Alchemist Coffee Company | Ajmer — Restaurant in Ajmer

I've been here more than 10 times now and I think this is a good time to write a review for them.

Ambiance : The ambiance is nice and simple, pretty much basic nothing fancy, good Choice of furniture and the step up seating space is a nice addition.

Menu Choice and Price : The menu has decent amount of variety but most of the time you will find some items are unavailable or partially available. In my experience the garlic loaf is mostly unavailable and a couple of burger options too are unavailable. Price I won't say it's affordable no not at all! The menu is priced on a higher side. Cafe Mocha is priced around Rs.170 and Barista which is a well established brand charges the same so you do the math. During my recent visit I got to know that they are not getting supplies for water bottles hence stopped serving them on the table and you have to use a common water dispenser to have a glass of drinking water. But they do give you the same bottle if you pay for it. We will only get to know this in near future whether there was really a short supply or this was an excuse to cut down cost.

Food : The quality of food is undoubtedly the best in town. Though I really did not like a few of the items on the menu. The best which I have tried are Stuffed Omlette, Veg sandwich, paneer sandwich, Paneer Burger (it's very crisp) and Mix sauce pasta and Cheesy fries were okay (can be improved). What I didn't like was Shakshuka, felt like an India tomatoe gravy with lots of garam masala in it. It should be mellowed down to balance the sour flavour of tomatoes and better to go with eggs. Pizza was another let down as the quality of the base was not so good, it was stiff and dry, neither thin crust nor fluffy like bread. I personally did not like the bibimbap bowl there was no sauce added to it as such. Just tasted like combination of salted blanched sauted vegetables with boiled noodles. I will only recommend to try the toasties if they have the garlic loaf available.

Service : this is the point which I felt is the most negative one. Anything which you order, will be served in approximately 30 minutes. yes! 30 minutes which is really slow so if you order something and want to order again it will take another 30 minutes. I've seen people walking out due to this and I've walked out myself a couple of times. The problem is if the orders are not processed fast enough people will end up sitting with their plates empty. Even takeaway takes...

The cafe should be named Unsuccessful Alchemist—everything they touched turned to disappointment.

The service of this cafe is the worst I have ever experienced. They forget to bring your order I asked the female staff to bring the coffee at 12.30 . At 12.40 I had to remind the staff that I placed an order . I was almost about to cancel the order as the service was really very slow and I was getting late for my exam. They were taking 30-40 mins to bring an order . They have a scan and order system The ordering system is also bad as you don't get to know whether the order is placed or not . And it's irritating because if you wanna re order you have to add you details again and again.

The food of this cafe is ordinary . I ordered irish coffee and bruschetta at the cafe . The coffee didn't taste like irish coffee ,it tasted like a normal frappe. The bruschetta was very spicy . So the food was not up to my expectations.

The price of the dishes are exorbitant and are not worth the money as you don't enjoy the service or food .

Not at...

Horrifying experience. We went over to try this new restaurant, and had a horrid experience. The service was abysmal. We had to tell atleast 5 times for water. Then when I went over to order the girl made me wait for 5 minutes and after that started telling me to hurry up or to order online when I was figuring what to order. I haven't been to a cafe with this pathetic attitude. If you don't have enough people to service or enough time to take your customers order, why open a customer facing cafe. I have been to many cafes in jaipur, delhi and Bengaluru, never had this unprofessional behaviour. After this experience, I was embarrassed in front of the guests I brought in and had to leave without ordering. Would not recommend anyone to go through such experience. After this, I contacted my other friends as well, they faced similar experience with this cafe. The service and the order taking girl is damn rude.

There are other cafes as well in ajmer which I have tried and found them to be ok. Nobody deserves such...
