My fave coffee shop in LA. The vibes are immaculate. Style, staff, coffee, food all top notch. We get the best vegan pastries here. Saadat the owner is such a great dude and we love coming in to hang out with our pup. Bonus points for their beautiful van often parked out front for customers to chill in. Go to here and enjoy. read more

What am oasis in the city. Love this spot. Staff is always cool, music is right, and the architecture is amazing, but the code and pastries are off. the. Chain! I had the chickpea curry puff which was EXACTLY what I needed after a long ride. Sweet on top, spicy in the middle, and the fluffiest flakiest freshest pastry I've had in years. Also had an iced almond latte which was PERF. There are other coffee places nearby but the prices are brutal and with Dinosaur here, I'm good. 11/10. Will be back. read more

the croissant i ordered was pretty good but the iced chai i ordered was watered down and also $8 which i felt was super expensive for what it was. the vibe was cool, lots of cute dogs & i enjoyed their outdoor seating. not much to say about the service. unfortunately, can't say this spot is anything special. read more

I was in the area and needed a little caffeine fix. I found a metered spot out front; the area can be a little busy since it's in the heart of Sunset Junction in Silver Lake. The cafe itself is pretty large, I was surprised by how much seating there was inside. Lots of people meeting up friends or working on their laptops, I noticed they have free wifi. They also have some gift and swag items for purchase. I ordered a couple matchas to go with almond milk. They weren't inexpensive, about $7 each (extra $0.50 for almond milk) and they only come in one size which is pretty small. I enjoyed my matcha though, it had a nice strong matcha flavor. It wasn't bitter despite having no sweetness added, and was nicely balanced. read more

[Updated] Coffee is good. Interior is beautiful. Location is convenient The lady at the cash register was grumpy. Flipping the screen expecting a tip on those $8 coffees, when you can't even smile or greet a customer, is a bit disappointing. Other staff members in general were friendly. read more

Drinks - All the drinks were yummy, but my favorite is the seasonal peanut butter pony! The peanut butter flavor was surprisingly strong in the coffee and in the whipped cream! Ambiance: - Cute shop with plenty of seating in the front and back - Dinosaur theme is very cohesive - One of my favorite coffee shops because there's a bar that you can stand at - Parking is easy since there are many streets to park at - Only 2 outlets ): read more

Nice cafe to do work or just chill. The coffee was very good and the donuts we tried were good. There's a good amount of seating, stable and fast wifi, good lighting, and a parking lot in the back. Overall nothing to complain about! We'll be back when we're in the area. read more

What a great little coffee shop. It was surprisingly easy to park and I liked how light and airy it was inside. It's a great place to go if you want to be on your laptop working in a nicely vibed space. Oh and they have cool dinosaur stuff... like these little figures all around! read more

This and the sister store (Woodcat) are the best coffee in Los Angeles. The tasting vinegars are excellent too. If you drink decaf the Cosmic Decaf is literally the best decaf you're ever going to find. https://woodcatcoffee.com/products/woodcat-decaf read more

The shop is really cute. However, there's limited seating, so we decided to order to-go and enjoy it elsewhere. read more

I tried one of their Lattes. The reviews were good, however, the latte was too watery and couldn't taste any espresso/ coffee taste in my latte which was very upsetting. This latte was one of the most watery lattes I ever tried. For $8.50, it wasn't worth it. read more

Really nice spot! Staff were helpful and friendly. Tried their spam musubi croissant and it was a very interesting take on spam musubi, I'd say it's 7/10 because I really do prefer rice with spam =___= The latte was nice and it wasn't too sweet or too strong. They have indoor seating and outdoor seating! It's right next to Mcdonalds. read more

Went here for a coffee date recently. The baristas were so friendly and shared that their signature Burnt Sugar Latte did not, in fact, taste floral even though it contains rose. And they were accurate! It was delicious, well-balanced, and had zero floral notes. The space is fairly large and open with a decent amount of seating. If I lived nearby, I'd be a regular. read more

The coffee and pastries were disappointing. The Honey Lavender Latte was both sour and very weak, yet overly sweet at the same time. The pastries were extremely sweet as well, with even a teaspoon of sugar sprinkled on top. The service was fine, but nothing special, and the café itself wasn't very cozy. The backyard was uncomfortable due to too much direct sunlight. read more

