Great coffee and amazing scones!We stop by every Sunday on our way to the beach and are never disappointed.

Gorgeous small cafe/bakery. The baked goods and drinks are fantastic. We tried their Vanilla Bomber which is a vanilla iced coffee smoothie... Game changing.

Always reliable, high quality neighborhood coffee shop. Best scones around! Very limited menu, basically just coffee and scones, but both are worth seeking out. They roast their own coffee beans and make the scones from scratch. Scones often sell out early. Very limited opening hours since March 2020, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from 7:00 to 1:00.

Very good cozy place. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. High quality coffee and fresh scones. If you dont live in the area, its worth the drive. Those are the local places that you must check out.

Came in on a Thursday. The service was friendly and observant. The place has a nice atmosphere.

Delicious coffee from a small neighborhood barista in Wilmette. Only open Fri-Sun and no indoor seating during COVID - window service only.No line when we arrived but one quickly formed behind us - things seemed to move quickly though. Baristas were attentive and friendly. They also offer a variety of scone options. Everyone in our party was really happy with their order. Will return and would certainly recommend to a friend.

Get a mixed coffee drink, straight up was a little burned tasting. Scones were on point!

Nice café. I work for the Chicago transit authority. When ever I am at linden station I always stop by for their awesome coffee and scones. The service is also awesome. Truly a very delightful and joyous experience 😊

A great cozy place to get fresh tasting Coffee!

A beautiful coffee shop, small and full of charm. The apricot scone I had was delicious and the coffee was good. I wish the coffee was a little bolder, but oh well. It was really quiet on the day I visited which was a pleasant surprise. Id definitely go back whenever Im in the area.

If youre just looking for a great place to get coffee look no further. Awesome local business, HIGHLY recommend. All coffee is roasted by Blaire with amazing coffee flavors that you might expect from hand crafted products. Staff is very nice. Drink Alchemy coffee!!

I came here an hour before close today and had a fresh biscotti and a large mocha, and both were perfect. The girls working there were helpful and sweet. Next time Im in town I will stop by again!

I accidentally dropped my purse on the nearby to the coffee house street where my car was parked. And when I realized I didn’t have my purse and drove back, someone found it and turned it in to the coffee place. It had my ID’s and some cash. Everything was there, nothing missing. I couldn’t thank those people who found it, but was thankful the coffee house gave it to me that someone turned it in. Based on this occurrence and a few others when I came here, it seems that the place has lots of positive people and positive energy.

Hi...i can offer you to build a website for your coffe shop..if you are interested, here is my [email protected]

My 93 year old father LOVES this coffee shop. He says that the scones and coffee are great. I had a chance to go there when visiting my dad this spring and the atmosphere and the barista were every bit as fabulous as he had described. Going to Alchemy is the highlight of my fathers week. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my father feel so special.And the latte I had there was perfect!

The atmosphere is very relaxing and almost homey. Very reasonably priced unlike most coffee shops and really do pay for what you get. The service is very good, everyone who works there is very friendly. It is the kind of coffee shop you can sit in for hours and just chat. Not to mention, all products are well done and tasty. In addition, it is a very clean shop.

They have delicious hot out of the oven scones, I had one with dates in it and the boys split one with chocolate chips. We sat outside at one of their little table. The boys were entertained by watched the little sparrows eat our crumbs. Perfect start to the weekend.

Most outstanding freshly roasted on site coffee, mouth watering iced coffee drinks, heavenly scones and baked goods. This is the type of place you discover and want to keep it a secret and share with everyone all at once. Old school, vintage, run by real people, not big corporation! Wish they could all be like this!

Cosy tiny coffee house, good coffee latte. Good location, close to the train station. Great and friendly stuff.

A nice little coffee shop, they roast their own beans and make their own scones. A surprisingly nice place in otherwise sleepy downtown Wilmette.

Well this place I found to be a spot where aspiring screen writer types meet and even the dogs have a bit of an attitude issue. Its located in a neighborhood of the super privileged so unless you ride the purple line to its end and walk West. There isnt much chance of stumbling into it. Small quaint, I cant see ever going out of my way for the coffee.

Standard list of coffee and tea and some bakery items. The limited outside seating is comfortable and peaceful. Not many cars come down that road

Alchemy is neighborhood gem that makes the best coffee and scones. The owners Julie and Blair are incredibly nice. They e created an amazing little coffee shop that brings a lot of warmth to the neighborhood

Great coffee shop. Coffee is better than most. People are nicer than most. Definitely worth a stop.

Wow! Rich coffee, scones so light they float off the plate and warm, welcoming atmosphere!

An awesome little place, and one of a kind. Cash only but I still go, which from me says a lot. Best scones Ive ever had, baked fresh daily. Music playing from a reel-to-reel player, owner Blairs taste in music is top-notch.

Absolutely amazing I cant live without this coffee in my life. You wont be disatisfyed

Great coffee. Great service. Amazing scones!

Exceptional little bit of heaven. Oh my...the scones!

Love this place!Small and intimate with delicious coffee extra extra hot just like I like it! Friendly and polite. Yummy

True local coffee shop feel!!

Great independent coffee house. They roast their own coffee.

They roast their own beans. Fantastic brewed coffee. I swing by whenever I am in town. Go.....its worth the wait.

Amazing coffee and service! Love this place! I came from one of the best coffee Countries And this place has a really good coffee! Love it!

This place was small, the owner was a bit cold. No wifi because the place is so small I was under the impression they did not want pole to linger. All of this is acceptable because ::THE COFFEE:: was ABSOLUTELY ::THE BEST::. The owner is a master of his trade.

Cosy place for coffee. Near Linden station

Excellent freshly roasted coffee, friendly atmosphere, and very easy to get to. Walking distance from both train stations & the lake. Plenty of parking.

The lady who was there today very angry. Glared at me when I was ordering. Staff usually much nicer though.

Great coffee and ridiculously good scones (arrive early and often!). Wonderfully eclectic music, sometimes via good ol reel-to-reel.

Nice little spot just a block away from the Linden EL stop. Outdoor tables, great coffee.

Great coffee if you go please try the chi cake I think it’s great I should have purchased 2 pcs.

Coffee is the best and the scones are to die for. It is so nice to have a privately owned shop in the neighborhood-- and the staff is really nice. Blair too.

Fantastic coffee. Come early for fresh baked scones, including rotating delicious flavors like cherry chocolate chip, apricot, and cranberry-apricot

Would appreciate it if they would start accepting credit/debit cards.

I just had my first coffee from Alchemy. Twice as good as anything Ive imbibed to date, and Im 65 years old. Yum.

Friendly local pot of coffee spot; they roast, grind and brew fresh.

Really cute coffee shop thats entirely unpretentious despite having some of the best roasted coffee that Ive ever had! Bring cash though!

Great local coffee vibe, and when asked when the coffee was roasted the answer was, well this one was done about 4 hours ago...

They roast their own coffee, always fresh. Amazing coffee drinks, great pastries.

Excellent little locally owned coffee roasters and brewers

One of the best cups of coffee of my entire life!

Disappointing. Latte way too hot, scalded the milk. Coffee roasted too dark.

Simply the best coffee and baked goods around!

Delicious

In house coffee roasting, fresh baked scones, friendly customer service, outside seating.

Great coffee, food, low prices, interesting decor and friendly staff. Whats not to like?
