I would not be coming back here due to the sense of entitlement and lack of social awareness from all three ladies. No one greeted me when I first walked in, I continue to order and once my drink is ready, they didn't call my name or say your drink is ready...nothing. I had to go up there and ask five minutes after I ordered, "is this drink mine?". And one of the ladies who did to answer me said yeah with an attitude and then proceeded to roll her eyes. The customer service is trash. The guy who walks in after me proceeded to get a warm welcome and asked how he was doing today. read more

This is definitely one of my favorite go to places for a great coffee or matcha. Never had a bad experience EVER, the staff is great and always up to give recommendations or answer any questions. The environment is even better, very relaxed even when busy. The pastry's were AMAZING and very buttery and flaky. All in all definitely would recommend to anyone read more

Great ambiance. Loved the music and all the plants. Lots of outdoor seating. Interesting book selection for purchase. Great drip coffee. I tried the Kenya blend with almond milk. Next time will try the sister location next door for the food. Tip for management: could use more comfortable seating options. Unless thats the point ;) read more

Jurassic Magic - This place passes the vibes check - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

A solid spot if I'm in the area. Not something I'd seek out since they weren't friendly but a good neighborhood spot if you're just looking for something quick. There was no line when I went and they had a good amount of seating outside. I noticed they roasted their own beans too which is cool. read more

This is a cool and unexpected spot! Stopped by to work a little and have a little coffee while waiting for a friend to be free from work. The drinks are creatively named. I had the Gentle Giant which was a nicely balanced drink that went down smoothly without harsh notes or flavors. The service was friendly and it seemed the baristas enjoyed working there because sometimes service can be fine but also unwelcoming. This was not like that. I'd never been here but the baristas made me feel like a regular. Walking into the other section of the coffee shop felt like walking into a completely different place. There's seating in this section but it can get pretty full. There is additional outside sidewalk seating, but there are no outlets out there so make sure your laptop is fully charged. read more

I got the Friends4 Ever and it was very good. Would be better with a some sweetener but that's just me. It did taste very good still without. I also went next door and got a bacon egg jalapeño breakfast burrito that I thought was one of the best I've had. Nice service and cute place. Very popular, the line was out the door. read more

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this small coffee shop. Very charming! The barista behind the counter was working their butt off to keep the long line smoothly moving. The espresso was delicious quick and affordable! When I am in the area, I will definitely be returning here. read more

Love love love this place. The staff is super friendly. I live in Venice and I purposely drive to this coffee shop because of how awesome everyone is and the coffee is great. Little story time. I only use to drink coffee for the caffeine to get me through school and I never believe those TikTok's coffee people that would be like I'm getting notes of " insert flavor ". My first time I walk in I see the coffee for sale and it was like notes of fig and dark chocolate. I chuckle to myself and order my usual iced Americano. I walk out and take my first sip and I'm perplexed by the flavor, I continue walking and take another sip and I'm actually getting notes of fig and dark chocolate. I literally do about face and walk back in and tell them this is the best coffee I've ever had. read more

Food 5/5 - Got coffee and scone here - both of which delicious Ambiance 5/5 - such a cool spot, looks like an art museum but they also have this patio filled with plants that was relaxing to be in. Very interesting what they've done with the place Service 4/5 - order and pay right away then you pick up your own order. They were timely. read more

Tasty drip coffee and the prices were great. If you're in the area, I recommend it. It's sort of a scene and I'm old. Luckily I'm too old to care about those things but it was fun to people watch. read more

coffee is just ok but the ambiance is top tier. i love that they have a bodega type food cafe next door. since my first visit i've tried their specialty magic latte (which was really ok) and other latte with white chocolate that was a bit better but not the best coffee i've ever had. the veggie sandwich i got next door was pretty good. i got it on ciabatta bread instead of sourdough. excellent decision if i do say so myself. yum! the folks that work on both sides are super friendly and helpful. i absolutely love the indoor outdoor space. nice green and not stuffy at all. there aren't a ton of outlets or seating inside but it's worth getting there early and picking the perfect spot. read more

