3.5 out of 5
A cute little coffee shop that's opened up in Unionville with growing popularity meant I had to check it out. I visited Alchemy Coffee on a Wednesday afternoon for brunch. Right on entering, I noticed how tiny this place was, with the menu on the wall on the left and the cash right in front .
We ordered the roasted veggie eggs Benny and the buttermilk pancakes. You order at the front and then take a seat wherever you'd like and they bring out the food for you. You also pay when you order so it gets a bit confusing with tipping. There's lemon water available at the side where people can help themselves as well.
The food came out fairly quickly and you could tell it was made fresh based on how it tastes. The pancakes were hot and fluffy and the creamy condensed milk sauce added the perfect amount of sweetness to the dish. The blueberry sauce cut the sweetness as they were quite tarte and the cereal added texture to the dish. Overall, really good! The eggs Benny was also hot and fresh and quite a big portion, you got two eggs and a side salad and a large helping of roasted potatoes.
I would visit Alchemy Coffee again, for the drinks especially. I was peeping over at the other tables and could tell the drinks were made with care and patience; the latte art was so cute! They also had an array of pastries at the front including green tea cookies and croissants.
