I ordered cappuccino. They gave me black coffee with milk and called it a cappuccino. Where's the espresso?! The word "cafe" is in the name!
My tuna salad sandwich was okay. A little pricey tho.

We originally wanted to try a different sandwich shop on I (Eye) Street. Unfortunately, the line was out the door when we arrived. We ended up at Atrium Café. They have a few outdoor tables, and very limited interior window bar seating. The shop has many grab & go items as well as hot and cold sandwiches, soup, and salad.
My husband ordered the Steak & Cheese sandwich. He was happy with his selection. It was made to order. The steak and veggies were grilled in front of us. I went with the Tuna Melt on Sourdough bread. The bread wasn't really grilled. The bread appeared to be toasted. The tuna was warm and the cheese was melted. It was made with fresh ingredients. I just expected it to have that buttery grilled bread. It missed the mark for me. I should have gone with the panini.
I'd give it another shot if I worked nearby. The pricing is reasonable. Especially for breakfast. I can see it being popular with the locals who work in that area. I just wouldn't get the Tuna Melt.

I need to go here more often. Super simple food counter with great breakfast sandwiches, lunch options coffee, etc. I stopped by the other day bc I went to Slipstream for coffee but their food choices were too foo-foo. I just wanted a regular bacon, egg, and cheese. Looked across the street, saw Atrium Cafe and immediately walked over. Went back the next day for a cheese steak. It was really good but a little small.

What a horrible experience I just had. I asked them to clean the grill because the couple on front of me ordered pork items and im a muslim and cant have the oil in my food. and the girl basically said she doesn't want to waste and that she can't clean the entire grill.....This was a few minutes before I ordered and the lady taking my order wasn't even paying attention to what I was saying she was just doing her own thing. When I saw what they were preparing and looked it was nothing I had ordered. Then all these Spanish women started teaming up against me . It was crazy. I told them I use to go out of my way to come get breakfast but after the way I was treated by the staff I'm never going back here again. They need to speak English better as well. I think being able to speak English helps a lot in life.Not a Muslim friendly establishment.

They have fresh ingredients and have the best smoothies less expensive than other places that use sugary syrups. It's my favorite place in NW.
Wheelchair accessibility: It's a small cafe with little room but the staff is very friendly and helpful.

It was quick, the staff was nice, and it was open at 6:30 in the morning. What else can you ask for?
Atrium Cafe is a great edition to the I st corridor, the food was great I love the spicy chicken wraps with the fries. The service was on point and worth the tips in the tip mug. The atmosphere was like a cool, hip environment where everyone looks hungry and friendly and speaks to each other. Definitely worth another trip.
