Grew up with the Atomic Cafe. Really glad it's still around and still making amazing coffee!
Good coffee, not always fast service. I'd avoid ordering food and stick to drinks.
Best cappuccino in the galaxy, Atomic is the upside of small local chain roasting their own coffee. Art student staff add to bohemian ambiance, as do eclectic local regulars. Try to go at least 5 days a week.
Short but good beer list and tasty sandwiches. Good place to hang out and read.
What a funky and great cafe. I was able ro order quickly and get my food right away. It is mostly American fair, so the usual comforts. Lots of age ranges there and lots of seating. Bathrooms are wonderfully gender neutral. I'll definitely be going back. I am cane dependent and face a hard time walking. I was so pleasantly surprised that the friendly staff accommodated me and brought my food over to me. Not having to walk more than I did made wanted to go back as someone who has a hard time walking makes the decision to have this as a new regular spot easy.
Service was grumpy and obviously didn't want to be working here. My chai was presented good but not my boyfriends. Food taste is good. Just a sucky vibe to start my vacation!
It's the best place to get a cup of coffee and hang out.
I love this place. The coffee is fantastic, the food is great, and the employees are friendly. Really cool space, too. Highly recommend.
Excellent coffee! Pastries are good too. Ask for the cinnamon coffee cake. Excellent and quick service.
Love this local hot spot. Great coffee and chai drinks as well as breakfast sandwiches. Always super friendly!
Good coffe, food and gathering space. But, really starting to show wear and tear. NOT a place to get a quick coffee. Plan to be awhile to get your food and drink. Vibrant conversations (loud ).
Great atmosphere and a respectable cup of coffee in an ideal downtown Beverly location
Busy because it's a gathering place with friendly staff. Now attached to a bookstore.
Troegg's Mad Elf on tap, WiFi oh yes COFFEE and tea.
I have a hard time believing that one Americano coffee (which they cleverly call a "USA") should take 12 minutes to make. Yes I timed it. Otherwise it was fine.
Great local cafe that roasts their own beans nearby, has delicious food, and good seating options!
I really like the atmosphere, and the employees are usually pleasant. The coffee is also quite good. Food quality can be inconsistent, and orders incorrect. This is the third time that I've ordered a salad that is missing ingredients (ie, cobb salad that is missing the avocado).
This was by far one of the worst expirences I have ever had. We traveled all the way from Ohio for a wedding. The wedding we went to was right across the street, so naturally after the ceremony a group of us head to atomic cafe to get a drink maybe a snack to hang out before we head to the reception. Two people from our group got their food and beers and sat at the bar. While my husband and I went to get our drinks and food, the girl at the register asked for a second form of ID because we were from out of state. Absolutely fine! We hand her our debit cards, social security cards, anything else in our wallet.... Nothing was good enough. So half of our party got served half didn't... Now we are in a fun situation aren't we? The girl at the register was rude and seemed irritated that we didn't quite understand the policy since half our group got served with no problem and now here I am, just shy of 30 years old trying to fight for my right to a small glass of wine. While our poor friends try and chug their beers so that we can leave the place... I ask to speak to the manager... The one nice kid in the joint says ya that's fine he will find someone for me... The manager is even more irritated "well what do THEY want " well "they" were sitting right and front of him so we just asked to make sure the girl was correct about the policy and then simply asked how could that be the policy of the other half of party didn't even get carded. He said he could probably get us a drink ... Well ya kid look I'm a manager I actually train all new managers for retail stores and let me tell u how this situation should have been handled so that your bosses don't have to. The cashier should have expressed her concern that half of the party was served and now her customers can't be.. The manager should have came over and apologized for the inconvenience and said that is indeed the policy and someone did their job wrong that's why our friends got served and showed empathy. Or accommodated us based on the fact we had every other card in our wallet including picture Ids and apologized for the hassle. Either way, it was handled wrong and if the owners don't want traveling people in their location and the managers don't want to be accommodating do yourselves a favor and put a locals only sign up on your door.
$5 dollars for an small sized iced coffee, what a rip off. Bye
Great local place to go if you re looking for something other than Starbucks or Dunkin . Great coffee and good food selection. Only got a simple salad but the homemade lemon vinaigrette was delicious.
Friendly and helpful staff. Not a coffee drinker, but the selection of teas is good. Ask to share a table and the seat is yours.
Nice little spot, seems to be very popular with locals; I saw everyone from parents with kids and toddlers to college students. Lots of people meeting to hang out or just solo studying or working. I came here to do some remote work while in town, and had no problems connecting to Wi-Fi or losing the connection. You can sit at a window seat (which are stools, so prepare your back muscles!) and the businesses across the street are very charming, so it's a nice picture. I liked the atmosphere enough to bring my husband back in the evening for beers and a couple more hours of work, and we both enjoyed the 2000s punk rock they played (at least on the day I was there). I also like that they have a water dispenser in the corner for patrons to get water from. I just got a plain latte and, later, a local beer. The beer was good, I didn't care much for the coffee. I don't consider myself a coffee connoisseur by any means, so take that with a grain of salt. I just found it a bit sour, but then again, maybe that's how people like their coffee here, as another local spot I tried had the same problem, to my taste buds. I think I probably would have liked it better had I tried one of the tasty-sounding house syrups. On a positive note, I thought the portion was very generous for a medium, and a good value, especially for a house-made coffee.
Good coffee, great breakfast food, chill atmosphere! Love the wood look. Music is just right so you don't scream over other people. Like it!
Coffee and bagels were delicious. Atmosphere was great. Parking is rough, but not Atomic s fault of course. My only complaint is how expensive their coffee refills are when you only get a small mug in the first place! I d rather pay more up front and get free refills
Get here early if this is your office for the day. Gets very crowded because it the best place in town for coffee. Food is good too.
