Alchemist Coffee Overland

I’ve been coming to this location for quite a few years. Their original start was quite good, coffee was strong, house drinks were good and selection of pastries was good as well. And I must say, smelling and seeing that coffee roaster running was sooooo amazing. Sad it’s not there anymore. Then the change/push happened. Went from the usual coffee house to then catering to a different demographic. Everything changed. All of the substitutes arrived. Oat milk, most nut milks, gluten free everything, sugar free everything and dairy free everything. Pastry selection was good then dropped off to a few things here and there. They mostly serve from the kitchen menu vs display cabinet grab and go. Now, all that above is not bad. Just not for me. I can appreciate the change, as well as understand that many have these restrictions and also need somewhere to go. But sadly the house drinks became watery/ grainy and lacked that original punch, coffee isn’t as strong (to me I will add) and no I’m not an americano kinda guy. I want flavor and aroma. I will say that their avocado toast is AMAZING and the perfect portion. All in all, 10/10 would recommend to anyone. They just don’t quite fit what I’m looking for as well anymore.

Nice little coffee shop at a convenience location. I enjoyed an almond milk steamer & a gluten free blueberry muffin. It has a typical cafe feel & a few outdoor tables.
