"Situated in K-Town and formerly home to Bourbon Street Café, Alchemist Coffee Project aims to compete with renowned coffee shops like Intelligentsia, Blue Bottle, and LA Mill. They source high-quality beans from Onyx and offer a range of brewing temperatures and styles. Despite its New Orleans roots, the vibe feels distinctly "Los Angeles," with the staff embodying that classic aspiring actor-waiter persona. After browsing through their pastries and brewing equipment, I decided to try a cold brew priced at $5.50. The service was friendly, and the drink itself was exceptional—dubbed "the Elixir," it had a light sweetness and delightful floral afternotes."
