    Inside
    Beatrice V.

    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.

    Stilll a cute little coffee shop. But this time I am a coffee person! They have a holiday drink menu right now so check out the specials.

    Nice interior design.

    [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.

    Peanut butter latte

    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 ):

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

    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.

    Spam musubi croissant
    Astrud A.

    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.

    I love a good coffee shop that has a chill vibe to work in but also makes a great cup of coffee and this place definitely checks both marks! Great staff ready to give you their personal faves on your first time in.

    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.

    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!

    Great local shop to grab a coffee if in the area! The baked goods here are good as well. I got the strawberry almond croissant and it was really good.

This spot is tucked into the corner of the plaza so we literally had a moment of wait where it is LOL so just keep walking to the corner and you will see the sign board. This was matcha 3 on my LA matcha quest and honestly the most memorable imo. We came by on a weekday around ~11 and there was a short line that moved rather quickly. For the drink I got the double matcha; my friends tried the coffee. Ugh that double matcha spoiled me for life. Strong matcha flavor, cold foam was great without being too sweet or heavy; such a well balanced drink! Price point is definitely not bad for the quality and the cafe itself is petite, but bright and inviting. My friend enjoyed her coffee which was delish too~ I watched a poor guy quite literally explode a drink at the pick up counter when he was putting a lid on and the staff very graciously helped him clean it up and re-made the drink. Didn't appear even a tad disparaging and were super kind about it. Come by and have a great coffee or matcha!

Queueing up is fairly easy after entering, and the line goes straight to ordering and then pick-up. While waiting for the order, you can also watch them prepare your drink in line order, though many just skip to the end. I really enjoyed the light colors, interior decor, and organization of Stagger Coffee. The interior screams that Stagger really thought about both function and form; sitting may be a bit cramped at times, but it's K-town and foot traffic and visitor count is high. There's also some seating outdoors on the stone benches which can be nice until someone's smoking in the corridor. The iced latte? The first sips were good and bold, but this drink definitely felt more icy and watered down within 15 minutes. I'm not sure why but sip after sip, I felt less interested in drinking it. Perhaps I'll give this another try in the future, but for now this might be a one-time visit.

I even asked if they could adjust it (they added pistachio powder), but it still leaned more like a mocha to me. It also wasn't that light green color I usually associate with pistachio drinks, so it caught me a little off guard. Overall, it ended up being on the sweeter side. That said, the staff were genuinely kind and the space feels really inviting--somewhere you can actually sit and stay for a bit. There's plenty of seating, which I appreciate. Only downside is parking can be a little tough. Only meter parking but it's great for locals I'd still come back and look forward to trying other menu items like their horchata frappe and some of the bakery goods.
