This is a relaxed coffee shop. Clean, professional presentation that seems formal at first, but one quickly realizes that there is no hurry to leave, and you are in fact welcome to stay(even take time to read).The menu is well designed, and posted on the wall. The staff is on their game, and comfortably avant guard. In my humble opinion, the price point is spot on for their product.I look forward to visiting again.

A solid Euro-decor coffee shop to have a deliscious latte, espresso, coffee, or on a warm day, this deliscious strawberry 🍓 smoothie 😋. Nice staff, comfy music [not too loud too], and cool decor all in the ❤ of downtown Royal Oak 😎.

This is one of the good coffee shops in the area. I come here so often every time I go to Royal Oak. I see a lot of people there always, it is crowded place. Good place for study, meetings, and setting. As I mentioned it is crowded, but it still good for study. Spacious place has many chairs and tables, they still good with following the social distance. I like to drink a sweet drinks, so I took honey vanilla latte. They do have really good kind of coffee and bunch of good drinks. Go visit the place, bring your family or friends. Specially in nice weather that open all windows of the store so it will nice and fresher.

Finally a place still open after 9pm!! They also make delicious coffee and have plenty of snacks. The workers are pleasant and don’t play the music too loud.Definitely going to be back for more studying and homework.

We came in late for coffee and the service was really great. I loved the Lavender Latte and my husband chugged his honeybear coffee. The chocolate croissant was good. I love that it stays open late so we could grab coffee after dinner.

Honey vanilla latte is the best. Snagged a couple of pastries which were delicious. The breakfast burrito is also a must. Cool vibes. Great place for good coffee and conversation.

Brought my moms nurses 6 lattes from atomic. I waited no more than 7 minutes for 6 drinks. They were so kind. I loved the vibe here.

While the design layout is quite nice, the service, over the course of years, often leaves much to be desired. The coffee is better than Starbucks, but I bet that another local non-chain cafe with some atmosphere would do well in competition.Why do the managers, even as they change, always seem to not have time to be nice or care? Only new untrained staff are polite. ~ I surmise that the main management is to blame for the bad attitude that leaks out to long term employees. It’s sad, a type of culture not worth supporting.-Recently, I asked for my pastry to be warmed and got the response that “It was” followed by quickly averted attention.I had asked for this after hovering my hand over it to check. So, no surprise that the pastry I did end up eating was resting room temperature and cool in the middle.

Expensive. Product is just okay.Service is slow, but good. The coffee was brought right to me after it was finished (pour over) the design of the shop is great! Great environment to talk or get some work done. Neat mix of younger and older people. Trendy. Not my favorite place, but still good if you are ready to drop some money for pastries and coffee. :)

I’ve been coming here for years staff has been good for the most part. I never had any issues here until Literally two weeks before the mask mandate was over smh I walk in there to order per usual and the manager with the long blonde hair was completely rude about my mess not being on properly and even threatened to call the cops on me. I will never come to this place again it’s funny because the mask mandate was over two weeks later and he made this whole big ordeal about it 🤷🏻

Coffee is a unique flavor. Much better than the mainstream place across the street. Definitely one of your better coffee places around town.

I spent 25 minutes waiting for my coffee, which is totally fine as I was in no rush and the baristas were fixing an issue with the espresso grinder (im a seasoned barista myself, it happens). however, I was first in line yet was helped after two patrons who seemed to be regulars by how chummy they were with the staff. thankfully a kind female barista quickly made my drink and gave me a coupon for my next visit. 50/50 experience today, shoutout to the girl who had to sweep up all the coffee beans for making it better

Hands down one of the best Chai Tea Lattes Ive had in a long time! The place is a bit pricey but worth it for a nice treat. Get there early because it gets super crowded. Love to sit next to the big windows and just people watch Royal Oak.

Great atmosphere- COVID responsible but can still chill and meet someone to chill and enjoy a cold brew. Love the unique flavors they have and support a local business. My fav is the polar ice cap

Nasty attitudes. They have outside seating but you can’t sit and eat. If you have other food from somewhere else it’s a big no-no. Also the coffee was mediocre as hell, do better.

Review №32

Great local coffee shop. Very cool interior and they usually have some good music playing too. Nice place to study, have a coffee date, or to meet a friend and catch up.Get the Cardamom Rose Latte, the Mexican Mocha, or the Polar Bear for something fancy, and their house and dark blends are very good too. They even do one free refill on the regular coffee drinks (or they did before COVID). Highly recommend this place.

I have been here multiple times, and I am always happy with the service. It is an ideal place for social purposes. On the flip side, I do not find it ideal for studying or doing homework because it is too loud for me.The coffee is good. In my most recent visit, I ordered the Toasted Coconut Latte. It was stronger on the coffee side of flavor than it was on the toasted coconut. I was okay with that because it was a good balance for the drink.The speed of service here is always quick. For this latte, my total wait time was no more than two minutes.

Review №49

This is a very cool coffee shop. I do like that they offer lavender favored lattes. The last time I was there I was sold a latte with bitter espresso. This is most likely because the shot died before hand or because the machine needed maintenance. Every other time I have ordered from here my lattes have been great. My only critique are the employees. They have always been a bit abrasive. I do wish the employees were a little more friendly.

This is my favorite coffeehouse in the greater Detroit area and is a mandatory stop for whenever I am in town. Their cold brews are not only fantastic, but available with some fantastic preparations. The ambiance is friendly and inviting. I don’t think it’s possible to order a bad drink there and the service is fast and friendly.

I absolutely love this coffee shop. Their almond croissants are incredible (they will even heat it up for you if you ask). I could wake up and drink a honey bear every single day. They make their own delicious honey vanilla syrup that I would buy by the jar! I have also tried a breakfast sandwich from there and the bacon was crispy and delicious and it was a good size. The staff is very patient and friendly.

Cold coffee. Staff said it was closing time.. I guess let your customer know you arent serving any more coffee if you arent gonna make a fresh batch. Honestly I dont even care for a fresh cup of coffee, but it gotta be hot. Microwave it if you have to..

Review №90

Dont bother trying to call in an order for pickup, they dont put your order in until you get there and pay so it will not save you any time. They have 5 star breakfast sandwiches and coffee/tea, but I gave them 4 because they are so incredibly slow. I wouldnt come here unless you have an hour to spare. Its not totally their fault, its just that they are always completely packed and they cant keep it with it that well. If you get something other than a regular coffee or tea that they can hand you as you pay, you might sometimes think they forgot about your order because it takes so long.

I come here during the winter months, its nice to get a warm cup of coffee. So cute inside, very cozy too. Younger college student atmosphere, places to charge your laptops etc. I usually get the house coffee. Its inexpensive and pretty good. I spend about 45 minutes at Atomic Coffee, catching up on old emails on my phone and surfing the web. Open till midnight on Saturday, I am a night owl so I like that I can come here late. Great place to people watch and there is plenty of parking out front on the street or in a lot along side of it. Will be coming back every winter!

Nice place, but should not be called a coffee shop. $5 for a fancy single origin pourover that still just tastes like a crappy cup of coffee. The person who made it never drinks coffee, so they dont even no what it tastes like. they obviously dont train their baristas here. what a waste of a beautiful space.get a cup of tea or a coffee drink with a ton of sugar and milk if you like that sort of thing.go to red hook or chazzano in ferndale. wish there was a decent spot in royal oak.

Very smooth environment and lots of seating choices. The menu is pretty simple but the results are very delicious and aesthetically pleasing. There are so many different types of people that come by you can actually feel pretty comfortable starting a new conversation with someone you never met before.
