After more than nine months of construction, The Atom Bistro and Coffee Bar in Glide is ready to open in its new location across from Glide High School. The soft opening is scheduled to begin Saturday morning, June 22nd, at 8 AM. Owner Jody Brown mentioned that they received their permit this afternoon at 2:30 PM and plan to work late into the night to ensure they can open in the morning. There are lots of exciting new features at the new location including: - A drive-thru for coffee and drinks as well as online pickup/to go orders - 2-3x the seating capacity as their old location. There is lots more indoor seating and lot's more outdoor seating, as well as a large covered patio that provides shelter from the rain and sun. - Large indoor gas fireplace - Custom designed kitchen that is 3x the size of the previous kitchen. State of the art venting hood and overall design to help with efficiency. - Large 60 qt mixer which will help produce lots more baked goods. - Big walk-in cooler and walk-in freezer to help store more goods on site. - Beer and cider on tap as well as soda. The Atom will still have its full coffee bar, smoothies and food menu. Once their hours are extended beginning July 1st, they will be adding a dinner menu as well. One of the biggest things owner Jody Brown is excited about is the efficiency of the newly designed kitchen, and the impact it will have on her employees. "We want happy employees, and there is a much better flow in the new setup. The employees are really excited." Brown said. "We're excited to have more room to serve families. We're excited about the drive-thru. Basically, we were finally able to address all of the issues we identified over the years at our old location." Brown continued. Brown said the building process was a massive effort, and she and her husband Jeff Brown ended up doing a lot of the finish work themselves. They are excited about opening, and are happy they chose to build in Glide. "We're really excited to be able to do this for the community. I really wanted to be located in Glide." Brown said.
