About Atomic Cafe & Catering
Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
To be honest I wasn’t sure what to expect with Atomic being in an office complex. I have to say this place looks like an oasis among the offices when you pull up. Plenty of parking and a nice setup when you go inside. Seating is available outside or inside. On to the food. I loved the breakfast burrito. Not greasy like other places, the pico de gallo was very fresh and specifically prepared to not make the burrito soggy. One of the best breakfast burritos I’ve ever had! We also had sausage dumplings that were awesome. The service was excellent and the prices were reasonable. Highly recommend checking out Atomic Cafe, I plan to make it a regular stop.
The paninis here are AMAZING!!!! I bought a panini and a Vietnamese coffee to pick up lunch before I headed back to my next class and it was SO GOOD!!!! The panini was absolutely delicious and had lots of spinach which I thought was amazing since usually I find many places not putting enough vegetables in their stuff but it was FULL of it on my panini here!!!! Cooked to perfection and the perfect filling lunch! I also got the Vietnamese coffee which was super good, it was the perfect amount of sweet, was not overwhelming but just right. The worker lady’s were very sweet too and gave me recommendations and welcomed me into the shop! It was a homey little shop, it’s a bit tucked into an office building but it still had a homey touch to it with all the plants and little tables. 10/10 recommend getting a panini if you ever come here!
Food is amazing from their Paninis to their Grilled Cheese with a variety of choices for your liking of meat. The staff are all warm hearted and super friendly. My personal favorite is the Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Turkey. Made to order with an amazing cheese pull. It even comes with an incredible sauce that gives a great balance to the meal.
My family happened to step in the Atomic Cafe in Costa Mesa this lunchtime the day after this 2024 Christmas. It is a cosy little place but offers a variety of drinks (smoothies), sandwiches and Asian cuisine also — like a full- fletched small restaurant in itself. We had tuna sandwich in baguette, pate chaud, egg rolls, and the Italian-style carved Turkey Panini sandwich with basil pasto sauce — all so delicious and worth their prices. The excellent service at Atomic Cafe must be noted and recommended too. Thanks to the Atomic Cafe owners. We shall return !
Honestly AMAZING! I was skeptical at first because it was in an office space but MAN that breakfast burrito was soooooo good! Exactly what I wanted. Light, good amount of meat and cheese and not greasy. I got a Vietnamese coffee to go with it and it was also delicious! I will be coming back :)
