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

Atomic Cafe - Medium Mocha with Almond Milk - Cafes Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

Good drinks but stay away from the breakfast bowl. It is basically a small salad with egg on top, no sauce or dressing. For $8 it is too small and has no flavor. The only saving grace was the cholula that I doused it in. I've heard the breakfast sandwiches are good. Maybe next time I'll try that but this was disappointing. 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

I have been going to Atomic cafe since I was in High School when it was a small retro shop directly across the street from where it is today on Cabot Street. This coffee shop is a staple to the community, they have everything you are craving, muffins, sandwiches, great cappuccinos in large cups for you to sip and savor. It's a great spot to sit and chat with an old friend to catch up, meet someone for a casual date, have a small meeting. They serve alcohol which is a plus when you're in the mood. The place is generally pretty busy which is a good thing but sometimes it can difficult to grab a table or seat. You can get coffee beans to go so you can brew yummy caffeine at home and they have artwork of local artists up on the wall for sale which I appreciate being an artist myself. The sandwiches aren't cheap but are just as filling if you split one. I recommend calling ahead if you are in a rush, as sometimes they tend to be on the slower side. But I found that if you mention you're in a rush they will help you get on your way faster. Its a friendly atmosphere and the staff is very friendly which I greatly appreciate. I will be back and love to bring people visiting Beverly here :) 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

only go on your day off ..... food is good but not worth the 27 minute wait for a bacon, egg and cheese bagel. There's other options on Cabot Street. read more

Oh man. I had a local friend bring me here when I asked to go to a cute coffee shop with quality coffee, and this was perfect. We were there for a bit, during which I had two iced coffees - the first being a chocolate foam cold brew and the second being an iced peanut butter latte. Both were absolutely delicious, with their wonderful coffee taking center stage and not being overshadowed by the other flavors. I also had their chicken bacon ranch wrap for lunch that day, which was fresh, tasty, and filling! I love local spots like this that just get it right. They even sell their own cold brew in cans to go, so I grabbed the trifecta - one cold brew, one nitro cold brew, and one CBD-infused cold brew. I haven't tried the CBD one yet, but the other two were absolutely delicious and just how I like them - FULL of caffeine. (380 mg per can!) I go to the Boston area a few times a year, so I'll definitely be back here. read more

Very spacious cafe with lots of tables and seating available, which is a huge plus for any cafe. I typically get a latte for a first time visit, but I ventured out and tried the iced mocha. It was the perfect level of sweetness, which is hard to achieve, so four stars for them! My husband got the hot mocha latte, and our friend got a hot tea. Both of the hot drinks were good, too. I also appreciated the bathroom situation also - two individual full bathrooms, not stalls. I worried about a line forming, but that never happened during the 1.5 hours I was there. read more

I ordered through Seamless delivery. The food arrived fine and wrapped well. I got a cold brew coffee, a turkey and bacon wrap and an avocado toast wrap. My first time ordering from there and I would order from them again. The food was good and the coffee was better than anything I've had before. read more

I used to love coming to Atomic Cafe before Pandemic. Friendly staff and good ambiance. The coffee is good but the staff acts like that they hate their jobs. Never smiling, and rude. Do you hate your job so much that you can't be nice to customers. Only a few bad apples but that is all it takes. read more

What an amazing latte I had today! Yum! It was so smooth tasting. Nothing bitter about this latte. The Barista was awesome! Not only did it taste fabulous it looked great too! The foam on top was crazy perfect! Highly recommend this place. Also had a slice of the lemon poppyseed coffee cake. Extremely moist. The lemon flavor was spot on! Hope all of my future experiences here are just as great as this one! read more

Atomic Cafe - Vanilla latte - Cafes Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

10/10 suggest going for coffee! Or going to portray the "mysterious woman in the corner reading a book" vibe.

