Jurassic Magic Café is a great spot if you're looking for a spacious coffee shop with a relaxed vibe. I stopped by early in the morning and ordered the Magic Latte--it reminded me of a vanilla latte but with a generous cinnamon kick. Since I arrived right after opening, finding street parking wasn't an issue. If you're visiting later in the day, parking may take a little more patience. The café has plenty of seating, making it a nice place to catch up with a friend or get some work done. I enjoyed my visit and would definitely come back to try more of their drinks. read more

Love the vibes here, feels like an art gallery more than a coffee shop. I tried the "Bright Eyes" and loved it! Great sound, vibes and people. Coming back soon! read more

Jurassic Magic - Bright eyes and magical macha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Cute spot with a beautiful interior and great vibes--it almost feels like a mini art museum. They have a creative drink menu with lots of unique options. I tried the Spring Basics Decaf, and while I appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet, it wasn't quite my favorite. The spice notes came through much more than the advertised chocolate and yuzu flavors, so the drink felt a bit unbalanced to me. That said, I enjoyed seeing the creative menu and would be interested in trying some of their other drinks next time. read more

Jurassic Magic - Pastries - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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. read more

Jurassic Magic - Seating - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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. read more

Jurassic Magic - Cold Brew with Almond Milk and Vanilla - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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. read more

Picked up a cold brew with their house vanilla syrup last week and it was sooo good. I had a splash of oat milk if I remember correctly, and that made the drink go down even smoother than it already is! I normally don't add syrup but heard it was popular so I decided to try and it delivered. It was the perfect amount of sweetness (I think I asked for it light, but I can't remember). The cafe itself is really need, quiet ambiance with a few chairs. Service was quick, given it was near closing. I'd come here again for their cold brew :) read more

Love this location! Staff is so friendly, parking is easy, and the drinks are delicious. I definitely recommend their lattes since all the syrups are made in house. My favorite is the magic latte :-) Also the ambiance is so cute, I love meeting friends here for a cup of coffee read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

I sent my co worker to pick up my coffee and it was a dirty matcha which is supposed to be rich in flavor either in matcha or coffee but mine was neither it was rich in cold water taste . Not a good way to start the morning especially on the price . read more

Came in on a Friday midday and was empty. Love the vibes of this spot!! Glad they were able to open another location closer to downtown. I really like that they offer such a variety on their menu. Their Summer Vibes drink was really good. Not overly sweet and was able to taste all the flavors listed on the menu description. Friendly barista, too! read more

Cute little shop. Great service. Coffee was good and we enjoyed the pastries too! The vibes were immaculate.

Amazing in every way!!!! Ophelia was the barista helping me, and I experienced such great service! Thank you Ophelia! I ordered a latte with magic spice and it was yummy! I would totally go back! I found street parking nearby. The store is so cool! The decor is kind of futuristic and retro at the same time?? Very cool! read more

This place was amazing. Wish it was in OC. Will definitely come back when in the area. Had their seasonal specials.

Lovely service, the team working was cool and friendly! I ordered a cold brew and it was perfect, bold and smooth. Loved the spam and kimchi pastry! Glad a fun and local coffee shop opened up in the area. Easy to find street parking nearby, I'll definitely be stopping by more often! read more

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 :) read more

I think it's really insane I wasn't able to tip the barista when I came in. It made me feel really uncomfortable. I am in the service industry and I have never experienced going to a coffee shop where I cannot tip. The only reason I am giving five stars is because Ofelia was so sweet and made me the most amazing coffee! I really hope this place fixes this problem because it makes me feel like the employees are not taken care of. read more

The service is fast & the coffee is strong. You can't really ask for anything better. From the moment you place your order to the moment you get your coffee, you're being helped with a smile. Some of the best coffee in Los Angeles read more

consistently good!!! i've been here a handful of times and can accurately say it's been good every single time. none of that milky watered down latte nonsense. the vibe is really curated but not in a pretentious way it's a very chill spot to hit up when in the area. read more

Stopped in for a coffee and ended up staying longer than planned. The barista Ally was incredibly warm and welcoming, making the whole place feel inviting right away. My pastry was fresh, flaky, and absolutely delicious. Between the music and the cozy atmosphere, it's the kind of spot you can easily lose track of time in. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Jurassic Magic - Service Dog was a big hit with staff and customers - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

came in earlier this morning and the poor barista was all by herself. she had a long line and it seemed like her voice was gone . She was very attentive , made an amazing cup of coffee , and gave the best service i've ever been given. i asked her if she would be getting a break soon and she said she wouldn't because they work 8 1/2 hours all by themselves with no breaks, insane!! And to top it all off she isn't even allowed to accept tips. Horrible work environment for a barista so great. Won't be coming back as i do not encourage these establishments with poor business practice read more

Good coffee, friendly baristas, convenient location. Idk why Yelp needs 85 characters per review but good spot
