Merry & Bright

From competitive cycling circuits to coffee craftsmanship, brothers Andrew and John Mahoney discovered their true calling in 1996 when they traded their racing wheels for coffee beans, establishing Atomic Cafe in Beverly after recognizing that exceptional coffee was virtually nonexistent in their region. Now guided by the next generation—brothers Spencer and Logan Mahoney—this family enterprise has evolved into a precision-driven operation that embodies their founding mission to "spread positive energy" through coffee as a catalyst for community, relationships, and adventures. Their roasting philosophy operates on the principle that coffee should be both scientifically rigorous and emotionally resonant, utilizing their Diedrich CR-70 roaster for small-batch precision while maintaining two Q Graders on staff to ensure every bean meets their exacting standards for specialty-grade excellence.
