I've been going to the Illinois atomic for a while now and have had issues with consistency of the coffee drinks. Today I put a order in had the person take the order was very polite she asked someone to please make a blended drink. I watched as the other person visually eye roll as she proceeded to go over and make the drink wrong and when I brought it to her attention didn't seem as if anything was a issue. I've decided that I will no longer be going to atomic as the service is both rude and unprofessional. If you need a order made where the only effort required is opening a can and pouring it into a cup your good otherwise expect a hit or miss on having a blended drink made to the menus core ingredients. I would like to state this hasn't been a isolated incident with the drinks having been wrong on ingredients and do understand that people do have days with their own issues going on.

It's like the baristas are caffeinated wizards, serving up cup after cup of pure java magic. The lattes? Smoother than a R&B love song. The espressos? Stronger than my grandma's church perfume. But listen up, here's the real tea, or should I say, coffee. The place is so popular, the line can sometimes snake around like it’s a crowd leavin a TSwift concert. So you best bring some chat or a dope playlist to keep you company while you wait. Them college kids love this joint. Roll up in here during finals, and it’s like a scene from "The Walking Dead", with all those caffeine-starved...
