Atomic Café - Beverly

Delicious coffee and fresh made sandwiches. Plenty of seating, windows and adjoining juicery for those trying to lay off the stimulants.

$20k Marzocco machine and the cappuccino was like drinking a cigarette. Hope they dial in the machine soon. Bathrooms were clean. Cake of dust on fans in ceiling. Baked goods display needs a cleaning.

Felt a little odd, coming in without a laptop. Why do people take a 4-person table to sit with one laptop? Good food, good bev, great servers, an excellent bookstore adjacent.

I have been a customer of Atomic for many years, since they were at their previous location. They have steadily been doing downhill. This morning, I ordered a simple breakfast sandwich and coffee to-go. The crowd was about average. 20 minutes went by, during which I saw other customers who came after me receive their food and leave. I asked to check on my order, they came back and said it would be another 5 minutes. At this point the place was empty, no one waiting. Another 5 minutes goes by; I check on the order again. This time I am offered a donut as a distraction. I told them I didn’t want a donut, just the food I ordered. They said they would check. Another 5 minutes went by, I told them I wanted to cancel my order. They tried to say it would be out soon, but when they asked the kitchen about it she just shrugged her shoulders. I asked what the problem was, they just said it was busier than usual. At this point the restaurant had no other customers waiting, and the kitchen staff wasn’t working on anything. Seems like they just chose to never make it. After over 30 minutes waiting at Atomic, I went somewhere else and got my food within 5 minutes. Atomic, you have lost a 10+ year customer. For anyone else: there are a lot of great coffee spots in downtown Beverly, there is no reason to put up with long wait times and the outrageous prices at Atomic. Try another spot and you’ll be much happier!! :

The culinary offerings are superb, complemented exquisitely by the exceptional coffee. A minor mishap with my sandwich occurred, yet it was rectified with commendable swiftness by the attentive kitchen staff. The ambiance radiates a welcoming warmth, enhanced by the vibrant, eclectic decor that captivates and charms, providing a perfect canvas for leisurely dining or a delightful coffee experience.
