    Heard that this bakery was really good, so glad that I was able to try it while being in the area! Super cute bakery! They have lots of baked goods, scoops of cake, and merch! We had the scoop of cake since they do not have whole cakes available unless you preorder it. The German Chocolate scoop of cake we got was really good! Love how moist the cake was and it was not overly sweet. The key lime pie was reallyyyy good!! I can't wait to try out the other pies next time. The chocolate chip with sea salt flakes was chocolatey and a bit harder than I would have liked. They have these cookie letters you can get. Thru take a few minutes to bake if you need them day of. I was able to call in to tell them what letters I wanted and it was ready when I arrived. I got one name and one happy birthday phrase and it was $5. There were so many baked goods I want to try so I cannot wait for my next visit!

    I have had treats from Dinersaur from a local coffee truck but this was my first stop into the store. We were welcomed in and it's a cute little spot. There isn't any tables inside and can get cramped if there's a few people in line. They have multiple different cookies, breads, cold items, sandwiches. We really enjoyed the Banoffee as I haven't found a local spot that sells it and it's amazing from here. The oatmeal iced cookie was chewy and fabulous. I cannot wait for another stop in to try everything they offer!

    We originally thought Dinersaur was a classic diner serving eggs, soups, buffalo wings, fries--typical comfort food. But after doing a bit of research, we realized it's actually a small bake shop. They offer a variety of cookies, pie slices, and small cakes, all with a playful dinosaur theme. To be honest, I wasn't all that impressed (my kid who loves EVERYTHING dinosaur didn't care for it, either) and don't quite understand the hype. Maybe the buzz comes from their limited hours and daily stock, which makes the place seem busier than it is. It's also a very tiny spot--five people inside feels like you're packed in a sardine can. Here's what we picked up during our visit (along with some cute dino stickers): - Chocolate Banana Breadosaurus (dark chocolate, no nuts) - Stroopwafel (butterscotch) - Key Lime Pie - Dino Sugar Cookie (shortbread with whipped royal icing) None of the baked goods really stood out. They were fine, but not so amazing that I'd go out of my way to come back. Definitely not a "must-visit" in my book. Also, seeing a fly chilling inside the baked goods case--on a dropped cookie, no less--was a big turn-off. Eww. Sadly, even if we're in the area again, I don't think we'd return.

    I don't want to brag, but my husband spoiled me with a birthday cake from here over the weekend. I actually want to brag, because he also bought me additional treats to enjoy! This is the cutest little bakery, and I've been a big time fan since I moved to Arizona back in 2018. When it was time for our 2 year wedding anniversary and everything was on lock down, I wanted us to have a cake to really celebrate. It was beautifully made and so so delicious. We came back over the weekend, and it was the cutest shop with dinosaurs everywhere! I picked up a churrover, an oatmeal cookie with vanilla bean frosting, and raspberry jam linzer cookie! Everyone was so nice and helpful! As for the cake, my husband got us a chocolate olive oil cake with a chocolate pudding, and marscapone frosting! This is such an adorable shop and it's such a plus on how yummy it is! I highly- HIGHLY recommend

    Can I give 6 stars? We got basically one of everything and I wish we got more. The baked goods were delicious!! We really loved the oatmeal cookie, the churro, the chocolate chip cookie. I will say we didn't really like the black sesame cookie, it gives a savory/ sesame oil flavor, and not sweet like we had expected. The Ceaser sandwich was BEYOND good. It also came with chips and a little tea cookie. We fought over the last bite of the sandwich. Everyone inside was very sweet! We got terrific service. It's a cute little shop! The only thing is there's no place to sit and enjoy all the treats! We will definitely be back to try different goodies!

    This place is great! I was craving something sweet and my cousin suggested this place. Love the theme and their pastries. I ended up getting several things. Banana bread, a churro, tres leches. There is something for everyone. The people are helpful.

