    Air head (left) and lychee parfait "half & half" (right)

    Amazing treat. Italian ice is like shaved ice so it's lactose intolerant friendly. Great way to cool down in summer

    Adelita J.

    Delicious summer treats! This is the place to get to for a nice summer refreshing treat in the heat. They have a nice variety of different flavors. You have an option to add a custard on top. I was greeted the moment I walked in with a welcoming hello!

    Strawberry, lemon, custard parfait

    Service is so friendly and helpful. Such a cute place overall. I love the idea of Italian ice cream with custard. We got a small lemon and strawberry Italian ice with vanilla custard. I love the flavor combinations. There is so much yummy variations. A must try stop in Davis!

    Strawberry, Banana, Nutella and Whipped Cream Crepe
    LaRon D.

    Sweet and Shavery was absolutely amazing! We knew we were in for a treat when we arrived and there was a line out the door! It's a small location but they are very efficient and move very quickly. We ended up getting: - Sunset Ice Parfait - 2x Orange Dreamsicle Ice Parfait - Strawberry, Banana, Nutella & Whipped Cream Crepe The ice parfaits were magical!!! How is the frozen custard so creamy and delicious??? How is the ice so flavorful but doesn't taste like "ice"? Everything just melts in your mouth!!! Most crepes I've had, they put the ingredients inside but they put them on top and used FRESH whipped cream, no canned stuff! Everything was absolutely delicious and clearly made with high-quality ingredients! Next time we are in Davis, this is a must!

    Half and Half vanilla custard with cotton candy and strawberry ice

    I've watch a YouTube video and discovered this dessert spot. I've walked past by many times but never went in. It was such a hot day so I decided to try it and oh boy, I'm not sure why I only tried it just now. It was so good. The frozen custard reminds me of the Costco sundae and the Italian ice is sweet and flavorful. The smallest half and half is $5.5 and with each additional size up, it's just a dollar more so I recommend getting a large for $7.5. It's also great share it with a friend to try more ice flavors. There was a large family before me and the staff were patient and made sure the customer got the right order. Highly recommend on a hot day or if craving something cold and sweet.

    First timer! I went on a downtown Davis foodie adventure and ended my evening at Sweet and Shavery. I came for the parfait half and half, which is half Italian ice and half frozen custard. I love this unique take on dessert and appreciated the extensive menu of possible combinations! Despite the long line, service was quick and they offer two samples for free. I tried the chocolate ice and was sold on the chocolate macaroon parfait (chocolate ice, coconut cream ice, chocolate custard, and chocolate sauce). My partner ordered the frozen banana (banana ice, chocolate custard, and chocolate sauce). We were absolutely delighted! Both desserts were beautifully presented and tasted light but satisfying. We seated ourselves inside at a high top table, given that all other tables were occupied. Sweet and Shavery seems popular among students, and I'm glad we discovered what I'd consider to be Davis's best dessert spot!

    Located in the heart of downtown Davis, Sweet and Shavery will satisfy your sweet tooth, whether you're craving shaved ice, crepes, custard, or ice cream. I had a maaad craving for crepes so I opted for the strawberries and cream one, but they have a whole list of other combinations as well as an option to build your own crepe combo. Needless to say I enjoyed my crepes a lot! It was warm and fresh and overall hit the spot.

    Lychee mango with swirl
    Kim l.

    Excellent Italian ice! I tried a few flavors and ultimately went with the sour watermelon. Daughter got lychee which was good too. Mango was a bit sweet. The soft serve in top is a bit too much. Next time we will stick with just the Italian ice. Oh and the mangonada that my friend got was excellent! Wish I saw that before I put my order in!

    There's not much crepe places where I live, so when I visits my friend in Davis she took us to this place to try some of their food. When we got there it was busy, the service was pretty quick. I got the strawberry Nutella crepe with whipped cream & it was so good. It was perfect, the strawberry was sweet & the crepe edges were slightly crisp & each bite was so delicious. Everything went well together & hit the mark of what I missed when eating crepes.

    Vanilla medium 6.25

    Sweet and shavery is a small frozen custard shop with different varieties of Italian ice. I had a medium size vanilla frozen custard which was a good amount. The texture is pretty good but it's not too different from a Strauss soft serve. Even though the texture is better than soft serve, the flavor unfortunately was very weak. My vanilla custard did not taste like vanilla. It just tasted like sweet milk. I would say the frozen custard here is just okay. My husband had his frozen custard with mango Italian ice. I tried his mango Italian ice and it had a very nice artificial mango flavor. My husband thought of his dessert was just fine. The bathroom is outside of the shop and down a very deep alley. Prices are okay but a little steep for something that doesn't taste as good as ice cream. The two young ladies that helped us was very friendly and sweet. I probably won't come back anytime soon.

    I don't often write Yelp review anymore - but please accept this as my petition to keep Pandan…read moreCoconut as a reoccurring flavor!! We sampled it during bracket week and waited until the following week to buy the whole quart. My filipino family gives it a 10/10 . Not too sweet, consistency amazing, and the accessibility of GOOD ice cream in Solano County makes me want to buy multiple gallons to keep for myself. I personally am the type to not like coconut shreds in my Pandan ice cream, so this one is top tier for us. Thank you Davis Creamery for not just offering Ube, but also Pandan. Such an underrated filipino dessert but honestly better that Ube IMO.

    Man, another Davis classic! Davis Creamery was my go-to dessert spot after exams or after dinner in…read moredowntown Davis. 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.