Hey. Atomic. I love you. Your coffee is amazing but I'm vegan and I can't eat anything here. Also kinda sucky...upcharging for non-dairy milks (what about those who have allergies?) I've inquired for about a year "hey do you guys ever carry vegan baked goods?" And the answer is always "sometimes...but they always sell out." I've been coming in regularly and have never seen these items. If they DO sell out, that means there is a demand! Get more! It would make a BIG difference to even have a single vegan muffin (and not just one hummus sandwich) for those of us who don't like eating animals. I'm pretty surprised, considering the proximity to an art school and other progressive communities nearby. Thanks! read more

Love the coffee HATE the stinginess of the manager! Trying to watch nutrition asked for cucumbers instead of potato chips. (Which not only had a NICE employee did on a previous day but did today for someone! She said that woman is "special"... GAH. So all customers are not equal folks! Be forwarned! PEOPLE OVER POLICY PLEASE! A few slices of cucumber is "not cost effective for us" GAH! Some employees are sweet. But helpless because of the stupid stingy policies. Is it really worth it to spread ill will? Maybe they think newcomers business doesn't matter. Charge 25 cents to sub or something! GIVE YOUR $#!@ customers what they want! read more

Atomic Cafe - What a JOKE. - Cafes Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

You know how in high school there was that one friend who left for summer vacation kinda dorky and came back senior year smokin' hot? That's the new Atomic Cafe in Beverly. The old Atomic was a dumpy little dive that I loved but was in need of a new wardrobe. That's what happened. They gutted the old place across the street, added in beautiful wood floors, a nice new roomy area for the baristas to work, sandwiches are made in a back kitchen, and good god the room. There are tables galore, booths to spare, and a decent amount of bar space. The tables are all fancy wood and there are comfy little nooks here and there in case you are having one of those morning after date night coffee. (Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about.) Still, most of the baristas need to learn how to pull a smooth and not bitter espresso and Atomic's coffee is stuck in the 90s darker roasts. I'd love it if they would experiment with some lighter roast varietals. But they are all medium roasted. Also, they serve blends in the cafe. They don't do pour over or aero press, so it's drip brew, espresso drinks, or iced coffee. The iced may or may not be cold brew. Atomic need to up their coffee roasting game. Their sandwiches are top notch and they have a few new pressed sandwiches on the menu. The turkey with apple and brie is awesome. Atomic is the place to go for long periods of studying but for great espresso... It's still Jaho or Gusto for me. I hope that the baristas will up their game to match the new digs. I also hope that the roasters will experiment with some different beans and roasting. read more

Have visited a couple times and have found the experience the best if coming for a quick lunch bite and coffee visit. Their lunch menu is quite large for a coffee shop, featuring lots of different sandwich options which can please any craving. All reasonably priced and come with a side bag of chips. Recommend as it is one of the best quick bites in the area. Their coffee is their local roast I believe and is quite good. Their cappuccinos and lattes are always a good choice and they offer huge iced drink sizes as well if that's what you're after. Would not recommend their pastries however, as they seem to be misses most of the time. Had some of their cookies and sweet loaf offerings and they have never been great. Usually taste similar to just store bought options. Overall, a solid 3 stars for their lunch options and hot coffee drinks with more than ample seating and cozy coffee shop environment that is desperately welcome in the beverly area. read more

Atomic Cafe - iced chai and blueberry loaf - Cafes Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

Super impressed with their expansion - the place is huge and hip! My favorite drink is either the chai charger or mocha chai latte-so good. I normally get the turkey panini, but the chicken salad with cranberries is delicious as well. Favorite spot around the north shore! read more

Atomic Cafe - Mocha Chai latte and turkey panini -- so delicious! - Cafes Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

I cannot go to Beverly without going to Atomic. Every time I come here, the baristas are extremely friendly and never fail to provide me with the best coffee on the north shore. I compare every other coffee shop I've been to (which is quite a few) to Atomic and there's just no doubt in my mind that Atomic is the best. No matter what you order, you will always be satisfied. I definitely recommend their espresso drinks. Not only do they make beautiful art on top, but the espresso is so rich and smooth you could probably drink a shot of it plain and still love it. Go here. Trust me. You won't regret it. read more

Atomic Cafe - Literally the best place I've been to for coffee. - Cafes Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

I love atomic. First, super cool vibe. Totally artsy cafe feel. I usually get the green dragon tea. I've tried a chocolate chip muffin (mediocre) and a chocolate chip cookie- amazing! Haven't tried other food or drink, but my friends always enjoy whatever they order! read more

Atomic Cafe - Green dragon tea & CC cookie- get the cookie - Cafes Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

One of the best cafés I've been to on the east coast. Here are a few reasons this place is killer: 1. The only place I've seen a Yirg on effing drip, and it's delicious. 2. Well priced and very tasty sandwiches. 3. Nitro cold brew on tap. 4. Beer is also on tap 5. Great ambience. Trendy without feeling cold or pretentious. GO HERE. read more

