Alchemy Juice Bar + Café

I called to purchase a gift card for my boss who is in Columbus for her son’s surgery at Nationwide Children’s. The staff was so friendly and helpful and even offered to hand deliver the card to the Ronald McDonald House, where they are staying. Amazing customer service! Thank you!

Thank you so much for coming to this location of the city. You’ve really brought some fresh flavor and light to the community. Great sandwiches (gluten-​free bread available for additional cost), smoothies, bowls, toast, cold pressed juices, salads and sides. Their curried chickpeas are fantastic (vegan and gluten-​free. Slightly pricey here for what you get, but it’s all natural ingredients so you are paying for what you get. We go here about once every two weeks so, we are fans!

Love their juice as well as their albacore sandwhich, acai bowls, avocado pudding and quinoa salad.
It would be 5 stars however they used to have high chairs and then they got rid of them. When I asked one of the women working why she stated that they no longer had room and that not a lot of families or people with kids came there and that it was mostly college kids. Every individual I see come in is either late 20’s or older. The gym above is very nice and definitely not in the budget of most college kids.

My partner and I went to Alchemy a while back and got a delicious fruit bowl. All of the bowls seem super tasty, and I’ll definitely be back to try more! However, I’m the type of person who doesn’t feel satisfied from eating a fruit bowl, so I’ll always leave hungry. Something to keep in mind! They do serve food as well, so that’s always an option to pair with your bowl. Additionally, they have a stand with to go juices if you’re on the run. Ambiance in Alchemy is great – it has lovely lighting and a minimalistic color scheme. I highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for some tasty fruit bowls!

Alchemy is my favorite Juice Bar in Columbus. and yes, if you want the honest truth, it’s better than ZEST. There I said it. JUDGE ME.
Here are the reasons why:
Service is top notch. Without a doubt, I don’t ever feel like I’m being ignored when I’m here. As soon as I walk in, I’m greeted. All the workers are so nice and they are willing to help if you don’t know what you want.
PRICE is very reasonable. You have a variety of things to choose from even if you are on a budget. So, you can spend as low as $ 3.50 to as much as $ 9. And if you get a glass bottle you can bring it back to recycle and get $ 0.25 off your next purchase.
DRINKS/​BOWLS can you say amazing? the Strawberry Chia and Grapefruit Basil were one of my faves. The bowls are um, delicious. The dragonfruit bowls (all their bowls actually) are IG perfect. So cute sometimes that you don’t wanna eat it… but you probably should cause it’ll melt. OH and if you’re wondering about the texture– consistency is about perfect. The amount of toppings are perfectly proportioned. I love you Alchemy. You guys get it right every time.

This place definitely hits the spot. I’m a big fan of their bowls, tho they are very expensive for the size. The dragon fruit bowl was particularly good and i’d def recommend trying that! I also tried their avocado toast which was good, but also really really expensive for toast. Never been a huge fan of paying for avocado toast lol, but oh well. There’s plenty of parking out back and I like the open layout of this place (also connected to a gym). I’ll be back to try more bowls as long as my wallet allows lol.

Oh my goodness, so many delicious juices, how to choose? I got the raw chocolate cashew milk and a dragon fruit lemonade. Both were delicious. I love the cute bottles the juices come in too… definitely using those again. The service was great and the dining area was so modern and clean. They have breakfast and lunch foods but I just got the two drinks. Very nice place for quick healthy food.

This terrific juice bar and café is in the ground floor of my gym, The Fitness Loft, at Livingston and Parsons.
The juice, smoothies, and other healthy food options are always fresh, diverse, and customizable. While somewhat pricey compared to juicing at home, the convenience and variety make for a great periodic treat after a long workout. As the wonderful smells float upstairs to the gym… how can you resist?
The staff is always friendly and helpful, too, except for the on-​site dietician. She is constantly distracted, rarely smiles, or is ever welcoming to me after a good year and a half. It is disappointing and curious to me given the service nature of ANY business –and otherwise positive vibe of the whole place.
My only other suggestion would be that the dining area is usually dirty and not regularly attended to given their frequently brisk business. Other than that, this joint is a welcome addition to a rapidly changing neighborhood!

Finally made it here and it was well worth it! Got the coconut coffee which is tasty if you don’t mind the occasional chewing from the coffee grind. Also was able to pick up a Mean Green press for later. The staff was patient and friendly!! Now that I know it’s right by The Crest and near the intersection of Parsons and Livingston I’ll be coming by a little more.

This is located in the same building as a workout facility. My boyfriend and I stopped by on the way to Cleveland. The menu ranges from sandwiches to toasts to smoothies to juices. I got the Dragonfruit Lemonade which has dragonfruit, lemon, filtered water, Ohio maple syrup, chia seeds for only $ 5!

Love this place! I’d go here more frequently if we lived closer. We got dragonfruit lemonade, green smoothie, avocado toast, Mediterranean toast, and an acai bowl between the two of us. It was lots of food and we loved it all! I’m a big avo-​toast fan, but the Mediterranean toast was even better! I highly recommend it. Acai bowls all looked amazing.
We went on a Sunday for brunch and it was busy but we were able to find a table and didn’t wait too long in line. I definitely recommend this place!

