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
The cutest bakery in town! My daughter loves dinosaurs so finding this bakery was a hidden gem. Not far from downtown phoenix and theres plenty of free parking. Plus everything tastes as good as it looks!
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!
I just want to say first and foremost, Genius! Genius name, concept, and goods! This little spot is tucked away in a plaza with a huge parking lot adjacent. Cute neutrally decorated spot. Honestly the biggest draw was the dinosaur cookies. When you're traveling with dinosaur obsessed kids this is the place to spot. They also had other baked goods such as a peanut butter pie that we also purchased. We also explored their non baked goods merch. Very cute. Staff was polite and friendly. Overall great little spot.
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!
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!
Have stopped in several times with Son after lunch near the Hamburger Works. They accept credit cards only, which means no cash change. Today we had the Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies and Oatmeal Cookies for later. They had other small bites including pastry, pie and cake slices for grab and go. People are friendly and product is fresh. Never had a Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie before. Definitely fresh and tasty, about $3 each. Happy to support an independent small local business! Believe the space used to be part of or next to Mary Coyle"s Ice Cream Parlor. That was also a dessert treat we use to go to as kids with my parents in the 1950's.
Calling all dinosaur lovers, his place is a must stop! The banana bread is not only adorable but also delish! Staff is friendly, space is small but they make it work. Put this on your itinerary when in Phoenix.
Stopped into the Dinersaur at the request of my four-year old cousin, who was tickled by the name and the theme. There is a small, but mouthwatering, selection of baked items available (until they sell out for the day). We went at lunch so they were out of a few items, but we were lucky enough to snag the last breakfast cake (layers of poppyseed with a cream filling and lemon curd filling). We also got the cilantro spinach pasta salad, which was excellent, and the poblano veggie sandwich. Thanks for having vegetarian and vegan options! Note the diner is counter service only. There's no seating -- although it would have been nice if they had a couple tables outside.
