Great food and nice, quiet atmosphere. The workers are very friendly and food is served quickly. One of my favorite places in Davis!

Taiwanese Braised Pork Rice / 秘制台式卤肉饭
Ester L.

Got the braised pork rice and tiramisu and the food is seriously good. Tiramisu came right away and I did too bc it's so high quality, real thick mascarpone and the bottom was well soaked with coffee, overall flavor was really good. $9 is a crazy price but it was very good tiramisu. Workers are very gracious and kind and I love hearing their Taiwanese mandarin. My pork rice came after 10 minutes and the portion was good for the price. Lots of rice and pork fat which was good! Taiwanese cabbage was too tough and bland for me, and I didn't like the sour veggies on the side. The egg yolk in the braised egg was just slightly uncooked which was great. The flavors were overall well-balanced and tasty. Ambiance is very chill, a little dark but clean and welcoming. Cute posters inside and just a nice environment. Highly recommend to try at least once, especially for the tiramisu!

Purple rice yogurt
泳欣

The purple rice yogurt was so small for $9!!! The price and quality is just not matching. Yogurt was so sweet and purple rice was like risotto's texture

Spicy Beef Noodle Soup / 麻辣牛魔王
Abigayle N.

The food here honestly tastes like a warm comforting hug. The main dishes we had were the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup and the Juicy Chicken Cutlet with Braised Pork Over Rice. The portions are good for sharing for a date (but honestly you would probably want your own plate to yourself to take home afterwards LOL). The chicken was super crispy yet maintained the juiciness and flavor on the inside. Definitely a great spot to visit whenever you're in the Davis area and looking for good Taiwanese food!

Interior 1

Cute clean little spot in Davis although the interior is a bit dated that really doesn't matter much to me! Their service was quick and to the point and I wonder if that is why it only has about 3.7 stars on Yelp? Cause heres the thing their food and their desserts are actually pretty bomb and well priced, I got their juicy chicken cutlets w/ braised pork over rice and although I've had better, I've only exclusively had better in the bay area which is far and often times getting the same dish in the bay costs noticably more. Oh and something interesting they do is their tea eggs are actually somewhat jammy and not chalky like in many Chinese or Taiwanese spots. Their tiramisu was a surprise, honestly it would've been perfect if it was had maybe a quarter shot more of coffee, it is not too sweet and has a strong flavor, there were just some drier bits is all. I got their roasted sencha tea latte too, nice and bitter and at 50% sweet this would probably be equivalent to 25% sweet at other places, it was good for me since I honestly don't like my teas very sweet! Overall this place is a 4.5/5 - but if you factor in the price for the taste and quantity, especially for some of the college kids around here, it's a really good deal! P.s. bonus points their messages on their signage are pretty funny

I like the servers and the ambiance is younger and bright, but it can take a while to get food. This type of Chinese food isn't as common in Davis so it's more busy, but if you're not into this, not worth coming back. More a place for snacks, drinks, or maybe rice plates than a meal or soup. Spicy soup and braised beef had too much of an earthy flavor, would not get these again.

Really yummy food! We got the minced pork with chicken katsu and pork belly. Good portion size but the egg was a bit cold, maybe because we went closer to closing time. Overall, service was 10/10 food came out super fast. Would come back.

This is the Chicken Cutlet w/ Braised Pork Rice / 鸡排卤肉饭.

The area is clean and welcoming! Atmosphere amazing and friendly customer service. The Mango Green tea boba was really yummy and refreshing for the summer! Totally recommend! Also, service was quick and easy!

Combination Veggie Noodle Miso Soup
Jacquelin S.

I had lunch at Honey D on a Thursday with a friend. Everyone there, dining and working, were two generations younger than us. I was the only Caucasian in the restaurant. I took both observations that the food would be good and a great value. Right on both counts. I ordered the Combination Veggie Noodle Miso Soup. It was delicious, loaded with an abundance of ingredients; at least three types of mushrooms, a quail egg, tofu, peanuts, soe chopped pickle, lettuce or cabbage, and lots of noodles in the broth. The serving size was large and I have enough left over for two more meals. The restaurant is relatively small. One orders at the counter towards the back. The food is brought to your table. There are several tables for two, a couple of tables for four, and a short counter seating area by the window.

I stopped in to Honey D's after a evening of drinking and wants something fast yet delicious to eat. My friend recommend Honey D's! We walking in a greeted by the owner a friendly young man. We asked for recommendations as we are open to try whatever on the menu. He recommended different items from the menu and I we for it, as we were hangry. He brought out dumplings a noodle dish chicken and desserts and boba drinks. While waiting the restaurant is cozy and quiet it's not too big inside. The food is absolutely delicious the pork and chive dumping were amazing the soup dumpling were on point. The noodle dish which I can't remember was so good and he brought out a durian dessert dish

Tiramisu-super yummy, not too sweet!
Holland H.

My bf and I were looking for a place to buy something just to use a restroom and this was the only place we could find (SMH davis you need to do better) . Honestly im glad we did- we got the pork chicken cutlet bowl and the black tea latte with crema 50 percent sweet as well as the tiramisu. While the tiramisu was super good, the highlight was the savory dish . I like that their tea egg also had a bit of a yolkier middle. Im a saucy girl , but I honestly didn't need any for this dish as it was packed with so much flavor already and the rice was nicely soaked in the flavorful juiciness of the meat. This is also one of the few places here that is affordable (AND HAS A RESTROOM lol)

