3rd Street Coffee

This is my favorite place! The chicken panini delux is my go to. If I’m there for breakfast it’s the fruit and nut oatmeal. The best thing about this place is the consistency in service and hospitality. Mary and her husband are wonderful, they know their customers very well. Mary’s recipes are one of a kind as she seasons and prepares her chicken and bakes her own cookies. This is a true gem in Downey.

I love this place!!! They get it right every time for me!!! Great customer service!!! The food is impeccable and the coffee is amazing!!! I work down the street so I love going in every morning! To bad I don’t live close or else I would be a weekend regular!!! Keep up the great job!!!

First time here. I ordered a chai latte. I waited for 10 minutes or so. Still no drank. I went to the counter and the girl making the dranks dropped the ball and made excuses about forgetting to make it. But the girl who took my order originally apologized and made my drank quick. Thank you.

The food is good and fresh, the place is comfy but the service is ehh. Not so great. They messed up on my order. Yeah, we all make mistakes, however, I didn’t like the attitude I received after.

Had an order placed by phone, for 7 items for my co-​workers and I, I let the girl who answer take her time and I even had her repeat my order to make sure everything was right since it was a call in. Well that darn chicken chipotle panini never made it to the office, when I called the lady said it wasn’t charged but it was written down just not charged… uumm okaaaay. Thanks for ruining my lunch. DON’T CALL IN FOR AN ORDER.

I love this place! They have delicious boba drinks and paninis! The place is always clean and the ppl are very friendly. I love coming with friends to have girl talk :)

This is probably your best option if you are looking to get coffee in D-​Town. It’s in a small but cozy location in Downtown Downey, and there are plenty of seats inside and out. Good option if you are looking to grab a nibble or drink before/​after a movie, since it is across the street from Krikorian. Free WiFi (obviously…a must in coffee shops!), and plenty of outlets to charge devices.
I ordered the White Thunder blended, and it was really delicious! Also, much cheaper than a similar drink from ‘Bucks. The cute Asian lady who rang me up was very nice, and happily answered my questions about the menu items. Aside from coffee bevvies, they offer a variety of tea, coffee-​free drinks, smoothies, shakes, and even boba. For food, there is a wide selection of breakfast things, paninis, sandwiches, and salad.
Support local businesses and check this place out if you’re in the area! Everyone here is so friendly and the drinks are of high caliber.

Pleasantly surprised! It looks like such a small shop from the outside but their menu and coffee is great! They offer an assortment of drinks and pastries. The service is great! I would definitely come back!

Great place to study/​get work done! Got here around 4:45pm on a Saturday and had plenty of seating options, but it was starting to get pretty full by 7pm. They have tons of outlets (even two full power strips set up) and free wifi, so it was great to be able to stay even once I needed to charge my computer again.
Just got the house coffee, which was nothing special but it was only $ 1.80 and the person working there was nice enough to get me a hazelnut creamer to make up for the fact that they were out of the hazelnut coffee.
Definitely going to be a consistent study spot!

It’s a cute place. Our food is delicious.
Kind of odd that they sale Costco brand muffins though.
I prefer fresh baked. Not sure how long they have been sitting on the shelf. Just saying.

3^rd Street Coffee is more than just a coffee shop — it’s a magic coffee shop, the kind of place you read about in fairy tales: where good prevails often, where beauty is nothing less than ubiquitous, and, finally, where gourmet coffee may be purchased for a pittance.
Come for the prices, but stay for the quality.
Many of the other reviewers do a fine job of describing the wide-​array of delicious food and drink available to 3^rd Street’s patrons, so I will forego adding any further details on this point; though I will say, the EYE-​OPENERS and PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES are positively divine.
To me, what makes 3^rd Street Coffee especially great is the people: the owners, the baristas, and the regulars.
The proprietors are hard-​working and fair-​minded, and I applaud their dedication.
The baristas are, in a word, lovely. They are the heart and soul of the establishment, and they comport themselves in such a way as to make every exchange a delight. I am indebted to them for the kindness they’ve shown this old man.
Lastly, the regulars are the lifeblood of the locale. They possess the kind of character that made this country great. Getting to know them has been a real pleasure.
Well, i suppose I’ll end here, but I thank you for reading, and I hope to see you soon at 3^rd Street Coffee!

