It's the kind of spot where you can easily spend a couple of hours with friends I ordered the Spanish Oat latte, and it was excellent--smooth, rich, and perfectly sweet. Definitely one of the better Spanish lattes I've had. The staff was friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall experience. If you're looking for a unique coffee shop with great drinks and a fun vibe, I highly recommend checking this place out!

It's been awhile since I last visited. Tried my go-to again. I'm not a huge fan of the oat milk…read morethey use (so I'll pass on the regular iced matcha latte) but the signature "Soulmate Matcha" is a real hit. If you're a fan of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, you'll really like this drink (haha). I will say, the matcha here isn't as strong as something like "Stereoscope, Seesaw or Eclado" but still good nonetheless. (Tip: I typically ask for less sweetness but it's not as good as normal. So keep in mind it might be too sweet for your liking if you prefer matcha on a bitter side). I also tried their gluten free chocolate chip banana bread - very good! (Not pictured)

Staff were laughing and music was good. I ordered a biscoff latte and some bread and all of it was amazing. David was very helpful and even gave me one of his favorite breads to try. The two girls who made my drink did an amazing job and I loved the little 4th of July print they did for me. Will be coming back again.

Arrived on a Friday evening and it was a full house. It's casual but still beautiful aesthetic, and…read morenice display of desserts and backlit marble countertops. You order inside and the servers will bring your order to your table. There is indoor as well as outdoor seating. Love that this place is dog friendly as well. Rami was super helpful and friendly, going over some of the popular dessert and drink options. Since I came in the evening, a few of the desserts were already gone. 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.

And I believe…read morethey change out which pastries to sell so its always a nice surprise to try something new while knowing its going to be good. The double matcha cold foam is perfect. The Honey Americano with Salted Cream is perfect. There is a parking lot for the cafe and I've never had problems with parking. There's inside and outside seating. Tables are big enough for my laptop and my drinks. Service has always been consistently good. One time, I left my phone on the table and was driving off in my car, when one of the workers ran out of the cafe and waved me down to return my phone. Love this place.

The place was buzzing, but since our order was to-go, we were in and out without much of a wait. Big shoutout to Aron for being friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. Customer service like that deserves an extra sprinkle of matcha powder!!! Thank you very matcha!! Then came the first sip. Boom!!!! That ceremonial-grade matcha delivered exactly what it should: bold, earthy, nutty, and gloriously green. No weak, sad matcha pretending to be something it's not. This was the real deal!!! Overall, a great experience and definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to whenever I'm in the area. Finding legit ceremonial-grade matcha isn't always easy, but 8 Symphony Coffee understood the assignment.

I visited 8th Symphony Coffee today as part of my mission to find the best sugar‑free latte while…read morecutting out sugary drinks from my diet. I placed a mobile order, and the process was smooth I received text updates when my order was confirmed and again when it was ready for pickup. The sugar‑free latte was impressive, definitely an 8/10. It was delicious with just a slight aftertaste, which is pretty common for sugar‑free drinks. I've had a few from other spots without that aftertaste, but overall this one was still very enjoyable. My husband ordered his usual hot drip coffee, which we always do when trying new locations so we can compare both iced and hot options. We're still searching for a place that truly satisfies his drip‑coffee cravings this one wasn't quite the winner for him. The staff was friendly, and the café has a good amount of seating, though most tables were taken during our visit. Very quiet and pleasant. Parking was also completely full, so be prepared for a busy lot if you stop by during peak hours.

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

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

The menu has a ton of options, and I'd say there's truly something for everyone. I got to try the Banana Matcha, and my goodness it was phenomenal. They use real banana, the flavor tasted fresh and natural, with no artificial syrups or overly sweet aftertaste. I also ordered the Chestnut Coffee, and wow. The espresso was bold and flavorful while still maintaining a perfect balance of sweetness. The foam on top deserves its own shoutout! thick, creamy, rich, and incredibly satisfying with every sip. The barista (possibly the owner?) was incredibly kind and welcoming. You could tell he genuinely cared about both the quality and presentation of the drinks. Not only are they Instagram worthy, but they're delicious too a combination that's harder to find than you'd think. The interior is adorable, with comfortable seating areas and fun touches throughout. I loved spotting the little decorations around the shop, Pokémon and one piece. I came on a Thursday afternoon and stayed from about 3:00 to 7:30 PM studying, and it was the perfect environment to get work done while enjoying great coffee. I'll definitely be back and can't wait to work my way through more of the menu.
