Price point is reasonable for brunch in the area. However, the food itself is not bad but is not great. Potatoes lack a bit of flavoring and crunch. The sourdough bread is tasteful, the flatiron steak and eggs was cooked to raw by default as the server did not ask how I would like it cooked.

good portions, salmon is delicious, recommend it! wait in line for a long time, that’s why i give 4 stars

TLDR: service sucks, but food is good. From getting into the door to leaving after eating, total time of 2.5 hrs You need to be added to the waitlist using the Yelp app. It doesn’t say so anywhere, so you’ll need to do that, or be prepared to wait 15 min before the one person comes to seat someone. They also don’t ask if your name is already on the list, so you could be standing by the door without end. Many people who come in are confused because they waited for 20+ min to be added to the list, just to be told to return in 20-30 min after they get a text. Once you get the text and you return, you stand inside the doors. They’ll still walk by you twice without acknowledging you because they don’t have a tablet in hand. You’ll need to get their attention because they’re not looking for the group that was contacted. When you do get seated, the QR code on the table is a hint that they don’t give out menus, but they don’t say so either. When you’re done looking at the menu, the guy who passes by your table 3-4 times won’t ask you if you’re ready to order. You’ll need to flag him down as he just looks dead straight. Fried chicken ran out by 12:30pm. Once you do get an order in, drinks will get to you 15 min later. Food won’t arrive together to the table. Now that we have the food, the carbonara is looks great for the eyes, but mediocre for taste. It comes off like using dried pasta. The duck and waffles had good individual conponents, but it didn’t come together that well. After food is done, the waiters were wiping down the tables. If there were any food on the table, it gets wiped to the floor.

A great place to get an elevated brunch with your friends or family. The food here was amazing, the staff members were friendly, and the ambiance is cozy but light. We ordered the carbonara pasta, steak & eggs, and the duck waffle. I highly recommend the duck waffle for its flavour and uniqueness as a brunch dish. The staff were friendly and quick to serve our meals. I will definitely come back here if I’m in the area.

Each dish was exquisitely delicious, the latte art was visually stunning👍🏻

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 :)
