    Ice cream flight

    Man, another Davis classic! Davis Creamery was my go-to dessert spot after exams or after dinner in downtown Davis. I even bought a pint once and that thing lasted me months -- absolute heaven. They make all of their ice cream in-house too. - Ice Cream Flight -- mango sorbet / coffee Oreo / cupcake / chocolate chip cookie dough; a great mix of flavors: refreshing fruity sorbet, chunky Oreo goodness, my go-to sprinkle-loaded cupcake flavor, and chewy cookie dough pieces One of the fun things they do is a flavor bracket where customers can vote on new combinations they want the creamery to experiment with. The shop also leans into a playful cow theme throughout the store from the merch to the ice cream cups themselves. Inside is mainly a counter area for ordering desserts and browsing merch, while there are a few tables outside on the patio to sit and enjoy your treats. Service is classic Davis-friendly -- welcoming, relaxed, and they're always happy to let you sample flavors! You really can't say you went to UC Davis without trying Davis Creamery. It's truly quintessential Davis.

    Chocolate Mint and Ube Ice Cream
    Joshua S.

    Davis Creamy serves as THE consistent, clean, and quality location for your ice cream fix. The patio area, trash bins, and interior were all well maintained during my late evening visit. Service was extremely welcoming and helpful when navigating the assortment of their many unique flavors, of which you are invited to sample 2 flavors. I tried the ube and chocolate mint flavors, both of great quality. Both flavors were rich, creamy, and didn't have the artificial taste that you sometimes taste at other stores. Servings are quite generous as my $4.50 single scoop was more like 2-3 scoops of ice cream. With prompt, friendly service, a clean location, generous portions, and quality ice cream at a decent price, Davis Creamery serves is a MUST visit for any Davis passerby.

    Stopped by this place on our way thru Davis looking for some ice cream. Overall it was pretty good! The prices were fair for the size scoop you get. I do like how they have lots of unique flavors, but because of this, I do wish you got more than 2 samples per person. I may have to come back some time to try the others they have. Service was also good as well, very friendly and helpful. Would recommend!

    ube and coffee oreo
    Ester L.

    The best ice cream in Davis 100%. Tried their ube and coffee oreo pint, they were soooo good. Ube flavor was not very strong but super on point, overall just insanely tasty. Texture is great too. Dunno about service or ambiance.

    Trifecta
    Mel J.

    Good ice cream. I sampled the pumpkin chai (good pumpkin flavor and spice) & ube (was ok, the ube flavor was there but kinda weak). I decided to get Trifecta instead. The ice cream was creamy and not too sweet! The mix of candy pieces (oreo, reeses) were plenty and they were still crunchy.

    Visited from out of town and came across Davis Creamery. Unfortunately, it was closed temporarily because of shortage in milk distribution. So we returned the next day and boy, were we glad! It was simply delicious and the prices were great! Well recommended!

    We had a long day at the soccer fields and wanted a special treat before heading out. I saw this place had rave reviews, and when we drove past there was a line out the door! Seems like it was true! So we waited and it did not disappoint. There are tons of special flavors and they did allow you to taste them if you were not sure. We stuck with the normal ones, but they were delicious nonetheless.

    Coffee Oreo (bottom) and Bridgadeiro (top)

