Been a year and I go here often, so thought I would update this. I have a new favorite breakfast which is the cucumber/veggie sandwich and I get it on everything bagel with cheese added. So good. But let's talk about their coffee. Beverly has so many great coffee places and they are all good. Atomic is one of my top two places. Coffee is smooth, and consistently tastes the same which I admire. The wait staff is great. My pet peeve, is that they have all these signs that say that the booths are saved for 2 people or more, and there are often booths with just one person working. Yes, some are waiting for someone, but many are not. Just frustrating cause when it is busy and I want a booth for me and my friends, I want a booth. Ok I'm done. Best sit and gather coffee place in the city. And surrounding cities. read more

Atomic Cafe - decaf latte the best - Cafes Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

Walking in there's tons of space and plenty of menu items. We were attended by the lovely Melissa (hopefully I got it right), they were awesome and made us feel welcomed. Now we ordered banana bread ice latte and blueberry brûlée latter, taste is there but coffee did feel a bit light(watered down). Not trying to give a bad review since the notes of the coffee were there and seems like with every latte they make the espresso fresh. The warmth then accompanied by ice could be the reason. Next time I'm in I will be trying a hot coffee to confirm how good it is! read more

atomic cafe is a really great cafe! their food is delicious and i love the turkey panini. they never cut you short on portions and make each drink with love!! i love the staff there too, super friendly and relaxed, and the place inside is all wood and full of sunlight and large windows (which i prefer than bright lights). it gets super packed quickly and the only thing to complain about are their prices. 12$ for a sandwich is lowkey insane but at least you know you'll be getting a good sandwich lol read more

Atomic Cafe - Hot chocolate with Whipped Cream! - Cafes Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

Their coffee is dog shit and anyone that drinks it on a regular has terrible taste in coffee. The whole food menu is garbage and overpriced as well. Take your business somewhere that actually cares read more

Strange and unusual for a little café, but very interesting. The people live are very pleasant. They're willing to make you any kind of coffee you like they have great little pastries there. It's a good place to go read. I'll catch up on your computer. read more

I went to Atomic Cafe to buy a bag of atomic coffee. I think it is more expensive here, as I have seen it elsewhere for about $12 and here it was $15.50 :/ On the bright side, they ground it for me, ready for my espresso machine. Seems like a nice cafe to work in. The atomic coffee is really delicious! read more

I go to atomic cafe almost every day, each time I am amazed by the speed in which my coffee and bacon egg and cheese comes out of that kitchen. When Nicky greets me at the front counter... I know my day will be filled with delight. The staff here are very patient and awesome and are very kind to me and my family. Ill never stop coming to atomic cafe! :D read more

It's almost perfect, is the best way I can put it. And clearly way better than most coffee shops ! I had an iced coffee which had a great taste and really strong. A grilled cheese which was tasty as well. read more

Delicious breakfast sandwiches and lovely donuts!! There's a bit of a wait but you can tuck into your donut while you wait.

Disrespectful experience. I ordered a breakfast sandwich and coffee, gave my name, and watched my food sit on the counter while staff walked by. When it was finally handed to me, it was placed on a small coffee plate. I had to ask if regular plates were unavailable. Not acceptable. read more

tea was weak, no flavor mocha was requested to be decaf, yet was caffeinated not cool the guy that took the order was not at the register to remedy the problem, so others must have made this drink because the register guy was on break the second we finished ordering $30 for sandwich and 2 drinks plus a water hard chairs restroom was fine would rather go to a smaller place with a bit more ambiance this place is very industrial parking is by the meter read more

Atomic Cafe is one of the better cafés in the Boston area. I remember when they were a small shop across the street from their current, larger space, and I love that they've grown so much. Especially when you remember where they started. Their coffee and food are higher quality, their staff is always amazing, and their prices are a little on the higher side (similar to Starbucks but better quality). This is a great spot to grab a latte & lunch, and chat with friends or study for a couple hours. It's pretty busy every time I've come in, whether morning or afternoon, so grab a seat if you can. I am the biggest fan of lemon poppyseed anything, and it's so hard to find! Their lemon poppyseed cake was delicious, and I've had their Quirky Turkey and Turkey Panini sandwiches made cold, and I recommend them. I love their Dirty Hot Chocolate and Chai Lattes, including Iced Mocha Chai, but I recently tried their Earl Gray Tea Latte (my favorite) and it wasn't the best I've had. They've also recently opened a juice bar in the back left side of the café, Atomic Juicery. I haven't tried them yet, but I love that the community is providing healthier choices. Between Atomic Cafe and Soma, I feel like Beverly is the Twilight Zone more and more. Ambience: 5/5 Food & Drinks: 4.5/5 Cost: 3.5/5 Service: 5/5 Atomic Cafe: 4.5/5 read more

This is such a cute cafe! It's a bit pricey for the coffee/ teas for the size you get. The latte was very good as was the hibiscus refresher. The turkey and Brie panini was excellent just a bit sweet with the honey mustard. It's a little hard to hear when they call your name to pick up food/ drinks when the cafe is busy. read more

While the food is good, it certainly not worth the price. It cost over $10 for a BLT and you legit one piece of lettuce, three tomatoes and maybe four pieces of bacon on the whole sandwich (if you get it on white, they give you a thin slice of ciabatta bread. )And while I understand, companies need to make money this is not the way you keep your customers happy. It's really too bad because it's a good sandwich. Just not worth the money. read more

$6.42 for a cortado and they didn't even bother to give me a real cup. I've never paid more than $5 and a lot of places still charge $3.50. Also, as mentioned frequently in other reviews, the employees are rude. Not going back. read more

Super great chai! great breakfast! Lunch sandwiches and bowls are good too. The servers are always nice and helpful.

