Nice little coffee shop. Lost of options from drinks to food. The white chocolate mocha and the vanilla latte were sooo good! The ham and cheese was great! Loaded with ham and I mean loaded. Not like the pre-made ones with one little slice of ham. Awesome service! Super friendly staff and my new favorite coffee shop on this side of town.

Neat coffee shop with real cafe vibes, and sense of community! Out door seating with folks and their pups. Indoor was nice..lighting and vibe of the place feels how most cafes should. Small and cozy. Hearing the staff greet the regulars. Great vibes here. I ordered white thunder latte, and oat milk macchiato. Both were good. Flavors did have a syrup taste, which was sweet and artificial. Although the notes is coffee I got were nice. Lot of the folks around me had food, and everything looked, and smell delicious. Would really like back and try the food.

I like the location of this cafe in Downey. Its across a dine in cinema and near the offices, bars, restaurants and police station. They serve freshly made sandwiches in croissants bagel or panini. Coffee is great too!

Delicious, delicious, delicious!! This cozy coffee shop is a gem. The chicken pesto panini is incredible, with juicy chicken and a just-right pesto! It took a while to come out so if you’re on a short lunch break you might want to wait til after. The vanilla late was amazing too! Small shops have the best coffee. Lunch came out to around $15 for a fancy drink and sandwich which is about what I expected. Overall, this was WORTH IT!
