    Having enjoyed the Jurassic Magic location in Mid City, I was curious to see how I would find this location located near MacArthur Park. Finding street parking can take some time, but so far I've been able to find spots that are a reasonable walking distance to the cafe. The interior design reminds me of a walking into a small art gallery with a shelve of books on one side of the wall, visible artwork, and small boxy tables with metallic chairs for seating. During each of my visits, there has been one staff person taking orders and making drinks. The employees were friendly, though I could imagine there being a wait for drinks when there is a lengthy line. The espresso-based drinks I've had were well-made, and I found a good spot to read or linger for a while.

    Found this spot through ClassPass. The coffee was really good, the inside was cute and clean, and the barista was very nice and accommodating.

    Not my first time to Jurassic Magic as I have been a fan of its Mid City's one. So knowing they're having another outlet surely excited me especially this one carried just different ambience. To my surprise it wasn't that busy on Sunday, making it easy to find a seat and the service was also speedy. I got their signature cold brew with vanilla syrup and almond milk. I loved how their cold brew tasted bold yet had smooth finishing and their house vanilla syrup also tasted outstanding.

    We were participating in the cicLAvia bicycle event and wanted some iced coffee for our afternoon caffeine buzz. The high end coffee shops in this area are bleak. This new coffee house saved the day. There were other bicyclists here sitting outside on the small stools relaxing in the shade. I ordered an iced mocha less sweet and it turned out just right.

    Jurassic Magic is a great find near MacArthur Park. Do not judge this cafe by the area because the interior is clean and filled with cool books and decor. We found parking easily during the day and felt perfectly fine. I ordered the Spanish latte which tasted delicious. It is basically a standard chai coffee and hit the spot. The service was good and my drink came out very quickly. This is a cool spot to visit if you are in the neighborhood.

    It would be a lie if I said that I happened to stumble across this cafe, since I actually waited for 3 months for this place to open. Its a fairly unnoticeable cafe; its tucked inside a historical building and next to a letterpress store. The inside is fairly big with ample seating, nice space to gather with a group of two or three to lounge and talk. The coffee is good. I got the latte with almond milk and I liked it. I'll definitely have to come back and try the specialty drinks on their menu. Parking can be a bit tough since it is street parking but on any given weekday, its not that bad. The neighborhood is a bit rough though, so definitely be on the lookout.

    This is one of the few coffee shops in the neighborhood and that is counting the big chain coffee shops. The coffee shop is located in a historic building now called Westlake Square building in which it has intricate molding all around the building and hand drawn roof. When you step in, you are immediately enter the sitting area and to your right you see the ordering station. They offer a good amount of drink selections and pastries. The staff is nice and on top of welcoming new customers when they walk in. I ended up ordering the Magic latte which was delicious. Looking forward to coming back!

    Huge shoutout to Ofelia. My friends and I were blown away by her incredible service -- honestly, I've never seen anyone serve with such professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail. She made us feel welcome, took care of every need, made adjustments for us, and truly went above and beyond. In the middle of LA, it's rare to find service like that. Combine that with the cafe's amazing retro and artsy vibe and unique menu items - def coming back. Also, check out their journaling prompts :)

    The Shy Guy tea instantly became part of my top 3 fav iced teas ever. Super cute space, super fast service.

    My friend said this was her favorite matcha spot in town so you know I had to stop by when I was in…read morektown. Similar to much of ktown there isn't that much parking but they have valet if you wanted to post up a bit and enjoy. Be warned that even on a weekday this place is packed. However, they have a good system and even with the lines I got my drink within 5 mins. Shocking as i've seen this taken 10 mins + at other places. I was pleasantly surprised by the space as it had a good amount of seating and while the outdoor space next door isn't officially theirs, people seem to use it as well so it opens up the space. I got their strawberry match since it is the season and it did not disappoint. The strawberry jam was tasty and not too sweet. Also got the double matcha to wake me up even more and I enjoyed it. I did see a lot of others getting their jasmine matcha so I will need to get that next time!

Despite that, the café is always busy, which says a lot about its popularity. The interior is modern and minimalist with a clean, stylish atmosphere. Their matcha lattes are what they're best known for. I ordered the Double Matcha Latte, and it was absolutely delicious. The matcha flavor was rich, thick, and incredibly bold. My only complaint is that the portion was much smaller than I expected. The service was okay. It wasn't particularly warm or memorable, but it was fine. Overall, it's definitely worth a visit if you're a matcha lover.

    Stopped by Stereoscope for a cortado and had a really enjoyable experience. One thing that…read moreimmediately stood out was the barista's knowledge. She was genuinely engaged in talking about coffee, understood the beans she was serving, and was able to answer questions without hesitation. That's becoming harder to find these days, and it definitely added to the overall experience. The cortado itself was well executed. The temperature was right where it should be, allowing the flavors to come through immediately without having to wait for the drink to cool down. I was able to clearly taste the notes in the coffee, and the balance between the espresso and milk was excellent. The body held together nicely throughout the drink and never felt thin or watered down. My only critique would be that the crema and microfoam leaned a little more matte and foamy than glossy. It wasn't enough to take away from the drink, but a slightly silkier, shinier texture would have elevated it even further. That said, this was an Ethiopian natural, which can be a bit trickier to dial in and pair with milk while still preserving the character of the coffee, so it's a fairly minor criticism. Overall, a very good cortado from a shop that clearly cares about coffee. Good execution, proper temperature, clear flavor separation, and knowledgeable staff always make for a better coffee experience.