    A must-stop if you're visiting Davis. Whether it's a pit-stop after touring UC Davis or a dessert stop after dinner downtown, you can't go wrong with coming here. You can feel the homemade, small mom-and-pop shop vibes when you enter, which is the BEST (but I'm biased because small business yogurt spots and creameries was my childhood)! I could have used a little more energy from the person working, but considering they had a group of 15-20 people before us and they were the only employee there, I give them credit. It's not easy working food service. And not everyone can fake it 'til they make it. Nonetheless, they let you sample 2 flavors (but if there's nobody behind you, one more wouldn't hurt) and they have a ton of cool ones to try, so choose your two wisely! I sampled the Bridgadeiro (a Brazilian dessert that resembles a chocolate truffle) and the Ube. I've never had a bridgadeiro, but I was blown away; it was SO GOOD! I was a little nervous about it because chocolate can easily taste artificial in frozen desserts, but they made this flavor perfect. I wasn't in love with the Ube (it could have been just a little creamier and fuller), so I got the Coffee Oreo instead. Didn't sample the Coffee Oreo (but do you really need to? It's coffee and oreo. C'mon) and it was delicious. The waffle cone was fresh and tasty and didn't leak much at the very end (I'm a slow ice cream-in-a-cone devourer, it comes with the territory). Their website says they may change flavors daily, so you never know what you're going to get. Ah, the beauty of it all.

    Cute ice cream spot and it's also very good! We liked all the flavors we picked. Looking forward to try other flavors. Line was long but moved pretty quickly.

    a lot of varieties of ice cream. my favorite one is hands down the sweet potato one (although it might be seasonal?) ube is cool too. service is fast and it's a nice spot to chill with the outside seatings :)

    Ube and s'mores double scoop
    David L.

    I've been here many times. However this one faithful visit was a dud. The waifu got the single scoop that were split into two different flavors. That's not bad. What was bad was the stale waffle cone that the ice cream was served in. It was bendable bc it was so stale. There was absolutely no crunch to the waffle cone at all. How deplorable! Normally waifus are easy to please but hard to satisfy. However this time I agree with her disgusted look towards the waffle cone. Now this isn't to say that no one should ever go to Davis creamery. I am also not saying the staff picked the worst waffle cone to serve to us. However a date night that ends with an ice cream outing ought to include a crunchy fun to eat waffle ice cream cone is just really frustrating to a princess or a spoiled Yelp critic. And the expired, doughy, chewy waffle cone was such so offensive that the waifu just gave up eating the cone and ice cream altogether. And since I never throw away food, I ended up eating the whole waffle cone. And let me tell you, the waffle cone was lackluster and lifeless. Go try for yourself Davis creamery. My sugar cone was aight. Just the right amount of crisp and crunch. But beware the stale chewy waffle cone that cost an extra $1.50 (Sorry for the first world problem whining; I sound like an Asian kid whose jingjing just earned him a 5 star mehmeh)

    I've tried quite a bit of ice cream and this is definitely some of the best I've had in a long time. I was ecstatic to see all the cow-themed merchandise & decorations for Davis. Service was friendly and hard working! My boyfriend and I shared 2 scoops (chips ahoy + oreo and the trifecta). Both were absolutely delicious and not too sweet. My only feedback is to add more of the Chips Ahoy + Oreo bits into the ice cream. I can't wait to come back and hopefully try their Avocado Coconut flavor! I purchased a cute cow printed reusable straw as a souvenir. Definitely drop on by for delicious ice cream and good vibes! You won't regret it!

If you've never had bingsoo/bingsu before, it's a Korean milk-based shaved ice dessert. MandRo offers fruit bingsoo flavors, such as strawberry and mango, as well as non-fruit options, including chocolate, injeolmi, and matcha. If you're not feeling bingsoo, they also have different drinks on the menu you can order. While they don't have as large of a bingsoo selection as some other places I've been to, I've enjoyed all of their flavors I've tried so far. My favorite is the strawberry bingsoo, since the fruit pieces are fresh and pair well with the snow. They offer two bingsoo sizes (regular and large), and the regular is great for sharing between two to three people. You place your order on a kiosk near the counter, and the workers will let you know when it's ready. There is plenty of seating inside as well. I saw they have a new Dubai chocolate bingsoo, which I hope to try soon!