I was starving after having woken up early to attend the Candy Cane Dog Show Cluster in Woodland and wanted something comforting for lunch. Honey D Cafe caught my eye as I've had this establishment saved to my list for the longest time and that day I was not in the mood for pho. I wanted to stay nearby as I had groups later in the afternoon. Thankfully Davis is but a stone's throw away from Woodland. Parking in Davis on the weekends is always a nightmare, but I like to park in the parking garage by the cinema and just walk to my destination. I quickly found a spot at the parking garage and headed to Honey D Cafe. I was honestly surprised by how tiny the restaurant was. You order and pay up front before taking a seat. I went with the house special noodle soup and added wood ear fungus (wood ear is one of my favorite fungi). The tables were tiny and the chairs were not the most comfortable. I decided to shrug it off as I was starving, but made a mental note to include that in this review. The workers were not very friendly, and I noticed that they were extremely busy with to-go orders (DoorDash, Hungry Panda, etc). Bags upon bags of food started to accumulate on the pickup counter as I waited for my food. My noodle soup finally arrived in a hot metal bowl, which was nice to keep the soup piping hot. I was pleased with the amount of meat, veggies, and other ingredients in my bowl, especially since with tax and tip my total for lunch amounted to $23. For the extra $1.50 I paid for my wood ear, I did get a good amount of fungus too. But this is definitely not a restaurant I'd visit weekly. The broth was delicious and soothing, and all the ingredients worked well together to create a cohesive dish. The noodles were chewy and bouncy. I was very full after and while this bowl was on the pricier side, I was satisfied with my first experience at Honey D. However, I will say that the house special noodle soup reminds me of crossing-the-bridge noodle soup and honestly is most likely Honey D's rendition of that dish. Usually the ingredients are served separately and you add them to the boiling hot broth yourself once your bowl arrives to your table, but in this case all the ingredients were already present in the broth. I've had the most delicious crossing-the-bridge noodle soup in San Jose so I know what to expect. Honey D's was fine for a quick fix, but is not traditional (and I'm not saying to directly compare their food to the actual dish). It was just something that made me wonder the more I picked apart the ingredients in my bowl (such as the peanuts, quail eggs, etc). Regardless, I was satisfied with my meal and would like to return in the near future to try some other dishes that Honey D Cafe has to offer!

I don't often write Yelp review anymore - but please accept this as my petition to keep Pandan…read moreCoconut as a reoccurring flavor!! We sampled it during bracket week and waited until the following week to buy the whole quart. My filipino family gives it a 10/10 . Not too sweet, consistency amazing, and the accessibility of GOOD ice cream in Solano County makes me want to buy multiple gallons to keep for myself. I personally am the type to not like coconut shreds in my Pandan ice cream, so this one is top tier for us. Thank you Davis Creamery for not just offering Ube, but also Pandan. Such an underrated filipino dessert but honestly better that Ube IMO.

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.

We are inside and that's what I observed. It's a tiny space but it wa clean. Love that they had a drink fridge divided up into "milks" on one side and a "not milks" on the other side. I've never heard of Insomnia Cookies but my son did. So he already knew what to get: an ice cream cookie sandwich. There are classic cookies to choose from but a few deluxe cookies and brownies that costs more and are larger in size. TOTALLY WORTH IT!! And also a variety of ice cream flavors. I was very happy to see that they had an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie with walnuts and no disgusting little raisins. Yay!! I ordered that and a chocolate peanut butter cup. These cookies were boxed warm. They were gooey and delicious with a fresh out of the oven goodness!! I died. I was very pleasantly surprised that their cookies were still good the next day. I was afraid they would taste as good at room temp, but they are still very good and fresh! Good on them for having 3 vegan cookie options and 1 gluten-free cookie. Also, thanks for having alternative milk choices. I love Oatly!

Ignore the 20-minute wait time quoted on the app (unless you're getting a large order).... Insomnia almost always has cookies warm and ready.

The perfect balance of chewy and crumbly, lots of yummy melted chocolate chunks, and an irresistible oatmeal flavor I just can't get enough of :D

Like lady, who the hell hurt you so badly that you're upset at an empty cup thrown in the trash. This review was left moreso to let management know of their employees level of customer service.

A lot of folks come in all at once so staff are really working as fast as they can. I got a mango matcha and interestingly it's topped with a scoop of matcha ice cream. I personally prefer it on the side maybe? Cuz it's kinda hard to eat the ice cream on top of a drink. The matcha is on the milky and creamy side (it's not good or bad just depends on what you like). I enjoyed my drink and definitely wanna come back again and also try more drinks!

I normally like their food and drinks. Today was the first time I hated my drink (crème brûlée Oreo…read moremilk tea) and also hated my son's drink (watermelon lychee green tea with added lychee chunks and added popping boba). Also this time they were very busy and it was cold, so I waited in my car. That was a big mistake because apparently the notice that your order is done doesn't come immediately when your order is actually ready. My chicken was ice cold and my drinks had been sitting there. So now I know, gotta pay attention to the drink status and now I also know there's only a few of their drinks I actually like. I don't like any of their drinks with slimy/gloopy additions. These are my drinks that I really love: - pomelo mango - tenghulu yogurt - matcha strawberry and matcha mango - sticky rice milk tea (no boba) - runner up is the coco mango cloud drink (ordered without mochi) - the pistachio chocolate drink is ok if you love everything Dubai chocolate - I hated the taro milk tea and anything with slimey additions Their food is only ok. I really liked their popcorn chicken the first time I had it and it was piping hot and they had the basil leaves. Since then I have never seen it come with the basil again and it has never been as good (too salty, moist/greasy and doesn't taste as good if they don't get it to you hot). I got the takoyaki and it's not good at all. The fish balls are ok and the fries ok and the sausages were my favorite (even though it's too expensive for two mini sausages). So this is a too long post just to say they basically this shop is just mediocre and I'll still come back but it's very expensive and there's hits and misses. The quality/consistency is all over the place depending on who is on duty behind the counter and how busy they are etc... next time I go I will try to take photos.
