The Chef reccomendThis place has great sandwiches, great coffee, great decoration and great staff What more can you want?
I run a social group Norwich Social Adventure and have used this place a number of times during 2019-2020 and the service is very friendly and the staff helpful. I enjoyed the coffee and cake. Slightly off the main shopping circle which is nice and the size is cozy, there is an upstairs if the ground floor is full. A nice place to have a relaxing cuppa.
I booked afternoon tea for my birthday after seeing some reviews on TripAdvisor. When we arrived we had a table reserved and somebody came to take our drink orders. After our drinks arrived the huuuuuge stand of sandwiches and cakes came out. There was SO much food. We both requested vegetarian options when I booked and we had 3 types of sandwiches on the bottom (tomato and hoummous, cheese and caramelised onion chutney, and egg mayonaise) in the middle we both had a scone with clotted cream and strawberry jam, a slice of lemon and pistachio cake and a slice of red velvet cake. On the top were 4 amazing caramel brownies, topped with vegetarian marshmallows and strawberries with some fresh raspberries. We were so full by the time we got to the top layer but luckily we were given a box so we could take the brownies home! The staff were really nice and checked to make sure we were enjoying the food and if we needed any more drinks.
Me and my sister booked 2 traditional afternoon teas in November, ready for a visit in Norwich today. All the staff were lovely, greeting us and offering us plenty of drinks throughout. Staff took a picture of us and nothing seemed like too much of a problem for them. Even offered to put us upstairs if needed, as we were placed by the door on a cold day. Plenty of food for us two and we were given boxes to take the rest home. The red velevet cake was the best! The price is very reasonable for what you got and we will defo be returning in the future. Thinking of booking my 21st birthday here👀
Having read about this place we found it for the first time yesterday. Very friendly and informative staff. The coffee was good and the cakes moorish. I particularly liked the lime and zucchini cake. We will return.
I took my parents here for afternoon tea. The food was awesome. The staff were incredibly friendly and lovely atmosphere. My parents had a fabulous time.
We had afternoon tea which was absolutely superb. The staff were very efficient and friendly. I highly recommend this place.
I popped in here for the first time today and wow was I blown away, what an amazing example of an indipendent coffee shop so quirky and unique, the food is all hand made and fresh everyday, the hand crafted coffee is unique and unusual with a terrific flavour, and to top it of the manager sets it all off with a friendly warm welcome so that when you leave even if he dosen't know you, you feel a part of the Alchemista family. Will 100% recommend.
This is a great coffee shop. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The staff are really friendly and attentive. Would definitely be recommending this to others and returning again when next in Norwich.
A little gem of a place. The Barista recommended opus magnum. Not disappointed. Lovely atmosphere. Knowledgeable and passionate staff. What more do you need. This is a hidden gem that must be discovered.
We went for afternoon tea with my friend's 3 year old. The manager who dealt with our booking was warm and welcoming and our beautiful spread was ready on arrival. We particularly loved the skull cups of cream and the caramel centred brownies topped with fresh strawberries. My friend's little girl was kept happy with little pots of fruit just for her. The staff were very accomodating and we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere.
Warm friendly welcome, good background music and delicious coffee. I had to find somewhere to sit and work whilst my wife was at the hairdressers. I was made to feel welcome.
We visited Alchemista as a group of 10 for a Christmas outing afternoon tea. The staff were so friendly and accommodating when we booked and had to make a couple of calls to change the party number and dietary requirements; nothing was too much trouble. The cafe is fantastic; so cosy with a great Steampunk theme. We loved the fact we could help ourselves to tap water - nice touch - and the dispenser was so cool! The afternoon tea was fantastic value - really generous, everything was freshly made and delicious! We all had to take boxes home as we were so full. The service was brilliant and the coffee perfect too. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much :)
One of the best little coffee houses in Norwich, brilliant coffee, great cocktails, lovely service, yummy cakes
The staff created a lovely warm and friendly atmosphere. I was very impressed with the excellent service and wide range of dairy free/vegan options available. Would highly recommend if your looking for a cosy hideaway to enjoy your favourite drink or coffee related tipple. 10/10.
One of the best coffee shop I have ever been too! The customer service was so kind and friendly. Will forever be my go to coffee shops in Norwich
Excellent service, very welcoming as soon as you come through the door, and great tasting coffee, I can definitely see why I was recommended to come here. 10/10
Not your average coffee shop! Alchemista has a unique quirky vibe with amazing staff, and outstanding coffee. Me and my sister went for the afternoon tea at the weekend and were far from disappointed. Staff were friendly and attentive to all our needs and made us feel so welcome, nothing was too much trouble We went for the coffee cocktails to start with which went down a treat ( I recommend the purgatory) the afternoon tea was beautifully presented with a huge variety of sandwiches and cakes to tuck into and very good value for money. Will definitely be returning again:)
Brilliant coffee, some of the best in town. Lovely atmosphere and the friendliest staff! The steampunk theme makes it all the better too. Definitely coming back.
