I don't write reviews on here often. This one was unpleasant enough to warrant a little feedback in hope it can be heard. The shop wasn't busy around 3ish pm and yet I was welcomed by two goofballs looking at each other for one to take the order. The girl straight up shook up her head, so the reluctant guy came up to the POS and took my order. 3 min after or so we noticed 3 drinks sitting by the bar. They didn't call out the drinks, so my friend and I who ordered separate had to guess which ones were ours. Again, it wasn't busy and I wouldn't have minded if the crew working had been at the very least cordial. When my friend asked the guy (who took her order) if that was her drink, he did a double take and asked her "what did you have?" I work at a coffee shop down the street. I get it. We're not robots who should always have a smile on or ask about each others days. Personally, I'm not eager to get to know them or have a conversation - I'm fine with a transactional purchase as long as the standard is mutual cordiality. They made me and my friend feel like we were inconveniencing whatever they were doing by ordering (two very simple drinks). Drinks were ok and definitely didn't not live up to the "too cool for you" attitude.

Such a cute spot! Love their interior and like dinosaurs everywhere. Some spots for working available but i think it's better suited for a catching up w a friend! Service was great and quick on a saturday morning. Iced vanilla latte w oat milk - 5/5 not overly sweet and really good rich taste hot mocha w oat milk - 3/5 tasted a little bitter and not really chocolatey or milky unfortunately. Probably wont order that one again but would come back for the latte! U can park at mcdonalds next door

My best days start with Dinosaur. The crew is so nice and welcoming, the pastries are magnificent (try the devil for donut, you're welcome), and the coffee is top notch. Personally, I love the dirty almond chai, but do you! I feel so lucky this is part of the neighborhood, you will too.Vegetarian options: They have vegan donuts

Good strong Americano. Multiple options for seating and calm spot to work from. There is parking in the back which was a surprise, as in front the street parking on sunset is a bit tougher to find.

I got the expresso tonic and it was DELICIOUS. The place is decently sized, but seems to usually be pretty packed so be ready to possibly not find seating. The Wi-Fi seemed to be an issue for other people as well as myself. The Wi-Fi wouldn't connect for me or my friend. Someone next to us said he had to go next to router in the back to connect but it still didn't work for us. When I asked the barista she told me there was nothing she could do. We ended up having to go to another coffee shop to get work done. Coffee good, Wi-Fi not so good. Overall, cute atmosphere though.

Omg LOVED this coffee. Tried the Carrot Cake Latte and it was a great twist on the dessert, not too sweet but great for a coffee. They were busy, but get through fast. Wish I had been in a little earlier so I could try the pastries. Looks like a favorite hang out spot for families, was very busy!

I loved it! It has several tables and outlets to charge your cell phone or laptop. I tried the chai latte (they put cinnamon powder in it, they didn't warn me, but I guess the good thing is that I'm not allergic)They have glasses and water on the side, as well as Wi-Fi. The girl at the counter I guess was in a bit of a bad mood.

The coffee and food was good but the small blonde girl at the front was very rude and dismissive to my sister and I.
Very very good iced oat milk matcha. On the pricey side, but at first I was annoyed at the price and then as I drank it I was annoyed that it was also one of the best matcha lattes I've had so I couldn't be fully mad at the price, and my boyfriend laughed at me.

Really speedy service. I thought the outdoor garden - like seating space was cute. The indoor working space was cozy. There is WiFi but felt more like a creative space and space to connect. Glad I got to visit. The chai latte was excellent.

3.5/5 stars i saw this place online and was absolutely intrigued. i heard they made their vanilla syrup in-house and just had to try it !! it was honestly decent but kind of underwhelming. the vanilla flavor isn't too strong and it's almost like a "barely-there" flavor. that could definitely b other people's preferences but honestly, not mine and i wish the vanilla flavor was just a tad bit stronger. however, the espresso is v smooth and i thoroughly enjoyed it. the price for (i think) a 12 oz ice latte is a bit high but it is LA so lol it's whatever. but, the cafe is really aesthetic and cute and there was plenty of street parking available at the time i went (on a weekday earlier this week). on the flip side, we honestly were kinda of disappointed by the barista. they were kind of dismissive and rude to us but i totally understand that they probs just had a bad or stressful day. there were also outlets available. i def would recommend this place as a cute lil study date place but i wouldn't come back unless im alr in the area tbh.

I ordered the matcha latte with almond milk, sweetened with vanilla. When I received my order I was very disappointed. I paid almost $8 for this drink. I say it’s on the pricier side and it’s not worth it, this is a very small portion. There were literal CHUNKS of matcha that was not mixed in. Every time I took a sip, I was met with the bitter chunks of matcha which was hard to avoid. The drink tasted like water, a very small hint of matcha and a little bit of sweetness at the end of the drink. Maybe I should’ve asked them to remake it? Regardless this was my first visit here and I stayed here to do some homework. Good wifi and great atmosphere. It was quiet with good taste of background music.
