Espresso Alchemy (美麗華廣場店)

I'm a regular here and the coffee never disappoints—absolutely worth the visit every time! The penne is fairly average, but the drinks and the service completely make up for it. During my lunch today, I witnessed the staff handle an incredibly difficult and impatient customer with absolute grace and professionalism. Despite the customer being unreasonable about standard payment policies, the waitress remained incredibly polite and composed throughout. Kudos to the team for maintaining such high standards under pressure!

Excellent coffee Excellent staff service The food leaves much to be desired. In particular, the bacon carbonara was bland and contained lots of cream - a big letdown as its not the proper way to make this dish

I had a really disappointing experience at Espresso Alchemy. The coffee itself was not great, but what made it worse was the service. The staff didn’t look happy or welcoming at all. One of our full coffee cups fell and spilled all over the table. Instead of helping or offering to replace it, the staff looked annoyed and did nothing. I’ve honestly never experienced that before. For a place that is supposed to be known for quality coffee, the customer service was very disappointing. I won’t be coming back.

Visited on a Sunday afternoon. The cafe is spacious with dozens of seats and gives a comfortable, relaxed feel. Service was fast—drinks arrived promptly. I had an iced latte: the milkiness was on the richer side, which I enjoyed. Oat milk is available for those who prefer a dairy-free option. The coffee leaned nutty by default, but they also offer a fruity-bean option if you like brighter notes. Pricing felt reasonable for the quality and setting. Overall, it’s a welcoming spot with plenty of space and quick turnaround, suitable for a short break or a casual chat. Would I return? Yes.

On a short family trip, and found this coffee place nearby hotel. Gave it a shot and quite impressed, so we visited again the next day. It serves all day coffee, pasta, bagel and sandwiches. We ordered smoked salmon cheese bagel, mushroom panini, pasta carbonara with bacon. Each meal served nicely and absolutely delicious! Also love the single origin Columbia Montoya. Highly recommended! If you order drink, you get 60 mins and 90 mins if you order food. Enough to fully enjoy what you order. Looks like the place is run by a family but very professionally run. Love it!
