Alchemy Coffee

Alchemy Coffee VCU-based, third wave coffee shop specializing in skillfully crafted beverages To share in this experience is a distinct privilege.

People's relationship to coffee is personal and intimate: it's where function and emotion intersect. Our mission is to enhance this experience through consumer education, a scientific process to quality and an approachable tone. We seek to encourage and direct those in pursuit of the perfect cup, both within our four walls and beyond. Our story is complex and meandering. We began in Richmond, VA w

ith a sidewalk coffee trailer in the fall of 2012. After bouncing around the city for several years, we fell in love with an open spot at VCU and decided to open our first storefront on campus in the newly renovated Arts Depot building. A few years after that, we decided to close up shop but then received a message on Instagram from a local restauranteur that was eager to keep the shop alive. He bought the shop, we sold the trailer, and now Alchemy exists under new ownership but still in the VCU Arts Depot building. We've added more food options and broadened our beverage selection. Visit us any day of the week from 8a-7p

Dear Richmond,
Our beloved barista and coworker Desmond has been in the hospital with some health issues for over a week. They are such a happy smile, always kind and ready to work. We know that this snow has unfortunately led many people in our community to be off of work for a few days, but if you have any dollars to spare, we have made a GofundMe with the link in our bio to help out our dear friend and coworker. Anything helps! We are wishing them a swift recovery and return to work! The link to the gofundme is: https://gofund.me/4401f6e23
