We are visiting from SoCal & my sister recommended this place for their awesome healthy creamy desserts and the oxygen bar. We tried a little bit of almost everything. My sons allergic to gluten and Dairy and he thoroughly loved the chocolate peanut butter dessert & we enjoyed the pecan turtle cheesecake. Both were delish. We enjoyed 20 minutes of young living essential oil infused oxygen. My sons allergic to the dog at my sisters house so the oxygen helped open his lungs. We ordered the blueberry tonic and passion power whip drink. Kids wanted more blueberry tonic. We love how relaxing this place is and it's focus on wellness. They serve alcoholic drinks also. read more

I absolutely love this place. All the elixirs, shakes, tonics, and mixes anyone could dream of. Super kind "bar" keep, attentive, patient, calm. We did the oxygen session with aroma and it was exactly what I needed to balance me out emotionally that day. I'd recommend this for some soothing or healthy energy you may need to take care of yourself. I'll be back. Try it! read more

this was our first stop in Boulder and I highly recommend it. Instead of some hot tea like I normally would get we got some sort of drink that was very tasty and the staff was great. Very relaxing atmosphere. If i come back to Boulder i am pretty sure I would like to stop here first becasue very relaxing atmosphere in the middle of the nicest area with comfortable seating to get our plans together for our walk down main street. Lots of places to eat, drink, shop, etc. close by. read more

Tonic Alchemy Lounge - Menu - Tea Rooms Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

it's so good and i'm obsessed. i love the mug of love and all of the cakes they have to offer.

This place is awesome! Great service and desserts that are yummy that I can actually eat. I have many allergies. This made my day!

IMHO, Tonic is the best kept 'secret' in Boulder. With the slogan "Embrace the Unknown" that's what you do when you enter Tonic. If you like a place that's different, real, healthy, alternative (in a classy way) and chill, Tonic is for you. Offering everything from teas, potions, smartinis, their specialty Juns, organic wine/sake/mead, oxygen sessions, herbal elixirs, raw food, snacks, superfoods, amazing desserts and more, this place is literally a tonic for alleviating your stresses, your hunger, your thirst, and your desire to connect with really interesting, genuine, warm, friendly, aware, health conscious people. Tonic also has live music, DJs and performances - you can follow Tonic Herban Lounge on Facebook to get updates on what they have on each week. I always wanted to find a local lounge that was open late at night and where I could relax a mature, cool crowd, enjoy great drinks and chill music (and not be filled with students/drunks). Then I discovered Tonic... The 'Relaxosphere is open for blissness' from 1pm every day until 11pm (sometimes later if it's busy) seven days a week, so it's the perfect way to start or end an evening. With free wifi, you can also use your laptop and work, which I often do... The ambience can't be beaten and the owners, Mark & Heinz offer wonderful, warm helpful service and often sit down to connect and have a conversation with the patrons. There are lots of regulars (of which I am now one) - I come here almost every day now.. and no, I don't work here! LOL My favorite drink on the menu is the "Inner Sanctum". Also be sure to try one of the amazing desserts (whether you are raw, vegan, or not.. you will find them delicious. For something different, or to help with the altitude or to shift your energy/mood, the oxygen is great. I don't do it often but it really does help a lot if I have had a challenging day and need to relax and shift my attitude. It always perks me up. Don't ask me how it works, but it does. I also laughed at the negative review by Grzegorz... definitely not the kind of person that frequents Tonic. It's not a place that attracts drinkers, negativity etc. It's probably the kind of place you either love or hate. The people that come here about love - and you can feel it. I'd say simply keep an open mind, be willing to try something different, embrace the unknown and try it for yourself. If it doesn't resonate, there are plenty of other bars and places close by to go. If it does, you'll appreciate what a unique and special place this is, and will want to keep on coming back. I only had one reservation about providing this review for Tonic - and that is a little part of me wanted to keep this place a secret little sanctuary and not tell anyone about it. But I do think it's the kind of place that everyone needs to experience, if you feel drawn to anything you have read in these reviews. If you need to soothe or feed your soul... you won't want to miss a Tonic experience. PS. Tonic does not allow children, so can't rate it as family friendly. read more

