The Best Vegan Gifts for 2024: Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Presents for Every Vegan
December 12, 2024
‘Tis the season, amiright? While it’s a mild 50 degrees here in NYC today, and gloomy, I know somewhere in the city
Opened in January 2017, husband-wife duo Brendan and Lynn Hancock, and co-owner Cody Alexander, have created quite the oasis off of 215 and Flamingo. If you’re looking for a coffee shop/juice bar/healthy vegan dining in a breathtaking and chill setting, House of Alchemy is just what the doctor ordered.
Built literally by hand (Brendan, who hails from Australia, has a background in construction and design), House of Alchemy is just what this part of the Valley needs. And, we couldn’t be happier. Seriously. Since it soft-opened, we have spent more time there eating all the food, drinking the juices and nut milks and coffees, and working with some gorgeous sunshine streaming in courtesy of the floor-to-ceiling windows than we have anywhere else.
Let’s break down what you need to order. If you’re looking for coffee, House of Alchemy has the basics and a few more, and dairy-free milk options. But, what we really love are all the options which are geared to improving our health. They’ve got a massive menu of juices (Brendan is a bit of an expert in that realm and even offers custom cleanses) and smoothies, plus four vegan nut milks to choose from. Personal favorite: Under the Sea, a gorgeous blend of water, coconut water, cashews, almonds, dates, vanilla bean, spirulina and Himalayn salt.
While their menu is still a work in progress, House of Alchemy has acai bowls and a rotating menu of goodness for breakfast, lunch and early dinners. Think salads, quinoa, overnight oats and more.
But, perhaps the best thing is this sunny spot makes eating desserts healthy. Er. All of their sweets are raw, organic (the entire menu is!) and free of refined sugar. Our hands-down must-eat-immediately-or-you-will-regret-it pick is the strawberry cheesecake made with coconut meat and topped with a hard shell of dark chocolate.
They even have customized juice cleanses. We did a two-week cleanse and loved it.
Those in-the-know have been flocking here since January, and now we’re sharing this little secret with the rest of the world.

This place is totally changed. As a matter of fact, the blonde lady was pretty rude and told us we had the wrong business. The Australian guy is gone. Zero vegan desserts. At the time there were only 2 vegan milks, although 3 were listed on menu. She told us, the coconut milk listed is rarely in stock because it goes bad quickly and no one buys it. But it was pulling teeth just to get that info. Did not feel like she was very vegan friendly. Not the same place anymore. Such a shame. Maybe they’ll change? Maybe we caught them in a transition? Who knows. Call before hand. They still did acai bowls, juices, and coffee. They just couldn’t deliver on the desserts.
Hi Barbara, thank you for letting me know. I have reached out to them and have not yet received a response. As soon as i get a chance to go in, I will. I appreciate the heads up.
