. I found it on Event Bright when searching for mocktail classes in NYC. I recently gave up alcohol and wanted to learn how to make fun mocktails at home. I will start by saying the store is super cute, and our instructor Ezza was very nice and knowledgable. With that being said I feel as though the event description was a bit misleading. The class is described as a "hands-on experience" where "we'll craft seasonal, alcohol free elixers..." We learned about the different herbs and spices. We were able to smell the herbs, and take notes. Our instructor Ezza prepared one small drink for the entire class to share. There were 6 of us, so we basically each had 1 shot as our tasting. I was disappointed that we did not get to experiment, or make any drinks of our own. If you are looking to listen and learn about herbal concoctions that's what you'll get, but I was looking for something a little more hands on and creative. read more

Went to the store and the elixir bar. Store has awesome selection of nootropics and other comfort things like intimacy oil and candles. They seemed be going for more breadth than depth; it feels quite curated. Elixir bar was really chill and friendly to just sit back and take a breather. I got a drink to-go, but I hung back anyway cuz the coffee table seemed so intimate and inviting! Unique drinks--I got the Red Velvet. I liked how neutral it tasted; it tasted like an actual health drink and not a sugar bomb. It is definitely expensive (hence knocking one star off), but I knew what I was getting into... really wanted to get my mushrooms in for today! read more

Love it here such a great place for nice tea to get nice healthy snacks, with lovely products to purchase.

I Love this place! Been here twice and love all the items they have on the top floor which are simply magical! They also have snack/pastries, coffee, teas etc. On the lower level, they host events, alongside with live bands/musicians and the space really gets crowded with very mix group of people. I would like to come by during the day and try some of the items they have available like the special coffee that is only sells by 2pm. read more

I attended an after hours full moon event last night. Disappointing. Coupled with being packed like sardines. The chairs had no space between. No room for movement or breath work. Very uncomfortable seating. I will not go to another event here. As a side, for an eco conscious place, they don't use recycled toilet paper either. read more

Always someone there to help and give advice The environment is clean, and welcoming. High quality foods, supplements, and learning resources. Your bill can get steep pretty quickly but it's all worth it. Pro tip: Theres a pretty good fried chicken place across the street. Pig out, feel crappy about your life then come to alchemist kitchen and start a cleanse. Disclaimer: Please don't follow that "Pro Tip". The author (me) has no will power at the moment. But don't let that be you. read more

To start off- I have not been to the new location, so I can't review that part of the business. That being said, I love this store and it's many offerings. On a whim I bought my mom their CBD cream. She's in her 70's and lives in Ohio. She had no prior experience with cannabis but she loves this product! She swears by it for her back pain and buys jars online for all her friends. I attended many lectures about the science and psychology of psychedelics. All very informative and interesting. Alchemist Kitchen use to be affiliated with a podcast called The Evolver. They haven't published any new episodes for a while but it's totally worth going back and checking out the archive. They had episodes about yoga & meditation, shamanism, MDMA therapy, etc. Ken Jordan was a knowledgeable and enthusiastic interviewer. I miss having him in my earbuds! Overall this is a wonderful resource and a great jumping off point to journey down many rabbit holes. Some of which have changed my life. read more

Alright guys i usually dont write bad reviews but seriously i went this new wave hippie ass scam of a cafe and I tried there green mint drink I was expecting excellence from a 12$ smoothie but please excuse my language it tasted like straight ass i cant even explain to you how angry i am inside and how much i felt like i was tricked. The person who made their menu should be fired and be banned for life from making food and drinks ever again this place is a scam and needs to be closed this is how angry this smoothie made me im fuckin pissed and want my taste buds back read more

One day I gave a neighbor friend a sampler pack of my Japanese incense. A few days later, she in turn gave me an assortment of incense sticks from Alchemist's Kitchen. Some were palo santo and others were....er...some type of wood. Either way the scents were sublime, and I knew that one day I'd want to check out Alchemist's Kitchen for myself. So I came to Yelp to find out exactly where it was, and as soon as I saw the block it was on I thought 'uh oh.... that looks like it's in that 'new and improved', sanitized part of the Bowery....ugh...I hate all that area now.' But, I decided to give it a try. When I first walked in, I noticed an extremely upscale/pricey drink counter. Continuing on, I saw the 'shop' with all kinds of lotions and potions. In the sampler pack my friend had given me, was a sliver of like a 'handcut' bar of soap, which was super nice. So I asked the salesman which soap it might have been, that my friend had given me. He brought me over to some soaps and said it was likely one of them. I can't remember how much a full bar of these soaps cost, but a small size (similar to what hotels leave for you at the bathroom sink...) a bar THAT size cost.... $4.00. What? I could take maybe two showers with that! Now I'm all for nice, rich soaps, but $4 for a teeny hand soap? Um, I don't think so. I went downstairs to see what was there, and it seems to be like a high-end, experimental, new age-y type spa. It had some sort of odd services if I recall. The palo santo I was considering buying very pricey. In the end, it seems to me that this is a place for rich hipsters/tourists who've no idea that there are plenty of other holistic or new age-y shops without the New Bowery pricetags. read more