Food: 1/5 inedible stale bread, but cranberry chicken salad was okay. Sadly our other meal was also subpar Coffee: 1/5 atomic cafe has nice coffee beans, but the drip was over brewed and bitter. And could not salvage the beans. Service 1/5, forty-five min for a precooked meal. Several workers behind counter but only 1 doing food prep without help Ambiance: 2/5 plenty of seating space, but not good food quality for wait, or grab and go Price: $$ price is doable, but quality of food does not match cost. read more

I am in town to see a show at the cabin today. So we met him down there and we had some coffees and beverages and the service was fantastic. Melissa did a great job. She was the one that waited on us and took care of us so I wanted to do a big shout out for her and her great customer service. Scott and Cody had a blast. We enjoyed ourselves here. In fact we stayed later Scott had to return to work so Cody and I stayed here for dinner. If you are in Beverly, this is a good spot to stop, get some pastry or a sandwich or a soup. Just a get a cool beverage and relax read more

I wanted to try this place because it was an easy walk away from my stay at the Cabot Lodge. Im not sure what was better my latte or the atmosphere! The staff was very friendly and the service was quick. The barista even made a cute little design on my latte. The ratio to espresso and milk with foam was perfect. The taste was amazing. One of the best lattes I've had. If you're in the area I would recommend dropping in for a hot or cold beverage. read more

Atomic Cafe - Small Caramel Latte - Cafes Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

I've been to just about every coffee shop in Beverly and still find Atomic to be one of the best, fastest and cheapest options around. I typically get an iced caramel latte and glazed donut! Who doesn't love a little glaze in the morning! 5 out of 5 stars! read more

This place works best as a work/study space, but the coffee and food come off as overpriced and the service is spotty to mediocre.

I'm not usually one to write reviews, but i feel as though this needs to be said. everyone loves atomic and it is a community favorite. i think their food is very good, but the wait times are excrutiating for a sandwich. almost always 30+ minutes. additionally, the staff is consistently SUPER RUDE. never acknowledge me, always feel like i am intruding. it has gotten to a point where i needed to share and i feel others have had a similar experience . read more

I know this is a very popular spot, but for whatever reason, it isn't mine. It's nothing in particular, and truly can't put my finger on it, but I just don't love it. I prefer Kaffmandu, but I know many people are big fans‍ read more

We have had our eye on Atomic Cafe for months now, and finally made the trip to go check it out! Let me just say, I wish we went sooner. This is a new FAVORITE! They have quite possibly the best coffee in Massachusetts. If you're into that delicious roasty toasty flavor - Atomic will be your jam. We loved it so much that we bought a ton of coffee and cans to go! They offer handcrafted drinks and food, and plenty of options of beans to take home with you (they will even grind it on site for you if you ask!). Definitely be sure to grab one of the cold brew cans to go - they are really cool and different from anything I've tried. You will be hooked in no time, just like me! read more

I got a pb protein shake and first of all, it was 10 dollars which is not that expensive, but the shake doesn't really have that strong of a peanut flavor and it doesn't taste like it has peanut butter in it do the flavor is only from the protein powder, now it did not have an overwhelming taste of banana even though it had banana in it which is good. I don't dislike the shake but i am disappointed in the overall flavor of the shake. read more

Atomic Cafe - The pb protein shake - Cafes Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

Huge caveat: I was a frequent (as in daily) patron of the Atomic Cafe, 20 years ago, as a local college student. Back then, the draw to the Atomic was that it was a small local coffee shop, with limited seating, where students were welcome to come study. It was an "odd shop" of sorts. The entire theme was retro 50s - they had one small seating area furnished with mid century modern furniture set up as if it were a living room. Super cool and kitschy! Everyone knew each other, meaning the students and the baristas knew each other by name and dare I say...would even know the details of each other's lives lol. There was also a small bakery display case with a limited assortment of homemade pastries and baked goods that the staff clearly had made each morning, because the offerings would change daily and the case would be nearly empty halfway through the day. I'm a recent career changer and thought it might be nostalgic to visit my favorite study spot. What an enormous mistake on my part! I wasn't prepared for how drastically it had changed. Now, I'm not unreasonable; 20 years out, yes I'd expect this cafe to expand and kudos to small businesses expanding. But sadly the Atomic is now just a supercharged Starbucks. The interior looks like a Starbucks, the bakery...same... the clientele...its just sad. read more

It's a great atmosphere but the coffee was just okay and I ordered a tuna melt that was beyooooooond lack luster. I'd go again to try something else (plus solid study spot) because I'm sure they have better food, but for now it's average. read more

The house brew drip was very smooth. Reasonable pricing and quick service. A great place with modern vibes and plenty of natural light.

