AK ALCHEMIST — A FUN ALASKA-STYLE COFFEE & DRINK SPOT
AK ALCHEMIST – ANCHORAGE
AK Alchemist is not just a normal café. It’s a special hangout spot in Anchorage that looks like a mix of old-fashion machines and Alaskan wilderness.
The shop is inside a real shipping container that got turned into a café. That’s why it looks so cool and different.
AK Alchemist started in 2014 as a tiny food place run by Adam and Elise Blomfield. People loved it so much that it became one of Anchorage’s favorite places. Their idea was simple: good coffee, tasty food, and a fun place where anyone can relax and enjoy Alaska’s vibe.

AK ALCHEMIST COFFEE
AK Alchemist Coffee is a locally owned Anchorage coffee and food spot created by Adam and Elise Blomfield. Their journey began with a bold idea: take a 40-foot shipping container and transform it into a warm, welcoming space where Alaskans can enjoy great coffee, comfort food, and community.
Over the years, AK Alchemist Coffee has become a favorite local hangout—serving everything from breakfast burritos and tacos to lattes, smoothies, burgers, and beer on draft. The owners put their heart into creating a place where people can connect, study, work, relax, and enjoy real Alaskan hospitality.
ABOUT THE OWNERS

He personally purchased the land AK Alchemist sits on and helped convert a shipping container into the café customers know today. His vision has always been to create a space that feels rooted in Alaska—bold, rugged, and community-centered.
Elise Blomfield
Elise brings the warmth, creativity, and customer-focused touch that AK Alchemist is known for. Her love for great food and inviting atmospheres helped shape the menu and design. She focuses on making every guest feel welcome and creating a place where people want to return again and again.

VISION & MISSION
Vision:
To be more than a café — to be an Alaskan landmark where industrial design meets cozy hospitality, and where every person who walks in feels a part of the community.
Mission:
- Serve high-quality, locally inspired food and drinks — from morning coffee to evening cocktails.
- Create a creative and welcoming space — using the unique charm of a shipping container to build somewhere that feels both bold and warm.
- Be a community hub — for students, professionals, families, and creatives — a place to hang out, meet, and connect.
- Support local culture — by incorporating Alaskan flavors, local ingredients, and a spirit of “doing it ourselves.”
WHY AK ALCHEMIST COFFEE FEELS UNIQUE
- One-of-a-kind design: The shipping container structure gives the café an industrial, steampunk-style aesthetic that’s rare, bold, and visually memorable.
- Alaskan soul: The Blomfields’ love for Alaska is woven into everything — from their ingredient choices to the way they run the business.
- Versatile menu: Whether you want a simple espresso, a hearty breakfast burrito, or a late-night beer, AK Alchemist delivers it with care.
- Friendly, local feel: This isn’t a big chain. It’s a business run by locals who care about people.
- Sustainability spirit: Reusing a container and building consciously shows a commitment to sustainability and creativity.
