Cool coffee bar and lounge. Clean restrooms and a fireplace with cosy nooks - and surprisingly great coffee. Espresso is best here

Atomic Coffee is one of my go-to coffee shops in Royal Oak! I love the cozy atmosphere of the area and if you go during the day, it's usually not too busy. I found that later in the day, it can be a bit difficult to get seating for more than two people, but there are plenty of benches around the area, which makes it a convenient location. The employees are always responsive, and give great recommendations for food and beverages! Today, I got a spinach feta pastry and, my personal favorite, the cardamom rose latte. The pastry had a great texture and flavor to it, especially when warmed up. The cardamom rose latte was superb as always. read more

Love this place! Feels super cozy inside unlike some nearby competitors.. :) Absolutely addicted to their bacon croissant sandwich and I've always had great experiences with their servers and baristas. The coffee is kind of just okay IMO, but it gets the job done. read more

I was originally leaning towards a 4/5, specifically regarding the espresso which I would rate at an 8.6/10. The factors pushing it into the 5's include the location in DT Royal Oak, and the indoor space itself which has three distinct spaces to choose from that all have their own nice vibe with elevation change, adding to a more 3D interior feel. Along with that the berry lemonade was refreshing and had the correct balance of sweet and sour. read more

I asked the batista for a suggestion for a syrup to add to my iced chai latte and when she said chocolate I said let's go for it! It did not disappoint. Spicy and yummy. Only disappointment was I drank it way too fast! read more

I didn't have any food here, but their nitro brew selections are great. The Honey Bear was surprisingly good, and the service was very prompt. The atmosphere is very calm, and modern, and honestly made me wish I had something to work on so I could sit down and just hangout. read more

We loved our first and now second experience at this coffee shop. Today we had a Honey Vanilla Latte and hot chocolate with almond milk. This time we added breakfast and it was delicious. The seating is comfortable and ample. Music playing was upbeat. The service was great. We definitely will r read more

Atomic is a RO staple, open late so that any work or meetings or conversations can happen with your cup of coffee in front of you. With that being said, it is always packed and fighting for a table with isn't really my favorite thing to do. They do have some fun flavors and would recommend a latte as their coffee tastes a little bit burnt. I got a matcha the last time i went and it was made with a lot of care and they didn't overpower with too much sweetness read more

This is the coziest little coffee shop. They have a wide variety of coffees and coffee drinks. I had the most delicious honey vanilla lattes the other day. The staff is fast and friendly. read more

Lots of unique drink and food options. The staff are all very friendly and quick. It is a relaxing environment to get homework done.

To be honest, I haven't been to Atomic Coffee in a while, but any time I've been, it's been great! They have a large menu ranging from traditional lattes, cappuccinos, teas, hot chocolates, smoothies, juices, food items, and more. I've had their hot chocolate a few times in the past, and it's always delicious. I've also had the peachy keen smoothie which was so refreshing. One thing I love about this place is the atmosphere here. It's a great place to hang out, study, or to go for a casual coffee date. I need to make a trip back soon! read more

It's been awhile- Not sure why I haven't ventured in again but Atomic is still holding it down as a veritable coffee house- so rare now that Starbucks prefers you drive thru like it's McDonalds And choices you don't find everywhere anymore Lucky Charms Latte (see pic) perfect ending to a nearby meal Still charming inside and knowledgeable staffing read more

Atomic Coffee - Lucky Charms Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

This is a fun place to visit, especially if you want an experience away from a big chain coffee shop. We like to visit local shops and we have actually been here a few times. This is the first time I remember actually stopping in and staying awhile (or else it has literally been too long and I don't remember). We visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was fairly crowded but not too much that we could not get a seat. Good people watching place and good place to socialize or study. We ordered a mocha and vanilla honey latte. I had the latte and it was so good, smooth, and creamy, it actually tasted like a golden graham cracker in the best possible way, like a comfort drink. They have a little bit of food, like some sandwiches and croissants. The croissants look really good especially the plain and the pain au chocolat. I also asked about their lemonade, which sounds good, they have regular, berry, and lavender. I am very curious to try some. I am also curious about how good their affegado it, sounds enticing on a future visit. read more

I can't believe I've never posted about Atomic! It's one of my favorite spots in Royal Oak. Whether you want a casual meetup with friends or a space to get some work done, it's a great location. My favorite is an iced Mexican Mocha. Make sure to grab an almond croissant too! read more

