Casa De Luna Coffee House

I really want to get this place 5 stars and the reason I can’t is because lately their hours have not been consistent and because they don’t keep all of their drinks in stock all of the time. That being sad when they are stocked this is the best place to get a latte. A latte, not coffee as they do not have that on the menu, instead! you have a vast choice of expresso drinks available and teas as well.
The atmosphere is amazing, the staff is courteous and the bathrooms are clean, what more could you ask for!

This place has a chill setting; part of the reason why I stopped by. It’s great for doing homework, which was what I was doing while having a cup of coffee (~3.50, a little on the expensive side) and a banana.
Also, the workers were nice and friendly as well!
Gave this a 4 star because it isn’t as clean as I hoped for.

Might just be one of my new favorite places to get coffee.
Only 2 or 3 people were here when a friend and I dropped in on a weekday night. I’d wanted to try the ever-​so-​famous Mocha Azteca, but they were out. So I ordered a Chai Latte instead. My friend order the Luna Latte.
We sat down on two of the comfy armchairs and our drinks were quickly brought to us. The chai latte was delicious and I tried a sip of the luna latte, which was just as good.
I’ll definitely be coming back to try the Mocha Azteca and some of the other drinks they have to offer.

I wanted the Mexican hot chocolate or the Mocha Azteca, but they were out… So keeping the inventory in stock can be an issue for business.
Still, no fret, and move on to the next drink I was interested in — (sadly I don’t remember the name exactly) café leche con caramel
It had three shots of espresso (seems like a common thing in all their lattes), and enough caramel.
I had it iced on a hot night. The inside was super quiet and the area was sadly «dead» for a Friday night. So, if you’re here alone, superb, but not recommended for a lively group.

This review is for my two visits to this Luna place. The first time I came, it was half an hour after opening time and there is nobody to be seen. I drove 5 miles out of my way to go here just to be left denied at the door. They say the open at 8:30 but don’t trust it.
My second visit was today. I ordered for my wife and myself to get a variety of what they had to offer.
Drink 1: Iced Vanilla Latte w/​nonfat milk.
They poured way too much syrup in it and we had to throw it out. Was simply undrinkable.
Drink 2: Americano
I wanted to try the drip as I like the basics. They said they don’t have any and can only do Americanos. I went with that and it was basically below average. I ended up pouring it over ice when I got home to help mask the flavor. 7 – 11 or McDonalds coffee is better.
What coffee shop doesn’t serve the basic drip coffee? Hello… Is anyone home? The two stars is only because the décor is ok.

I got the mocha azteca. That was a big fail. I dont know why people crave about it. It’s nothing but cinnamon and water. Horchata tastes ten times better than this.
So I came back to give them a second chance but it was another fail. This time, more epic than the last one. I got the blended banana mocha and Milky Way and couldn’t even differentiate the two because they taste equally bad. Their product doesn’t stand a chance in today’s many independent coffee houses. This place pales in comparison to Philz coffee and Intellegentsia coffee. People that like their product have been drinking bad coffee, has been making bad coffee or simply loves the taste of bad coffee. It is very ordinary at best.
The worker (there was only ONE in a Sunday morning which speaks a lot about their business) was decent so I give him a couple of stars for trying.

great little coffee shopped tucked away in a seemingly dead downtown area.
Price: standard these days. $ 3.50-$ 4+ for a decent sized cup of coffee
Quality: GREAT stuff. banana nut latte (banana + hazelnut) yumms! next time I will try the banana mocha (banana + chocolate? yes please!)
and they have food if you plan to stick around for a while.
Service: super nice staff! put up with my indecisiveness and gave me some guidance.
Space: not too bad. lots of individual/​two-​seater tables. outlets pretty spread out. armchairs. it’s a great study environment. i can see it getting pretty dim at night, but it’s still light out so maybe they change the lighting when it gets darker? also outdoor seating facing an open grassy area. and another patio-​ish covered outdoor seating. lots of books for your reading pleasure.
Ambiance: Love it. it’s so peaceful and quiet here. a lot people come here to get work done.
Parking: street and adjacent lot. All 2 hours free before 6pm.
Too bad I’m not out this way that often. But if I am I would definitely want to come back here and get my study on! Glad I found this place on Unilocal~ Highly recommend coming in here.
And their WiFi is decent speed! Another plus! Let’s hope they keep up the quality of this café!

