Curioser and curioser! Step through the enchanted doors of El Alquimista, Antigua’s fantasy café and potions bar, and find yourself in a tea party straight out of a storybook — where time forgets itself, flavors defy reason, and the unexpected is always on the menu.
Surrounded by curious contraptions, and shelves stacked with potions, you’ll delight in a whimsical spread of sweet and savory bites, crafted to charm both magical minds and mortal tastebuds. Sip from a steaming teapot of enchanted herbal infusion, brewed with Guatemalan herbs and spices—each blend more curious than the last, and chosen to stir dreams, awaken laughter, or calm the Queen of Hearts herself!
So put on your finest hat (mad or not), bring your most peculiar friends, and prepare to sip, nibble, and giggle your way through an afternoon of wonder!

it was a nice tea and pastries tasting. I would definitely visit again. Would recommend they have some sort of theme music in the background.

It is a magical place with excellent atmosphere, food and drink, if you go to Antigua Guatemala you have to visit it, it is themed and you see that they were dedicated in the decoration

It was a nice experience. I love going alone to meet new people, mainly foreigners, I always order my favorite drink Dragon Tears. They just placed on their terrace a set of mushrooms as a table that is great for Instagrammable photos.

Absolutely enchanting! El Alquimista was like stepping into a magical apothecary—every detail was thoughtfully crafted, from the whimsical décor to the bubbling potions served as tea. It felt like a secret world tucked away from reality. A truly unique and unforgettable afternoon tea experience—I left feeling like I’d just sipped spells in a fairy tale.
