∙ 15y agoThere's a couple of things you can do.
unfortunately, they all will probably involve cutting the cabinets.
Repost this question with a little more information.
Is this an attic apartment or is the ceiling just out of whack?
Roughly how far out of level is it?

∙ 15y agoIf the ceiling is out of whack left to right, just start at the lowest point and and work across level.
You can add a moulding at the top to cover the gap.
If the ceiling is off front to back, you'll need to cut the flange off the top edge of the back and the sides.
If you look down at the top of the cabinet, you'll see that it's recessed slightly into the cabinet. You can cut off that lip (flange) that runs around the top at the back and sides, but it's going to weaken the structure of the cabinet.
You can get around this by adding "blocking" to the wall.
You'll need to get some strips of 3/4" plywood about 6" wide and screw these securely thru the wallboard and into the studs.
Run one at the top, one down about a foot from the top and one so the bottom edge of the blocking will be a shade above the bottom edge of the cabinet. (so it doesn't show.)
Use 2" #8 screws with trim washers to screw the cabinets to the plywood.
You'll want to pre-drill holes in the back of the cabinets for the screws. Keep them 1/2" to 3/4" inch away from the sides of the cabinet. This will make up structurally for the wood you removed from the top of the cabinet.
Don't tighten the screws too much, just enough to keep the cabinet tight to the wall. Those #8 screws have a lot of grab and you could pull the back right out of the cabinet.
Be sure to screw the cabinets together, it will help spread the load out if one cabinet has more stuff in it then another.

Hang from ceiling adhesive?
You have to know the adhesive AND the ceiling construction really well to do that. I much prefer to find a joist or rafter with a studfinder, then put a hook into the wood to hang anything from a ceiling. - You wouldn't want adhesive failing and dropping something .
