Alchemist (The Mill)

There are quite a few outlets of Alchemist Coffee, but none are like the one housed at The Mill. The building is painted entirely in black and gives off a Gothic feel, looking simultaneously imposing and eerie.

What I like about this outlet of Alchemist is its obscurity and high ceiling with a gorgeous chandelier. There are two blends of coffee beans on offer and I picked Dark Matter.

My 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 was smooth and medium-bodied, giving off hints of hazelnut. The 𝗣𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗼 𝗥𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗖𝗿𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗻, with a crispy, flaky exterior hiding a fragrant and sweet pistachio and raspberry cream, was outstanding as well.

Awesome place to grab a cuppa. Do yourself a favour and drop by.

Price was surprisingly very affordable!
Coffee and pastries price ranges around $4~$6 (iirc)!
Very savoury, love it! Even the environment was great and chill.

This Alchemist outlet is hidden in a fortified gothic building. Ordered something simple, a cup of coffee and croissant, to recharge myself. Gambare

As weird as it sounds I’ll actually miss drinking coffees in cafés. Yes I know takeaway coffee has been an actual thing since the first boomer was born, but pounding down coffees in the office (apparently pounding down hard liquor in the office is strictly verboten) is a far cry from savouring a cuppa in a café. Especially when said coffee is an iced mocha from @alchemist.sg.⠀

Their proprietary Dark Matter blend is probably the best coffee blend I’ve had in Singapore and some say JB. Intensely chocolatey, silky smooth and a dummy THICC a-uh, I meant to say body, this beaut of a brew is definitely one to savour and cherish. Yes, this coffee turns me on, I’m Mr Coffee with an automatic drip.

In love with the ambience, deco of the cafe/building - monochromatic and gothic feels which is perfect for OOTD. Had the hot chocolate (with the flower art) and black coffee. The coffee has some sourish taste which is abit disappointing though

If y’all didn’t already know, @alchemist.sg has opened its newest outlet at Gotham City, a mere stone’s throw away from my sweatshop. To go with the gothic architecture of the building, the seating area of the café is also done up in the gothic style, while the counter & brewing area is in the more familiar brutalist style that Alchemist usually does.

Not gonna lie, ever since being eternally spoiled by Australian coffees, I only really found one (now defunct) coffee joint that could even approach that high standard. However, Alchemist might be the first to achieve parity in quality with the fabled ‘strayan café cuppas. I got an iced mocha ($6.50) that was brewed using their proprietary bean blend called Dark Matter. This all Brazilian beauty is mildly acidic but intensely chocolatey, slightly nutty with a little sweet aftertaste. In other words, Alchemist’s mocha is probably the best damn mocha I’ve had in Singapore. ⠀

It’s a beyond perfect pick me up, and I foresee myself regularly dumping a fair chunk of cash at these amazing caffeine alchemists in the future.