Super chill vibes. They can help recommend you a drink for whatever it is that your body needs based on what you tell them. They also have an oxygen bar read more

This is one of my absolute favorite spots in Boulder. The lounge is super cute and cozy, the drinks are incredible and the service is so friendly and helpful. The Mug of Love is my favorite! All of the teas, drinks and elixirs are so unique! The menu itself is an adventure. Highly recommend! read more

I found this place to be a delightful and reasonably priced experience. We had 20 minutes of O2, O2 Water and I ordered the Shroom Shake, which tasted just like a high-end chocolate shake. This was my first experience at an Oxygen Bar, and I'll definitely be back. I had the 'Respiration' Oxygen mix. The conversation around me was genuine and empowering. You can tell the owner puts great care into holding this place in the highest vibration for those in Boulder and those visiting to enjoy. I'll definitely be back and bring people who would appreciate this atmosphere to the fullest. read more

This place is absolutely the coolest! From the owners to the staff to the patrons who frequent- AWESOME!! The vibe is something that will stay with you and it's addicting. If loving this place is wrong, I don't wanna be right... read more

Absolutely in love with this place. We just enjoyed a Kefir Elixir that helps with digestion. Mine was with Tumeric and my friend Geri, had a Berry Blast. Now we are enjoying 20 minutes of Young Living Essential Oil Oxygen. Mine was for Energy and my friend Geri chose Release. Stay tune as we relax and enjoy this amazing treat. read more

Tonic Alchemy Lounge - Looking for a cool place to hang out & enjoy Herbal Elixirs, Teas & SMARTini's. Look no further. This place is cool and hip. - Tea Rooms Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I really struggled deciding between 3 and 4 stars on this place. Vibe: Yes, this is total hippy/organic type place. Personally, I think the general interior is quite charming with unique art and attitude. With that said, small seating space and tight quarters during any live sets make this place too crowded for comfort. 4 for coolness; 2 for tight spaces Service: slow and not well-staffed in my experience. They were definitely not efficient and I would definitely recommend that the servers hold off on the cheeb before they get to work. 2 stars. Menu: I really liked the offerings as they were unique and tasty. I really enjoyed my crazy beverage that had all kinds different additives and anti-oxidants. I also liked the oxygen bar. yes, it is pretty hippy foo frro but what the hell--it was fun and tasty. 4 stars. Overall: I liked the place and I would recommend it for couples or dates. I would avoid nights where they have special events or going with children as the cramped nature of the place and slow-footed service will drive you batty. read more

If you want to swim into a mystical Cheshire-cat LSD sea that is a dark, blueberry-bubbling libation where inhabitants speak of secret wisdoms and where the chosen ones are welcome to relax and be stimulated at the same time, Tonic is that portal. It is just off Pearl Street, but basically you are transported to another world. They keep the room dim, and the menu of elixirs is extensive. People are welcome and left to their pleasures as they desire. I always feel creative here and look forward to speaking with the conductor of the den. I cannot say enough good things about it, and everything is more reasonably priced than most anywhere in Boulder, if you want to get practical about it. Tonic is like some pulsating bio-room out of an Octavia Butler novel that injects its tentacles into you when you enter. read more

I've been going to Tonic for years - it's my favorite spot on Pearl St. The vibe is really special and I love their elixirs. They recently worked with me on a big bulk order for a special event, even though that's not something they seem to typically do. I really appreciated their flexibility! read more

Tonic Lounge is a really special spot in Boulder. It's a super chill and relaxing getaway on Pearl Street, with incredibly friendly staff and amazing non-alcoholic drinks. Would highly recommend. read more

This is my favorite spot in Boulder. I often refer to Tonic as "my living room". The ambience, people, snacks, and drinks are the best. read more

Original owner, Mark, has returned, and that is great! This is a pleasant and deeply relaxing place to rejuvenate and re-energize! Nice selection of raw food desserts, too! Attentive service. I still can barely tolerate the parking situation in downtown Boulder. That's the only downside for me. Next time I'll take RTD or ride my bike! read more