Spacious cafe with delicious coffee beverages. I'm very picky about my coffee, and this is one of two shops in the neighborhood where I've enjoyed both the drinks and the ambiance. Service can be slow on the weekends, but nothing too bad. My go-to is a vanilla iced latte with oat milk, which they made very well--I'm excited to try more! read more

I started coming here after moving to the area from WestLa and needing a new day to day coffee shop. I've had nothing but excellent experiences each time at Dinosaur. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is arm, and it offers great people watching. Both indoor and outdoor seating options are available. For optimal work and minimal distractions I would recommend the indoor seating in the back. If you prefer intermittent distractions, like me, the indoor seating in the front is ideal. A fair amount of outlets spread out through the shop, just not at each seat. Their specialty drinks are great but for a long work day I prefer Black coffee and I would says theirs is pretty average. It tends to take some acclimating to after each sip but their is a nice rich aftertaste that helps. Love this place and cant wait to keep coming back. read more

Nice, quiet coffee shop with a good atmosphere for some quiet work. I went there to read, and it was great for that. My coffee was smaller than I had wanted, but overall still a good latte. They were extremely quick with making the drinks which was a huge plus. Unsure what the parking situation is, I took metered street parking, but I saw a lot in the back - not sure if it's for customers or employees though. Street parking on Sunset wasn't too bad on a Saturday morning! read more

I was meeting a friend for dinner, and he lives in Echo Park. While he lives quite close to Stereoscope and they're great, I wanted to try something new. I've passed Dinosaur Coffee a few times and remembered thinking it looked nice, so when it came up in a Yelp search of places that were in the general vicinity and open late enough to work for me, I decided this was the time to try it. I had no problem finding parking on a nearby side street, and in I went. The shop is beautiful--love the dinosaur aesthetic--and there's a wide variety of seating. Initially, it was packed and I was able to squeeze in at the counter (where I could stand, which I like), but later I was able to move to a table near an outlet. Speaking of outlets, they aren't ubiquitous, but there a reasonable number of them around. I ordered my customary ice mocha, and I was very happy with it. I appreciated that it wasn't too sweet, and the chocolate notes didn't obliterate the espresso notes. Also, service is quite friendly, and the music was excellent. The overall vibe is super chill, with people stepping out to take their phone calls. All in all, a definite win, and I would absolutely come back. read more

Came here with a friend and enjoyed the chamomile tea and the matcha donut. We sat outside, and I was surprised that we could enjoy our conversation despite us being on the main Sunset strip. A good spot to socialize, but not great for groups due to the seating lay out. read more

Dinosaurs let the world hear you roar! Dinosaur Coffee (est 2014) is a cute coffee shop in Silverlake neighborhood of LA. They offer a wide variety of products besides coffee and pastries such as mugs, hemp beanies, bandana, pin logo, tote bag, hoodies etc. I have driven this coffee shop copious times (going to work) for the past eight bloody years but never had the audacity to visit. My rationale was there were too many customers in the morning. But today, I finally visited. Their interior design and open layout were rustic with a modern edge. From the outside, it's hard to discern how spacious it is inside not until you actually went in. It's circular centered marble full bar has a 360 degree view of the entire coffee shop whereby ordering can be swift. I came early Saturday (06/10) morning and I was perfunctorily greeted by a male staff. No other customers on line, thus, I was attended swiftly to my needs. I perused their large overhead board menu, and decided to order a hot Latte + wm and a butter croissant. Total cost was $10 bucks. Both items taste good albeit average. Furthermore, I like their dinosaur theme around the coffee shop which make this cafe even cooler. It brings the kid in-you. Lol. Service was swift. Male staff was obsequious with strong energy. Prices were within market value. Plenty of street parking. Overall, I had a good experience and enjoyed my hot latte and croissant. I may visit again in the near future. I recommend you check them out if you have not done so. read more

This is a great place to people watch and catch a vibe. The coffee's nothing to die for, but it's a very cute little place to hang out. Baristas are friendly, the branding is adorable. This is one of my favorite spots by far. I do drive over an hour just to chill here read more

Service was very underwhelming. I almost felt like I was bothering them trying to order. Coffee is decent.

