Jurassic Magic Coffee

Weird vibes. The barista had a line of people while chatting with the customer ahead of me. He was making drinks simultaneously so I chalked it up to them managing the line. When it got to me, he quickly took my order and then the two orders after me before making my drink. The charm for the previous customer was absolutely gone and he seemed pretty uninterested in any small talk with me. I love the midcity location and since this one is closer to my place, I figured I’d check it out . I was going to stay and read but the energy was so oddly tense. I just left, despite paying for parking. To top it off, my cappuccino was sour. I saw another posters comment about subtle racism and while I can’t attest to that, as the only black person in line, it did feel like general dismissiveness. My take on this is its proximity to MacArthur park potentially makes the space a little hostile to people who don’t look like the baristas. There’s a psychology study in there somewhere.

I ended up at this coffee shop by accident since the dog with long hair picture that they have at the window catch my eye and it didn’t disappoint, it’s such a vibe here and it has personality, I love trying out new coffee places, the service was greats, the cashier had good recommendations and he was really friendly. I loved the coffee, strong and not too sweet.

Honestly, I was disappointed. Their website was deceiving. Their cafe is nothing like is shown on the website. Yes the barista was very welcoming. The place was empty. He mentioned his boss had asked if any "Mexican" customers had arrived. I would say Hispanic since we Hispanics are from different Latin American backgrounds. I hope everyone else has a better experience. The add they did on Instagram claimed the owner was A Honduras owner. I just felt lied too. 2 coffees 2 breads 32.00 I expected to see Art or books from Honduras. I expected the owner to be proud of his culture but I saw nothing of that. I saw the same normal coffees and Lattes younl would get at a Starbucks. I expected to see some coffee drinks from Honduras or dinosaurs related. I guess it was just me expecting too much.

I know living in Ktown means you are surrounded by coffee shops, but this one is UNIQUE!! Not emphasizing on foams, syrups, or even most of the drinks are not too sweet which I appreciate. Not cheesy, not watery, not too much milk. This shop puts focus on quality rather than the add-ons. The coffee always came right on point, the beans are fresh. If you want a true coffee or a good cold brew, check it out! My personal fav is the Magic Latte and Golden Album cold brew. Highly recommend

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.
