I heard that Bum Coffee had opened a new location in Downey, so I decided to check it out…read more I ordered an iced Americano and a Matcha Latte. The coffee had a bright, fruit-forward profile that reflects today's specialty coffee trends. It was clean, expressive, and you could immediately tell that they put a lot of care into their coffee program. I enjoyed it enough that I'd definitely come back to try more of their coffee menu. The Matcha Latte was equally enjoyable. It had a silky, creamy texture with a smooth, well-balanced flavor that wasn't overly sweet. If you're in the Downey area, this is definitely a coffee shop I'd recommend visiting. Whether you're into specialty coffee or matcha, I think it's well worth checking out.

I don't live in Downey but I know it doesn't have much of a coffee scene. But it is nice for this…read morerare specialty coffee shop to pop up in the recent months. The shop has a clean, semi aesthetically pleasing that's simple without feeling sterile. It's a smaller space, but it feels welcoming and has a nice neighborhood vibe that makes you want to stay for a while. The staff were friendly from the moment I walked in, and you can tell they genuinely care about the experience. I ordered vanilla latte that uses Madagascar vanilla and it was excellent. If you're someone who enjoys specialty coffee but not too crafty or ambitious, then this place is a spot.

Loved their color choice of black and touches of brown with their logo front and center. The owner Stephanie was super welcoming, sweet, and detailed about the drinks she was serving. I had a caramel latte with the most tasting foam on top. The best part was that it wasn't overbearing sweet like the ones you get at Starbucks. My boyfriend had the biscoff latte and he absolutely loved it. He usually doesn't have drinks like this but he was definitely a fan. I can't wait to follow this coffee cart. Especially because it's faith based.

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

I've ordered hot coffee and iced coffee but this last visit I tried their cookie butter latte and it was delicious. It wasn't too sweet and they had a generous amount of cookie crumble on top. I also feel that they were generous with the coffee. Some places put a lot of ice and you take a couple sips and it's done. This wasn't the case. Thank you. The cashier was friendly as well, she took the time to explain their hours. We ordered our drinks and they were ready in a few minutes. I would definitely come back and I'd like to try another specialty drink. I really like that they are located inside SteelCraft and you can take your drink and baked goods inside to sit down and enjoy music, movies, or just conversation.

The strawberry matcha had a sweet vibrant strawberry jam at the bottom balanced by the earthy milky matcha topped with a lightly sweet vanilla whipped cream like foam. The smorecito latte was like the most epic chocolate milk. Perfectly sweet, chocolatey, with those warm graham cracker spices lightly coming in and toasty marshmallow meringue on top. MNM. Wasn't getting much ube flave from the ube cookie but it was decently buttery and crumbly. The biscoff cheesecake cup tho- creamy, thick, luscious, with plenty of those warm spiced biscoffy flaves. Pure deliciousity. The Dubai brownie was also really good, fudgey, thick, and chocolatey just how I like my brownies and was topped with nutty crunchy pistachio kataifi. Overall this place is pretty good. Strawberry matcha $7.50 Smorecito latte $7.50 Ube cookie $5 Biscoff cheesecake cup $5 Dubai brownie $7
