He just felt he was drinking straight horchata and no coffee and said it was a little too sweet. I got the vanilla iced latte with oat-milk, cold foam, and an extra shot and I gave it a 3/10. It was wayy too watery. Cold foam was good but the drink just tasted very watered down even with the extra shot I added. One a positive note, I would say the baristas were very nice and it was quick!

I wouldn't recommend adding syrup or cold foam either because it doesn't improve it at all. It honestly tasted like it was coming from a machine rather than being properly whisked, which is kind of the bare minimum for a good matcha. The coffee itself is also very basic nothing special or worth going out of your way for. Overall, not a spot I'd come back to.

To be honest the parking is probably the least fortunate aspect of this cafe ambiance: study vibes all the way, nice quiet, good amount of seats, they have outlets, i believe they have wifi as well fun features: the ice is coffee too!

I ordered an iced caramel latte, and it absolutely did not disappoint. The espresso was rich and flavorful, while the caramel added just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the drink. I also loved that they use coffee ice cubes, it kept the latte from getting watered down, and honestly, I thought it tasted even better as it sat. The staff was friendly, and our drinks came out pretty quickly, which I appreciated. The only downside was the atmosphere. It's a very small shop with seating for maybe 20 people inside, plus 4 small two-person tables outside (without any shade). When we visited, almost everyone else was working on laptops, so it didn't feel like the best place to sit and chat. The music was also fairly loud and mostly K-pop, which didn't really match the coffee shops aesthetic and made conversation a little more difficult. Parking was probably my biggest complaint. There are only four dedicated parking spots, and the surrounding residential street parking was completely packed. I ended up parking in the chicken restaurant's lot across the street. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the coffee, it was genuinely one of the better iced caramel lattes I've had. If you're looking to grab a quality drink to go, I'd highly recommend it. Just be prepared for limited seating and a challenging parking situation.

This establishment is, by no means, a hidden gem. Yes the muffins are good, the croissants as well (even though its super small), and the iced coffees to, but the thing that I don't understand, are the prices! I'm not one of those douchebags that love chains like starbucks or coffee bean (unless the person making my drink does it well), but when you compare things like the croissants and sizes (of the drinks), the chains do have the upper hand. This place is by no means, a bad place, but if your looking to be charged way to much tea, then by all means come here. I'm all for bringing back business to main street, and stripping corporations of there monopolies and what not, but hey, I'm an American on a budget, and Main Street (figure of speech, its actually on 3rd Street) is just too darn expensive for me, so I guess the chains win out again. Good customer service, the older asian couple who own it are really nice to me and my little family, and there always nice (theother workers). Don't go on Friday or Saturday nights because it'll be full of idiot teenagers and BAD PARENTS who are pushing along a stroller with a two month old, who just came out of the theater! Needless to say, avoid teenager nights and the nights when the cholo and gangbanger people come up from they're sh.t hole cities around Downey. Downey is really going down the crapper, used to be nicer. read more

I used to come here every once in a while during my lunch break since I work nearby, but I always felt like the manager had a really negative attitude. You can kind of tell the employees feel uncomfortable around her, and I've even come in during the afternoons before and overheard employees talking badly about her, which says a lot about the work environment. Today really crossed the line though. I walked in and asked for the restroom code, and she told me I had to buy something first. I said I would, but that I really needed to go. She let me use it, but the restroom was honestly disgusting--like a gas station restroom. It was dirty and clearly not being maintained. I used it as quickly as I could and let her know there was a mess so someone could take care of it. Instead, she went to check and then blamed me for it. She said I made the mess, told me I was banned from the store, and even said I had to clean it. I was honestly shocked and just left. I would not recommend this place. The service is uncomfortable, and even the coffee is inconsistent. read more

I'm a regular here and am surprised at how far the lengths people like Paige go to in order to entertain themselves. The bathroom has never looked like her picture and the owners constantly check the bathrooms every hour or so to make sure it's clean. This cafe is an intimate establishment and the owners here are kind and show up to work every day. All of the workers here are very friendly and attentive when asked about their personal recommendations. The food is made to order and albeit it does take some time to get it during rushes. But I'll happily wait! The chipotle chicken panini and turkey provolone are my absolute favorites. I also love the Chai from here, it is so creamy and the horchata latte with espresso is a must try for my fellow sweet coffee lovers! read more

This place used to be a cool place to hang out. But now the owner has something against me and a friend because we sit here for two hours, but we are constantly buying things, and using the wifi. I dont care much for this place anymore. I even go to their other establishment across the street which their son used to run until he left for college. He enjoyed having my friend and i there. He knew how to run a business and keep his customers happy. He will be back in four months to take over his business again and i cant wait. Think twice before sitting in here with a laptop and drinking coffee because in Joe's words, "i dont care if you buy anything, i dont want you here very long." read more

Advertising that you're open until 4:00 without disclosing that the kitchen stops serving at 2:00 sets customers up for an unnecessary and frustrating experience. I completely understand having separate kitchen and café hours. What I don't understand is failing to communicate them. A simple update to the website and a sign at the café would prevent this entirely.