Delicious latte with house made syrup with exquisite latte art. You can t ask for anything more from a wonderful establishment. I suggest one of their housemade syrups. The vanilla latte was so worth it. Thank you very much for a wonderful cafe experience. I was in need of exactly that.
Love their takeaway options and cans of Nitro and Regular Cold Brew. Delicious coffee and awesome staff.
Diesel coffee is the best. WAY better runnin' on this than on dunkin. They need to up their game on service for 5 stars, though. Too many errors and slow pace at times. That said, this is a local gem and the new expanded location is fantastic.
Great price and quality! Delicious! Friendly workers couldn t ask for anything better!
The only place to get coffee and hangout in Beverly.
Very good coffee and my breakfast sandwich was perfectly toasted.
A huge supporter of local artists, the atomic cafe has long-time supported by Bevtown natives and now has expanded to Marblehead. The mocha chai is phenomenal. They have foam drawings on top of any of their hot drinks and the servings are in the realm of comfort foods. Very lovely.
A great coffee house experience, and with great coffee!
Very nice environment! Warm decoration! Great coffee!
Don't expect to get your coffee at the pace of McDonald's but there is a reason for that. This coffee is the best in town. Smooth and strong and the staff has never messed up my order. The sandwiches are also excellent with fresh ingredients. I recommend the mocha chai charger, complete with a heart in the foam on top and a piece of decadent chocolate to enjoy with your java.
This is the place to go for a solid cup of coffee and a delicious sandwich, always room to get some work done in a bustling but not overly loud place. Nice coffee accessories for sale here as well.
Good food, but our latte tasted like chicken soup to three different people.
Stopped by with my wife for an impromptu rendezvous. Got the turkey panini add bacon and a large iced coffee. Fast service and the sandwich was the bomb! Pun intended. Try it out.
Excellent coffee and espresso drinks. Good food. Lots of spacious seating in a good atmosphere. Service can sometimes be a little slow but nothing crazy.
Overall, good selections of coffees, sandwiches, and treats. It can get pretty busy and pretty loud and the wifi doesn't always work.
I come here often for breakfast. They have a great selection of breakfast sandwiches and pastries, and an outstanding breakfast bowl. The coffee is good and the staff is friendly and efficient.
Great place for coffee. The cold brew nitro on tap is excellent, and the atmosphere is decent for working on a laptop.
Good coffee and hipsters. The muffins aren't bad either.
The chai, espresso, coffee, grilled cheese! Everything!
Good memories at this place! Friendly staff, quick lines and good espresso.
Location is good coffee is strong place can. E lively and loud. Love some of their sandwiches
Great coffee, great food, great atmosphere and good book store.
We Love Atomic Cafe. Great Food. Best Coffee. Hip & Exciting Atmosphere. Professional Staff & Baristas!!
Perfect place to bring your laptop and grab a coffee and sandwich - but make sure to get a booth for maximum comfort. Can get a little crowded here on the usual weekend hours, but worth it to wait in line for the soy latte.
Nitro cold brew was great but the hummas plate was overpriced and not enough food.
Obsessed. Great place to study, coffee is amazing and the breakfast sandwiches are so yummy. Although can be busy and tough to find seats.
Went in to get a gift certificate and two cup of hot chocolate. Very long wait but delicious hot beverage. And the recipient of the gift loved it. Decent amount of tables and wifi so local consumers can spend time socializing or working.
Food is always good. Speed is fast. People are nice.
The location and the coffee are the best part of the Atomic. Really, some of the best lattes around the area. But 3 stars for being a very loud place (the acoustics can be deafening) and for ongoing mistakes on my orders. With that said the staff are particularly friendly and cheerful.
Always friendly service. I enjoy the Vanilla Latte Tea, yum. I've had the yogurt parfait with jam, very good. I also had a turkey sandwhich, so good. A little pricey but a nice treat. Great place to meet a friend and catch up. Lots of seating inside and I like the sidewalk seating in the warmer weather. Lap top friendly too, with outlets for charging.
Standing outside here at seven getting ignored by staff was fun, but then tipping almost two bucks on a five dollar latte and watching other customers get served first took the cake. Won't be coming here again.
I love this place ! There is a but ....... I always get the same sandwich and like many places they have shrunk over time . If I m going to pay 10.00 for a sandwich I should be full or even take some home . Last several times I ate here I finished and wanted more .
Superb coffee and a huge variety. Perfect lighting and mostly classy decor. Unfortunately I'll never be going again because I had the most awkward meet up of all time with a friend I hadn't seen or spoken to in nine years.
Great coffee/espresso and pastries! Nice vibe. They also have a great selection of craft beer.
This trendy coffee house has grown from a tiny location to become a local institution. Love the Chai latte!
Beer and food was good. Their closing etiquette leaves a lot to be desired.
Love this place! Great atmosphere, great food & coffee!
Love atomic cafe! I have been going here since their first location on Cabot, now that they have a much bigger space across the street I feel that they are able to truly deliver! The coffee is incredible and I also love their iced green tea. Their lunch options are delicious and the bacon egg and cheese in a wrap is a great option for breakfast. Breakfast is served until 11am, just so you know! They also have a nice selection of baked goods. Since they take pride in what they serve...Just a warning, do not go here if you are planning on being on time to work!
Consistently good coffee, both brewed there and for you to take home. The space itself is eclectic and inviting, and they serve beer and wine to boot. Can't really lose.
I would give this place 5 stars, but only gave 4 because the internet is shoddy, which stinks because I do my best work at cafes. Great NEW interior design/decor. Awesome coffee and food. Very nice and helpful staff. Be careful of the coffee on tap, as that is some super caffeinated stuff-pretty yummy nonetheless! Reasonable prices. My only gripe is the internet.