I came here around 2pm with my mom and sister for a late lunch. We ordered the Mexican hot chocolate, mocha azteca, iced chai latte, and two chicken sandwiches.
Food was amazing… definitely one of the better sandwiches I’ve had in my life.
I found the mexican hot chocolate to be entirely too sweet for my liking, but I’m not much for a sweet tooth. I did like the mocha azteca though which included mexican hot chocolate but better balanced by the coffee. Chai latte was good as well.
My true complaint is the service. Granted, there was only one guy working when we arrived but there was literally NO customers. And still, it took at least half an hour to get 3 drinks and two sandwiches. The man working behind the counter was busy chatting with a friend of his that came in (she didn’t order anything, just talked to him).
The ambiance was really cozy though… great to get some work done or curl up with a good book. It had a very well-​worn feel to it.
But I most definitely wouldn’t drive down to Bellflower just to eat/​drink here, especially with other comparable cafes closer to my house.

Wow, just wow.
No idea why I thought it was just going to be an average drink, but boy did it prove me wrong. The Mocha Azteca was just simply that good. A little bit on the sweeter side, but still a great drink. The sizes of their mugs are definitely different from what I’m used to in comparison with other coffee shops. I ordered a large, and they gave me a mug that I thought was medium sized. Plenty of seats. Very cozy, but the lights are a bit too dim for some reading during the night. The back had extra seating and there’s also a water fountain outside behind the place which was nice. Prices were average.
Milky way blended was also delish! 4.5 stars overall.

Driving through the area, I stumbled across Casa De Luna Coffee house. Reading the reviews, I decided to give it a try. The place is off the main road, in a quiet area of Bellflower, across the street from an elderly complex. It’s a pretty spacious area, with lots of small tables for two people, and a lot of comfy seating near the front of the shop. The owner was really friendly, and personally made my cup, dropping it off at my table after finishing.
Their Mocha Azteca is to die for! It’s a really solid cup of coffee, melded with tasty chocolate and cinnamon. All the different elements complimented each other, and the drink went down smoothly.
The place was pretty quiet, with only a couple of customers during the day. The music playing in the background was excellent, especially if you were in to study or read a good book! One of the songs played describes this perfectly: «At Last» by Etta James. Picture yourself sitting in one of the comfy chairs, and enjoying good coffee, while listening to such soothing music.
There are only a few negatives to this place:
1) The comfy chairs have a pillow that take up more than half of the seat.
2) The small tables next to the comfy chairs are pretty cheap, oddly light, and kind of peeling.
Granted, despite these drawbacks, this is still a nice hidden places to try. :)

Likes: Mexican hot chocolate, pastrami wrap with salad didn’t look that wow but was dee-​licious, friendly service, quiet little place with soothing jazz music, like the couches, piano in the corner and chess set available for customers to play
Dislikes: watch out for them jalapeños in the wraps! ;)

Wasn’t able to try any of the regular mochas because they had ran out of the dark chocolate the night I went, so I went with a white chocolate raspberry mocha instead.
Yum this is so so good. I’m not a fan of mocha drinks in general because they end up being too sweet, and if you are familiar with my drink preference, I really do not like sweet sweet drinks. And usually white chocolate is even more sweet than normal chocolate, however this one was not that sweet at all! It was perfectly made and there was just a hint of raspberry which was excellent in that it was not overpowering to my coffee.
There was a lot of road closures the night that I went to try it for the first time so I had to take a lot of detours, but I will gladly navigate my way through many obstacles if I could have another cup of amazing coffee here. Solid 5 stars.
tip: There is some two hour parking right in front of the shop, but if you cant park right in front, there is free public parking right in the corner lot and also ample neighborhood parking as well.

