    Ooookay hot coffee shop! I recently saw Jurassic Magic on a list of great caffeination stations in Los Angeles so had to check them out. Under the Speciality drinks, I had to try their Magic Latte for $8 plus an extra 50 cents for an oat milk sub! I loved this drink with it's mix of clove, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg ~ yum. I also got,per suggestions from you Yelpers (thanks!), the Jurassic Magic Cold Brew ($6.50) which I added vanilla syrup for 50 cents to. Liked it but it didn't hit as much as that Magic Latte. They also have a bunch of baked goods, sourced from Sugar Bloom Bakery. The Gluten-free devil's food donut is $5.50 here and I love it. I understand they may be starting to bake some of their own pastries, as well, Overall, glad I popped into Jurassic Magic and love their new-ish food spot Convi next door.

    my regular : iced cinnamon syrup latte with sweet cold foam

    i've loved you guys for over two years now, but it's a bit ludicrous to be charging six dollars for the tiniest donut. Latte($8) and donut($6) came out to be $14. How is a donut almost the same price as my beverage???? THE PRICING MAKES NO SENSE. also, why did you guys remove the cinnamon syrup from the mid city location but still have it at the MacArthur park one...having lavender instead kinda sucks...basic like every other cafe in LA. ugh it's so unfortunate. another thing that makes no sense. Come on owners be better...

    We got the bright eyes cold brews and the magic latte. The cold brew felt a bit watered down to me. I wish I could taste the flavor of the beans more. The magic latte was good, but it also didn't strike me as very flavorful in terms of the coffee. The spices were not strong but still overpowered the coffee taste. For those who want to do work on their laptop, there's a nice bigger area in the back of the cafe which is super cool! The ambiance/vibes were very hip.

    Super cute place! Love that it's next to convi, yumm. I love that they have a back area that's well decorated & there were seatings! Will be back to study one day. I love the decors & vibe! The staffs were really sweet! Street parking

    Magic Latte $7.50

    My friend told me about a cute little coffee shop named Jurassic Magic and I was intrigued. Plus, they're next door to Convi, which serves great sandwiches! My friend recommended the Magic Latte, and when I asked the barista for a suggestion, she also recommended it! I knew it was the drink for me, but debated between hot and iced. She suggested hot, and it was the perfect choice. I really enjoyed the Magic Latte - while I didn't get any magical powers, I loved the caffeine kick and the delicious taste. I will definitely be back for more magical lattes!

    I've been to Jurassic Magic a couple of times and yet haven't reviewed it until now. Every time I've been, the lush backyard never fails to impress me. It's always nice to come here in the quiet hours of the morning and spend some time reading. Staff are always friendly and I never have to wait long for my drinks, even though there's always been a line every time I've been here. There is wifi available, but this place isn't really a remote work spot- they only have low tables inside and not a lot of seating. I've gotten both coffee and matcha here before and both are great. They have a lot of drink specials which I always make sure to order.

    Jurassic Magic had been on my list of cafes to try for some time, and after two visits I can safely say I'm a fan! I appreciate the personable and welcoming employee interactions, and their menu offers your standard espresso-based and matcha drinks along with their own unique concoctions. I tried their Fall Basics drink, which was an iced Americano garnished with cacao nibs, a chocolate-yuzu cold foam, and citrus zest. It was a refreshing beverage that I consumed quickly, and the flat white I tried on a subsequent visit was well-crafted. I was impressed by the garden seating area that is located in the rear section of the cafe. It feels like a hidden oasis as you walk past the vinyl recordings and other merchandise on sale. There are also various tables lining the sidewalk in front of the shop.

    MAGICAL NEIGHBORHOOD MID-CITY CAFE Lucky to have this café within walking distance, definitely a local gem. PARKING Can be tough on weekends, especially between 9-11 a.m. It's a busy residential corner with limited spots, so plan accordingly. PASTRY The gluten-free chocolate doughnut is ridiculously good: rich, moist, and honestly better than Sidecar. Rating: 5/5 COFFEE The cappuccino quality depends on who's behind the machine. I prefer mine strong with more espresso than milk, but the last one leaned a little too milky. Rating: 4/5 OVERALL Don't miss the backyard patio, it's got the best vibe. The striped umbrellas out front are great for chatting with locals, dog-watching, or soaking up some sun. Staff is warm and welcoming, which seals the deal. RATING: 5/5 HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    Walked in and the environment was so cool!! There was a great space in the back with greenery and seated spots. The store next door was a market that also served small dishes and snacks. I loved my experience and the service was so kind. I can't wait to come back again to study.

    This truly is a little pocket of magic tucked away in the corner of my neighborhood that brings me so much joy every time I come. The place itself has great outdoor seating, and is always such a nice way to meet cool people and cute dogs in the community, but if you go in thru the looking glass in the back you'll find yourself in a truly magical outdoor hang space that is also an installation for local vendors. The coffee is expertly prepared using great beans and the specialty and seasonal drinks are always a hit. I'd be remiss not to mention how lovely the staff are. Everyone not only cares about what they're doing, but they genuinely seem to like working with each other and recognize their value in the community. I've been coming here since they opened and will continue to invite this magic into my life at every opportunity I get. Thanks ya'll!

    Great quality coffee & lots of delicious food & pastry items (their ham & cheese croissants are perfect) Super cute spot with lots of indoor seating & great vibes if you want to socialize over a cup of coffee I had the Gentle Giant & it had a strong herbal taste from the cardamom which gave it a unique flavor Would definitely come back & try a different one of their specialty coffees

    Magic latte
    Abby L.

