    Have always seen this place packed to the brim with students studying and have always wanted to try! It was good- the coffee was enjoyable and the pastry was sweet. The chocolate muffin could have been more rich in flavor but I still enjoyed it. I can see how this place is a nice place to study solo. The workers were nice too!

    This is a view from the back of the business.   You order in the front,  and the drinks come out in the back,

    Pete's closed downtown, so I've been in search of a regular coffee joint, Mishka's Coffee have a dessert case, where you can be tempted by pastries, where you can pickup a pastry to go along with your beverage. The service is pretty brisk. It is usually full of people, lots of students being studious. There are all sorts of cool posters on the wall.

    Mint latte was pretty good ($7 after tax and tip). Cafe stays super busy but the seats are rotating in availability if you are willing to wait. I like how they play jazz music instead of songs with lyrics (makes it easier to do work). WiFi connects but it doesn't work so I had to use a hotspot. There's outlets to charge along the wall or at the booth seats. 2 hour parking right outside if you're lucky!

    Probably should've taken a picture when this was full but it was a snickerdoodle latte

    What we got: Drinks -Snickerdoodle latte 3.5/5. Creamy and not too sweet, but would've preferred the flavor of snickerdoodle spices to come through a bit more (somewhat muted). Decent price. Aesthetic/Design 4/5 -Larger space though tables are pretty close together and when we went it was pretty packed so expect not a lot of room to maneuver if busy. Tables outside available for seating which is nice (assuming weather is good). Warm colors with decor & design that evokes a rustic, old school cafe vibe. Service 3.5/5 Probably because they're crowded often, more about getting the order down and out! Not rude though which is saying a lot for how many customers they get! Ordered 2 lattes of the same flavor that did take a while but again, wasn't too much of an excessive wait considering the high load of people they have to cater to.

    Passing through, I needed to use a bathroom and while I was at it, get a beverage too. Whoweeee! I got a mint latte! It is so strong I think my hair is growing in stronger now! I can't finish my drink but it will definitely useful tomorrow morning! LOL!

    Stopped by for coffee and it was pretty busy already by 8:30 on a Saturday morning! They have a great location in the middle of downtown Davis. I wanted to try one of their seasonal drinks so I chose the pumpkin latte since I saw on their Instagram that they make their pumpkin syrup in house. Unfortunately the drink was not pumpkin enough. The top of the drink is covered in cinnamon and it was all I could taste despite trying to mix the drink as much as possible. As a result it just tasted like a cinnamon latte. My husband's drink was much better, love that they had a dirty Thai Tea here (it's called Jolted Thai). They also have an impressive pastry case so lots of things to choose from for you to enjoy with your coffee! The service is truly hit or miss. The guy was super nice but the girl could not crack a smile or say thank you. You could barely even hear her behind the protective screen at the cashier, and she looked so annoyed that I bothered to even ask about our blueberry muffin even though she was the one who never gave it to us... I'll consider coming back to try other drinks in the future since they have a good selection of seasonal options, and I'd love to upgrade my rating, but for now today's first experience was so-so.

    Great coffee spot in Davis. Great selection of coffee and pastries and treats. The staff are always friendly and the coffee good. Sometimes it is too busy so I usually get it to go. But typical small city coffee hangout. Great local spot that students and locals alike share. Give it a go. Only downsides is it is a little pricey and sometimes there is a wait.

    Americano, Secret Garden Latte, Honey Latte
    Alison H.

    This place was super cute and the service was amazing!! They accidentally made one of our drinks cold instead of hot and were so kind about fixing up a new drink quickly. I had the secret garden latte, which is one of the seasonal drinks, it was lavender and rose and it was such a delicious combination! Our barista also helped recommend a drink to my mom who is always very indecisive, and she was very happy with her drink!

    I got the pecan bar here and the iced chai latte. It was just ok, the chai latte was super watered down and not memorable. The pecan bar was delicious and so decadent. I love that they served it chilled and it tasted super fresh. Would recommend coming here for the pastries, kind service, and lovely ambiance. I love the tables and the little placards on them as well.

    Mint lemonade and ginger snap cookie
    Merrick C.

    Ahhh, Mishka's, definitely my favorite coffee shop in Davis. I usually come in for the wide varieties of tea, but on a hot day I went for the lemonade, which was an excellent choice. This place is popular, which means it can sometimes be hard to find a table.

    Nice setting, pretty good coffee. However, it is expensive. We also bought a lemonade juice thing that was so diluted it was clear and tasted like straight water with some lemon.

I won't go into the reasons why, but I wound up forgetting to order my coffee decaffeinated. I wound up ordering a Mexican mocha with almond milk and light whip. I also ordered a veggie scone. Both the barista and the person working the counter were friendly and nice. I LOVED the Mexican mocha. It wasn't too sweet (which I was worried about), didn't need sugar, but was delicious. It had a nice mix of the robust coffee flavor and the richness of the Mexican chocolate. The scone was good. I liked the mix of veggies and cheese. I think it would have been better if it were heated. This cafe is somewhat small. While there is a good amount of seating, it gets pretty packed in here. I'd say my biggest con of this cafe if you're drinking your coffee there are the seats and the lack of electrical outlets to charge your computer. The bar stools are pretty uncomfortable. I really could only sit the stool for about an hour. Since the stools didn't have a backrest, I started getting sore. I'd definitely get coffee here again.

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.

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.

Not as "presentable" as the authentic Molly Tea (no fancy straw or seal), but the osmanthus oolong milk tea was on par taste wise.
