The master is the specialist of tea, he taught me a lot of knowledge about the manners and meanings of having tea. Of course the taste is nice too so it’s recommended ever to visit here. (And the cat is really cute:))

I had the pleasure of experiencing the Tea Omakase at Tea Cafe Alchemy, and it was nothing short of magical. Each course was thoughtfully curated, pairing rare teas with delicate desserts that highlighted the unique flavor profile of each brew. The host was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about tea. Their explanations added so much depth to the tasting, making it not just a meal, but a journey through aroma, culture, and mindful sipping. The space itself was cozy and serene , a perfect blend of modern and traditional aesthetics. It felt like a quiet retreat in the middle of the city. From the handpicked teaware to the seasonal ingredients, every detail reflected care and intention. Whether you’re a tea enthusiast or simply curious, this is a one-of-a-kind experience that gently slows down time and invites you to savor every sip. Highly recommended if you’re looking for something intimate, elegant, and soul-soothing.

와플과 크로플!! 흑당라떼~ 사과쨈과 엄청난양의 크림!! 사진이랑 똑같이나옴 고급스런 크림으로 크로플에 찍어먹어도 환상적임 개냥이도 함께하는 카페 또 생각나고 먹고싶을듯

항상 사무실 간식으로 주문만 했는데 매장 처음 가네요. 매장은 조금 어수선하지만 커피 티 샌드위치 쿠키 모두 잘 관리된 재료로 신선합니다. 주문할때마다 모두 어디냐고 물어보세요 사장님 엄청 친절하시고

마음이 안정되는 분위기의 카페입니다. 기존의 다른 카페라고 보기에는 분위기는 다소 조용한 편이며 차를 처음 접하는 분이라면 차의 밋밋함에 실망하실수도 있다고 느낍니다. 머리가 복잡한날 따뜻함을 느끼고 싶으실때 들리시길 추천드립니다.