    This spot was right near my motel. Hidden a bit but worth the walk. Staff were very friendly, the latte was a tad milky for my taste but still was delicious. Loved the hint of spice. They also have a variety of pastries, the chocolate croissants are very flaky.

    Magic Latte & Magic Matcha
    Danielle J.

    The service was very good. All staff was super friendly. The vibes of the places were great! I loved the back patio with all the plants but seated is limited and first come first serve. Parking is difficult since it's on the corner of a busy street but if you find street parking in the neighborhood and don't mind a walk you should be good. My friend and I got the Magic Latte with oat milk and Magic Matcha. We really enjoyed the coffee taste for the latte and the nutty-ness of the milk. As for the matcha, I couldn't really taste any matcha. Also the "magic" flavoring was not too forward in either drinks so we couldn't really tell the difference. We also got the spinach danishes which were delicious and a brownie cookie that was a perfect touch of sweetness. We give this rating a 3/5. Maybe one day we'll try the different location

Many of the smaller artisinal coffee shops close around 2-3 pm. Luckily, Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Co. Is not one of those early closers, and I'm so glad I was able to come here after work at 6pm before my long drive back to San Fernando Valley. Just the small sample that I got today already made me want to come back here. I got a cup of Americano made from Mount Haraz medium roast coffee from Yemen, and it was just so delicious with its slightly earthy but pleasant flavor. There are a lot of other unique coffee drinks from Mufawar ( Mount Haraz medium roast + cardamom) to Sheeba (Qishr coffee beans) with ginger & cinammon. And coffee is not the only thing on the menu that can take you on an adventure. The desert and pastries are all very tantalizing, from Saffron Milk Cake to Honeycomb Khaliat Al-Nahl cake to what I got, which is the very delicious Pistachio Kunafa Cheesecake. It was a real treat for anyone who wants to take their sweet tooth beyond the basic same ol' flavors you tend to see in majority of coffee shops! Additionally, the shop has a gorgeous interior decor with its high ceilings, beautiful murals, and exquisite presentation of your tasty treats! Love the tray the used for my Americano and dessert! I'll be sure to come back here, especially since it does open late!

Unfortunately, I think the vibe is completely off with this type of food, and I think it's hurting their customer base (I.e, there's a sports watching day, and live DJ?, but the food is definitely more for upscale vibes). I also didn't know they have a rotating menu with different chefs, so when I came in craving for something like steak frites and find out the don't have it even though their sample menu lists it on their website, it kind of throws my mood a little. Moreover, their wine list is not extensive considering it's a wine bar, and wine mentioned in their name :) Anyways I've digressed. With this special menu, I ordered the scallop tostada and maitake taco. The scallops were very fresh, and it was a very well balanced dish. I would totally order this again! The maitake mushroom was exploding with flavors, though I find the sauce a little too salty for my taste. If I came here just for food, I'd come back and try new things!

Another criteria they were looking for was a nice place to hang out. We ended up deciding on Green Table Cafe because my daughter said that this cafe sold smoothies and it was a cute place based on the pictures she saw online. Once we got to the cafe, it had an inviting vibe and the gentleman behind the counter was friendly, but I wasn't a fan of the Chocotino smoothie and the table we sat at was not cleaned prior to us sitting there. Green Table Cafe is located in Los Angeles specifically on Pico Blvd. and Stearns Drive. It's next to an India Spices & Groceries store and it's across the street from CVS. Parking is mainly street parking and we found a metered parking spot across the street that didn't cost too much. Once we entered the cafe, we were greeted by small red car that someone could win if you participate in their $20/ticket raffle and a welcome greeting from the gentleman behind the counter. It's definitely a cute and inviting place with a large painted sentence "Love what you do Do it with LOVE" on the wall behind the counter. There are other inspirational wall art scattered around the restaurant. There are floral decorations throughout, wooden slat ceiling, natural light, and other accents that match the vibe. There are round marble tables with blue velvet and blue plastic chairs, a skinny wooden table with a sofa, and there are covered outdoor seating. Not sure if the gentlemen behind the counter was the owner or manager, but he was customer service oriented and was friendly to every customer who entered the cafe. My review is solely based on the smoothie I ordered because that's all I experienced. If we ever visit again, I would like to try their food and desserts because the desserts and pastries looked enticing. The description of their savory food on their menu made them sound delicious, but I won't know until I try. Based on its name, the verbiage on the menu, and what I drank, it appears Green Table Cafe is for the healthy conscious consumer. Their menu consists of coffee drinks, smoothies, superfood bowls, salads, and burgers/paninis. The words gluten-free, kale, quinoa, acai, hemp milk, and mint extract hearken to someone with a vegan diet. I'm a carnivore and I like to eat whatever I enjoy, so I'm probably not their target customer. I ordered their Chocotino smoothie and I wasn't a fan from the first sip to the last. The Chocotino is made with almond milk, banana, cacao, protein powder, rolled oats, almond yogurt, dark chocolate, peppermint oil, and goji berries. It leaned heavily on a peppermint taste and when I let my daughter taste it, she said it reminded her of a York peppermint patty candy. I definitely was not a fan and I almost brought it back to exchange, but I kept hoping it would taste better. I stirred it with my straw, but it didn't change my disdain for this smoothie. My kiddos got the smoothies they craved and a place that was a cool place to hang out. I didn't enjoy my smoothie, but that's what parents do. We make sacrifices for our kids.

I also enjoyed a Madagascar vanilla latte and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Let me tell you, the breakfast burrito was fantastic! The eggs were cooked to perfection, and the flavors blended beautifully. A special shout-out to Annika, who recommended the vanilla latte--it truly was heavenly! They use house-made vanilla syrup, which elevated the drink to a whole new level. While we didn't order it, I must mention the BLT that the table next to us had.
