Alchemy Coffee is a café situated along the ground floor of a historic, pre-war Rittenhouse Square apartment building. Completed in 2022, the space is just under 1,000 SF and serves as a peaceful refuge along a bustling section of 21st Street just off the Walnut Street commercial corridor in the heart of Center City, Philadelphia.
A collaboration with a talented, passionate coffee connoisseur, Chris Stone (who comes from a James Beard Award-winning family) resulted in an interior reflecting the artisanal nature of the shop’s high-quality products and the mixed Japanese and West African heritage of its owner. Inspired by the third-wave coffeeshops of Tokyo – in both philosophy and approach – the attention to detail typically directed towards espresso was focused on creating a shop that rivals some of the best coffee bars in the world.