After living in California for a little under two years, I was really missing clean eating and was so happy I found this juice bar + café just 10 minutes from OSU’s campus. The juice bottles are small, but the juice I had (dragonberry lemonade) was simple and delicious. I hope to try one of the green juices next time. What I liked most about this café was that it isn’t 100% vegan – you can still get meat here! My roommate and I ordered the caprese and tuna sandwiches and shared with each other. They were pretty big sandwiches and priced pretty fairly for the variety of fresh, organic ingredients and amount of protein (in the tuna’s case) in them. I just wish the juices were a little bigger because it seems like a waste of a glass bottle for the little amount of juice that goes in. Maybe start a discount/​recycling program for returned bottles?

food as medicine, food as art. this is how it’s done.
space is pristine and the eats are clean. shares an entrance with a gym. open the door to a healthy experience!
portion sizes are perfect.
prices are premium. i look forward to the day when it doesn’t cost more to eat healthy. happy to invest in this place, and in myself, in the meantime.
plenty of seating – bar stools, four and two tops, a sofa, a community table. be comfortable.
gluten free bread is moist. tuna kraut sandwich came toasted with a small, tasty spinach salad.
mango lassi can be made dairy free. beautiful turmeric tint. like a cup of sunshine.
perfect spot for breakfast or lunch or any time you need a little pick me up. if i lived in the hood, I’d come here all the time.

Got two smoothies here last week.
I think it’s obvious the quality of ingredients are very high – and that is reflected in the cost. I ended up spending $ 16 for two smoothies, which were likely both about 16 fl oz.
I think they are near the top of the smoothie field in regards to price. Which is totally fine if you’re into quality. Which I am.
The associate who took my order was very knowledgeable about the menu and really helped me to identify what I would like on the menu. Also she made me feel at ease with my uncertainty about a couple of the protein add– ins, read: spirulina, an algae protein supplement.
The space is very futurist, minimalistic and cool. I think the smoothie consistency was just a touch too thick. I would attribute that to the business being new and fine-​tuning the kinks out.
Overall a good experience and i look forward to future patronage. Recommend.

In my opinion, this place is not as good as the reviews say. I came here with a friend and we ordered a mango lassi, nutty dragon, blueberry almond butter, and a cashew mylk.
The good: The nutty dragon was great! Surprisingly the combination of dragon fruit and peanut butter is delicious. The peanut butter taste is really mild so it isnt overpowering. The crunchy toppings are great at offsetting the liquid underneath. I just wish there was just a little bit more of the toppings compared to the liquid.
The bad: Almost everything else we ordered. The mango lassi tasted just like a just a mango smoothie. For $ 7, it was nothing spectacular. The blueberry almond butter was kind of gross. The flavor profile was all over the place. The first bite was okay, but a quarter of the way through, it was just unappetizing. The cashew mylk just tasted like the milk leftover after you eat cinnamon toast crunch but just a little thicker. It was okay, but not something I would get again.
Because the nutty dragon was so good, I will give this place another chance.

My boyfriend works out at the Fitness Loft and I recently joined him for a visit and was happy to take a moment to also try a smoothie at Alchemy. I had the Morning Glory which is a mix of strawberries, bananas and orange juice. It was super tasty! I am not a calorie counter but my boyfriend was raving about how it had a super low amount of calories so there’s that.
The space is very clean and bright. The employees are all very friendly and helpful. They also sell some food products but the Morning Glory was enough to fulfill my snack needs. They also have prepared juices that you can get for detox purposes or as a healthy snack on the run. It is very convenient for anyone who works out at Fitness Loft. There is also PLENTY of parking in the large parking lot behind The Fitness Loft which is super nice. I’m excited to have this so close to my home and can’t wait to try another flavor!

I’m a pretty heavy eater, so I was pretty surprised that one bowl and a juice really fills me up. My «go to» order is a Nutty Dragon bowl and Cacao Cashew Mylk.
Alchemy consistently has good service, even when the line is halfway to the back door (which is most Saturdays)! They have the best selections and prices of all the juice bars in Columbus. Please open a second location!

Alchemy is easily missed if you’re coming from Livingston, it’s hidden right behind Crest. There’s a vast open parking lot right behind so parking isn’t a problem. The employees are great, it was my first time so they gave some great tips on what to try.
I ordered the cherry cheezecake bowl and the Mediterranean toast. The bowl was amazing and filling. The cranberry no bake bites were a great topping. By the end of the meal, I was full for a reasonable price. Great breakfast to start off a busy day and I will def be back.

These guys have it going on, on every front, I think the cbus needs more Alchemy! Quote:

Still working my way through the menu, so you just do what sounds good to you. Here’s me:
Smoothies — It’s been the Green Monster or Blueberry Cacao. Green smoothies done right are life’s elixir and blueberries are straight antioxidant. Try a few and get a routine going of enjoying them or maybe just treat yourself; I hear the Peanut Butter Power is on point.
Toast — pesto avocado, it’s spot on, nothing else like it. Staff will set you up, they’ve always been great with us so I hope you see the same.
Juices — Easy Beet, cus beets, but if it were early AM i’d do an Orange Grapefruit Basil.
Grapefruit helps metabolize caffeine. Ever try Matcha? One can’t go wrong with these juices.
Bowls — Creative, desserty, nutrition facts online; Rio is Acai superfood done way different.
Soups and Salads — With at least 10 salads and house soup on rotation, it’s possible to roll by everyday and put something good down into that belly. I like Sweet Potato lentil and Curried Brussel Sprout; the Quinoa combos stand out too.
Sandwiches — They all smell great, i’ll try one next time I’m in!

If you need something quick and delicious and don’t want to feel like a bloated pile of garbage after you eat it, you have to go to Alchemy. This café is the answer to food done fast that is nutritious and tasty. There is an array of ready made salads to pick from ranging from curried chickpea to kale/​quinoa concoctions. There are also made to order options in the form of sandwiches, acai bowls, smoothies and dressed up toasts.
Beverage wise the juices really shine. My favorites are the grapefruit and basil and orange zing (spicy). Also notable: the coffee. The beans from the local roasters are awesome and you can top it with cream, house made almond milk or soy milk.
My faves: turkey sandwich, tuna kraut sandwich, blackbean burger, blueberry almond butter acai bowl, and avocado toast.
