Adorable little coffee shop that popped up on my Instagram page to check out. Located in Del mar, near board and Brew restaurant. I will say the coffee shop was a little bit smaller than Instagram made it up here, which fair enough reality versus Instagram is usually not the same. Nonetheless, it was a very adorable coffee spot! They have regular sets of tables, as well as Moroccan/Turish style floor seating, which i... View all feedback.
What Andrew Wilkinson doesn't like about Bohemian Alchemist:
Would not recommend unless you’re tryna get your vibe killed. I went in with my buddy to this place, we were not really greeted and perused the menu. When I asked for a personal recommendation I got a very bland and generic answer, with an annoyed tone. When I asked for clarification she repeated her words exactly in a more annoyed voice. I was taken off by this… the barista made me feel like why the heck did you ask... View all feedback.
Not worth the price. Nothing right in the order... ? sad, i was hoping a nice place with good arabic coffee.
This place sucks… how are you going to take 30 minutes to make a coffee and not provide WIFI. The ambiance is super cute but unfortunately, studying and working require WIFI. It’s 2024, level up.
3.5 stars 3 stars for the drinks and the food options and 0.5 stars for the ambiance. The Bohemian Alchemist shows up on my social media all the time so I finally decided to check it out. As with any place that seems to show up on social media all the time, I was a little disappointed with the experience.The ambiance is beautiful. The interior is a shout out to the middle eastern decor with low seating on gaddis , elaborate pillows, curtains, wooden tables and chairs with some interesting work on them, and metallic utensils, etc.The menu is very limited. They have a Turkish coffee, an Egyptian coffee, a chai, a latte version of the coffee, pour over/French press/cold brew, and some herbal options. They say they have baked goods, but those were also very limited and primarily sweet. I did feel that the blueberry tart I got wasn 't freshly baked in the morning. My friend liked the Turkish coffee. There was a Turkish delight presented with it. That is nice, of course, but not something that I 've seen happen in Turkey. So, it felt like a forced Turkish obviousness. I 'm not a big fan of how strong that coffee is, so I went with the Bohemian latte which was pretty good, but probably needs a sweeter element that is not sugar.Their MO is the sand brewed coffee. So, that is all I would recommend this place for. If you want a better coffee shop experience with Turkish coffee, you may want to look for something else.
It's just a fantastic, unique cafe with a menu you could not find anywhere else. If you are a “Starbucks” person, it is definitely not for you. But if you are looking for something spiritual and exciting, I totally recommend it.
The brew was rather skillfully made, a nice break from doing it at home. The Egyptian I ordered with a cardamom pod was a touch I had never tried before; it was really wonderful. The atmosphere is great and they’re so friendly even when slammed. Not a fast coffee method, so be prepared to wait if busy. Worth it though.
