Curator’s note
Marcelo Kim, who frames coffee through his background as a drummer, came up from part-time barista to Director of Coffee at Alchemist, and the New Orleans cold brew is a holdover from when the Vermont flagship was Bourbon Street Cafe, with live jazz. The Cumulus room in Culver City is the third, after Vermont and the Pearl, and was new in January 2025.
The Coffee
Southern Weather is the house cup, with a single origin cold brew next to the espresso. The signature board runs an Einspänner, a Tiramisu Latte and a Crème Brûlée Latte, and the tea side pours a pot of chamomile, earl grey or jasmine peach peony.

The Vibe
Alchemist's Cumulus room looks onto the district's plaza through floor-to-ceiling glass, out to a concrete bench, grey herringbone pavers and the glass-fronted block across the way. Inside, a bench of pale wood runs along the glass beside cream tables, and the brand's caps and black boxes sit on wood shelves.