I love Tonic. I come here almost everyday to do my work in peace and tranquility. The menu is overflowing with exotic herbal elixirs, teas, botanical hydrosols, and spoondrops. Just about every item on the menu is exclusive to Tonic- you cannot get anything like it anywhere within a 1500 mile radius. The people who come to Tonic are amazing, real inspirational creative individuals who bring so much to the bar. Tonic isn't just a bar, it's a community center for healers and artists to refuel. The owner Mark is amazing- the whole concept of Tonic was created out of his imagination and vision and he really cares deeply about the place and the customers. The service is excellent and he adds a personal touch to your experience there. Tonic also has a wide array of Raw vegan snacks, and recently added an all-raw meal menu created by raw vegan chef Meredith Frantz (www.therawseed.com). Her meals are 7-10 dollars and taste amazing- everything is organic and local when possible. Tonic is primarily advertised as an oxygen bar, but is is so much more. read more

It's amazing that I've spent so much time on the West End and never walked into Tonic until last week. I'm not sure what finally shifted our resolve, but as our night was coming to a close, we decided to go see what it was about. Inside, we found some of the most relaxed vibes possible. Dim and pulsing lights bring a motion to the room, and artfully curated songs brought the lounge to life. We knew we were there for oxygen (because honestly none of us had ever tried it, and we were all skeptics). After looking briefly at the menu, I decided upon the "energy" flavor (?), which was only $8 for about 10 minutes. We also ordered some blueberry herbal tea. The next 10 minutes were some of the most lucid I've had in recent memory. I can't exactly describe the aroma of my particular flavor, but it was something like the fantastic smell of a new home, with some herbal remedies included. Of course, this isn't something that's going to make you turnt - so to speak - but it certainly cleared my head and brought some life to us and our conversation. The tea helped as well. This is obviously not the point of the lounge, but after a few drinks across the street, this 10 minute session helped me go from 60mph to 10mph - if you catch my drift. Bummed that we didn't try any of the tonics, but they certainly hooked us! I'm sure we'll be back. read more

Fun, little hippie joint in Boulder. Go for the under-the-tongue tonics (they come on a tiny spoon and burn for 2 seconds, but make you feel great!) Definitely a side street hidden gem in Boulder. I love to meet a friend here for a chill night or a great cup of fresh Kombucha. Service is a bit slower, but who cares? That is supposed to be the vibe here... no one is in a hurry and it's kind of nice. read more

I love Tonic! Mark, the owner, is loved by all of the many regulars that frequent this fantastic spot. Mark is a wonderful person who knows every one of his customers by name, knows their drink, seating preference, and if they want him to, their lives. The menu is extensive and delicious, including more than just "flavored" oxygen. Jun, ling, tinctures, potions, teas and more, not to mention the amazing raw and vegan desserts in the fridge. Tonic is a great place to come with friends to catch up or chill out, or to come alone and relax or even get some work done. If you've been skeptical about coming here, just come. It's totally worth it. read more

Amazing. Friends and I spent a good few hours having some oxygen and trying all types of drinks from tea, to jun, to ish. Never been any place like this and I can honestly say New York is SLACKING we need a place like this. Ironically the owner is from Long Island. Seriously go here and get your zen on. Also, local woman sells vegan cakes and the likes. SO GOOD. I bought 5 to go lol. read more

I love this place! And I had to laugh at the reviewer below who said that Tonic is "everything that's wrong with Boulder." Yes, if you're not into the Boulder hippie organic-everything vibe, you'll hate this place. I don't mind it, though, and I enjoy going there. It's great for people like me with restricted diets and health issues--if you're gluten-free, you can get things like raw cheesecake that taste *really good* and you can sample from the huge menu of unusual drinks. I've never done the oxygen thing, so I can't comment. It's a nice (small) alternative to a bar. read more

Went here for first time with a group of friends. I didn't know what to expect all I knew is that they serve exotic drinks and the place promise a relaxing experience. After trying a few drinks we ended up loving this place ! They serve alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks so there are options for everyone and also they have desserts. The place itself is unique with comfy sofas, few books and amazing relaxing music, the two owners are beyond welcoming and nice. We felt super good and relax the whole time, is easy to talk because most of the bars have really loud music. Tonic does not, prices also are pretty affordable which makes it easy to try new drinks, the drink names were very appealing like " love potion", " love huasca" or "smartinis". I will totally come back here, I found my new fav place :) read more

