The scones are the best pastry I’ve ever had!! The coffee and the vanilla smoothie are AMAZING
Closed.
Follow the aroma of freshly roasted beans. Great coffee, and delicious freshly baked scones!
One of the few places that manages to retain the coffee taste in their speciality drinks (lattes, mochas, etc.). Had myself a mocha with just the right balance of sweetness in the chocolate and coffee in the aftertaste. On top of that, I showed up 10 minutes after their closing time and they had 3 customers in front of me and served us all, easily staying another 10 minutes and providing fantastic service. Visit this place when you're around. 5 stars easily.
Love, love, love this place. Coffee is awesome. Best scones too. Buy yourself a scone wheel, they freeze fine.
---update--- i'm stuck at work and missing their scones/coffee. How do we get delivery? Thanks! Best scone I’ve ever had!!! Thank you for the walnut/date recommendation
Best scones on North Shore.
Cute little Café with delicious scones and great coffee!
Picking up treats for a visit. Quirky, friendly vibe. Chocolate cherry scone was amazing! Now I know what to bring for listing appointments.
Good coffee and bakery items too.
I'm a huge scone fan, so I was very excited to try the scones at Alchemy. The scone itself was great, I wasn't so much a fan of the cranberry variety because I prefer fresh fruit in a scone. I could tell that high quality ingredients were used. I also got an iced americano and I really enjoyed the drink. I wish the business was open more days of the week, I would definitely come more often!
Coffee is 3/5 stars very mediocre, owner flipped out today because his phone/register went missing. He was so rude, yelled at his staff ( I think son and a wife ) they seemed very stressed too when it happened. The owner paced around yelling and literary freaking out. I couldn’t believe he thought not only that was acceptable but also how is it possible for someone to be so angry and violent, especially REPRESENTING YOUR OWN BRAND. All I have to say is wow. So coffee 3/5 vibe & customer care 1, I’d do a zero for that but I can’t. So u get 2 stars, and honestly , u r welcome.
Larry David worthy coffee and scones.
Amazing coffee but the owner's vibes were not it.
Great coffee and amazing scones! We stop by every Sunday on our way to the beach and are never disappointed.
Get a mixed coffee drink, straight up was a little burned tasting. Scones were on point!
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.
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.
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 😊
True local coffee shop feel!!
