Alchemista Coffee Potions: Reviews & Ratings
Great Monday morning chill here. Great vibe, great coffee, highly recommend.
Probably the best hot chocolate so far i had in Norwich. Really popular place and small, so if you bring a group of 5 people will be hard to find sits to everyone. (I believe there's only one table for 5/6 people. But worth going!
Booked afternoon tea for birthday treat, the sandwiches and cakes were beautifully presented and so many!! Boxes provided for us to take the left overs home! Lots of of extra special coffees the building was so nicely decorated staff were really helpful definitely recommend
Fantastic shop! So unique and me and my husband tried their special drinks! Amazing! I have the toad and he had some Magnus drink. Both delicious! Although my husband's was very strong! Could only handle a sip! The cafe has 2 levels of seating. Metal stairs to access 2nd level and the toilets are on the 3 rd but the stair case is very steep. There are baby changing facilities in the ladies toilet but again, lots of steep stairs. But the bathrooms are as unique as the rest of the shop! Very friendly staff who allowed us to bring our dog in too. Thank you Alchemista for a great treat!!! Xx
Good coffee and alternative milks. Not much gluten free though unfortunately for me. My husband loves their sandwiches and cakes.
My favourite coffee shop in norwich. I have sat in and enjoyed the atmosphere, and taken out. Always great. Haven't got food but the sandwiches look nice, I always get coffees / hot chocolate.
To me it is the best coffee in Norwich. Flat white with oat milk! omg Very stylish place..with all time beautiful details, decorations, lovely people working there. They are busy all the time. You can sit outside, upstairs, take away. For hungry people options too. Definitely come again!
Always welcoming and friendly staff, good drinks selection if you don't fancy coffee, and they have a list of specials that just work.