Atomic Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

Not many options available for July 4th, so it wasn't surprising to see this place packed. Trendy corner coffee shop serving coffee and a full menu. Semi long line that showed some time to decide what we wanted. Was going to get both food and coffee, but they said it'll take at least 30min no matter what we ordered for food. Opted instead to just have the "Grizzly Bear" drink ($6.75). There was nothing that explained what it was, so went for it blindly. Basically it's a variation of a mocha, lots of ice, may have had more coffee than usual. Not too bad, but not substantial enough for the price. Obviously since it was a busy day, items did take some time to come out. May be better on a normal morning. read more

A fantastic local coffee shop! I got a Honey Vanilla Latte Iced, so delicious! It was a perfectly balanced coffee, not too sweet & not without the coffee taste. I also got an OG Burrito wrap for breakfast, so good! The service was decently quick for how busy it was. The interior was very cozy but also work friendly. It was packed but not noisy. The coffee came out quickly but the food did take a minute. The staff was friendly, overall I recommend! read more

I have been here a few times and it's such a great spot with delicious coffee, and a variety of pastries and food items. The service is great, the staff is helpful and the cafe is clean. It's a good place to get work done, there is a lot of seating available and most of the times I've been here the majority of customers are studying or working. I recently got the mocha with cinnamon and wow it was excellent. The latte art is beautiful, the drink was creamy and the chocolate was rich. This is definitely a go-to spot for hanging out, doing work, and having a great drink and/or pastry. read more

I love the vibe of Atomic coffee. This coffee shop has its own look and feel. The coffee is excellent. I had a Mexican mocha - one of the best. If you are staying, coffee is served in a mug (mucho appreciated). Plenty of seating and tables. Great place to get some work done. Bakery items and some food stuff is available. Service was friendly. read more

Coffee is decent but service completely ruins the atmosphere. Man at the counter acts like it's a pain to order food and every time I come and order food it's the same experience. It was also a Wednesday when it was completely not busy, strange customer experience for sure. read more

Atomic coffee is a very cute coffee shop that features coffee, tea, and some appropriate food like croissants. The servers were very friendly and it looks they have a few regulars. It's a cute place to sit and people watch. I got a lavender drink and a regular coffee. Sorry for the lack of detail, I was in and out pretty quick. A nice local alternative to the big box coffee house. read more

The warm, cozy vibe is amazing especially in the winter! I love the food and coffee options, especially the honey vanilla latte and spicy avocado bagel, 10/10! And staff is so kind! read more

If you're ok with your order probably being wrong and sub par customer service, this place is for you! The taste of the coffee is unmatched! I've never had a bad tasting coffee from here and their options for drinks are plentiful. Their food is also tasty and fresh and I appreciate the variety. Sometimes you have to wait a bit for your order if they're busy but that's understandable. However, they somehow always get the order wrong in some way. Then when you tell them, they're very short with you. I've gone here several times over the years and no matter what worker I interact with I get the same results - not friendly and irritated that they got my order wrong. My friends and family have had the same experiences here and we don't know what it is. Anyways, plenty of seating and they are dog friendly if you like that. Clean place and a good place to try - just don't come with expectations and you'll be happy with your visit. I'm sure I'll be back to visit too read more

Only took a star off because my takeout sandwich took 15 minutes, which felt like too long to wait on a weekday morning. Excellent sandwich, excellent coffee, hip atmosphere; appreciate the outside seating. Definitely recommend, and I'd absolutely go back, I think I'd just order ahead next time! read more

Atomic Coffee - Bacon Croissant has cheddar and egg - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

I decided to give their house blend drip coffee ($2.50) a try since I didn't want to splurge $5 on a nitro cold brew but it was just OK. There wasn't much of a strong after taste, and it's about average or slightly below in my opinion. My friend did get their honey vanilla latte which she loved along with a pastry. She slurped half of the latte before I even got a chance to take a picture (see below). Maybe lattes are the move here? Definitely willing to give this cafe another try eventually! Great interior and indoor seating! read more

Honey vanilla latte with almond milk is where it's at. I still give Atomic a 3/5 due to the lack of electrical outlets. For a coffee shop with such high volume and people using laptops/electronics, still blows my mind. Clearly didn't remember by first review about the lack of them when I revisited today. read more