    I first discovered The Dinersaur at First Place Coffee, my favorite coffee truck in the greater Phoenix Area. Having sampled the banana breadasaurus and churrover (popover X churro + vanilla custard filling), I had to check out their brick & mortar. The Dinersaur offers lunch items in addition to their many baked goods and everything is made fresh daily! Their "eggies snack box" is filled with brightly colored fresh veggies and a delicious egg salad. They also offer seasonal beverages (recently, I found their fall lemonade: lemon, thyme & ginger!) I was lucky enough to snag one of their holiday cookie boxes on pre-order this year and everything was beautiful and delicious! 2 dozen assorted cookies! The staff is patient, knowledgeable and so sweet! The bakery has gone through a few iterations in their floor plan. Currently, the entrance is on Thomas Rd. and all purchases are to-go. There is no seating inside. They've really leaned into the "Dinersaur" theme, as the holiday decor and a lot of merch all include dinosaurs!

    Such a cute and fun idea! My kiddos loved it. Tasted great too which was surprising. I was worried it would be dry but it wasn't.

    Salted chocolate chip cookie
    Rebekah D.

    This was a cute little spot. I love the dinosaur theme. Service was fine. There's lots of parking in the lot behind the building. I don't go to places if the parking sitch is horrible but there were plenty of spots available. I had just left brunch so I didn't buy a bunch of treats. They are pretty reasonably priced. The salted chocolate chip cookie was okay. It had a little too much salt, so much that it overpowered the chocolate and just tasted like a salty cookie. Super cute looking though. The banana bread was adorable. It was shaped like a little stegosaurus. Flavor was kind of bland to be honest. I think the banana and vanilla flavor should be increased, and probably increase the sugar just a bit to really make it pop. Props for being a cute theme, love the vibes, but I wasn't a huge fan of the recipes. Maybe I'll have to go back and get a bigger variety.

    I love dinosaurs and snacks so I love this place so much! It was easy to find and lots of parking. Most things were still available even though I visited late in the day. It's so cute inside and the folks working there are super nice. The price is good for the quality and the service is fast. I got a lemonade, banana bread o saurus and sugar cookies. I also bought some dinosaur gifts (pen and pencils and so on). I wanted a t shirt with the cute art but they were all long sleeve so maybe next time. If you like dinosaurs this is a must visit! I wish we had a location in Utah. I hope I have to come back to Arizona for work again so I can have an excuse to stop by for more bread o saurs!

    Baby shower cake

    I personally don't understand how a full grown adult could think Dinersaur could have wings hahahahaa!!!!! But! The cakes are always a hit at a party! If you go on instagram you can get inspired by their quality. I've had questions with my orders and received a quick response through email. I've never walked in to hang out just to pick up my cakes. This is a bakery if it's not obvious. Lol

    The Dinersaur is a cute themed bakery that is set up to grab and go. Two of us stopped by during our time in Phoenix and sampled a few of their treats - the chocolate banana bread, dinosaur cookie, and the raspberry jam linzer. Overall the treats were tasty (especially the linzer!) and the overall theme and vibe was super cute. Service was helpful and friendly. I'd recommend stopping by if you are in the area and need a treat!

    Banoffee cup :)
    Judy L.

    The cutest bakery/ cafe! The decor is full of dinosaurs and cute animals as well as on their pastries! I ordered the Banoffee cup and it is TO DIE FOR! All the flavors just work well together and if you're a banana fan, you will love this item! The Staff were also super polite and helpful when choosing from the many delicious pastry/ dessert options! Please stop by for a yummy sweet treat if you're ever in the area!

    I wanted to try a bit of everything.

    See all

    After a wonderful meal next door at The Sicilian Butcher, our waiter suggested some dessert, but…read morelittle did I know they had a whole bakery connected to the restaurant. I can't speak on the customer service as we never left our table and our waited just walked over and got what we needed. We were pretty stuffed from our massive meal, but we decided on sharing a cup of gelato just to satisfy our sweet tooth. I peeked inside as our table was right at a little walkway from the restaurant to the bakery. Gelato is just one of many things they serve here. They also have all your typical Italian desserts. Cakes like tiramisu, pastries like Italian flag cookies, cookies like Italian wedding cookies, cannolis of different varieties, and of course gelato. What was suggested to us if we wanted gelato was the hazelnut flavor. I was expecting a little cup for the 6 of us just to get a taste, but what he brought over was a massive serving. I don't know how many scoops it was or even how much we even paid, but we all got plenty with some even left behind. Now this gelato was life changing. Probably the best I've had in the states. I know it's gotta be way better in Italy, but I'll take what I can when I can. Think of a Ferrero Rocher but in gelato form. It was delicious and I couldn't get enough of it. It wasn't overly sweet and it had a little crunch with bits of chocolate and hazelnuts. My sweet tooth was extremely satisfied after having dessert here. I have literally been thinking about that gelato since I left Phoenix. Luckily this company has locations in Texas so I will definitely be seeking out this gelato soon.

