We were a party of 5 and was seated promptly. We got there around 11ish. We had the chicken and waffles, carbonara pasta, french toast and the duck benny.Chicken and waffles was one of my favorite dishes. Only thing I would change is like have a boneless chicken. Eating a drunkstick was enh. But the seasoning was good and the sauces were good too.French toast was my.least fav because it had like a lot of crust and the syrup was different. Kind of a punch but I think I would've prefered the regular syrup instead.Carbonara was good.Duck benny was also good. I did like the salad that came with the dishes.

It's a really busy resto in the vogell plaza off 16th and leslie. The parking lot is usually packed and the waitlist tends to be full always.I managed to secure a minimal wait time on the yelp waitlist for my gf and I on a sunday afternoon.The decor is brightly lit and modern. It has slightly more tables than the original markham counterpart but just as popular.Duck benny: The duck was tender and juicy. I agree w/ my fellow yelp elite Aaron A. The potatoes were seasoned to perfection, crispy on the outside but soft and melt in your mouth on the inside. My gf and I also appreciated the fact that they didn't overcrowd half the plate w/ salad. The salad itself also had a vinaigrette that made it taste quite nice (which is a rarity for brunch salads).Chicken and waffles: I think the chicken and waffles here are the new standard by which all brunch places should be measured. The chicken has the CRUNCHIEST/CRISPIEST batter. It's seasoned out the wazoo and the chicken was not only JUICY but huge! The drumsticks came from hulk chickens I swear to God. The waffles were mega crispy on the outside and basically a cloud on the inside (felt like air on the inside). The sweet chili sauce had a nice kick but was well-balanced. I would definitely consider this dish a must-order for a first time visitor.For a brunch experience, I think this spot definitely rivals NextDoor on Main St Unionville for top tier honours.I'll be back in the future for sure!

Alchemy never disappoints with their quality of food and exceptional customer service.I’ve been back a few times to try different items on the menu. Needless to say, the taste is always spot on. Food is served very quickly upon ordering, and the portion is quite generous.My recommended dishes are their Salmon Benny, Duck waffle, and French toast.Their eggs Benedict are always cooked to perfection, and the salmon one is an all-time classic, paired with a small salad and house potatoes. The Duck Waffle presents a nice contrast between the crispy waffle and the super soft duck meat. The French toast puts together challah bread, crispy bacon, sous-vide apple, and lime syrup, and is a wonderful option for a sweet and savoury dish.For their drinks menu, their mocha has become my all-time favourite. I typically take mine with soy milk and for the few times I’ve ordered it, the taste is always consistent.The atmosphere is warm and cozy, and the seating is very comfortable. The store can get busy at times, particularly during lunch hours and on weekends, but the staff are welcoming and make a great effort to tend to everyone’s needs.Thoroughly enjoyed my multiple visits and will surely be back again soon.
Came here for brunch and surprisingly good. End up staying for the entire afternoon. Highly recommend the egg benedict.

My recent favourite brunch place in Richmond Hill is here. The food and drinks are always good, and the food portion is really generous. I have been here several times, and my favourite food is duck benny, which I believe is a rare find in all brunch places. It tastes really good, and I love their potato sides a lot.They offer a wide range of drink options including hojicha latte, and they do a pretty good job with latte art too.The staff are nice and friendly here. Highly recommended :)
It’s kinda Asian fusion brunch. The presentation is pretty. Come here on a public holiday morning. Full of people. The portion is quite big. Coffees are mediocre.

I am always looking unique coffee shops to enjoy and get some food while at it. Today, I happen to drive towards my brokerage and noticed Alchemy was just down the street. I'm so glad I came in and had a delicious Matcha Latte & The Salmon Benny! The food was really good, hot and tasty. I have quite the taste palette and I was impressed. Thanks Victor for your hospitality and I will definitely be back and will be sharing with my friends, family and colleagues to come and try it! GOD BLESS YOU.

First time coming here with a friend for brunch on a weekday. Not hard to find a parking.A big warm welcome from a staff. Atmosphere is very cozy and warm. Seating is very comfortable with warm lighting.Staff is very nice to provide some good suggestion on food since it’s our first time here. We ordered steak and egg and chicken waffle.Steak is tender and flavourful. Lovveeeee the scramble eggs. It’s so creamy also with a touch of bell pepper on top.Chicken waffle is one of the popular dishes. Chicken is very crispy but meat is very tender and flavourful. They add a bit of spice but it’s not spicy at all. Waffle is also crispy. It is not soggy after a while. Highly recommend to kids or people who like crispy chicken.For the coffee, we ordered cortado and americano which were suggested by the staff as per our preferences. Cortado is an espresso drink. Coffee is on the fruity side and creamy which I like it very much.Overall very good experience and will come back again.Kid-friendliness: Nice staff, spacious, comfortable seating