It's a bit of a drive from Sacramento due to the traffic because of the construction. It was worth the drive to try something new. I've never had this type of Taiwanese shaved ice before. At least I think it's Taiwanese. It was described as frozen milk shaved like shaved ice. It's very fluffy and not chunky like regularly snow cones you get at fairs and festivals. This shaved ices don't compare. I loved the texture of the shaved ice in our Mango Bingsoo(Regular). The shaved ice was covered with mangos and dressed with sweetened condensed milk. I wish there was a larger portion of the condensed milk to pour on top of the plain ice when you run out of mangos. The proportions mango to shaved ice was pretty spot on, though you could always use another layer or two of mangos. I just can't get enough mangos. Price- This was pretty pricy and I would say it's a special occasion type of place. In addition i Size- The regular was the perfect size to share with a friend. For two of us the large would have been too much. Restrooms- They have one unisex bathroom in back. Thankfully you don't need a code to go in. It was clean and well supplied. Entertainment- They have a bookshelf of games to entertain you and your friends as you enjoy your sweet treat. Parking- There is plenty of parking as they share a private lot with the shopping center. It's nothing like downtown Davis where parking is scarce and there is a time limit. Menu- they have a large menu, mostly of drinks. They have a smaller menu of desserts. They had several flavors of Bingsoo(Regular) including a seasonal peach, mango, and our friends got the one with red beans and rice cakes. I had a taste and it was really good also. Would I go back? Yes, for a special occasion.

It's cute that it's small but it also makes for a very awkward door opening. There was only one other small group, three people, inside and we almost felt like we had to wait outside in order to go in. But we didn't and we squeezed in and it just felt a little awkward and uncomfortable. We both wanted cones so we can walk and eat with one hand. He ordered the vanilla double scoop in the larger cone. It honestly just tasted like regular vanilla ice cream from the store. And the cone felt like a cheaper type of cone. I also wanted a cone, but I mostly wanted the cherry ice cream with a little bit of chocolate on top. This request was not fulfilled. She told me that it was by scoop and could not do that. I feel like there was a way to make this work... Like maybe the last scoop give me a smaller scoop of cherry to account for the little bit of chocolate I would want. But I was just met with a no and no other suggestion. I then followed up and asked if this could be done in the cup, which she said it could be so that's what I ended up getting. The cherry and dark chocolate flavor were both decent but honestly, they weren't the best gelato or cherry or dark chocolate flavor I've ever had. The dark chocolate wasn't dark in my opinion dark. Not to mention this was incredibly expensive. For both of us it was $20, and although he got the double scoop and I got the large it's honestly like a regular portion of gelato or ice cream. So yes, it's definitely on the pricier side and they're way cheaper options even in Davis. It's not bad, but it's not the best. I wasn't impressed by any means. And there can definitely be improvements. We might be back just because of the convenience of it, but it won't be a place that we seek out.

When we left Davis and came back, we were really sad that there were no more Taiwanese food options, because we both loved the pork chop and meat gravy over rice so much. That being said, when we realized, honey D was there, we figured we would try it. The store itself is quite small, think fast service Boba shop size. The decoration is fine, the place kept pretty clean, not much more to say about it. The service is also really good, the staff working was very polite and friendly, and it turns out the owner must've been in the shop because she delivered our food and asked us if we've ever eaten this food before and offered to help. We ordered the fried chicken with pork gravy over rice, the beef noodle soup, and the lemon tea. To be honest, the beef noodle soup is not my favorite. Although the meat looks like it was freshly cut, I found it to be quite tough. I also was not really a fan of the bra, but I know the broth is also up to personal taste. For myself personally, I think the one at Dah Bao is better, and I've had much better in the Bay Area and outside of the bay. That being said, we both really enjoyed the chicken and rice. It was such a nostalgic taste, and we felt like the serving size was great. The chicken itself was really crunchy, so I imagine their other fried chicken and popcorn chicken options are also delicious. The tea was also very refreshing and helped to wash the food down. We plan to come back and try more of their braised meat and rice dishes, despite being a little disappointed by the beef noodle soup.
