Alchemist Takeaway Coffee At International Plaza, Tanjong Pagar, Singapore - Facade

Alchemist One Notch Above Coffee At International Plaza – Tanjong Pagar, Singapore

The first time when we wer looking for Alchemist at International Plaza, I passed by the unit without realizing. We didn’t have the unit number on hand as such we gave up the search. We were glad that we decided to go back after we found the unit number.

 

When we arrived at Alchemist, looking at the skimpy outlet which without food other than coffee, we were disappointed. We almost left without ordering any coffee. Somehow, there was something prompting us to give it a try. The coffee turned out to be one of the exceptional outstanding cuppa where coffee snob should flock to.

The best part at Alchemist is they provided different coffee beans for selection. It seems like the varieties change from time to time. For espresso, Dark Matter and Kenya were available during our visit. Per the flavour note description, the former is bold and nutty while the latter is with blackcurrant and bergamot hint. Konga and Maraba Sovu III were for filter coffee. Lastly, the Batch Brew was using La Joyeria.

NAHMJ opted for White 8oz with Kenya Single Origin. As always, we never like having it in disposable cups. As such we were a little annoyed when we saw how it was presented. But beyond the look was the amazing coffee flavour that we appreciate. The cuppa was smooth and creamy, rounded finish with well balance elements. We could savour the light blackcurrant and little bergamot.

 

 

NAHMJ Verdict

 

NAHMJ would recommend Alchemist to all and particularly to the coffee snob out there. This is a must turn to place for caffeine fixes. A pity they don’t operate over the weekends.