Stopped in since it's close to work and looked like a cute spot, but that's really all it had going for it. The service was pretty underwhelming--seemed like only the regulars got a warm greeting. I ordered my usual dirty chai, but it just didn't hit the mark. My coworkers enjoyed the pastries, but for me, the lackluster service and disappointing drink aren't enough to bring me back. read more

THIS IS THE BEST HOT VANILLA LATTE/CAPPUCCINO IN LOS ANGELES. I love this place. It's always on my hit list. They also have the best pastries and alternative coffee drinks. The atmosphere is perfect, networking and giving the LA Vibes that you're looking for. The service is fast and reliable. read more

The natural light here is great! There are 2 tables in the front as well as bar style seating along the walls. At first I didn't notice there was more seats at the back but it was good to know I can come here and most likely not worry about having to find a seat. It's a good place to get work done too. I got an iced vanilla latte with regular milk and it did not disappoint. For $6.50 I thought it was a pretty fair price compared to other coffee shops in LA. I'll definitely be back! read more

Ambiance was nice & clean & spacious Clean restroom with a humorous sign They make the coffee right in front of you They have outside seating in front & in the back Street parking available & maybe parking in the back....we went around twice but couldn't an entrance.

Half the people in the store had iced matcha lattes so I got one too. It was extremely average with barely any matcha taste. Don't forget to ask for sweetener since it comes unsweetened Other than that, the playlist is fire here and the cafe is super trendy and aesthetic with a ton of space to do work and socialize Parking is terrible so try to go during off peak times read more

Good coffee in usual variations, really appreciated that they also offer shrubs for when you've had enough caffeine. Looks like some pastries are offered in the morning (by noon they were gone) and there is outdoor seating in front and back. At noon when I visited on a Monday, practically every seat was taken and everyone was on a laptop. Quite popular. read more

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 read more

a local roaster's (Woodcat Coffee) coffee shop. It was first time having Woodcat coffee and it didn't disappoint. I had single origin hand pour and a single origin espresso (I believe it was Ethiopia Geed). the store is nice and open and had good amount of sitting area in the back as well as a few tables in the front. I would definitely come back again if I am in the neighborhood. Their baked good options seems to be same supplier as Dayglow coffee. All in all it was a delectable experience. read more

#66 in my Coffeeshop Chronicles. Dinosaur Coffee has cute branding but everything else was off-putting. I ordered an iced cardomon cinnamon cappuccino and vanilla latte and both drinks were disappointing. While the vanilla latte was slightly better, they both tasted like basic coffee so I didn't feel like either were worth the price point. Also, other than the actual drinks that were lacking, I had an issue with service, and to explain the problem I need to first describe the store layout. So the coffeeshop has this circular coffee bar set up with seats on both ends, and I had found a seat at the bar on the back end. But given the circular setup, the employees can see customers on all sides. So they saw me sit there waiting for my drinks and never bothered to say anything. It wasn't until I realized a long time had passed and I got up to go around to the front that I saw my drinks sitting there waiting, for who knows how long. I was pretty annoyed by that, because not only did they clearly see me waiting but I didn't even hear them call out my name. Like you don't need to bring my drinks to me even though I'm literally right next to you, but at least tell me my order is ready. ********************* My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Will definitely return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around eating here read more

Had lunch around the area and decided to find a coffee place somewhat near by, and this place popped up on my Yelp search. Dinosaur Coffee? That sounds pretty cool? Maybe some dinosaur decor of some sort? Maybeeee real dinosaurs serving up coffee? All the thoughts running into my head haha... Parking: right in front, all street parking... if you are an LA driver, you basically have to parallel park like lightning speed before a car zooms through and honks at you to "hurry up" in their speed. We get inside the cafe, right off the bat it was a pretty spacious open concept. Can see the little touches of dinosaur merch that they had surrounding the store front and walls. Ended up getting cold brew, which I mean... for the most part it should be a no fail on making, it was good and strong. The perfect pick me up for the drive back home. My friend got their iced latte, she enjoyed it! Service: pretty helpful and nice, as we were both indecisive on what we wanted to get haha. read more

An adorable cafe with strong coffee game. The combination of natural wood, white walls, and miniature dinosaurs create a warming ambiance for a Sunday afternoon. My oat latte was just right, where the oat milk doesn't overpower the coffee, and the crispy croissant added another round of applause. I love it when cafes serve a well-baked croissants! Dinosaur Cafe has low chatter and plenty of seating areas. I'd recommend for studying and reading! read more
