My hot macchiato was barely lukewarm. They were out of everything bagels and it wasn’t even 10 AM yet. My sausage egg and cheese was mid. Don’t think I’ll be trying these guys again.

I love this place because you can always find a spot and it closes at 6. The staff are friendly BUT…everytime I stay later than 4 they start piling chairs on top of tables. Not that quiet either. That’s 2 hours before closing. I can understand when it’s done 30mins before closing but to see the place where you are hanging piled with chairs on the tables just feels like you’re getting kicked out. Imagine if you were invited to dinner at 5 and by 7 your guest was washing the dishes and flipping the chairs and said: don’t worry stay as long as you like.
Now I leave every time the chairs go on top of the tables. It’s too annoying. Too transactional. Like oh look we can’t make more $ anyways so let’s not care about the people who actually consumed and are still here to enjoy the vibe.

The cashier was so rude. I ordered a muffin and she didn’t even ask if I wanted anything else. She rang up the sale and I asked for some butter and knife. She then rudely said “there’s an extra charge for that and you should have asked for butter when you told me what you wanted.” The muffin was delicious but the service was awful. Not to mention that the muffin was almost $4

Good food, good vibes, good staff.... but something is very, very wrong with their workflow. I've waited 30-40 minutes for a sandwich many times, and that's when they aren't even particularly busy. I can't recommend the place as a result; there's no such thing as a quick coffee here.

We are from out of town and the restaurant was recommended by a local. The person who took our order at the counter was very pleasant and explained it would take about 20 minutes for our orders. We had some difficulty finding seats. There were people on lap tops and one person checking a stack of mail in front of her. The restaurant is comfortable with people keeping a table. When we got our order my wife's croissant was burnt.She brought it back and the new person at the counter appeared annoyed. Not the "Friendliest Place In Town" like a sign inside says. The turkey sandwiches we had were pretty good.

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.
