    I was walking around Davis and saw this place . It is really cool. They even have two floors which you don't notice from outside. There are so many neat Japanese products here. It is nice to have them in one place. However the prices here are pretty steep. But if you want it you want it so splurge hehehe.

    Omg this is the coolest store! So glad we got to check it out while having dinner in Davis. They have everything! Snacks, stationary , Sanrio , manga, beauty products. Could have spent a lot longer here. We got some ramen noodles, togarashi seasoning, cute pencils and caramel panda cookies! Amazing selection, fun vibes!

    The stuff here is pretty overpriced but not bad. THERE'S A BASEMENT FLOOR!! lots of kpop anime and plushies there. top floor has a lot of good snacks albeit expensive. The workers here are pretty nice and soft-spoken here, too

    Kobe Mini Mart in downtown Davis is a Japanese Store that has a little of everything Japan. There are 3 floors of Japanese offerings: - 1st floor carries snacks, candy, food, art supplies, Anime items, keychains, convenience items and kitchen items. - 2nd floor are the gatcha toys, blind boxes, collectibles as well as the learning center where you can take Japanese lessons. - Basement is the Kobe Underground where you can find cosmetics, skin care products, Manga, books, stuffed animals, scale model kits, t-shirts and tote bags. If you are looking for something Japanese, check out Kobe Mini Mart where you can find a little Japan in Davis, CA.

    My fiancé and I love to stop by this mini mart any time we're in Davis. This place is 3 stories, floor 1 being the mini mart, floor 2 has anime and the learning center, and the basement has a bunch of different stuff like books and stuffed toys. You can always find something when you come here. We came by last night and the gentleman working was super friendly and welcoming. We ended up just getting a couple snacks and a drink. I definitely recommend :)

    Everything inside was soo amazing the people working there were soo friendly too I love the down stairs soo many manga and k pop stuff down there too!! Would totally recommend to visit!!

    I came across this place while casually strolling around downtown Davis with a friend. I am so glad we ran into this spot. This is a cute little Japanese mart that sells all sorts of stuff -- anime merch (keychains, stickers, posters), plushies, stationery, snacks, bathroom items, manga, EVERYTHING. One cool part about this place is that there are stairs leading to a basement floor which has a study area for people to hang around. It feels so homely and cozy. I bought a Popin' Cookin' kit as well as a cute little Corocoro Life plush that is now hanging on my car's rear view mirror as my lil' driving buddy!

    I was leisurely bebopping around downtown Davis on a recent lazy weekend afternoon. I eyed this place... Kobe Mini Mart. The sign distinguished itself as a Japanese mini mart. My curiosity was peaked, so off I go venturing in. So glad I did. This place sells a bit of everything. I was a bit awe struck with all the inventory. You do not normally find a place like this outside the Bay area. Even Sacramento does not have a shop like this. They have Japanese and Asian candy and snacks; food staples such as rice, noodles; frozen foods including mochi; cold case of Japanese sodas; deli hot buns; plates/bowls; plushies; and stuff that I am not hip enough to understand. That stuff is Funko, anime character keychains (which reminded me of shrinkee dinks), stickers, cards, figurines, model kits/paints/brushes, and toys. Get this, they have a whole other floor which I did not go see. More stuff!!

    Mishka's Cafe in Davis is a solid choice for a cup of coffee and breakfast. This is especially true…read moreif you're a student and want a place to read or study while enjoying your food. There is a lot of table space in the cafe and when UC Davis is in session, I've found many of the tables to be occupied by students doing just that. Mishka's Cafe has been around since 1995 and is a beloved place in Davis. It's a traditional cafe that has a welcoming atmosphere. When you first walk into the cafe you'll see the food case just to your left. It is filled with cafe items such as croissants, muffins, and cookies. There are savory items as well as sweet. I found the quality of the food here to be quite good and unique. Sometimes cafe food just feels like it came from somewhere else, but even if these did, they have a uniqueness about them. For example, the chocolate croissant is very flakey with a good amount of chocolate in the interior. It really surprised me! I also found the ham and cheese croissant to be very rich in flavor. My only gripe about either or these items was the heating method. I'm not sure how they are heated up, but they feel as though they used one of those quick heaters to quickly get them ready rather than a good toaster to get the items nice and crisp. As good as they are they were a bit limp due to the heating method. In terms of coffee, it's perfectly adequate. They have special offerings as well as their traditional menu. I found the coffee to be mild and friendly. It's not too strong nor very unique. It's just a solid cup. Sometimes that's really all you need.

You can see a lot of the prep happening which feels intentional and adds to the whole aesthetic. It was packed (but also... every cafe in Davis is packed??), and I got lucky snagging a seat. There's indoor plus a covered outdoor area that I loved. Menu-wise, if you eat everything you're thriving. Vegetarians have options. Vegans... you can make it work, but you'll be doing a little remixing. Plenty of non-dairy milks though, so drinks are easy. And speaking of -- the yumberry spritzer?? yeah I'm thinking about it again. I'm not even a carbonation person and somehow this was insanely good. Got the berry, already planning my return for the blue one. Staff looked like actual pastry chefs (uniforms on point), super friendly, good energy all around. Also randomly spotted a Korean item on the menu which threw me for a second but I'm into it. There's grab-and-go too if you're in a rush. Not my first pick if you're strictly vegan and want a full spread, but still really cute and worth popping in... if only for that drink.

I felt like I would've liked a little more cake to the desserts, as the various filling take up most of the dessert. The apple taste like apple pie filling surrounded by a white chocolate. The passionfruit was the only one I didn't like, thought it tastes like soap, but I'm not a passionfruit fan. The cherry was sweet but light in flavor, the chocolate hazelnut was the best, tasting like a large Ferrero Rocher. That's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating.

    We are occasional visitors to Tea List, but hadn't been in a while when we stopped in yesterday…read more I love what they've done with the outdoor space. They have a shade canopy set up with dangling purple flowers and it really adds to the atmosphere. The music also adds excellent ambiance. We had high tea with no reservation and no wait. The waitress was eager and helpful while leaving us space to enjoy at leisure. The tea was excellent and reminded me that part of the joy of tea is slowing down to fully enjoy the flavors and experience. The sandwiches were lovely and light and plentiful that we could have been well full if we'd come in hungrier ( we had a few to take home and look forward to enjoying them) the desserts and fruit were perfect. The chocolate managed to be rich in flavor and light in texture. The pastry was delectable. I picked up the loose leaf earl grey cream and enjoyed it this morning.

The detached patio was cute but the insulated plastic covering kept hitting the back of my head whenever a large gust of wind blew by. 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.