I got a fig bar from the front counter to-go. It was the size of a brownie and over $6. I paid with my credit card and they asked for tip on the paper I sign which makes me so confused. Why ask for tip when it's a to-go item that I'm taking out? Service was nice but everything here is so super expensive and the products aren't special or taste good enough for the price in my opinion. read more

Everyone here is right about the staff. Very pretentious and they act like they're too good to help you. It was my first time trying many of these products so I had questions, but it seemed like the lady was mad that I asked them. Also, this place is incredibly overpriced and the 30 capsules that I paid for ended up only being 23. In summary - place is a rip off and staff is rude. Avoid! read more

Love everything about this place. Friendly staff, and delicious baked goods. Can't wait to be back

I recently needed to explore CBD remedies for some hip pain. The herbalist was very informative and the quality of the product is outstanding. In addition they have some very other interesting products ..all plant-based and the atmosphere is beyond cool. read more

While product may be ok... Customer service is less than acceptable. The manageress of store is rude and dismissive. I've been a few times now as I always can excuse a bad day.... Each time was the same. I have signed up for workshops only to be bounced to allow friends of management in. The spa reception is much the same... However the Cafe staff are wonderful,helpful and most accommodating read more

I visited The Alchemist's Kitchen after reading an article about it on "The Healthy-ish". When you first walk in there is a large bar where staff serve up samples of tea, special tonics, and herbal elixirs. As you walk further into the space, there are a few tables situated behind the bar for customers to sit and eat, drink, or chat with staff. The shop has a great selection of perfumed oils, incense, and tinctures, as well as things like room sprays, tarot cards, and even CBD products (they sell CBD oil, vape pens, as well as topical creams). There is also a downstairs level that houses a cocktail bar as well as a cordoned off space where visitors can pay a hefty fee to get vitamin shots and nutrient-infused IVs (yes, really). While I was impressed by the variety and vision of the shop, I found the staff to be a bit cold and not particularly helpful when I asked questions. That being said, I only spoke to two staff members, so there may be warmer folks here that I didn't interact with. I'm intrigued by the events and workshops have going on, so I'll definitely be back to see what kind of environment the shop has when filled with a larger community. read more

I'm not sure why there's so much hate for this place. I walked in on an afternoon having just started reading and researching CBD oil and they were extremely friendly and informative. I didn't get either of the staff member's names but they were able to tell me about the different CBD oils and strengths as well as all the edibles available. Their oil doesn't seem expensive for NYC - and their edibles are inline too (for example the Moxie Mints are $39 there - and they're also $39 straight from Moxie and $40 at another place nearby). All of you saying you don't get help if you don't look fancy: I'm a 36-year-old dad bod with a bald head, wearing my dad jeans, sweater, and New Balances, and they totally took care of me. Don't be intimidated by the other reviews or the staff here. They're totally pro and really helped me understand what's what. read more

I absolutely love this store. I had no idea about plant beauty until discovering this store, NOW I spend most of my day thinking of how to join every herbal class, and be a regular. I loved that there is a place that really is supporting the world of beauty not just through great products but also making sure it has a strong impact on the planet. A hidden beauty gem in NYC.All the herbalist are so real in their wisdom. Ariel who hosts their herbal 101 classes is full of healing practices, and ways to incorporate plant medicine into everyday life. Im hooked on everything they do. This is one of my favorite places to visit in NYC. Plus they have the coolest indie brands, and best wellness ingredients. read more

I do agree that the staff is not friendly at all. When you ask questions about the products , they look at you like you are not worth it. I want to love this place, but I don't find it welcoming at all. Too bad ! I had lunch once , it was good but again, not so pleasant eating there without a smile. read more

I came here for the Ma Matcha pop up shop (not affiliated with alchemist's kitchen) but I was so much more intrigued by the actual place itself. I love the concept of this plant-base shop and I'm so thrilled I discovered it! If you're a tea/juice enthusiast, this place is definitely worth checking out and if you're not, this place is still worth checking out. The whole vibe of this place is energy healing, from the drinks to the design of the place itself. The manager informed me they will be opening up a speakeasy downstairs soon and I can't wait to come check it out. read more

Nothing special I would want to be he one to rate this place bad as I love herbs and all that magic stuff ! But the place didn't make a good impression on me and all drinks seem to have kambucha in them and it's alcohol and sugars I don't do that ! Not my place read more

