    Honey, coffee with oat milk
    Lucy T.

    I got a cinnamon oat milk latte, and it was mouth watering! I got the coffee at the event that was happening at the Downey Lakewood Mall. The service was fast and the latte hit the spot! I can't wait to go to the location and enjoy the scenery.

    I had a business event nearby and I wanted to drive to the area before traffic, so I decided to come to Bums Coffee to be productive and avoid traffic. At the time of my visit they must be pretty new because there was no signage and I circled the plaza a few times looking for them. There is ample parking. I came in at opening and I was impressed by how quickly staff worked through the line and the orders. I had the Matcha Latte ($7) and an Everything Croissant ($5.50). I was sad they did not have a toaster for the pastries. I recommend the business attains a toaster oven if they plan on serving pastries. The cold everything croissant was not as good as it could be at room temperature. It was good I came early because I was able to get a good table. They have a lot of seating but it was filled quickly. It was interesting how there was so many people hanging around on a weekday morning. Also while I was waiting for my drink, I went to the bathroom to check on my make up... No mirror! Dang! I guess they don't want people taking up bathroom time checking themselves out. The matcha latte was good. As good as other coffee shops I typically go to. I wouldn't mind coming back if I am in the area for another business event.

    Great customer service. The vibe inside is chill. WiFi, clean interior, solid drinks, great music selection playing in the background. I wish this place was closer to where I live. I would say the only knock I'd give them is that they don't advertise their prices on their menu. Their charges for what we ordered came out to be $6.50 foot a mocha latte and $7 foot a strawberry matcha. Average pricing in today's coffee shops. I'm not a big matcha fan, but the strawberry matcha was actually very tasty. It would be something I would actually order next time.

    I ordered the Maple Cinnamon specialty latte. I definitely got a lot of cinnamon but don't feel I tasted the maple as much. Regardless the drink was just the mid-day pick me up I needed. Thy were incredibly fast. I ordered and as soon as I began walking away they were already calling my name to the counter. The menu is small but they offer plenty of choices. They have a few tables you can sip your coffee and have a couple benches in front of the cash register to wait for your drink. Food: N/a Service: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Overall I would stop by again if I found myself in the area!

    "Finally, good coffee in Downey" - the person who recommended this place Yes, the coffee here is quality. The person taking our order and everyone working here was chill and friendly. The spade inside is spacious with a good amount of seating as well. Would come here again for sure.

    I'm glad I made the drive here to try this new coffee shop! The owners were cool & chill, and you instantly feel welcomed upon walking in. I got their Spanish latte, and they asked what I thought of it. It was a bit on the milkier side but they adjusted the taste by giving me another shot of espresso. You can tell they really care about the quality and taste of their drinks and truly take into account what the people want. Overall, the space was nice and open, and their music taste was on point. I hope to be back soon!

    Cold brew with almond milk Strawberry matcha tonic
    Halley K.

    Went around 9:30 and the line was out the door but they were extremely efficient! Staff were really friendly and all seemed to have good vibes for how busy they were. We ordered a cold brew with almond milk and the strawberry matcha tonic. Both were on the pricier side for LA (which they don't have prices on their menus) but very good! I'll definitely be back to try more of their specialty and seasonal drinks.

    I have been coming to Bums Coffee consistently over the past two months, and it has become one of my regular spots. I have basically made it my unofficial mission to work through a large portion of the menu. That has included hot and iced plain lattes, vanilla and honey lattes, americanos, Spanish lattes, iced maple cinnamon, hot maple cinnamon, and their mocha, along with one of their smaller latte options. At this point it feels less like ordering coffee and more like a caffeine fueled tour of the menu with no clear end date. Across the board, everything has been consistently excellent, balanced, smooth, and clearly made with attention to detail. What stands out just as much as the drinks is the consistency. No matter what I order or when I go in, the quality does not vary. The staff also adds a lot to the experience. They are consistently kind, welcoming, and easygoing, which sets the tone for the whole space and makes it feel genuinely comfortable rather than transactional. One of the clearest examples of the atmosphere is that my daughter and I have played chess here. It is the kind of place where you can slow down, sit for a while, and actually enjoy being there without feeling rushed or out of place. That experience really captures the energy of the coffee shop more than anything else. Overall, it is a coffee shop that gets the fundamentals right and has just enough personality to make it easy to keep coming back.

    Very cute, small coffee shop. Honey oat latte & matcha latte were okay. Didn't think it was worth the price. Might try again another time, a different drink maybe it's better. Staff was kind & helpful.

    Spanish latte
    Brandon L.

