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.
Beau spot. Ambiance rétro réussie! Le service était sympa. Le serveur est un cool guy, littéralement. J'ai pris le Tiki smoothie (ananas & coco) avec un chili dog. Ce n'était pas très élaboré, mais c'était bon! Y'a eu un sound check qui nous a pété les oreilles à un moment donné, mais autrement, ce fût une expérience sympa.
Très chouette café. On y a pris un déjeuner pour bien commencer notre journée. Le café & le carrotCake sont excellent. Le serveur était très sympa. Le tout dans une ambiance rétro. Au Top 🤩
This places gives me hope. It's living room vibes, mixed with Mtl history. A Queer safe place & wonderfully no frills. It's a pilar of the hochelaga community. It's's open late.with comfort foods, coffee, beer & drinks that hit the spot. I hope it never changes. Thank you for existing 🕺
Love the retro design - interior & the patio even. Cool staff. Spacious & perfect for different occasion: whether it's work or date 💞💻 Multi purpose venue. They have live performances & open mic too apparently 🎤 I tried their sandwiches twice - brie & jambon was great. prosciutto pear was good too. The bread was not as fresh as the first time & that could because the second time was a Sunday evening. Tried the iced coffee too. Reasonably priced food & normal for coffee.
What a charming place! The vibes are immaculate, the baristas are friendly, & it's on a vibrant, walkable street. Will want to stop back here next time I'm in Montreal!
Dope place!! The service was top notch. I had a cold brew which was suggested by the staff. I believe he was the owner of the place. It was legit delicious!! I wish I could have had an extra large one!! I look forward to going back to Atomic Cafe!!!
Bonne bouffe abordable. Côté ambiance : j'aime bien, mais c'est un endroit assez bruyant avec de la musique qui est parfois plus forte & parfois moins. Environnement un peu rétro où plusieurs vont s'y installer pour travaille