Atomic Cafe - Nitro cold brew. Aint she a beauty. - Cafes Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

Placed my order online for pickup. After I got home, I discovered my order was incomplete. I called to request a refund of that item but the manager said they couldn't process any refund because the order was placed online. Lesson learned... not happy with the service and will not be back. read more

Grilled cheese w/bacon on a multigrain, Grilled cheese w/bacon on Ciabatta with chips and a pickle (both surprises to the sandwiches). Fantastic coffee (Americano and Macchiato) for a total of $23. Beautiful inside. Great customer service. Fantastic! Also, you can order their coffee beans to be delivered for home brewing. read more

great staff always! awesome sandwiches and has been a local treasure for years Love their chai lattes and cold brew!

DELICIOUS espresso beverages and one of the cleanest, most beautiful, and lovely spaces I've seen in a long time. The espresso is freshly ground for every single drink they make and they have very high end and high quality machines they use to make their drinks. The staff is friendly & it's obvious they really care about the customers and the quality of the beverages they're serving. Definitely stop in for your morning coffee or espresso! read more

Terribly passive aggressive service at the smoothie bar on Sunday morning 2/11. They gave me a confusing answer about protein flavors, and caused a moment of miscommunication. After giving a generous tip I heard the girls making fun of my confusion. When they finished making my smoothie, they left it sitting on the other side of the counter for 2 min while serving those who ordered after me. I've never written a review before and while I understand complaining about customers among coworkers, I don't understand why they made my smoothie and didn't serve it right away. Hiring disrespectful mean girls isn't good for business. read more

No idea how I've walked by so many times and just now went in for a coffee. Kicking myself as this place has a fantastic coffee menu! They also have lunch items but we stuck with the coffees. I got an iced caramel latte. Loved the smooth taste although not as strong as I expected. My coffee drinking partner in crime got the cold brew. So good. I may have made him switch and later finished off my original coffee. Who needs sleep... One thing to improve would be where the specials board is. We didn't see it at all until after we'd ordered the coffee and there were two specials I would have ordered before a normal latte. Next time I go for sure (if they're still on the board). Plenty of seating which was nice. read more

Always impressed with cappuccinos. Probably the best flavor-wise espresso I've had in the states. My only suggestion is making them a liiittle hotter. Especially in "to stay" mugs. My drink usually gets cold within the first 5 minutes. The food is also great- I'm never disappointed, besides my ok scone, but I cut them some slack because scones are a bitch and a half to get right. I always come here when I cat sit for my sister (hehe) and look forward to coming and sitting on my computer for a while. There's usually enough seating, so I have yet to run into a problem. Keep up the good work read more

Got several coffees and everyone agreed they were excellent. Got the garden sandwich for breakfast. Excellent! Egg and cheese bagel also excellent. The everything bagel is the best. read more

Atomic Cafe is a cute indie coffee shop. Staff was super friendly and seemed like a nice place to sit and study. We had the nitro cold brew which was alright although a little too acidic for my taste and the breakfast bowl. While it was good, it was quite small for the price (like the size of a cereal bowl). All in all, 2 small breakfast bowls, a slice of toast with butter and a coffee was $25 which seemed a bit pricey. Willing to give it another shot since maybe we just didn't get the best things on the menu. read more

I like stopping in for a smoothie now and again. They sometimes have pre-packed gluten free cookies or brownies on the counter that aren't sold anywhere else within walking distance, so a smoothie and a treat is always fun! They can make gluten free wraps which are pretty good too. They're very busy and tend to run out of ingredients a lot, but if you go between rush hours, you can sometimes snag a nice seat and take in the warm atmosphere. Wish they had more gluten free options! Now that I've gone a lot, I know the layout really well. However, whenever I bring someone new, they always feel a bit lost and aren't sure how to go about ordering, getting a seat, and clearing their table. This leads to people stepping on toes by mistake and tables not being cleared properly sometimes. Add to that some poor acoustics which make it hard to hear when your order is called, and it can feel almost exclusive. read more

i think the coffee is good here but nothing crazy. i don't like the grilled cheese. the atmosphere can be kinda hectic and crowded