    Downey is starved for local coffee spots that aren't chains so I was super stoked when I found out this place had opened and was eager to give them a try. That was about a month ago and I've already been here several times so needless to say they won me over quickly! I've been ordering the Spanish latte which is delicious, but most recently decided to try the maple cinnamon latte and it is also very good. If I had to give some notes I will admit seeing more decor in the space would be very welcome, but given the short length of time they've been open it's not a big deal. Plus they've been friendly every visit so they deliver where it counts and I'll gladly continue coming back. Seating is also fairly plentiful if you want to enjoy your drink there.

    vanilla matcha
    DJ A.

    i got the vanilla matcha was a 9/10 super good, both sweet and strong! I love the taste of their matcha doesn't taste bitter at all. The service is super friendly, everyone there is extremely nice. The cafe was cute and well kept! Definitely recommend to someone in the area

    Bum's Coffee is a new specialty coffee shop in Downey. With classic and specialty drinks, they have something for most people. Plenty of seating and good lighting. Music is usually playing at a good volume (comfortable for work). Baristas are friendly and highly skilled at coffee. Note: I prefer my lattes in a 12oz cup rather than 16oz but other than that, it's a great cup of coffee!

    hojicha and matcha
    cat

    drinks: hojicha latte : 10/10 tasted exactly how i wanted it to matcha latte : 10/10 color good, taste good (even w whole milk) umami perf service : employees super nice good vibes ambiance : good vibes from customers and employees vibes here was just people who want to try good coffee parking: a lot is pretty packed honestly you'll find it one way or another price: average - each drink is like 6 or 7 bucks only thing that threw me off that the menu says some drinks include oat milk but they don't ? i'm confused

The earlier you come, the more dessert options you'll have. They also have all day breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu which I did not try, but everything looked super tasty. I got a few desserts and a matcha strawberry foam latte (they use ceremonial grade matcha) and the biscoff latte. Loved that both weren't overly sweet and the biscoff latte had a rich coffee taste. My favorite dessert by far was the banana mousse. By the time we left, the line was out the door. Even though it was packed, the servers are super friendly and take the time to make sure you're enjoying yourself. Definitely a must try place if you're in Downey. No need to go to LA to try those over hyped dessert places. One Twelve Cafe does it just as good, if not better and they have many more tasty options to choose from.

I was in the area and I've never had a cute coffee with the latte art (so many of my friends are going to roast me for this) When I pulled up -nice private parking -a staff member was outside painting on the windows with the cutest window art. The girl had talent! This place has also given back. They helped with the LA fires last year. So bonus points for places who give back. (They gave back to the Pasadena humane society) There was a pretty big line and it was pretty loud in here, but it went by very fast. My friend grabbed a table while I placed the order. -they do have a good amount of seating. The place is pretty small though. So we sat for a minute after our drinks came out and then decided to take it to go -they have latte art that changes every month. So I like they have some rotating options. It was my turn and I ordered two sugar free mocha iced coffees. One with regular foam, And mine had strawberry foam. When I told Matthew at the counter it was really important the one drink be as sugar free as possible due to my friend being diabetic, he warned us there was sugar in the foam, but he would go as light as possible. So I appreciate him warning us and taking it serious. I picked the new hello kitty art of the month (hello kitty in a bathing suit with waves and dolphins) And my friend picked from the new monthly latte art as well, and got the Kirby character Even though it was busy, it took probably 2 minutes for our drinks to be made Matthew was absolutely great. His energy, he had a smile on his face, was knowledgeable about the menu, Matthew was everything you'd want in a staff member. Just like any coffee place, you pay and give them a name for your order, and then they call your name and you pick up your coffee at the counter. These drinks hit the spot!!! It was very trendy. They had Sabrina carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo specials and they even had a Lana Del Rey latte (cinnamon girl, named after her song) only thing that bummed me out They had a case with delicious pastries. But since I came here later in the day, they only had a couple stragglers left behind -they open at 7 am, for everyone needing their morning coffee -vegan options -free WiFi -woman owned -LGBTQ owned -they give back to the community

My favorite was the chicken salad. I used their green salsa and it was delicious. The tamales was good. Today I learned I don't really like the flavor of banana leaf that gets absorbed into the tamal. Also, it was primarily made of rice. It had a piece of bell pepper, a little chicken and I think a plum. Aside from the banana leaf I liked the tamale. The latte was delicious. Nice coffee flavor and sweetened perfectly. Definite recommend and I will for sure be back.

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.

I swear the baristas behind the counter here are some of the nicest workers I've encountered, so I'm confused as to why it's always someone in management who breaks that streak? I'm not even that delicate to where every unpleasant interaction deserves a review, I just actually can't believe these things until I write them down. I was waiting for my drink (small iced latte, exxtra ice in a large cup) when I heard my name called and a barista was waiting for me to tell me that I had to pay for the extra milk to fill the large cup. I explained that I wanted no extra milk and that I expected a cup full of ice, to which she argued with me in every possible direction, even insinuating that she was going to have to "re-train" the barista who rang me up. I asked her if she would feel satisfied with me paying for the "extra" milk as long as the cup isn't filled to the top and she just goes "Oh if you don't want extra milk then you don't have to pay for it." and from there I just agreed with everything she said. I was too dizzy to stand my own ground at that point. Completely unnecessary. Prime example of someone riding a power trip.
