Fields of Alchemy is located caddy-corner to Powell's Books, at the geographic and cultural heart of Portland. The North Pacific Building has graced the corner of SW Oak and 10th since 1922. Generous windows with wavy historic glass, original hardwood floors, the graceful proportions of Italian Renaissance architecture — restored in 2017 with the kind of care that considered everything, down to the building's own footprint on the earth. It's quieter inside, and the light moves through it in a particular way. The building includes secured entry, an elevator, locked bike storage, a shared kitchenette, and ADA-compliant single-stall, non-gendered bathrooms. We really love it here.

Getting here is easy. Street parking is metered and generally available. Free validated parking is a short 2.5 blocks away, and long-term lots — hourly, daily, or monthly — are plentiful in every direction. The neighborhood rewards arriving a little early: Courier Coffee is steps away, its sister spot Soen serves beautiful Japanese bites, and Maurice — a true Portland gem — is right there for a proper brunch or lunch.
