Above: The Lean, Mean Bean Machine.

The Atomic Café in Beverly (and now Marblehead) offers great, freshly prepared coffee that they roast, grind and brew on premises. The Cabot St. location is small, but packs in a lot of character, and flavor.

Decked out like a classic diner, Atomic may seem like a blast from the past, but there’s nothing antiquated about what they serve. Along with a substantial sandwich and salad menu packed with tasty items like the Turkey Cordon Bleu, you’ll find a bevy of baked goods including cupcakes from the nearby, world-famous Cupcake Café. Food is top-notch and very reasonably priced.

The Atomic Café is a longstanding favorite among Beverly locals and a great place to refill the fuel tank with caffeine and food, but probably not a great place to have your karma re-tooled. Loud music and louder décor make Atomic a little too intense for meeker souls or those just wishing to relax.

The coffee itself is straightforward stuff, succeeding by its freshness and quality. Each bean seems to be a labor of love, and you can taste the difference in their local roast. Overall, I would recommend Atomic to any coffee lover. If you have a problem with the ambiance, get it to go.

 

Find it at 265 Cabot St. in Beverly or 14 School St. in Marblehead.