Great place to chill out and unwind. Really nice, tranquil space filled with a mixture of relaxing aromas in the air. The velvety, cushy couches are great to lounge on or to cuddle up to someone. They have a huge variety of offerings, the 12+ page menu left my head spinning with decisions to make but in the end I was very happy with my picks. I love that they have a diverse range of herbal elixirs that are any combination of raw, vegan, vegetarian, non-alcoholic, and alcoholic. It felt very accepting of all walks of life and dietary restrictions. I got the Respiration oxygen treatment since I had particularly bad allergies that day. The Eucalyptus really helped to clear my sinuses. I also got a big, cozy Mug of Love which was absolutely delightful. I believe it was vegan and contained raw cacao nibs sprinkled on top of chocolate almond milk. Definitely a must-try! read more

Last week was the first time that I have visited an Elixir bar in my life. If, even 24 hours before, you had told me that I would find myself sitting at a bar that served oxygen and $7 kombucha, I may have smacked you in the privates. However, for whatever reason, there I found myself running up a tab and feeling good about it. From the outside it's hard to tell what this place is. Sure, there's an A-frame right by the front door, but it's barely noticeable especially if you're in Pearl St mode. This made it a bit hard to find, but I'm glad because this means that others will find it hard to discover as well. The more people that discover a place like this, the less I want to go. I used to go to alcohol bars and run up tabs in the triple digits, which is what I told myself made it ok to go enjoy a couple pricey yuppie drinks at Tonic. After one visit and two drinks, I'm hooked. I have recently quit drinking alcohol and have been looking for places to hang out by myself where I don't have to get wasted. Coffee shops are ok, but I can only handle so many cups. I had some kind of happy drink and an absinthe and left Tonic only $13 in the hole and feeling like I was floating on a cloud. Although I can't bring myself to pay for oxygen (maybe one day when I'm drinking again and feel hungover), but there is no doubt in my mind that I'll be back to Tonic. read more

Wow - I am glad I discovered this place. There may not be a more perfect shop for the Boulder lifestyle! It is hard to tell if it is open from the outside, but once you step in, you walk into another world - natural healing lounge world. There are various couches and love seats and a 'bar.' There is quite an interesting crowd and very clearly many regulars.....We set up shop at the bar. As I was not feeling well, I really explored their various offerings - trying anything the 'bartender' recommended. I drank mushroom concoctions, inhaled scented oxygen, and took elixir shots. While I am not sure if it made me any healthier - I will attest to the fact that I left feeling super relaxed and at peace with the world. If you are looking for a relaxing moment or evening and willing to try some uber natural health products, there is no better place. I look forward to my next trip! read more

I'm so sorry to report my unfortunate experience here. I will first start with the positive: the spoon drops are very effective (albeit for a rather short time). The man behind the counter, and the vibe of the place (other guests, etc) was very disturbingly unwelcoming to newcomers, however. It's this kind of "spiritual clique" attitude that is incredibly heart-closing and a turn off. I asked the man behind the counter what he would recommend out of a few tonics/elixirs I was thinking about, for particular issues I was currently feeling. His response was "well you're just going to have to read the menu" and walked away from me. I did read the menu, but I was just looking for some more guidance. Before I asked my questions, I figured I would be met with an open-hearted soul who was keen on welcoming newcomers, but he spent most of his time joking with the regulars sitting at the bar and all but ignoring my presence and questions, or rushing me to decide on what I wanted with this attitude of disdain. And mind you, I only asked about 2 questions. I wasn't being bothersome, I was just new to him and his establishment and wanted to know more. Then, I tried the oxygen infused with what I assumed was essential oils, as it listed them in the menu. It was a bubbling water that aerated through a very new, and very plastic-y smelling hose. While I appreciated it was obvious the hose you put into your nose was new and not used, I got a headache from the fumes of the plastic. And I smelled absolutely no essential oils, which usually calm me and affect me quite a bit. But I felt no effects, either. So midway through, I asked if it was supposed to smell like anything, and he was like "oh yeah, you should be getting a huge whiff of it!". I said I didn't, but he didn't do anything, just said it should be the same formulation as all of them. Finally, I actually just walked away from the bar before the oxygen ended because I was getting a headache, when a random customer angrily (but in that sacrosanct "spiritually suppressed" anger) said I wasn't open to the experience and I needed to chill out and just breathe and accept what it is. Excuse me? You don't know my inner being and my experience. I was expecting, and even asked if I was to expect, an aromatic experience, and one that would calm me. Instead, I was more agitated and had a headache from the sudden increase in oxygen and the strong smell of plastic. I'm sorry if you think I should be "accepting all the molecules in my system" (that may or may not be there) and just sit through that negative experience longer, but I know what my body and mind were reacting to, and my spirit was certainly not enjoying being next to your energy, either. And now, to cap off the disappointing (and all but calming) evening, I spent $30+ on stuff I could have gotten for much less (or for much greater quantities) from a homeopathic pharmacy. Next time, I will just ask a homeopathic practitioner to recommend some flower essences and buy the bottles myself, taking the "spoon drops" in the comfort of my own, truly sacred space, and not one of incredibly stuck up "spiritual" individuals who condescend others because they don't think others are "doing it right" or "experiencing it right." - and to PAY for that experience, on top of it all, was disheartening. Never going back, primarily because I believe, just like corporations, the vibe and ethos of an establishment is set from the CEO or leader, and the man behind the counter (the owner) was the opposite of welcoming or open-hearted. A very uncomfortable experience, and I was ripped off with the oxygen. Why pay money for that? read more