I love the space. Really large area for a coffee place. I got a breakfast sandwich and coffee. I loved the coffee. Breakfast sandwich didn't have much flavor. I had to put salt & pepper on it when I got home. Friendly quick staff with lots to choose from. Big selection of lunch sandwiches I will try next. And they have beer and wine! read more

I use to live in Beverly and be a regular customer, I called before breakfast was over at 11:20 (As breakfast ends at 11:30), and the cashier told me they wouldn't take anything for breakfast at that time, even though I told her the time didn't arrive yet. I think it's very unfortunate when a place of business will not complete the services that are offered just because they want to close the kitchen early, it's not difficult to keep your word to your clients. Now you have one less loyal customer. read more

I wish half my friends did not work here. While I do partake in the assorted coffee drinks, their food is over priced for its taste and low-grade atmosphere--if I wanted to listen to over-played shoe-gazing music I would have stayed in college. Fair at best. PEOPLE OF BEVERLY! IMPLORE YOU, GET OVER ATOMIC CAFE! Especially because places like (forgive its cheezy name) Monets Garden are so close and so much better. read more

Not a fan. Got a salad ($7) that was filled with lettuce - not even cut up. I don't know, call me crazy, but when I get a salad at lunch time I like it chopped so I can eat it with a fork. Not the case here. There were 2 thin slices of tomatoes and a scoop of hummus plopped on top. Supposedly there was tabbouleh but I didn't find any. It did come with a free hair. I'm pretending I didn't see it because I was starving and muscled through it. The overpriced coffee looks pretty good - but I'm over the food. Next time your in the mood for a head of lettuce head over to stop and shop and save yourself $6. 1 star read more

Its a crap shoot when you call in. Maybe you get a "normal" staff person and maybe you get an argumentative individual. Can't deal with it first thing in morning. read more

atomic cafe has the best espresso drinks in the area, hands down. I, and my friends, call their lattes "magical." I am addicted to their iced caramel latte, I have one every day. This is not the place for someone who is looking for a clean, friendly, cozy cafe. This is where you go to meet up with friends, get a bite to eat and relax. I've managed to get some work done there before, but I'm sure I would've been more efficient somewhere quieter. It is rarely quiet there, almost always there is a line.It is not somewhere you go to zip in and out for a quick cup of coffee, the starbucks down the street has a drive through for that. not that I've been to starbucks in the last year, because atomic is right near my house. Atomic is the perfect spot to spend a lazy afternoon, eating, drinking and being merry with good company. read more

Live close by and have been here a number of times. It's the trendy place for the cool kids. And it's ALWAYS packed. The staff is nice, despite being moderately too cool for school. Generally we've enjoyed the food and coffee. Service is the main issue, at times rude but mostly fine. Coffee is fine. Got a chocolate chip brownie - was quite good. Thick, between fudgy and cake like. Got a breakfast Joppa Flat: good size, had some flavor, popped when covered in hot sauce. Good breakfast sandwich. Nice, cool place to hang out. read more

I'll have to say this place is decent. They have wi-fi. They have a very decent drink selection. They have food that is satisfying, but isn't super high quality (because they are a coffee shop essentially trying to sell food, not the other way around) I haven't had any issues with customer service here yet, everyone has been friendly to me thus far. I did want to comment on Josie M.'s review with some insight from another restaurant employee. I work at a restaurant that does not allow people to turn salads into wraps. The reason being is time/consistency. What happens if your salad is too big to fit into the wrap, is the prep supposed to leave the rest on the side? Does he just not give you whats left over? How will the staff charge you? These are all decisions that slow down customer service and may make for a worse experience at a restaurant. The next question is, will you come in for this Salad as a Wrap again? or Will you tell your friends to ask for the same order? I've dealt with many experiences where customers got experimental (even with something as simple as Josie suggested), and expected consistency every time they came in even though it wasn't an item on our menu. At a certain point restraints need to draw the line and say, you must order something that is on our menu and work with that. Otherwise, you should go to a Ritzy restaurant where you pay a lot of money for a chef to make you food or go home and make the food for yourself if you want something more tailored to your needs. Note: I am a vegan as well, so I can relate on wanting to find more vegetarian items on menus. Just try to work WITH the restaurant and you will get something that is satisfying. Atomic Cafe does have 5 wraps that are vegetarian already. read more

good coffee, food and atmosphere. Two thumbs up for these people having style, smarts, and all around good taste! Why can't there be a place like this in the city?! read more
