Dumb Starbucks parodies the real coffee shop

A parody of Starbucks called Dumb Starbucks gave away free coffee this weekend in Los Angeles.

The store is very similar to Starbucks except it has the word "dumb" in front of it.

A Feb. 7 tweet from @DumbStarbucks announced the store was open at 1802 Hillhurst Ave. in Los Angeles.

A spokesman for Starbucks told the Wall Street Journal that Dumb Starbucks "obviously" has no affiliation with Starbucks. USA TODAY has reached out to Starbucks for comment.

Inside the Dumb Starbucks, the menu also looks very similar to the Starbucks menu, with the word "dumb" in front of the items, such as "Dumb Espresso" and "Dumb Frappuccino."

The coffee sizes are dumb tall, dumb grande and dumb venti.

The pleasantly condescending barista @dumbstarbucks informed me that they don't serve dumb trenta sized drinks. pic.twitter.com/GhtvgBalOy

There were even "dumb" versions of the CDs sold at Starbucks.

Should I open it to hear what's on it? #DumbNoraJones duets. @dumbstarbuckspic.twitter.com/ZtRcTwyu1m

According to tweets, people waited for an hour for their free Dumb Starbucks coffee.

It's a 1 hour wait outside the #DumbStarbucks in #LosFeliz. Still no word on who is behind the spoof #KPCC. pic.twitter.com/P8maQC8UnS

It's unclear who is behind the coffee ! shop. Dumb Starbucks is able to use the Starbucks name and logo because it is technically "making fun" of Starbucks and is considered "a work of parody art," according to a Dumb Starbucks letter.

Dumb Starbucks store. Their legal FAQ is what impressed me. http://t.co/MkrdosOt7xpic.twitter.com/Zhb96WXJ6w

Under the law, Dumb Starbucks is not a coffee shop but an art gallery, the letter says. "The 'coffee' you're buying is considered the art," the letter says. "But that's for our lawyers to worry about. All you need to do is enjoy our delicious coffee!"
