Review Summary

Atomic Café comes across as a quirky retro cafe with a vintage, rock and punk vibe and a welcoming, artsy atmosphere that attracts people for work, study or casual hangouts. Reviews praise the on point decoration, good music, and drinks, with coffee often described as excellent and items like the hot dog and the turkey and pesto sandwich standing out. The open mic Thursdays and the lively mood add a social edge, while the space is spacious, calm for focus, and full of character. Service quality is mixed but generally friendly, with some staff described as super nice and joking around, and others noted as slow or nonchalant. Decor is repeatedly highlighted as unique and authentic, recalling vintage elements and retro futuristic touches, sometimes with a lived in vibe. The menu is appreciated for variety and freshness, though some sandwiches can be chewy or not as strong as other items, and a few reviews mention cleanliness issues or unpleasant restroom experiences. Overall Atomic Café emerges as a neighborhood staple with good prices, great background music, and a warm, if imperfect, atmosphere that makes it easy to stay long and enjoy a coffee, a sandwich, or a chat.

The 60s decoration is on point, the music is good & the drinks & food are delicious!

Coffee is excellent & the hot dog punches far above its weight. Tout garni avec chips is the only way to go. The old decor is authentic & the place has a very lived in feel. In the past I've found some of their sandwich menu wasn't great but other items definitely shine. Merci :)

It really is a great spot to come if you have work to do & want to get out of the house. It's spacious & quiet, cute decor & the barista I always get is so sweet & funny. It's where I go when the library closes, since it has really good hours.

Un café sympathique rempli d'artistes en tout genre sans compter sur les jeudis soir ou Francis Prévost anime une soirée d'humoriste avec ses invités. Décor vintage unique. A découvri

L'atmosphère est rock & punk donc si vous êtes dans ça vous allez aimer. Je pense que le staff est sympathique & rock. Decor des années 90, caisse, verres, chaises, tables…ok on peut aimer ça mais: j'ai pas aimé le cappuccino, c'était le pire que j'ai jamais eu! Sans goût, café pas bon du tout & j'ai des doutes sur le lait ☹? Aussi: les chaises meubles & murs sont sales comme si rien n'est lavé! & ça sent mauvais! Désolé mais bon y a un minimum quand même à avoir ☹?

I love the decor of this cafe! They have really cute & unique vintage posters of montreal & the furniture also follows that theme. They have a large menu of drinks & sandwiches. I got the nutella hot chocolate & it was so good! Very warm, comforting, not too sweet, & a good quantity to share. The ham & brie sandwich was pretty good, generous portion. I also had some bites of the chili hot dog & it was ok. A very quiet spot, you could study or work here pretty easily. The service was also good, the guy at the cash was alone but he was fast & efficient.

Un café rétro à l'ambiance incroyable au plein coeur de la rue Ontario, parfaitement situé entre les divers commerces & restaurants. Les employés sont très agréables & semblent connaître beaucoup des clients par nom & leur parler comme de bons amis. Évidemment, la décoration est un de ces points forts; on y trouve énormement de pièces rétro & de nostalgie. Malheureusement, j'ai trouvé que l'endroit met beaucoup d'emphase sur l'expérience & un peu moins sur leur café qui était décent mais sans plus, par contre leurs sandwiches à un prix plus que raisonnable a pû compenser amplement pour le café. Je recommende d'y aller à une soirée poésie comme celle à laquelle j'ai pû assister; une expérience incroyable avec énormement de personnes de talent & une atmosphère acceuillante pour les artistes. En bref, parfait pour les fans du rétro un peu moins pour les passionés de bon café mais tout de même un excellent endroit pour épater lors d'un premier rendez-vous
