Take your family, friends and that one crazy tia an ask for Carmen, she will amaze you with her beautiful way of being. Tell her that Michelle sent you. 😉”

Crumbl - Downey 8994 Apollo Way Ste B, Downey Bakery • $$

“recommended to me — I wasn’t disappointed. There was a bit of a line when I arrived, but it moved quickly and the staff were helpful, even with all the hustle. The ordering process was super easy, and the space felt clean and welcoming.

The cookies themselves? Genuinely excellent. Big, warm, and packed with flavour — definitely lived up to the hype. I tried a couple of the weekly specials and would’ve gone back again if I’d had more time in Downey.

Nice stop if you’re travelling and want something sweet (or very American!). Great location too — easy to find and plenty of parking nearby, but we walked as hoteled in the local area”

The Afghan Kabob House is an absolute gem! The owners truly care about their customers and go above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience.
The food is simply incredible. Every dish is bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. We especially loved the lamb kabobs, bolani, mantu. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu – it's all a must-try!
Pro tip: Go with a group so you can sample a variety of dishes and share the deliciousness.

The drinks were great, the bar is lively and there was a DJ. Super fun vibes and great crowd. Reminds me of the pre Covid days. Everyone was friendly and talkative, buying drinks for each other with no drama. I went here on a whim with my friend after the Beyond the Grave pop up bar. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but places like this are my favorite. I will definitely be back! The bartender made a perfect Midori sour, which is actually one of those cocktails that seems easy to make, but can be easily unbalanced. Definitely some pool sharks which made for a good viewing”

One Twelve Caffe 8830 Apollo Way #112, Downey Mediterranean • $$

“I ordered the cinnamon oat latte, and I'm usually not a fan of oatmilk but it was balanced so well against the espresso and the cinnamon that it didn't dominate the flavor. It was a very smooth drink, not too sweet, not too bitter, and not too strong.

My wife got the strawberry matcha latte, and while the matcha was of a decent grade and quality, the strawberry isn't a puree, nor is it like a strawberry creme or milk added in, it's an additive in powder form and she doesn't tend to like that.

Their chocolate croissant, which we shared, was heated up as requested, it came with a line of melted chocolate drizzle on top, which I think was similar to Nutella but less thick in terms of consistency. It was also topped with powder sugar, and it had an inserted line of darker chocolate, maybe 65%, so pretty balanced against the sweetness of everything else involved.

The area the cafe is located in is nice, it's a large promenade with several nicer restaurants (it's also sort of attached to it's restaurant counterpart) and there's plenty to walk around and get some shopping done or walk off the drinks and baked sweets. Plenty of parking as well, and the mall itself is only a block or two north from the cafe.”

“I came here cause my partner found it and raved about it. He bought me a club Sandwich the day he found it and it was really good. We just came today and had their cheeseburger and fries. Nothing in the burger was like mushy. Everything felt fresh and with a bite. My favorite part is that their fried zucchini is breaded in this light, yet crunchy breading. Only way I can describe it is almost like tempura. The zucchini itself is not mushy and wet. It feels like they’re not frozen but chopped and made in house. 10/10 for me. Very pleased”

“I spotted this place while driving to See’s Candies and decided to give it a try, so glad I did. From the moment we walked in, the customer service was on point. We were greeted right away, and the whole place had a warm, welcoming, homey vibe.

The menu selection is solid. We ordered the beef gyro and the chicken souvlaki plate. The beef gyro was very tasty, the meat was tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. The chicken souvlaki was also delicious, but the real standout for me was the hummus. It’s made in-house, and you can absolutely tell, creamy, warm, and honestly one of the best hummus dishes I’ve had.

It even brought back memories of Papa Cristo back in Mid-City LA, that’s how good it was. If you’re craving quality Mediterranean food, don’t pass this gem up.”

Compared to michocana, where they want to charge $4 for one scoop and that scoop is so small it’s as if i was asking for it to be free. I see why the lines can get heavy, its high quality, many flavors to choose from and a great price.”

Everyone was friendly and talkative, buying drinks for each other with no drama. I went here on a whim with my friend after the Beyond the Grave pop up bar. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but places like this are my favorite. I will definitely be back! The bartender made a perfect Midori sour, which is actually one of those cocktails that seems easy to make, but can be easily unbalanced. Definitely some pool sharks which made for a good viewing”

I had an amazing experience at Fire Wings, thanks to Eric and Cindy! From the moment I walked in, their customer service was absolutely outstanding. They were friendly, attentive, and truly made me feel welcomed.

Eric and Cindy went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, checking in, answering questions, and making sure we were taken care of with such a positive attitude. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers, and that kind of service makes a huge difference.

Because of them, my experience at Fire Wings Downey was top-tier, and I will definitely be coming back. Thank you both for the wonderful service you really made my day!”

The salmon was wonderful, so delicious! I totally recommend their food. Yes, their prices are high, but you're getting the best food possible. And, really, on a special occasion, it's worth it to enjoy delicious food and great service!! Thank you, Verdugos, for a great Valentine's dinner!! We pray you are the most successful restaurant in Downey!”

“I’ve been coming to this authentic Mexican mom-and-pop restaurant for over 10 years, and it has never disappointed me. The food is consistently amazing rich in flavor, homemade, and prepared with genuine care and tradition. Despite what may appear online, the restaurant is NOT permanently closed, they are OPEN and actively serving customers. Please don’t let that misinformation stop you from visiting. Every dish I’ve tried has been excellent, but the tamales are truly unforgettable, hands down some of the best I’ve ever had. This place is a true hidden gem that deserves recognition and continued support.”

“recommended to me — I wasn’t disappointed. There was a bit of a line when I arrived, but it moved quickly and the staff were helpful, even with all the hustle. The ordering process was super easy, and the space felt clean and welcoming.

The cookies themselves? Genuinely excellent. Big, warm, and packed with flavour — definitely lived up to the hype. I tried a couple of the weekly specials and would’ve gone back again if I’d had more time in Downey.

Nice stop if you’re travelling and want something sweet (or very American!). Great location too — easy to find and plenty of parking nearby, but we walked as hoteled in the local area”

“Since this place opened, my brothers and I have been here practically every week.
You can choose from either round or square pizza (both are good, but I prefer the latter). The choice of quality ingredients is extensive.
Everything from the sandwiches, salads, and strombolis are amazing. The fettuccine alfredo is the best I've ever tasted... seriously.
They often have items not listed on their menu available, such as slices of Luna (stuffed pizza).
In true New York style, they have whole pizzas in the display case which you can buy by the slice.
It's not cheap, but you are paying for quality. One of the BEST pizzerias in the Los Angeles area.”

The service is fast, and while the staff is on the quieter side, once I took the initiative to strike up a conversation, they really opened up ❤️ They were sweet, attentive, and welcoming.
I’ll definitely be back!”
