Egg yolks, along with cream and sugar, give it that thicker, creamier texture. Swirl Frozen Custard -- dole whip pineapple and vanilla Italian ice base swirled with chocolate and vanilla frozen custard; a cool, refreshing combo that mixes the best of Italian ice with the thick consistency of frozen custard. They have a few tables inside, and the interior is charming, with artwork of their Italian ice and frozen custard offerings on the walls. Service was friendly, and the ambience made it a great spot for hanging out with friends. Parking out front is a nice bonus. Overall, a high-quality dessert shop that caters to both college students and locals alike, and I'd definitely come back next time I'm in Davis!

The shaved ice is super soft and fluffy, loaded with tajín and chamoy, tamarind candy topper and not overly sweet.

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.

So delicious! The bingsu was fresh, fluffy, and perfectly sweet. The mango toppings were soft and…read moresweet. The shop itself was pretty spacious and the ceilings were pretty high. There's a kiosk to place your order at the front so that's a plus. I'll definitely be back!

I found this spot through Yelp while driving around the area. I stopped by just for the mochi! My…read morefriends don't care for mochi, but I really wanted to try it! They also sell shaved ice, ice cream, and other Japanese snacks. When you walk in, there's a display case with an assortment of mochi and manju with different fillings. I got there around noon, so most of the flavors were still available, but I bought the last coffee manju! I got so excited that I forgot to snap a photo of the inside of the shop! I was only 2nd in line, so I had to make some quick decisions on what I wanted to try! This is definitely a grab-and-go kind of spot, so there's no seating. I did notice their freezer having mochi and manju on sale, so this is freezable if you're unable to eat it all quickly! *** M Y P I C K S *** * PINK MOCHI WITH WHITE BEANS ~ soft and chewy mochi with lightly sweeten white bean filling. This is more traditional, but very good! 5/5 * COFFEE MANJU ~ I liked the coffee flavored filling but felt the dough was a little dry, although not as dry as some I've tried. Thankfully, it's a very thin layer, so you taste the filling more. 4/5 * MATCHA MANJU WITH RED BEANS ~ texture on the outside is like the coffee one, red beans are lightly sweetened. 4/5 * ASSORTED CUBED MOCHI ~ STRAWBERRY | BLUE RASPBERRY | ORANGE Obviously not natural flavoring, but the soft, chewy texture was perfect! If I were to choose just one flavor, I'd go for strawberry. 5/5 * GREEN CHUNKY PEANUT MOCHI ~ my favorite out of everything I bought! Crunchy peanut butter in soft mochi! Loved this one! A MUST-TRY item!! 5/5 If you're in the area and want a sweet, chewy treat, this is definitely the spot to check out! They don't have fresh fruit mochi like some shops, but everything was light on sweetness and the texture was on point! So glad I was able to stop by while I was in Sacramento!

I also like gunthers ice cream, so its nice you get the option of getting regular ice cream or shaved ice.

I came by Teaspoon again a few days ago while in Davis for Picnic Day and I am happy to say that it's as good as it was before. The menu is smaller than other boba places, but each drink I've had here has been good. I love a blend of strong tea flavor and not overly sweetened milk tea, which is what they have to offer! My go-to drinks are their house milk tea or liquid gold, and when I want something fruity, I opt for their lychee black tea (aka lychee on lychee). I suggest getting the drinks half sweet if you don't want your drinks too bland but also not too sweet. The staff here has always been local college students who offer kind and speedy service. I'm never in here more than a few minutes unless I'm ordering a lot of drinks. It's small inside the store so if there's a lot of people in line, it's best to wait outside. It's not really a place to sit down and chat, but to take your drink to go which is fine since it's located downtown.

Just going in and out with others waiting for their drinks was a bit of a hassle. They have a touch screen to order drinks yourself which was helpful since one person was only working and it allowed him to just focus on making drinks instead of also taking drink orders. I enjoy their roasted oolong and the ability to customize your own drink.

I got the grapefruit yakult drink with lychee jelly at 25% sweetness and less ice. I was looking for a caffeine free drink. This really fit the bill. I found it to taste really good, I'll be a little sweet for my taste, but I also prefer my drinks on the less sweet side. The shop itself is fine, nothing really to write home about but clean enough. It's a little bit cramped because they have like a clothing rack and stuff in there, but it works. I liked the little outdoor seating area. The staff and service was fine. Nothing really to write home about but nothing bad either! I do think the owner of the shop was there when I stopped by and having a conversation with another staff member, but didn't bother me at all. Looking forward to coming back and trying their other drinks. It looks like they have some really interesting and creative things. Four stars because I thought it was pretty good, but nothing quite stand out yet.

One got her Lucky Charm ice which had ube ice cream and what tasted like cotton candy ice. Not my thing, but she liked it. My other friend got their tropical flavor with cream. Be prepared for the long lines, but as they say, it's worth it.

Theres sooo much hype about this place so we went to go try!!…read more Its in very rural davis-ish. Its like a plot of dirt then the lil stand. They have their famous pies as well as produce and some other stuff, but its a very small shop with like 4 tables outdoors. Def a stop on your way somewhere, not necessarily a destination. Their pie slices were like $8 a slice and a whole pie was $30. They also had many more options for whole pies vs pie slices, but its possible its because we went later in the day? They had some savory pies, cold pies, but mostly baked pies like peach, various berries, etc! They also have fruit freezes you can purchase too! We ended up sharing a banana cream pie and i got a peach pie too. The banana cream pie was HEFTY. It was HEAVY and PACKEDDDD. A LOT of cream a LOT of banana filling. Very yummy though and feeds a lot more people than you'd think. The peach pie was also very good! Im not a huge "cooked fruit" person and neither is mt family but we demolished the pie. The peaches were a surprisingly nice texture! And the crust was very good. $30 is a bit steep but if theyre using fresh fruits and baking them fresh its worth a stop if youre in the area!

The Davis location is much smaller than the original Auburn one as it looks more like a large indoor farmstand than a restaurant.

We drove 2 hours the weekend before her arrival to pick up a frozen one that we just need to defrost in the fridge overnight. But coming in at 2 lbs and only 3 days to eat it, had to freeze 1/3 of it so it will pass TSA and make it on her flight back East. Wonder if this is the most traveled pie outside of shipping it across country.
