Another coffee shop!? I went from complaining that Downey had no coffee shops from having too many…read more Some claiming they are specialty coffee shops like this one. Yeah I guess it's a specialty coffee shop. This establishment is on the corner of fifth Street and Paramount Boulevard. It's inside a Medical plaza on the first floor. Parking is a little tight but managed to find a spot. I didn't have high expectations since I didn't see my usual espresso machine or a cortado on the menu. I ordered my usual hot oat milk latte no flavoring. And I was pleasantly surprised, the coffee beans didn't taste burnt, and the temperature of the coffee was just right. Of course I wanted to try a delicious pastries, but I can't have sugar for breakfast. Maybe some other time that cinnamon roll will make it in my pansa. Everyone here was really nice I will come back. Atom one of the baristas had a domo T-shirt you would have liked it.

I saw a TikTok about this cafe, and I was so excited to try it!…read more I got two Vanilla Lattes (Iced), one Matcha Latte (Iced) with Cream Cheese Cold Foam, one Matcha Latte (Iced) with Regular Cold Foam, and one Strawberry Matcha Latte. All of the drinks came with little breadsticks which I thought was so good dipping into the cold foams! The Matcha Latte (Iced) with Cream Cheese Cold Foam was delicious! The Cream Cheese Cold Foam isn't super overpowering, but you can taste it in your drink, and it tastes great. I've never seen it offered at other cafes, but I liked it! The Strawberry Matcha Latte had strawberry puree and strawberry bits in it so you had to drink it with a boba straw. The drink was good! The Matcha Latte (Iced) with Regular Cold Foam tasted great as well. It almost tasted like a Matcha KitKat so it was pretty good. The cafe itself was empty when I came in, but the cafe quickly filled up with big groups. There's plenty of seating and tables, and all the seats are padded and comfortable. I could see this cafe being a fun study spot. There's also some board games and manga if you come with a big group. Parking is a bit chaotic because the parking lot is all bumpy, but parking isn't hard to find in the plaza. The employee was very kind and helpful. We didn't know there was coffee on the menu until he pointed us to where it was. He made the drinks very quickly, and he was very informative about the drinks. I would come here again! There's so many drinks on the menu that I would love to try, and I love trying out a new study spot!

We had a wonderful visit to YOLO Cafe for Father's Day…read more It's a cozy lil' spot in a small plaza. They have comic books and games, which makes it great for working or just hanging out. Just so you know, there is no restroom available. We shared a few drinks, and my fav' was the strawberry matcha! The banana matcha was good too, but the strawberry one really stood out. The coconut matcha was a bit plain for my taste. The lemonade was very sour, but in a good way! All the croffles were tasty, or as my 9-year-old says, "bussin"! Briscoff croffle though! The staff was really friendly, which made our visit even better. My son was excited to get some free cards for his collection, including a Monkey D. Luffy card! That made his day special. It was such a fun moment! Def' coming back. This time with thy matcha queen connoisseur. Lol

Ok, I don't know anything about coffee. Only thing I know about coffee is, espresso martinis are…read moredelicious, lol. 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

So when I was planning my daughter's 15 años party I thought it would be great to offer complete coffee service. And mind you it is gourmet coffee service. Working with Fabian was easy. The pricing was fair and transparent. They even named a coffee drink after my daughter and the coffee cart after her! I even requested that they serve affogato and they obliged! They hot or iced coffee and tea drinks. They offer all alternative milk options too. The most impressive thing to watch was his traditional preparation of matcha. All to say the coffee cart was a hit and the line was longer than open bar line!!! And we had great drink options too. It is a unique and special touch. I didn't think it would be as wildly popular at the party as it was. Guests of all ages loved it.

First attempt he poured the milk into the cup then added some cooled off brewed coffee into the cup. I immediately knew it was going to taste like junk. So I taste it and tell him no this isn't how I want it. I tell him I want the espresso hot over the cold milk. He goes oh yes yes I like it like that too and then he makes the espresso from old coffee grounds that were LEFT IN The espresso pod!! Let me tell you that this tasted like crap and I was so annoyed at this place even tho I wanted to help this old man. But he was skipping corners to save a buck and I want all the students to know don't waste your dollars on this place.

Frescas con creama cheesecake - Amazing. Super creamy and fluffy, it was like a moist cheesecake somehow. Really yummy and indulgent. Banana pudding tres leches - loved the banana pudding flavor in here but the cake was too dense for our taste. Still good! Just very heavy and dense. Maybe more milk to break it up would have been good I dont know but either way good flavor and morning wrong with it. Matcha strawberry - really good flavor just hoped to be sweeter. Next time I would order it more sweet since I know they can adjust sweetness levels Matcha banana - really good flavor just hoped to be sweeter. Next time I would order it more sweet since I know they can adjust sweetness levels Would definitely go back! Service was excellent and the workers said they changed flavors daily which is super fun.
