Some of the best cold brew in KC... I often keep a growler in the fridge, refilling it at one of several spots in downtown KCMO.

Cozy brunch spot downtown Lawrence. The house mug of coffee was delicious. The homemade biscuits were amazing - need more meat, toppings and/or jelly to go on their sandwiches for the price.

A quick stop in to get out of the cold and my wife loves the coffee. I get the benefit of sharing an awesome giant peanut butter kiss cookie. What a treat and great place to visit! More...

Alchemy is a one-of-a-kind coffee shop! Artisanal, high-quality, and always presented with care, you certainly won’t find a superior cup anywhere else in Lawrence. Alchemy was the first place I ever tried a draught coffee. It’s phenomenal! Their new downtown location is spectacular, and that expanded space was much needed. If you’re a serious coffee drinker like myself, do not miss an opportunity to visit Alchemy! More...

This is the original Alchemy location. It's expensive but totally worth it.My girlfriend and I stayed with some friends who live nearby for a few days while we were in between apartments last summer. I could not live within walking distance of this place. I would spend all of my money here.Parking is limited, but workable if you know what to look for. The space is small and the ambiance is smart and modern. There are only a handful of seats, but the options do not feel limited. My go-to was a large cold brew with dark chocolate almond milk and whatever pastry looked the most scrumptious that day. The little garden area to the west of the entrance is so cute and feels so intimate! It's the kind of place where you can find a restful moment in nature before heading to work. Though I have had my share of rogue bee/wasp/hornet encounters in this beautiful sitting area.The people who work here are nice and do a good job of judging how much interaction I'm down for in a given morning. This is the kind of place where silence with the barista feels natural and easy. More...

This is a serious coffee place. The decaf pour over I had was excellent. There was a very limited selection of baked goods when I came. Ambience is stark modern.

Best coffee I have had in a long time. Friendly staff and quiet setting. Good for dates.
Cons.
Very small place, louder than normal music and less variety in coffee flavors.

Good service and nice atmosphere. Mostly coffee and baked goods, most if not all made in house.

This mom & pop café is first rate. The baked goods by mom Joni are delicious. The gourmet coffee selected by pop Ben are awesome. Cold brew coffee on tap. Varieties from many countries with sophisticated notes on each. Come often as the bakers vary the fare. More...

Alchemy has quickly become a foundational part of the Lawrence community. It breathes out baked good smells into the zippy side streets. Although the location and parking is quirky, any possible negatives are overcome by the friendly staff and love filled baked goods. Coffee Brewing gear mimics an alchemist's kitchen as simple beans are transformed into liquid gold for the drinker. Brass accents trim the shop in a unique and zesty way making Alchemy a truly Lawrencian location. Will return till I am physically unable. More...

Best coffee shop and bakery I've ever been to by a long shot. The attention and knowledge that Ben and Joanie bring to their crafts are beyond. There is a constantly rotating selection of perfectly roasted beans from ethical sources. Their pour overs are a must. You should definitely give their draughts a taste, too. The baked goods are far above any other bakery anywhere. Joanie also makes cakes to order that are incredible. Try the lemon. I can't recommend this place enough. More...

This is some of the best coffee in Lawrence. Plan on playing along with the hipster, craft, small arthouse coffee vibe but play well and enjoy fine fresh coffee. Pretty much the exact opposite of Starbucks on the coffeehouse spectrum. More...

Alchemy is hands down my favorite coffee house. If you are a coffee lover, enthusiast, fanatic, connoisseur, savant, or if you are just a casual coffee enjoyer you will love Alchemy.
They take the time to understand how to bring out the best in the beans to make a purely delicious product. Whether you enjoy a pour over, an espresso, some cold brew, or just a classic drip press you will be thrilled with your drink. Oh, and as if fantastic coffee wasn't enough, they've got a world class bakery that serves up creative morsels daily that will never let you down.
I have never been disappointed at Alchemy and will forever stop in any time I'm in Lawrence area.
