Alchemy Coffee & Bake House

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.

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. I'd definitely go back whenever I'm in the area.

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 we're 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.

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 father's week. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my father feel so special.
And the latte I had there was perfect!

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

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.

If you're 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!!

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 😊

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 sparrow's eat our crumbs. Perfect start to the weekend.

Cute little Café with delicious scones and great coffee!
