    Starbucks run
    David L.

    This place is great. Seating inside and out. Very spacious with lots of outlets. It gets pretty busy but it's one of the more quiet Starbucks I know. People just come, plug in, get caffeinated, and then get work done. Food is ok too. Lots of different coffee cakes. Solid A-

    Matcha latte

    Quick service, it's just the ice to drink ratio is unacceptable. I had about 4 good drinks till I wasn't able to drink anymore. I feel as though I need to ask for light ice to get a regular proportion, but the food is decent aswell

    Yum! Love me a blueberry scone.  A rare treat!

    It is one of the newer and more popular Davis Starbucks locations. Located in the well frequented Mace Boulevard, Nugget Shopping Center with easy off/on E/W bound freeway exits for your drive thru needs. When it opened, it was a huge bonus for South Davis residents as all other Davis locations were on the other side of the freeway some distance away. Unfortunately, it opened shortly before I moved away from Davis to my present home. It is a large Starbucks for sure. With a nice covered patio to chill and hang out. Parking is easy, and there is lots of it. It is the favorite with everyone. Students in their jammies:), and local kids and adults. Dogs welcome! It is always busy. People come with their computers and stay. Moms meet with the babies, high power business meetings... you get the picture! Oh...and of course bike friendly!Welcome to Davis! I loved enjoying my extra hot latte and blueberry scone in one of my favorite former stomping grounds! Shout out to Paris for making it extra nice! I miss this Starbucks. No other like it. Till we meet again:).

    I had a disappointing experience, as Jilian at the window were extremely rude and constantly rolled eyes. Extreme lack of professionalism. And she smashed my cake pop

    Always plenty of seating. There is also outside seating. Sometimes the place is a little sticky. One of the workers though is really nice and joyfully took my order and served. The long tables have power strips and hooks for holding backpacks.

    First time visiting this location and we love it! The service was great, friendly, fast and drinks prepared exactly the right way! It was clean and a nice vibe. Lots of people sitting around on laptops and just hanging out.

Came in specifically for the Miso caramel latte and Pandan Latte. I've had plenty of miso caramel lattes and what I love about it is a good contrast of your savory/salt you get from the miso paste and something sweet like caramel. What I'm missing is the sweet. Don't get me wrong I don't love things overly sweet but it lacks enough caramel to have a good juxtaposition because I got mostly salt and savory. If I order this in the future I would just ask for maybe a little more caramel. The star of the coffees was the Pandan latte. Pandan is green and reinforces a coconut type of flavor. It's bold enough with out feeling like it's over wheeling in syrup, so they balance it well. The plus is texture when they include a coconut toffee on top. Which apparently they make in house (per the barista). Staff was super friendly and helpful and the coffee came out ok about 8ish minutes.

    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.

I appreciated their friendly service and the generous portion of the Kava Cloud Breaker. The Davis location offers plenty of flavors to choose from, which made for a great experience. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and would definitely stop by again if I'm in the area.

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.

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.

So ofc when I was in town, I had to try it. This "Molly Tea" is not the same as the Bay Area's (no store listed in Davis on the official Molly Tea website) and is also known as "jasmine tea house" on Google Maps which confused me. Walking in there was a very unpleasant smell, almost like bleach/chlorine mixed with jasmine tea fragrance. (Not great!) We sat outside. However the drinks were not bad. Not as "presentable" as the authentic Molly Tea (no fancy straw or seal), but the osmanthus oolong milk tea was on par taste wise. Overall, it's a good "knock off molly tea" and satisfied our boba craving. It's good enough for Davis but def lacks the polish of real Molly Tea's.