~5pm on a Friday, few other patrons in the seating area but no line. Pros: -Spacious, modern atmosphere -Nice staff Cons: -Need to get there early for fresh donuts and more selection -Street parking -- Glazed donut ($1.87) There was a lone glazed donut left at 5pm on a Friday among a few jelly filled. It was decently sized and only slightly sweet. Unfortunately it was a bit stale given how late in the day it was. read more

Got a caramel latte and a bacon egg and cheese on a sesame bagel. So good! Also got a bag of whole bean coffee because so many shops around Salem serve it and it's locally roasted. WILL be a go to spot since I still have to try their pastries. read more

I love this place. I come whenever I'm in Beverly. And they just made me an excellent dry cappuccino.

This was a pretty neat place! It's incredibly spacious on the inside and is strategically located in downtown Beverly. Apparently, you can even order online and pick up your order. They ran out of the chai, which was unfortunate because I really wanted to try their mocha chai. I ordered a hot chocolate Joppa Flat to go and it came to slightly over $10. They had really friendly service. The hot chocolate was pretty good- not too sweet- and the Joppa Flat was decent. This would definitely be a good place to grab a brunch and dine in- the ambiance is perfect for both studying and for going out with friends. read more

What a fresh approach to a cafe and bar combination. Spacious rustic cafe with industrial interior designs that's more on the subtle side giving a more cozier vibe. Rotating taps, fresh brewed coffee/tea, and a food menu that's not overwhelming with items that seems like they would complement whichever glass or mug you go with. My kind of place. Mocha Chai- Love this! I was in need of caffeine from the tea and it also hit my sweet tooth with the chocolate. Grilled Cheese- I picked Focaccia Bread which I wouldn't pick that specific bread again but the cheddar cheese was great with bacon and tomatoes (additional charges). Overall Service: The folks behind the counter were pleasant. You don't really interact with anyone else after they call your name for your order because you do end up having to put away your own plates and mugs in their designated bins when you're done if you plan on hanging out here. The grilled cheese did take a bit too long but luckily I had a huge mug of chai to keep me occupied while I waited. read more

Oh Atomic, I wanted so much to add you to my list of favorite cafés. Unfortunately, you didn't make the cut. I wanted to try out for quite a bit of time, because well, the name was cool! But the products while good, aren't quite as awesome as the name. I ordered a macchiato, which is a shot of espresso with a little bit of foam (and not a very large sweet drink) and a Joppa Flat breakfast sandwich. The macchiato was good, it had a good bitterness and a little acidity. It was a little too acidic for my taste, but not by much. I do wish however that these came in sizes larger than one shot of espresso. The breakfast sandwich, however, was pretty disappointing. It was a flatbread in which was egg cheese bacon and tomato. Unfortunately, despite the tomato's presence, it was still very dry and underseasoned. I went looking for a pepper shaker, and I found one for the entire café. The ingredients were balanced, but because of the dryness, the flavors just didn't work together very well. I could taste them individually, but they didn't come together. Three small changes would make this sandwich much more awesome! First the very small amount of ketchup on the inside of the flatbread. Second, a very slightly runny egg. Third, having to cheese be melty and gooey. I also ordered a nitro cold brew coffee, and a glazed donut. The nitro cold brew coffee, unfortunately, did not live up to expectations. I found while it had that pleasant bitterness, it had an extremely high level of acidity that took away from the otherwise pleasant taste. I do however give them points for not putting any ice in there, it is nice to pay for 12 ounces of coffee and get 12 ounces of coffee, instead of having half weight taken up with water ice. The most pleasant thing I have had here though is the donut! It was very nice the glaze gave it just the right amount of sugary crisp, not nearly as much as Krispy Kreme, but still very pleasant. In fact, if you have to compare these to Krispy Kreme I like these ones better! In addition to the sugar, The dough itself was quite pleasant, it was light, airy, not buttery or oily, and not sweet (glaze added all the sweetness the donut needed). read more

My favorite coffee shop in town. The coffee is great, a wide variety of plant based milks helps. I definitely recommend the quirky turkey if you are stopping for food. If you have a date here you can get your coffees to go and explore the connected bookstore. read more

Cute space and lots of seating. Coffee is very expensive though, and the flavor of it and my friend's drink were both not good for a standard caramel and chai latte, so just not worth it. Forgot to mention a size and they defaulted to the largest size without asking for a drink I didn't enjoy anyways. I'd recommend looking elsewhere for cheaper and better tasting options. read more

Tasty food and cool environment. We went on a Saturday early afternoon and it was busy. All the seats were taken and it took about 15 minutes for us to get a panini and bowl. Worth the wait if you have the time. read more
