Editor’s Note
Last updated 23 Oct 2026
We think Alchemist at the Khong Guan Building offers a distinct experience that sets it apart from its other outlets.
The location within the iconic heritage building, combined with a modern, minimalist interior, creates a unique and relaxing atmosphere that many visitors appreciate.
The high ceilings, natural light, and industrial aesthetic make it an ideal spot for those seeking a proper sit-down coffee rather than a quick takeaway.
Coffee quality is consistently praised, with options like the Dark Matter and Lumos beans for lattes, and a well-curated filter selection.
The El Frutal, a washed process Guatemalan bean, is noted for its bright apple and citrus notes, mellowing into milk chocolate.
Pastries like the Chocolate Croissant and Blueberry Danish are also well-received.
While the menu might be more limited than some other specialty cafes, the overall ambience and quality of drinks make up for it.
A minor point to note is the lack of cutlery for dine-in pastries, which can be a slight inconvenience.
We recommend this Alchemist outlet as a destination for its exceptional space and consistently good coffee, especially if you appreciate good design and a relaxed environment.