My first visit to the alchemist kitchen was for an event they held in the basement regarding the north and south nodes of astrology. When i arrived i was greated by the barista from the cute coffee shop at the front and inside is where you would find the store front with all the tinctures and elixirs, cbd products as well as organic personal items. I instantly felt at home. It was a very peaceful environment which I really enjoyed. I was able to browse on my own without anyone hassling me with stuff. I have been reading the reviews on yelp about how people felt the staff was pretentious and rude. I did not get that vibe at all. I felt it was a place that speaks for itself. If you have questions then that courage has to come from you. There are so many things at this place that I feel the associate isn't going to know what you are looking for or want. Whenever I had questions or needed assistance I was given the calm attention needed. I would encourage anyone who is interested or curious to come check it out with an open mind and don't let something as small as a hello to discourage you from entering in. If you have questions just ask and you shall receive. I do agree the products are on the high end in price range and I have gone online after my visit to compare prices. If you aren't lazy and really want something that you've seen there you can find a good deal. otherwise its your own fault to settle for a product price that the store is offering for obvious reasons (limited overall supply in nyc, convience, nyc ridiculous rents) I will be back again. The events page on their website offers some great classes. read more

This place gets atmosphere right but everything else wrong. I ordered a drink that had konbucha in it, which took the girl a few seconds to make, during which she used health-Aid kombucha- NOT the much higher priced kombucha they sell off the shelf. $10 for a $3 bottle of brooch poured into a plastic cup with a sprinkle of adaptogens??? Dang. Then I start browsing, I've read most of these books and have all the voodoo shit already so I get excited. The CBD oil is soooo overpriced. $190 for 750mg is stupid. Much cheaper in Cali AND RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET and the vape shop- 1000 mg for $130. This place is a perfect spot for hipsters or stay-at-home moms who spend all day rearranging their crystals but for actual healers- hard pass. read more

Limp or hobble your way in my case quickly on down to Alchemist Kitchen. I didn't believe in any magical plant salves besides aloe vera. I didn't know much about them. Tinctures meh, seem hit or miss, teas are always soothing to the spirit. Prefacing for kicks that I don't smoke, chew, vape, ingest cannabis. This may explain quite a bit but I don't. THIS SALVE recommended by my chiro is miraculous. The price point is high as salves go but it's worth it. I'm going back for more because I feel that once "the man" discovers it. The store, the supply or the recipe will change. I've had a little neck disc pain for about a year. Not a fan of ibuprofen and the dangers to my insides I prefer massage, yoga, acupuncture. I headed to the LES and the jar I intended to purchase was sold out (lemongrass). I purchased this brand which smells faintly of lavender and smoky weed. Being a chicken (yes) I'm scared to ride the subway after putting it on 'because of police dogs/inherent bias'. Withstanding that it's worth the risk. It's legal, it won't get you high and I can't stress this point enough. It seems to work within 3 minutes! Its not a placebo, my 3 colleagues and I did an unscientific study and all found the same results. Try it. It truly helps quiet rather sharp pain. Feel better. Fun facts: There's a hand written made on date on the jar. It was made 3 days before I purchased. I don't know if it best keeps at room temp or expires. I can't say much about the cafe, I didn't eat there. The counter person was pleasant and told me all about the menu items though. The shop portion of the place certainly isn't like the health aid shops of yore, no one offered to assist me or anyone else nearby. They didn't ask about ailments or offer suggestions. Maybe thy have their reasons. I'd do my own research before coming in. read more

Edit: As I was granted a full refund in a timely manner I am changing my review to be positive. I bought some stuff from the online store next day delivery. After several days of waiting with no update I sent an email asking for tracking information. No response. A few days later I send a follow up email. They respond telling me they are waiting for the product to be delivered from the distributor. A week later I email asking for an update. No response. I call the store in Manhattan. They tell me the online shop is separate from the store and that everything is handled through that email. Fucking great. I buy the product from the distributor and it ships to me the next day. I email to demand a refund at this point. No response. Instead I get an automated message - your package has shipped. I don't want it, anymore. Doesn't feel like a coincidence. Meanwhile I have a fine relationship with the distributor who shipped the product much faster than Alchemist's Kitchen lead me to believe. read more

This is my first Yelp review, and honestly the Alchemist's Kitchen deserves it. I went in there yesterday after having a migraine for 10 days straight and asked for help because I was in so much pain I couldn't function anymore. The ladies in there helped me find something that would help and talked to me for awhile about different ways to prevent a migraine like this before it happens. As someone who has been suffering from migraines for a decade now I kind of lost hope in finding something. I left that shop feeling the pain start to let up and THAT deserves a 5 star from me. read more