Lovely all around! Super friendly service, and the persimmon berry cake was one of the best coffee shop pastries I've ever had. The evergreen daze drink was very refreshing, and the iced matcha was strong but it seems like they use pretty average grade matcha. I got everything to go but the seating area looked really nice to hang out in. I love that they have unique drinks and would definitely come back to try others. read more

This place is awesome! First time here and will definitely keep returning. The music playlist was sick and just gave off chill vibes. The service was great the two girls working the counter were very friendly and helpful when asked anything. Now for the best part! This coffee was amazing. I had a triple cappuccino with a strawberry filled almond croissant and my wife had a drip with milk and cinnamon and a cinnamon roll. ALL of it was delicious. The coffee had FLAVOR !!! The seating areas are also very nice. There is outdoor seating and then a space in the back surrounded by art and music. Love this spot! read more

I had a wonderful experience at this café! The coffee was absolutely perfect--rich, flavorful, and brewed to perfection. The service was just as great! The staff members were very friendly. I'll definitely be coming back :) I got an iced magic latter with oat and it was very delicious! read more

I really like an ambient. A lot of glass mirrors and decor elements create chill vibe, also they have some nice rare books. Speaking about the menu, I tried flat white and it was solid. read more

Was looking forward to finally visiting this spot. Got the espresso tonic (they only had the orange flavor available). Was really watered down and bitter. The reason for the low stars is firstly there's a step when walking through the hall of mirrors, and no sign about this, so on the way out I slipped and twisted my ankle. Thankfully only a twist but should really have some sort of sign. Secondly, the staff was actively unfriendly haha. The place is nicely decorated but the coffee and lack of kindness made this a one time visit. There's so many amazing / artistic coffee spots in LA, the aesthetic alone doesn't make up for this. read more

One of my favorite coffee shops in LA. We have some others that are closer to us and easier to get to, but we'll still head over to Jurassic if we want to sit a while or just want one of their signature coffee drinks. Street parking. read more

As of yesterday, I made my last purchase at Jurassic Magic after going there almost daily for the past three years. I live within walking distance, and for a long time the convenience made it seem reasonable. It no longer is. The price increases have been extreme and unjustified. A single black espresso has gone from $3.50 to $4.50 and now to $5.50. This is for a house blend that is often bitter and inconsistently dialed in. There has been no improvement in quality. A gallon of gas now costs less than a single espresso shot here. Let the absurdity of that sit. As the shop has grown in popularity, there has been a clear disregard for the majority Black and Brown neighborhood it operates within. Customers regularly block driveways and double park in the alley, making it difficult for residents to leave their homes. One of my neighbors needs unobstructed access to take her mother to chemotherapy. Customers also routinely park on designated no parking days meant for street sweeping, preventing the city from cleaning the street every Monday and Tuesday. The result is visible. Built up debris, flies, and waste accumulate along the curb for weeks at a time. Residents have asked staff if signage could be posted to discourage blocking alleys or violating parking rules. The request was declined. Maintaining a certain aesthetic appears to take priority over basic consideration for the surrounding community. The only consistently good thing here is the staff, who are genuinely kind and professional. The cishet male owner, however, is maybe one of the rudest business owners I have encountered. His behavior reads as dismissive and profit driven, with little regard for customers or neighbors. The community programming rhetoric feels hollow. There is no meaningful collaboration with people who are actually from this place, which makes the branding especially cynical. This is how displacement happens. Not all at once, but through small and repeated choices that prioritize image, trendiness, and revenue over access, cleanliness, and accountability. The coffee is fine. I have had better elsewhere. I will be taking my money there and encouraging all my friends and colleagues that go here to do the same. read more