4.5 rounded up. This place doesn’t look like much from the outside but I LOVE the vibe of this place. Artsy and comfy. As soon I walked in, I felt like I could stay in there forever with the comfy couches and the cool jazz music playing in the background. The walls display art pieces from local artists, there is a piano in the corner and even a bookshelf with tons of books to browse. So cool! And it gets EVEN BETTER. The drink menu is fantastic! Soooo many different types of lattes to choose from, hot chocolates, teas and smoothies.
I hard a time deciding but I went with the caramel apple latte with decaf. Usually they put in three shots of expresso in it but since it was getting late into the night, I wanted something warm that wouldn’t keep me up. Bf got the milky way mocha. Both were really good! Mine was just a tad too sweet, but next time I’ll just ask the barista to put in less caramel. You could taste a bit more caramel then apple, but the apple flavor was still very apparent. Delish! The milky way mocha was ok for me. It had a light hint of caramel, but it just tasted like a sweet latte. Still good of course. But it didn’t have the unique flavor that were expecting. Coffee wasn’t super strong in either one. But that’s the way I like it!
For some of the drinks you have the option of getting it sugar free. The also have cakes and muffins on sale, along with sandwiches.
Will definitely be back! I want to try the fresa (strawberry) latte next time. I can see this place being a good hang out spot on Fridays and Saturdays. Although the girl working behind the counter says that they close between 11pm to 12am on those nights, depending on how many customers are there. So it seems like the closing time shifts around a bit.
Ample parking on the street and in the lot behind the building.

Easy to find. Spacious, open, lots of seating.
Furniture was old and the place was a little musky– but has a great vibe nonetheless.
Lady was nice and delivered our drinks to our tables. Café azteca is delicious and I love the latte art.

It’s a bit hidden surrounded by apartment buildings. Empty on a Wednesday mid morning. Mellow music playing (think Damian Rice and Jack Johnson). This is a nice place to grab coffee and catch up with friends. Good studying environment if the music wasn’t too loud but I believe it’s because no one else was there. On the opposite side of the coffee house is a fountain adding more serenity to the environment.
Large variety of drinks available but I just decided to choose the most popular one. They also have muffins but they look like the ones from Costco except it’s in a wrapper.
Mocha Azteca ($ 3.95)
— hot chocolate with shot of espresso
— smooth and thick taste of hot chocolate with a kicker of espresso
— the espresso kept me hyped up throughout the day; heart palpitations and jittery
— served a little hotter than my preferred temperature but not too hot to sip leisurely
— semi-​sweet
— something to enjoy once in a while especially on cold nights
Barista was nice and brought my coffee to me which gives Casa De Luna extra service points. Parking may be difficult when one would expect people to be home (night and weekends) since it’s mostly residential parking.
Overall, I would come back again if I’m ever in Bellflower. Downtown Bellflower is a leisure place to walk around but unfortunately not many shops. They have a stamp card (Five star) of which the cashier will ask for your name and email. Basically purchase 10 drinks to get the 11^th one free.

Old review:
OK so I got lost finding this place n when I got there I came in through the back. There was ppl but i couldn’t open the door this asshole was on his phone n didn’t bother opening door for me. Then I came in thru the front n it was dead. I ordered the mocha azteca. I wanted something to eat but all they had were some lame muffins n they were all out of food. Sat down n the seats were dirty n non cushioning ugh. The fire place mantle was dusty. The place doesn’t look like what I expected artsy, it was plain n dull. I was soo ready to go but when I tried my coffee all the negative things of this place disappeared the coffee was the BOMB! So overall the coffees great the place not so at least the one in bellflower.
Updated review:
Ok ok I’m starting to like this place the more i come the more i like it lol. Finally they got new couches to sit on way over due.