    As a born and raised New Yorker, I take food very seriously... and Italian pastries even more so…read more Just before Christmas, I was traveling from New Yawk (visiting my parents) back to Phoenix to attend a family dinner at my partner's parent's home in Scottsdale. While I was still in NYC with my family on XMas eve eve, it hit me... I need to bring something besides wine everytime I go to their home. Nor a Southern dish. I wanted something unapologetically New Yaek. And what's more New Yawk than a box of classic Italian cookies? After asking a few Yelp friends where to find the best Italian cookies in Phoenix, The Sicilian Baker kept coming up. I called them last minute on Christmas Eve eve, having never been there before, totally sight unseen. First of all, their voicemail is hilarious. Truly. If you do nothing else, call just to hear it. It will instantly make you want to order something. Once I reached a real person, I explained my situation, that I wouldn't be able to come in beforehand, I needed a beautiful cookie tray for about 14-16 people, and I had a few must have preferences. Without hesitation, they said, "We got you." I was assured it would be ready when I landed on Xmas eve. Sure enough, after my partner picked me up from the airport, we headed straight to The Sicilian Baker. Parking right out front, a huge plus. As soon as you pull in, you're greeted with Frank Sinatra playing, not just inside, but even in the parking lot. It sets the tone immediately. We walked in, gave my name, and within minutes a lovely young person brought out my tray. Ten minutes later, we were on our way. Easy. Efficient. Warm service that made me actually grab a small box of cookies to drop my besties home on the way outta there. I didn't even realize at first that there's a sit down restaurant next door where you can relax and enjoy something. Great to know for next time ;) . Now, let's talk about the cookies. Yes, they are on the pricier side, but every single dollar was worth it. The tray was robust. Classic Italian pastries across the board like lobster tails, tri-colored almond cakes, cannolis, and all the favorites you hope for when you're trying to impress a room full of potential inlaws. And impress it did. The moment I walked in with that tray, it was a hit. People were already claiming which pastries they wanted, plotting what they'd take home, and hovering before dinner was even finished. There was more than enough for 16 people, grand is the only word for it, which is my style 1,000%. To this day, they're still talking about those cookies which makes me phenomenally proud (and humbled). I say this in all my reviews, "I hate almost everything. I'm discerning. I'm critical. And when something truly represents what I stand for - quality, authenticity, and heart, I will shout it from the rooftops". The Sicilian Baker delivered New York level excellence in Phoenix! Do not walk, runswiftly to this place if you need a gift, a show stopping dessert, or simply want to treat yourself. I cannot wait to go back. Highly, highly recommended.

It's smooth, rich without being too heavy, and the flavor actually develops as you eat it instead of just being one-note sweet. You can tell they take this part seriously. Leave it outside the fridge for an hour and watch that cheesecake melt on your tongue crystals (if you have the patience for that) Their rotating monthly flavors keeps things interesting, and you're not just stuck with the same lineup every time. Out of what I tried, the banana pudding one was easily a standout--super nostalgic, creamy, and just done right without being overly sweet. The coconut one was also up there, more subtle but still really clean and flavorful. Love me some coconut! They also have a punch card system--buy 9 slices, get the 10th free--which is a nice touch. It lowkey turns into a mission because once you've tried one flavor, you kinda want to work your way through all of them anyway. Now...the downside. The customer service just isn't great. It's not aggressive or anything, just noticeably lacking. There's not much warmth or engagement--it feels pretty transactional. For a place that clearly puts effort into their product, you'd expect at least a baseline level of hospitality, and it's just not really there. So overall, if you're going to Banhams, go for the cheesecake. The rotating flavors keep it fresh, the quality is legit, and it's definitely worth trying. Just don't expect much from the service side, and you'll enjoy it a lot more.
