Coffee Alchemy
Coffee Alchemy is a specialty coffee roaster in Marrickville, Sydney. Universal Favourite designed its online shop: a home page that slides sideways past every blend, each with its own label artwork, and product pages where the label fills the screen. We built the shop by hand in 2015 as a custom Laravel application. The site is no longer ours.

The brief
A shop that feels like the roastery’s counter: every blend on show with its own label, and buying a bag in a few taps.
Universal Favourite designed it and we built it between August and November 2015.
What we built
A home page that slides sideways
One long horizontal strip with the blends and their label art, a “Visit us” circle and a film about the roastery.
Shop
Coffee and accessories as simple text lists.
Product pages
The label artwork fills the screen, with pickers for size, grind and quantity.
Cart and checkout
A cart that slides in from the side, and a checkout with Stripe payments, freight rates and order emails.
Customer accounts and admin
Accounts for returning customers, and the shop’s own admin for the roastery.
