Atomic Café - Beverly

I love this place! They have fantastic avocado toast and great drinks!

It took 10 minutes to receive my espresso shot, but I didn't mind. The staff was attentive and seemed to be enjoying their work. Creating a positive atmosphere like this is rare and usually comes naturally, but when a restaurant achieves it, it's like capturing magic in a bottle.

Ahh atomic. Previously you were a cozy little coffee shop with a sunken sofa and dimm lighting, a real place to hang out and chat with friends about an excellent coffee. it has been for several years to visit the opposite, and so perhaps this review is not quite fair, but I am sad to see that the space and the image has been revised into a cheap looking industrial-chic homegoods theme. it no longer has a local caffe feeling, it and more a small chain. coffee is still good to be sure, but not great compared to other local shops, and the vibe is more along the lines of a diet today, unfortunately.

I must admit I was a bit annoyed this morning while waiting for a breakfast sandwich (bacon, egg, cheese on ciabatta bread), especially when people who ordered after me received their food first. But I have to say, every second of waiting was worth it. Absolutely delicious! I would definitely wait again. Thank you!

The coffee is fine but it’s ALWAYS so slow. I really wish they’d take down the “friendliest place in town” sign. I’ve been here a dozen times, and I think I’ve maybe seen one person smile. These are some grumpy baristas.
