    Decent coffee. Nothing special.

    Decaf long mac. Not bad. A bit more milk than other cafes, but that works well for this blend as it is otherwise a bit bitter.

    I loved this place in just about every way. The light and open atmosphere, the helpful staff and of course - the excellent coffee. My cappuccino was just about perfect. I highly recommend this cafe.

    This cafe was a disappointment. Staff seemed to not want to be there, and service was rather slow. The Single origin was from Cuba, and had a slightly caustic flavour. The house blend as a latte was ok, but nothing worth going back for.

    This joint was da bomb 10 years ago...sadly it has failed to keep up with the times and is no longer one of the best coffees in town. Single origin offerings seem to be a tired rotation of four or five lacklustre beans. Flat whites are too often weak with poorly textured milk. Staff don't appear to... Read more

    I had a single bean origin latte from Honduras and it was excellent. The let down would be average service and hollow atmosphere. Otherwise I would gladly have another coffee.

    Was hanging around Brunswick today and was drawn into Atomica by the off-white La Marzocco on the counter and the memory of a nice bag of Atomica beans I had a year or two back. My doppio was very well presented and had a nice body but was a little too tipped toward the citrus for my taste. A... Read more

    The service was very good, the decor of the place was quite nice and the coffee was a good standard cup of coffee for the area

    I have been here a few times now and this cafe really makes amazing coffee. The flat white I had was full bodied with a sweet aftertaste. The milk was silky smooth and a nice bit of latte art to boot. Dont expect rapid turnaround times with your coffee but its worth the wait. I also had one of... Read more

    Great food and great service. Coffee I found was average.

    When I was last in Melbourne this was a great place to start the cold mornings. With a good coffee and savory muffin, it was a simple answer to the start of the day.

    Atomica has always been our final destination in Melbourne before heading to the airport to go back to NSW, and always a much anticipated highlight.

    This MO is likely to be rethought after this mornings visit. We found a seat under a speaker that was silent when we sat down, but... Read more

    The coffee isn't too bad, but certainly nothing to rave about. Standards must have dropped since the 9 it got 8 months ago. My "dine in" mug of latte came in a paper cup.

    Given the amazing reviews, it seemed sacreligious not to check out the coffee here for myself.

    The atmosphere was at first overwhelming -- struggling to find a seat in this busy Brunswick St cafe. Once down though, it was surprisingly calm. Three lattes and a few hours later, my view... Read more

    I used to work a few streets from Atomica and I took for granted having such amazing coffee so close. The coffee is always perfect and is worth every cent! Since not being close to this cafe any more I have been finding it hard to find coffee near where I live and work that is as good as Atomica.... Read more

    Smooth and rich although strangely latte was stronger than the flat white. Maybe i'll start ordering lattes more often in this town.

    I wasn't here very long to take it in, but it seemed pretty cool and the coffee was great.

    Yes, the coffee's good. Atomica is a regular for good coffee in fitzbanger. I quite like the BLT bagels too.

    Everyone was raving about how good this coffee was so I gave it a try- got a takeaway long Mac and it burned a layer off the inside of my mouth.. Scorching hot. Didn't taste great either.. It went in the bin.

    Atomica are good now. They used to be crap. Now this is a while ago. Probably 1999? 2000? I went in to get the order for my work place. 3 lattes and a flat white. So they took the order without question. No an unreasonable amount of time passes before they are ready. "Which one is the flat... Read more

    Don't know if I had such a bad experience because today was a public holiday - but I had the worst coffee here today, I took a sip of my takeaway latte and then threw it out - (yes life is too short to drink bad coffee!). Should be more descriptive - I know, but it was just yuck! I tired to venture... Read more