Great food. Service was great and food came out fast. They split the sandwich for my wife and I. Water is sel served on the counter. Bathrooms are clean. They have croissant! Great place to eat qnd just relax a little. Nice spot downtown.

This place is my go to after-​church Friday night spot. The panini’s are awesome and filling! I love the chai frappé. Try the boba drinks! Good size for the price. :) super chill atmosphere and a good place to talk when not full.

3^rd Street Coffee is an amazing cute little shop across from the movie theater. It’s a quaint but warm place. The people greet you with friendly smiles and the food is absolutely terrific. There’s some amazing sandwiches for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The coffee is really great. I recommend the bagel and Oreo mocha. It’s a great place if you’re looking for solace among this booming capitalistic town. There’s wifi and amazing pastries to try. I’m so glad I came here

Very cute and small coffee/​sandwich place right across from the movie theater. A nicely warm place to walk into, you can instantly smell the aroma of coffee from the back of the café. I ordered a milk tea boba and a chocolate chip muffin. Batista was super friendly and had a small conversation about my earrings. Very sweet gal and costumer service on point. But I wad let down by my drink. Military tea was good on its own but the boba was way too chewy and flavorless.

Better than most non-​chain coffee shops, good prices and really good sandwiches. Really good atmosphere and always clean. Service is fast and the employees are great and will have a conversation with you and make you feel welcomed. Good place to come to

I love this Coffee shop it’s a small hidden store in Downtown Downey and if you are avoiding Starbucks this is the place you definitely need to try. I love that it is a small store with variety where in reality is great for Breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The staff and owners are always friendly and the place has a great vibe. It’s always busy during lunch but the wait is definitely worth it. Also, you can call in your order and it will be ready just for pick up. My personal favorite thing definitely has to be their Caramel Crunch cheesecake. It’s AH-​MA-​ZINGGGG!!! If you are into sweets this is definitely what you have to order.
Tip: If you go catch a movie at the movie theater in front of the store I recommend buying the snacks here. You will save at least $ 10 if you do this.

3^rd Street Coffee is a small café across from the lone movie theater in Downey.
It’s always busy, but they manage to still take their time in providing you with a tasty cold or hot beverage. I’ve done a very light breakfast here (bagels w/​cream cheese & I’ve tried the power protein sandwich). An afternoon snack of pastries. They also offer paninis, sammies, & salads for lunch.
But my favorite treat is an iced matcha green tea latte. Not too sweet, definitely not bland.
If you have more than a few minutes (as I have waited AT LEAST five minutes every time — but I’m not complaining, just sayin’) and you’re in the area, try this place! The employees are always nice.
Free street parking or in the parking garage nearby. They are open late! Free WI-​FI. Some outdoor seats, but mostly indoor.
GIFT CARDS (as of 9÷9÷15): I called them & they DO offer gift certificates (picture attached). $ 5 increments, but you can purchase as many as you need! They should advertise this better because I have never seen anything about this.

Very tasty coffee across from the Krikorian theater. This place is very busy and i see why… Its across from the theater and from other local places around the neighborhood. I saw a lot of people ordering food here so it must be good! Coffee selection is great and they are known for their «white thunder» (wifi password *cough *cough). The girls at the place were very friendly and willing to answer any questions or recommend a few items on the menu. They have outdoor seating which is nice… will i come back? Absolutely.

Loved it and the chicken salad sandwich I had today! Cute, cozy little place in renovated Old Town Downey which I found very charming. Felt a little like Mayberry (Andy Griffith Show).
High tables, low tables, and some comfy chairs to sit in along with a counter. I will be back soon to try their salads and boba specialties! Yum…

Definitivamente regresare!