As someone who travels often for work I make it my business to find quaint, unique, or comfortable coffee shops where one is able to sit down and work for their computer while drinking a cup of dealers choice, within the visiting city. for this, I always come to Yelp as they tend to be the most verifiable, and honest. This is now my third time at Atomic Coffee and can say without a doubt, it will remain my favorite. I cannot comment on their food selection as I have never ordered, however this time around I have a delightful 12 oz. hot cocoa with oak milk. to was both delicious, and comforting to drink while working and enjoying the gloomy. cloudy weather outside. Give Atomic Coffee a try, I'm glad I did. read more

Consistently good coffee and food, equally consistent terrible service and attitude from staff. I always feel like i'm putting them out when I order. And i'm ordering the item exactly as it is on the menu. Whenever I suggest atomic, my boyfriend always sighs because he knows it's an ordeal to go there and feel like you are inconveniencing the person taking your order. I will keep coming back for the breakfast burrito and honey vanilla latte but i'm annoyed I like them so much because the experience is so sub par. It's a good spot to work and has a nice feel to it with ample space and outlets and you don't feel on top of each other but the service just really knocks this place down a few pegs. read more

The line was looonnnngggg. But it moved sorta fast ish. Only one bar, so they moved as fast as they could. I got the honey vanilla latte while my sister got the cardamom rose. Good flavors. It was light and nothing spectacular. They don't have matcha FYI. The space has quite a bit of tables and plugs! Lots of people were here to study. Wow! Very busy at around noon on a Saturday! The baristas were definitely hipster. Loved that! read more

Don't understand all the great reviews. Not a bad place but nothing special. It's all hard surfaces making sound echo. It's noisy Asked for WiFi password. Instead of just telling me the clerk referred me to sign on wall again not bad but why not just say it. Overall a solid meh read more

Atomic Coffee is so welcoming inside and has delicious drinks and snacks! My friend and I both love their dirty chai and they have fun little pudding cups I enjoy. It's fun to study and work here, but it is a rather busy coffee shop so it can get loud, but it's generally manageable. I am excited to continue to return and try more items on the menu! read more

This place is lucky it's so popular. The drinks are overpriced. There's no music playing. I got a hot mocha and it was cold less than 2 mins after leaving the store. They have no whipped cream in the cafe. I've given it a few tries and each time I leave wondering why I went here again. I must be missing something. read more

Really love this place. Great ambience and good service. The chocolate croissant was heavenly, especially since they offered to heat it up. Chef's kiss! read more

You will fall in love with this place. read more

The line was quite long but worth waiting. Their latte is good and bright. It has a strong coffee flavor but is not too bitter, harsh, or dry. It is a well-balanced combination between coffee and milk. They have many outlets if you'd like to work here but a bit crowded indoor. They do have many outdoor seats without outlets. Personally, it is not clean enough so I took one star off. It might be because of the dingy lighting. Specifically speaking, - Ambiance 8/10 - Cleanliness 7/10 - Barista 10/10 - Working Vibe 10/10 - Noise 6/10 - Coffee 10/10 - Tea quality 7/10 - Tea variety 5/10 - Pastries quality 10/10 - Pastries variety 5/10 read more

The A in Atomic Coffee stands for AMAZING! I've had Atomic Coffee bookmarked on Yelp for what feels like years. On a whim, my boyfriend and I stopped in recently since we were in the area. I appreciated the large sign on the front door due to Covid restrictions (wear a mask, don't find a seat before ordering, etc) There was a clear and direct flow to their system, which is also so appreciative. Too many times have I gone into another coffee shoppe and it's just absolute chaos, despite having to social distance. Coffee shoppes are very, very overwhelming to me. What I loved about this one was their menu was straight to the point and their online menu was also current and updated. I ordered the iced honey vanilla latte based on the good reviews. It was kindly made quickly and the barista was quite kind and welcoming. The drink? AMAZING. I probably had a dream about it last night. For the price point of over $5 I definitely felt it was worth. Very sweet, but not in an overpowering kind of way. I'm not a hot coffee girl, so this iced latte was a win! My boyfriend is not a coffee fan, but he told me he would love to come back again to just relax and hang out. Atomic Coffee makes the place cozy and relaxing. Everyone was spaced out and it was quite clean too! They also offer smoothies, juices, and other baked delights. Don't walk ... run to Atomic Coffee! You won't be disappointed. read more

yummy get the iced honey vanilla latte it's delicious. Everytime i get it i do the most work and the interior is delicious
