Part-Time Barista

About Us

Dedicated to making quality coffee approachable and accessible to all.

Alchemist started out in May 2016, serving coffee to the community around International Plaza.

As a small hole-in-the-wall coffee joint located within the bustling Central Business District, the first step began with a commitment to the delivery of great coffee in a simple and no-frills approach. These later became our founding values that we as a small local business take pride in.

In 2019, we took a big leap of faith and launched our flagship store at Khong Guan Building. A sanctuary within a heritage building where you can enjoy a fresh brew of coffee, in full view of our roastery in action.

Over the last few years, we stayed committed to the delivery of simple and no-frills coffee experience in each and every one of our coffee bar. We now have 15 outlets in total, including Hong Leong Building, The Heeren, The Mill, CIMB Plaza, Asia Square, 71 Robinson, Ocean Financial Centre, Funan, Plaza Singapura, The Sail, Novena Square 2, Singpost Centre and Arab Street.