Walked in with no greet and weird vibes. I've studied herbal medicine and been to many tonic bars also worked at Cafe Gratitude for two years making many tonics and elixirs. I don't care if you have good quality if your customer service is bad, you create that reputation. The vibe I got was not welcoming. For that reason I will not return. If you want good vibes, maybe it was just a bad day for the guy who was working, even then I still cannot recommend it. read more

A friend took me to Tonic yesterday. It's a totally zen hangout with a really good vibe. It's all about vitality and rejuvenation. They have a large menu of herbal elixirs that have different properties for health and well being. You just sit back in one of the big armchairs or at the bar and they serve up your alchemical goodness. They have healing sessions that consist of a long session of oxygen, herbal tinctures and drinks. I got the "energy" healing session and I felt great afterwards. It's a good place to have a conversation with a friend. They have WiFi too. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a zen experience read more

It was an ok experience, seems like the bar tender knows all the locals so pays more attention to them and gave us o.k. service, probably won't go again. read more

So many cool tonics teas and mixed drinks - it was like a library in here . I would definitely come back and spend a lot of time here

Amazing atmosphere! So informative! Great tasting drinks and awesome set up all around! Would definitely recommend, and can't wait to come back! read more

Reading the reviews I can see some other people had similar experiences with the owner being extremely rude. Went to the bar for a menu and he threw one over and didn't even make eye contact. Do you really think that's going to make me feel welcome in your business? I got a really strange vibe and ended up leaving, not that he ever asked if we wanted to order anything anyway. I enjoy tonics and am interested in Chinese medicine so I'm really disappointed by my experience at tonic. Won't be back. read more

This place is really interesting! I've done the oxygen bar and a kefir cocktail. It was super relaxing and a really nice place to just hang out with a couple friends. Will be coming back for sure! read more

This is the best oxegen bar. Quite pricey but they do a great job taking care of you.

Tonic may be the absolute best place to people watch. The crowd (and I do mean crowd, considering the small size of the lounge) is full of upbeat, free-spirited people & their energy really is contagious. Tonic offers pages upon pages of elixirs, teas, potions, & so on for everything imaginable. I ordered a beverage called a Red Lotus Blossom that was supposedly full of nurturing ingredients I've never heard of & can't pronounce. I think it was actually just a wine cooler, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. There was a small-scale DJ playing trance & ambient music surrounded by a gathering of people letting loose & dancing. These people were really dancing; I've never seen anybody so completely at one with the music. Not to mention, no one was grinding themselves against anyone else, something I find particularly refreshing in this day & age. I can't say much about the oxygen, as I didn't get any, but the people who did seemed beyond relaxed from what I could tell. This is a fantastic place to sit & relax with some really outgoing & out-there people. read more
