Like most Temples, expect a line, great service, and consistently solid drinks that make the wait feel intentional rather than painful. But let's be real... I'm also here for the donuts. These are hands down the best vegan & gluten-free donuts in Sacramento--guilt-free little gems made for Temple by a local baker behind "Sugar Plum Bakery." No brick-and-mortar anymore, but you can still catch these around Sacramento if you know, you know. They usually sell out by mid-day, so go early or accept defeat. My drink today was the herbal jasmine green iced tea--simple, refreshing, and exactly what you want while people-watching .

The coffee shop had a lot of seating to catch up with friends. The service wasn't super friendly as the baristas were cold and had no expressions. Campfire sing a long - one of their seasonal drinks so decided to try it. It's a little sweet because of the chocolate and marshmallow cold foam but it balances the espresso well. It's a great option if you're looking for something sweet.

I usually get a sweetened iced matcha latte with their sweet cream and it's perfect. 10/10 you'll catch me here all summer working on my dissertation.

My kid got a matcha. There's lots of other places that serve coffee but it just tasted like milk. I would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area. I'm kind of sad that I live so far away from it. I'd be there every week. Bonus: they have food trucks in the parking lot. So grab some food while you're at it.

The space is larger than I anticipated, which was nice. I checked out their specials and opted to order their olive latte (it was made with olive oil). I was hoping they had some type of pastry, but alas, nothing except a few prepackaged bars. Once I got my latte, I took a seat. The latte was OK. I thought I may be able to taste/at least smell the olive oil undertones, but didn't. The latte was good. Will I be back? Maybe.

High ceilings, wooden flooring, spacious and tables are not cramped on top of each other. Excellent space to work or meet friends. There are two kiosks for self ordering. I got the Coconut Blue Cloud Matcha. Before I even taste the drink, it is gorgeous! Probably the most beautiful drink I have ever seen. It's green matcha foam on top, then this bright blue liquid and white/milk bottom. Once you mix it, it becomes a turquois color. It also taste really good. Refreshing coconut milk/water, subtle sweetness (70% sugar) and strong matcha. When you get to the bottom, you get the bits of coconut. I don't live near Davis but I would definitely come again the next time I am in the area.

Is kava an acquired taste that I'm too plebeian to understand? I gave this place a visit recently…read moreand did not find their drinks appealing at all. The Cloudbreaker immediately met my taste buds with bitterness and then left my tongue completely numb for several minutes. Perhaps those sensations would have paid off if they were followed by a calming or THC-like effect, but I didn't experience any change in mental state. The comfortable atmosphere saves this establishment from 1 star. Dim lights, leather couches, chill music, and colorful tiki wall art make for a decent study spot or date night. However, if you're hanging out at a business, you gotta support it, and to support it, you gotta buy something -- I can't see myself buying anything kava-related with any ounce of enjoyment. Surely there must be some variation of a kava drink that tastes delightful. I don't want to spend any more money finding out though.

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.

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.

Mom and I were out and about in Davis on Saturday visiting the amazing art galleries in the area…read more It was a little bit of a drive as the Causeway was backed up as usual. On average it takes around 22 minutes to get there from Sacramento. Parking can be a challenge. There is some street parking, but I prefer to park in one of their lots. The lot I choose has 3 hour 3 parking. Tea List is hidden down a pathway behind Pence Gallery, one of our favorite Galleries to visit. If you don't know it's there you may never find it. I found them googling high tea salon in the area. It's the only high tea salon for miles that I'm aware of. Granted there are lots of tea and boba shops around, but those are not the same as having high or afternoon tea. For variety we used to go to a Tea Salon in SF's Japantown, but they have since closes so we are very limited on High Tea salons. We've been coming here for years and we have a great experience every time we do. To me Tea List is a special occasion place and this being a special occasion we popped in. To my happy surprise they were still open and seating was available. There were several tables open when we arrived and 5 tables were in different stages of their tea parties. In the past I've always made reservations a week in advance. When we walked in we were informed that they were only serving their 4 different tea service options. They sometimes serve individual items, but I've never gone when that was an options so that is a little mystery to me as to when you can offer individual items instead of ordering a whole tea service. I ordered us the Afternoon Tee for $27.50 each, I belive there is minimum order of 2. This is the least expensive of the tea services and also provides the least variety. The presentation was spot on. They first brought out matching tea cups and saucers and gold rimmed plates. The sugar was served in individually wrapped packets in a sugar holder and the cream was in a creamer dish. The tea was served in plain white tea pots and we were given a 3 minute timer for the tea to steep. The loose leaf tea was in mesh bags to keep the leaves contained. The sandwiches and desserts were served on a 3 tiered platter and beautifully arranged. Though it's plenty for us. We were first served warm berry scones with fresh Devonshire cream. They were Devine. It helped that the scones were soft and flakey. My favorite sandwich is the cucumber mint, but.... The bread was kind of stale so that was a bit of a bummer. The chicken salad was ok, I wish it came with more grapes and something lighter then the huge roll it was on. The roll was over powering. The veggie garden was good. I liked it on the petite toasted French roll at the same time it really didn't do anything for me. My mom liked the turkey pesto one, it came on wheat bread. The bread complimented the sandwich. For dessert there were 2 French pastries. A vanilla macaron. I would have preferred pistachio as that is my favorite, but vanilla is good too. There was a Neapolitan. It was very flakey and hard to eat. I liked the macaron better. For fresh fruit they were thinly sliced kiwi, orange, apples, and strawberries. A petite serving. We sat outdoors under their awning. They draped fake wisteria along the front and back of the awning. Even being fake, it was quaint. Before we sat they draped a white tablecloth over the table. They presented me with a menu and lots of the items were crossed off. It was kind of tacky. They really need to redo their menus. On the back side of the menu they offer Strawberry Long Island tea, sadly they said they use a new distributor and they don't offer that tea anymore. This is really sad as it's my favorite tea. We were given a small list of the current teas they were serving as the menu is outdated. We had two green teas, a single tea pot per person. Pomegranate Hibiscus and Lavender Butterfly. After adding the cream (Whole Milk) and sugar (brown packets of Sugar in the raw they both tasted pleasantly the same. We added a single packet of sugar to each cup. The tea was very tasty and I would order those two flavors again. Overall the tea service was delightful. They can use some minor improvements, but even that said we will be back for our next special occasion.
