Popped by here for an afternoon of studying and got an iced hojicha latte with 10g of honey syrup…read more The atmosphere is lovely and open and the barista who helped me was very sweet and communicative (they even added more honey for me after I'd drank half of it and the ice was melting). Also, the hojicha latte was perfect and the amount of sweetener was also perfect for me. I love that they let you customize it to your liking. I'm excited to come back and try their other drinks (although the hojicha was so good I also need it again)! And it's such a convenient location - right by UCD campus.

Frenzy Coffee Co. is a bright and modern coffee shop that stands out with its spacious layout and…read morecreative drink menu. We walked into a clean, welcoming interior with plenty of natural light and different seating options, making it a comfortable spot whether we were stopping by for a quick coffee or staying for a longer work session. The amount of seating and outlets makes it feel more like a true café space rather than just a grab-and-go coffee shop, and the layout encourages lingering without feeling like we were taking up space. The drinks are what make Frenzy more memorable, especially their specialty lattes with unique flavors. The pandan matcha latte was the highlight, combining the earthy flavor of matcha with the sweet, fragrant notes of pandan in a way that felt balanced rather than overly sugary. It is a fun twist on a classic matcha drink, and the pandan flavor actually comes through instead of getting lost behind the sweetness of the milk. The miso caramel latte is another interesting option, adding a subtle savory element to the caramel that gives the drink a complexity you do not often find at a standard coffee shop. We appreciated that the drinks can be customized for sweetness, since some of the more creative flavors can easily become too sweet at other cafés. The espresso-based drinks also hold up well, making the menu feel approachable whether you prefer traditional coffee or something more experimental. The drinks are well crafted, and the attention to flavor balance across the menu suggests that the baristas know what they are doing. The staff was friendly and the overall atmosphere felt relaxed and easygoing. The space feels thoughtfully designed, with enough variety in seating to accommodate different needs, from cushioned chairs for relaxing to high tables for working. The flow of the cafe stayed comfortable even when more people came in, and the noise level remained manageable, making it a good spot for both conversation and focused work. Frenzy Coffee Co. is the kind of place that works well for studying, catching up with friends, or spending a few hours getting work done. The combination of good drinks, comfortable seating, and a welcoming environment makes it worth returning to explore more of the menu.

The spot looks clean and welcoming. We were greeted right when we stepped into the store. Staff was very friendly. The coffee was pretty good. It actually tasted like coffee. I got a Mexican mocha. My kid got a matcha. There's lots of other places that serve coffee but it just tasted like milk. I would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area. I'm kind of sad that I live so far away from it. I'd be there every week. Bonus: they have food trucks in the parking lot. So grab some food while you're at it.

As a self acclaimed coffee "snob" in-training it was a huge plus to see them roasting their own beans. I knew the coffee was gonna be good. I got the vanilla lavender earl grey cold foam latte which was a seasonal drink and it was very good. I also got a savory breakfast croissant which I gobbled down before I could take a picture. They had plenty of seating areas so great for students to study or just a place to catch up with friends. Will be back to try a hot coffee next time.

The space is larger than I anticipated, which was nice. I checked out their specials and opted to order their olive latte (it was made with olive oil). I was hoping they had some type of pastry, but alas, nothing except a few prepackaged bars. Once I got my latte, I took a seat. The latte was OK. I thought I may be able to taste/at least smell the olive oil undertones, but didn't. The latte was good. Will I be back? Maybe.

pachamama is located in downtown davis on a corner lot, and i've tried them a few times. parking…read morecan be difficult, but that's kinda everywhere in downtown. on my first visit i tried their pandan matcha. they do have seasonal drinks that rotate pretty fast, so i love that there's always something new to try. their pandan matcha was sooooo good, a perfect balance of each flavor. i went back for their gingerbread brulee a few months later, and again was pleasantly surprised. their drinks are so creamy, and on the sweeter side i'd say. most recently i tried their salted dulce de leche latte, and this was by far my favorite. you could taste the caramel so well, and i did like that i could taste the salt too, it offered a nice balance. i will say, out of the three times that i've visited, the baristas and cashiers all seem a little rude? and not very friendly? i thought it might've just been a one time thing, but it's happened every time where i go back and i'm standing in front of the counter waiting to order while the baristas and cashiers chat or sneak snarky looks. i do understand they might be college students, but i would love it if they were a little more friendly.

If you are a fan of Molly Tea in the bay area, this place is for you! It's the exact same concepts…read morewith nearly the exact same menu, and the drinks taste very similar. All the drinks are so good, you can't go wrong with any of them. They are all willing to remake drinks if it's not to your liking. There are a lot of tables and a great place to study. They do get busy so you may not find a table. Parking is two hours and they do enforce it. Make sure you set an alarm if you drove here!

I often go to the Molly Tea in the South Bay Area. After trying to convince my friend from Davis to…read morevisit the bay, she told me there was already a Molly tea in Davis. So ofc when I was in town, I had to try it. This "Molly Tea" is not the same as the Bay Area's (no store listed in Davis on the official Molly Tea website) and is also known as "jasmine tea house" on Google Maps which confused me. Walking in there was a very unpleasant smell, almost like bleach/chlorine mixed with jasmine tea fragrance. (Not great!) We sat outside. However the drinks were not bad. Not as "presentable" as the authentic Molly Tea (no fancy straw or seal), but the osmanthus oolong milk tea was on par taste wise. Overall, it's a good "knock off molly tea" and satisfied our boba craving. It's good enough for Davis but def lacks the polish of real Molly Tea's.

Is kava an acquired taste that I'm too plebeian to understand? I gave this place a visit recently…read moreand did not find their drinks appealing at all. The Cloudbreaker immediately met my taste buds with bitterness and then left my tongue completely numb for several minutes. Perhaps those sensations would have paid off if they were followed by a calming or THC-like effect, but I didn't experience any change in mental state. The comfortable atmosphere saves this establishment from 1 star. Dim lights, leather couches, chill music, and colorful tiki wall art make for a decent study spot or date night. However, if you're hanging out at a business, you gotta support it, and to support it, you gotta buy something -- I can't see myself buying anything kava-related with any ounce of enjoyment. Surely there must be some variation of a kava drink that tastes delightful. I don't want to spend any more money finding out though.

The gentleman who answered was kind, attentive, and made the process a breeze. The tea house itself is absolutely charming, cozy, elegant, and full of character. It's the perfect spot to dress up and indulge in a proper High Tea experience. We opted for the High Tea service, which included multiple pots of tea (two per person), perfectly baked scones served with heavenly house-made Devonshire cream, delicate finger sandwiches, a selection of French desserts, and fresh, seasonal fruit. Everything was delightful, the scones with cream were divine, the curried and garden sandwiches were flavorful and fresh, and the teas were beautifully brewed and fragrant. This wasn't just a meal, it was a full sensory experience. The ambiance, the presentation, and the attention to detail made it a truly memorable outing. We left feeling pampered, delighted, and already planning our next visit. Service was fantastic. Highly recommend.

I was probably smacked at least 3 times lol High Tea service comes with: Scones with Devonshire cream and jam 5 types of finger sandwiches 3 types of desserts Small variety of fruit (some of ours looked old and dry like the apple slices) 4 pots of tea for 2 people (I believe each person gets to choose 2 flavors each) Highlights for me: Cranberry orange scone with Devonshire cream Cucumber cream cheese sandwiches Curry chicken salad sandwiches Bella coola tea Service was great. I wished each teapot was labeled or had some sort of tag to indicate which was which. Overall, a great first high tea experience.