This is the only place I can really get some work done. Starbucks & the bean are just too noisy and I always get distracted at home too. They have a quiet room w/​comfy sofa chairs & pillows (I dozed off the other day lol) & a good amount of oulets.
Their mocha azteca (hot) is like whatevs. Now that chai latte (hot) is cup-​lickin’ gooooood! Smooth and sweet, just perfect! Can’t go wrong w/​their smoothies either.
Their sandwiches are very yummy and healthy. I’ve ordered the roast beef ($ 4.50) cos for some reason, they’re always out of turkey when I go. It comes w/​lettuce, bell peppers, avocado, tomatoes, mushrooms, cheese, on your choice of ciabatta bread or a croissant & your choice of the regular or spicy avocado sauce, plus a side salad w/​a tangy vinaigrette & crumbled feta cheese on top :-) Good portions for the price! Just skip the muffins.

I chose this spot for my meet up with Mrs R. for the following reasons
Aztec Mocha
Open late (Friday night)
Unilocal deal (10% off)
Free WiFi
The places was quite desolate on the later end of a Friday night yet the space was still inviting. We ordered our drinks and got cozy in a little corner seating area with three plush chairs and a mini table. Our drinks were delivered quickly in cute Casa mugs with a simple leaf like flower for foam art.
One sip of my Aztec Mocha and I was in heaven. Delicious rich spiced mocha warmed me up quickly. Thank goodness I ordered a large as if I ordered anything smaller I would have had to go back for seconds.
They have a small menu of sandwiches but I really had a hankering for a pastry of some sort. They didn’t have any so I would suggest maybe some cookies at least during the late evening.
The joint is way out of my way but I can see myself returning here. The mocha was fab and they’ve got the WiFis so a new fan they’ve got in me.

Mexican hot chocolate, love love love. And those flaky croissants, yummm.

****Tasty Tea Heaven. You Will Be Dancing on Clouds****
Hail Tea, full of grace. Taste is with you. Blessed are thou amongst all teas. Blessed is the fruit of your flavor.
~The Pearly Gates
Comfy n Cozy with the warmth of delicious tea leaves. Be romanced by the debonair fish who does no less than flirt his gills off. Art work abound and plush living room furniture will have you relaxed the moment you set foot inside. Soft music playing and wide open windows and doors lead you to an outside area covered by trees with a pleasant park view. Add the flavor and aroma of their vast tea selection and you will be dancing on clouds.
~The Fruit of Paradise
Japonese and Chinese Green Tea mix with a touch of caramel had my fingers wrapped around the cup. I could not put it down.
This is the place to come for hours. Come and sip on various teas, coffees and. oh yes. The best cup of hot chocolate I have had in years! Bring your laptop and enjoy the wifi. You can bring a book or a friend to chat with and you will find yourself enjoying a wonderful evening.
Casa De Luna. you are just about as good as it can get.

My friend and I were headed to Downey for a party and I looked for a café in the area that we could stop at for some good coffee. Unilocal gave me this lovely spot in nearby Bellflower. It’s on a small street, away from traffic. The interior is open with a good number of tables, chairs and plush seats (they’re not that soft… really, the only negative). There’s even a back area with more tables and plush seats and a bookshelf of random books. With free WiFi, this place is indeed a nifty space to study, work, read or hang-​out.
The barista was very friendly. I originally ordered a Mexican Hot Chocolate, but some conversation happened between her and my friend during which I learned you can have a shot of espresso in it, making it a Mocha Azteca. This sounded so much better so I switched. My friend had the same, but asked for half the chocolate as she normally does. My drink was pretty good. It’s on the sweet side and isn’t quite as rich as other Mexican hot chocolate type drinks I’ve had. My friend’s version was also a tad too sweet for her, even at half strength.
Still, this neighborhood coffeehouse is the kind of business I would love to support. I’ll try to come by when I’m in the area again and hope you’ll give them a try too!
Oh, and they have a frequent customer perk. You write your name on a card and they sign it whenever you’re back to order more drinks and then you put it back in the file box. Your 11^th drink is free.