My partner and I have an ongoing "coffee tour" where we check out a new coffee shop every week.. we've been doing this for the past year. Out of the MANY we've tried, Jurassic Magic is my number one, next to Stereoscope. Aesthetically the place is extremely vibey.. mirrored hallway, retro coffee table books, outdoor benches under tons of greenery, vinyl music.. it's so fun and relaxed. I could find myself getting lost here on my laptop/work for hours. Then you have the coffee menu, sooo different from most of the places we've tried and there's a good variety. Kieran or Kierick (I'm not sure if I misheard his name) was so warm and personable. I never tried pistachio milk before and he pored us some testers. When we got the coffee I accidentally spilled it in the back so after cleaning it up, he made me a new one... he was so nice I'll be coming back time and time again. Such a great place and very LA!! 10/10 read more

I love stopping by to relax in the garden area and just drinking a quick coffee. It's a must when you are in the area.

Coffee flavors are delicious. And the staff is welcoming. My only concern is the outdoor decor, I've been visiting this place for months and it seems as if no one is tending to the plants. The Atmosphere is my favorite part, please make watering plants part of someone's opening/closing shift. read more

A favorite coffee place. The shop is decorated beautifully with thoughtful, fun touches. Parking isn't great but we've always been able to find it. The drinks are wonderful and the pastry/food selection is always solid too. Even when lines are long, the staff keep it moving pretty well. Love this place! Oh, and do yourself a favor and get yourself a breakfast burrito next door. read more

This is a veryyyy cute coffee shop. The perfect place to meet up with a friend, coworker, or out-of-towners. Will you be getting the best cup of Joe in the city? No; the drinks are nothing to write home about. But, they more than make up for it in service and ambiance! I'll be back here for sure:) read more

what a cool spot. plants, books, and good matcha... and lots of color! I loved the different rooms here. you have some outdoor seating & then a mirrored hallway that takes you to the plant area with more seats. Randomly came here on a Sunday before driving home. I got an iced oat matcha tea latte & the vegan chickpea curry pastry. They have a large pastry case with lots of goodies. the pastry was so so good, I almost got one for the road lol. The matcha was yummy, next time I'd add some sweetener! staff was friendly, you can tell they all get along well. excited to come back here and try new items. read more

Pro: outdoor patio, aesthetic. Grow: seating a bit uncomfortable. Another cafe with a great outdoor patio. I loved the overall aesthetic and service at this cafe. There is ample seating both indoors and out. I would highly recommend snagging a seat inside. However, There are limited outlets and the seats are not very comfortable. They have a variety of pastries but I didn't get to try them. There is also ample street parking. Drink: I got the signature "magic latte" and it was tasty but not very magic lol I was expecting a pop of color or a wow factor. They should consider adding something to it to make it stand out. The rest of the menu items seem interesting, I will definitely be back to try them. Overall, this is a lovely cafe with outdoor seating. read more

The latte. The friendly service. The thoughtfully designed instaworthy space. This whole place is a vibe from the moment you walk in. Like a little tucked away oasis from the dreary streets.

Jurassic Magic - "Basic" with cold foam, orange zest and cacao nibs - latte version with added milk - summer special - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Cute coffee shop in Mid City with a magical secret patio. From the outside looking in, Jurassic Magic Coffee is pretty unassuming. There are cute retro cafe tables and a beautiful pastry case on the counter. But tucked away a few steps past the coffee bar is a small shop with artisanal goods, such as ceramics, jewelry, and knit tops. The best part is a beautiful open air seating area set underneath a lush garden backdrop. It was pretty amazing enjoying my coffee in the quiet dappled sunlight. I highly recommend the Bright Eyes, which is perfect for cold brew lovers who like the refreshing yet rich quality of the brewing technique. The staff were very quick and friendly. Street parking available. read more

I love the hot magic latte with pistachio milk! It is so creamy and the flavor profile is well balanced with smooth espresso! I really enjoy the back patio area for hanging out or studying, although note that their space is a bit small, but there is outdoor seating near the entrance. Service here is always great and friendly. During my first few times I always ask staff what they recommended and they were helpful. One con is that parking is a bit hard in this area, you'll have to find street parking which can be crowded since it's adjacent to homes. read more
