Our Story
Since 2000
Twenty-five years of coffee, community, and connection on 3rd Street.
A Downey Original
Born on the corner of
3rd & New
In 2000, 3rd Street Coffee opened its doors at the corner of 3rd Street and New Street in downtown Downey. What started as a simple idea — great coffee in a welcoming space — quickly became something more: a gathering place for the community.
Over the years, we've watched students study for exams that would shape their futures, friends reconnect over lattes, and families make Saturday morning coffee runs a tradition. We've been here for first dates, business meetings, and quiet moments of solitude with a good book and a warm cup.
Twenty-five years later, our mission hasn't changed. We still believe that a great cup of coffee, made with care and served with a smile, can make your whole day better.
What We Believe
Our Values
Community First
We're not just a coffee shop — we're your neighbor. We sponsor local events, support Downey schools, and treat every customer like family.
Quality Always
Premium beans, fresh pastries, and drinks made to order. We never cut corners — because you deserve the best in every cup.
Warm Welcome
Walk in as a stranger, leave as a regular. Our team knows your name, your order, and how to make your day a little brighter.
"The best coffee is the one shared with good company."
What's On Offer
Something for
everyone
Our menu has grown over the years, but the care behind every item stays the same. Start your morning with a bold espresso or smooth drip coffee. Cool down with one of our famous blended drinks or a refreshing boba tea.
Pair your drink with a freshly baked muffin, a flaky croissant, or one of our hearty breakfast burritos. For lunch, our paninis and sandwiches are made fresh to order. And yes — we have something for every sweet tooth, from lemon bars to caramel brownies.
