Came back today - told you!…read more And did not disappoint again. Got the dark chocolate demi (mini) baguette and it hit the spot! Aesthetically very French and the taste was very European as it was a smooth subtle dark chocolate unlike some sweet ones you can encounter. Best part was that it was crunchy on the outside and very fluffy and soft on the inside. Almost like Dutch crunch I'd get for a sandwich without it hurting the roof of my mouth. The crunchy outside was not too hard either since harder shell can make the eating experience frustrating. The look of it was stunning and the inside was nice and airy like the Asian baos I usually go for due to the lightweight nature of the inside. Great contrast to the baguettes crust and carbs did not make me feel heavy at all. Chefs kiss 5/5!

There were two staff members helping everyone behind the counter. The case was full and beautiful. I was excited to see the viral fruit desserts. I ordered a cherry and a green apple; both not too sweet but was hoping for more fruity flavors to come through. I also got a few pastries, which my family and I really enjoyed. My favorites were the ham&cheese croissant and the matcha croissant, which was generously filled with matcha cream. This location has plated brunch/lunch items and offers afternoon tea; which makes me excited to come back. Solid place but wasn't wow'd. Will try again soon!

I recently visited Estelle Bakery & Pâtisserie and it was definitely an experience that sticks with…read moreyou. The first thing you notice when you walk in is how beautiful everything looks. Every pastry is displayed so perfectly that it almost feels impossible to choose. You honestly want to try everything, and that is both the best and most dangerous part because the price does add up quickly. I will say upfront, their baked goods are on the expensive side. But at the same time, you can tell you are paying for quality, presentation, and that true bakery feel. It feels a little indulgent, but in a way that can be worth it depending on what you get. I tried their Ferrero Rocher dessert, and if I am being honest, it was not my favorite. It looked amazing, but the flavor did not fully live up to the expectation for me. On the other hand, I also got a chocolate croissant, and while the pastry itself was light, flaky, and airy, I was a little disappointed by the lack of chocolate inside. I was hoping for a richer filling to match how good the pastry texture was. That said, their pastries overall are still very well made. They have that perfect balance of being light and airy while still feeling satisfying, which is not easy to do. The real standout for me was the French toast. It absolutely knocked it out of the park. It was rich, flavorful, and honestly brought the whole experience together. If you go, I would highly recommend ordering it because it completely changed my overall impression of the visit. Overall, Estelle is one of those places where the atmosphere and presentation pull you in, and while not everything may hit perfectly, there are standout items that make it worth trying. Just be prepared to spend a bit, and go in knowing you might have to be selective with what you order.

This time, we decided to try the Dark Chocolate Truffle Cream Pie, and wow !! It absolutely lived up to the hype. The pie was rich, decadent, and incredibly satisfying. Honestly, you only need a small slice before feeling completely full. The whipped cream was light, fluffy, and honestly a dream. Between the two of us, it took an entire week to finish because of how indulgent it was. My partner usually always goes for fruit pies, but this chocolate cream pie completely converted him and now he wants to keep trying all of their cream pies. Definitely worth the stop!

They also have fresh locally grown fruits and vegetables. Pros: supporting locally grown food. Everything is baked fresh and they have some of their stuff frozen (pies, cobbler, tamales, patsy, etc). There's plenty of parking on their gravel lot and they offer local UC Davis students a discount. Cons: none, I wish I lived closer though!

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.

They offered a TON of flavors. They ranged from Honey, Ginger and Turmeric to Cherry Chai to plain old vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. I opted for a single scoop of the Honey, Ginger and Turmeric and my son got a scoop of Lemon and Golden Oreos on a cone. We both enjoyed our respective flavors. I love golden drinks so I thought an ice cream version would be yummy! Same for the lemon flavor for my son. The scoops were $4.50 each so it wasn't unreasonable. I'd say it was closer to a soft-serve texture than ice cream. Service was great. It wasn't busy, so we were helped right away!

From time to time they have special donuts like a Dubai Chocolate one.

I think it's cool how they're one of the only donut shops that serve an Ube donut. May I mention that every time we go, we're always helped by Mariah?
