I heard that Bum Coffee had opened a new location in Downey, so I decided to check it out. 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. read more

I don't live in Downey but I know it doesn't have much of a coffee scene. But it is nice for this rare 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. read more

Ok drinks. It took two visits, though, which I think was because of its very strange soft opening. I'm surprised they still don't have signage, despite being open months? Other spots have opened/soft opened nearby, and they do. As for the matcha -- first visit, my drink was grainy, because I don't think they sifted the Rocky's. But my second visit--they definitely did, because the matcha wasn't pilled at the bottom anymore. I got it sweetened with honey, which I prefer over their vanilla or agave. Would be a nice local spot, just hope they improve more. read more

Located in a small plaza, they don't have a sign yet so the location is easy to miss if it's your first time. Once you arrive, just park in the lot and look for the business with a blank overhead sign. You're in the right place! Hours of operation: they're open daily from 7am-5pm. Customer service: staff is friendly, the drinks are spot on. Espresso is dialed perfectly. They use quality matcha (Rocky's matcha) & also sell tins for a great price. Overall, good coffee shop with good pricing. read more

Bums Coffee - Maple cinnamon late & Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Downey, California

I got one of their specialty lattes the maple cinnamon iced latte, with an added espresso shot and oat milk. The espresso had a pleasant taste to the palate with a smooth, slightly nutty body and a pleasantly low, gentle acidity that I love. Perfectly cold and refreshing, topped off with cinnamon. There's plenty of seating inside... the space inside is commodious and airy... Baristas are always welcoming and friendly... such cute coffee shop read more

Unassuming spot in Downey with great customer service, a beautiful indoor space, and even better drinks. They seem to really know their stuff here and I appreciate that when I ordered an espresso tonic, the barista informed me/asked if I was okay with their standard of sweetening it with 10g of honey. Shoutout to their attention to detail! I'll definitely be coming back to try their matcha and hot drinks once it's not 90+ degrees in Los Angeles haha read more

Bums Coffee - Vanilla iced coffee and almond croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Downey, California

First time at Bums and it was a cute cafe. Ambience was nice and spacious. Staff were friendly. And most importantly the matcha was great. I personally prefer my matcha's to not be overly sweet and this was the perfect balanced matcha! This was definitely one of my favorite matcha's I've tried from a new cafe this year. The matcha flavor comes through perfectly with the maple adding just enough sweetness without being over powering. I'll definitely be back read more

Bums Coffee - Iced Matcha latte w/ Oatmilk sweetened with Maple - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Downey, California

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. read more

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. read more

This establishment does not have a sign yet and that definitely is not stopping them from having a lot of customers. Everyone who works here is really nice and genuine. I need this more than ever in my life right now. The coffee is great. I get a hot oat milk latte. It's strong to where the coffee comes through more than the milk just how I like it and the temperature is perfect. I despise when I am served a piping hot coffee, this happens a lot when I go to Tropicana. I wished they were able to warm up croissants. A nice warm chocolate croissant would go well with my coffee, but that's okay. It would probably take up to much time and having my coffee in a timely manner is much more crucial. read more

Bums Coffee - Honey, coffee with oat milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Downey, California

I really wanted to like this place. I came here a couple of times to try out their coffee. Don't get me wrong I tried different lattes and drinks, very good flavors, but the COFFEE IS WEAK. Lattes have good flavors such as the Spanish and vanilla, but that's it, it's all I taste is the syrups. Please make the coffee stronger or allow 1 more espresso shot for the larger lattes at least; this will make it perfect. Like I said I really wanted to love it, but if you're looking for a pick me up coffee, it's not strong enuff. read more

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! read more

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! read more

I got the Spanish Latte and it was super good. I hate when coffee is overly sweet and this drink was not. It was the perfect combo of coffee and sweet. The customer service was really good. Both people working were friendly and welcoming. read more

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. read more

Bums Coffee - Cold brew with almond milk Strawberry matcha tonic - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Downey, California

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

New Coffee @BumsCoffee spot in Downey, Off Firestone blvd. In the same strip mall as Wyman's Liquor. Across from the street from Dirt dog and El polo loco. Today was their first day so no pastries yet. But a decent menu got pretty busy just before I left. Americano was good and the Houjicha Latte was solid. Definitely recommend. Place was clean, could use some art on the walls. Will be coming back to see how evolve, and see what new drinks they will offer. read more

So excited to see a new coffee shop in Downey. We tried the Spanish latte and maple cinnamon latte, which were both delicious. They unfortunately did not have pastries, but hoping they do next time! The baristas and entire staff were very welcoming and friendly. The shop had about 5-6 small tables for people to hangout at. The space itself was very open, airy, and full of beautiful floral arrangements. Overall, great shop and looking forward to returning. read more

Liked the vibe. fast quick service. Bathroom was clean which is a plus. I got the maple cinnamon coffee it was good.

Such a cute little gem in Downey! The coffee shop is so clean, aesthetically pleasing, and has such a warm, welcoming feel. I love cozy coffee shops that make you want to sit, get some work done, and stay awhile--this is definitely one of those places. My espresso tonic was amazing! It's such a simple drink, but not everyone gets it right, and theirs was so good. You can genuinely taste how good the coffee is. I was also there with my toddler lol, and everyone was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and sweet with us, which I really appreciated. Such a great vibe, great coffee, and lovely service. I'll definitely be back! read more

lovely baristas, they take their coffee seriously here and it shows :) love their signature drinks, the only thing is, their environment, they should add more seating and make it a little more comfortable to stay for a while read more

Their service is amazing, drinks are delicious! Even when packed they are quick. Really enjoy coming here.

I tried the maple cinnamon latte and it was amazing! Simple delicious coffee, not too sweet either. I would say to drink it quickly because once the ice melts it is definitely watered down and the drink looses it flavor. The service was kind and quick. In a Friday afternoon I had my drink within a minute. There isn't too much seating inside. There also isn't a sign on the front so you have to look around a little before you find it this spot. read more
