Was pleasantly surprised by Sweet & Shavery in downtown Davis. They specialize in Italian ice made from fresh fruit and shaved ice, along with frozen custard, which has a flavor profile similar to soft serve but richer and denser. Egg yolks, along with cream and sugar, give it that thicker, creamier texture. Swirl Frozen Custard -- dole whip pineapple and vanilla Italian ice base swirled with chocolate and vanilla frozen custard; a cool, refreshing combo that mixes the best of Italian ice with the thick consistency of frozen custard. They have a few tables inside, and the interior is charming, with artwork of their Italian ice and frozen custard offerings on the walls. Service was friendly, and the ambience made it a great spot for hanging out with friends. Parking out front is a nice bonus. Overall, a high-quality dessert shop that caters to both college students and locals alike, and I'd definitely come back next time I'm in Davis! read more

Date night ended on a sweet note! We tried Sweet and Shavery for the first time while visiting Davis. When you walk in, it's simple, cute, and inviting. I will say the customer service was a bit lacking, but we didn't let that stop us from ordering Crepe #5. The banana and Nutella combo was chef's kiss . Such a simple treat, yet so delicious! The crepe was made fresh to order, served hot, and absolutely hit the spot. If you're in Davis and craving something sweet, I definitely recommend giving Sweet and Shavery a try! read more

How have I never left a review on my favorite dessert place in Davis? I've been coming here since 2015 and the quality and consistency is the same every time. Italian ice with custard on top! They have custom flavors you can choose from or you can pick from their preset menu. I always get the 4th of July or the icy milkshake. Absolutely delicious and not too heavy. Always recommend coming here. You can also start a stamp card and once you buy 10 you get one free! read more

What a cute spot for Italian ice and frozen custard or crepes. It was a busy night but the line moved quickly. Lots of flavors to choose from. We went with the mango lassi and it was perfect sweetness. The frozen custard's delicious! It's also topped with a drizzle of condense milk. Can't wait to try their crepes and other flavors. read more

Yummy shaved ice with custard! I came here a lot as a college student in Davis. I came here with some friends on a Saturday around 5pm. Not that busy at all. I got a size small and chose watermelon and blue raspberry shaved ice flavors with vanilla custard. It tasted the same as i remembered. The shaved ice is packed with the flavors and the vanilla custard is so creamy and almost fatty like. My friend got the orange and banana flavored shaved ice instead with vanilla custard and LET ME TELL YOU! Next time I need to get that exact combo because it was so good. Bro was cooking with that combo! Orange and banana together sounds weird but it's so good trust. Inside is nice and spacious with decent amount of seating. You also get two free samples inside. The workers looked like students who did their job. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Tried this place for the first time yesterday. I was a little skeptical about the combination of frozen custard and Italian ice (you can get either one alone but I was curious), and I was deliciously surprised. We will be returning! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Sweet and Shavery - In front: rainbow with custard; back: orange creamsicle - Desserts Near Me - Davis, California

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. read more

Sweet and shavery is one of my go to and favorite spots to stop by whenever I visit Davis on a hot day. Their parfaits are a must try - combo of Italian ice and your choice of custard (vanilla, chocolate, or swirl). They have a wide selection of Italian ice flavors to choose from. You can create your own parfait or choose one of the pre-made flavor combos. Their vanilla custard is one of the best I've had, super creamy and rich. I could just eat a cup of it on its own. A small is good for one person and a medium can be shared by two. The employees are super friendly and welcoming. They keep the store nice and clean. They're on top of cleaning the tables and seats once a customer leaves. Highly recommend stopping by! read more

Came here on a rainy day and the shop was empty but I love eating cold treats on a rainy day so I ordered a strawberry mango Italian ice with custard. The flavors were refreshing and no overly sweet which I appreciated. In addition with the creamy custard, this really hit the spot! I also came with my dad who got the root bear with horchata Italian ice and they were both great too! Definitely want to come back here and I love that the Italian ice is dairy free because it's a great lactose intolerant dessert option! read more

The custard alone is worth the trip to Sweet and Shavery! The custard soooooo creamy and yummy that I was thinking of getting one for myself instead of sharing with the wife. Next I'm there I'll just get all custard instead of the shaved ice cream. The gals working the counter were very helpful, friendly and patient with us Oooold foooggies. The inside could use a few more seats but they'd have to move to a larger storefront. Try it...you'll like it read more

I love the ice cream here but the customer service from the 2 younger ladies working there makes us not want to come in more often. They don't really say anything when you walk in they look annoyed the entire time. Only few words they exchange is "anything else"? read more

Italian ice, custards, and crepes. A cute shop with a few tables. Greeted when I walked in and there were a lot of people at the shop too. Also if there are crepes being made, you're able to smell the sweetness when you walk in. So many different flavors, so you're able to make any ice combinations. Ordered a Nutella strawberry banana crepe with whip creme and mixed custard on the side ($13.03 with tax) which are made in house, the crepe was super light and tasted delicious. The prices for Italian ice starts at $4, mango and strawberry is always my go to. Awesome place to go for some unique desserts. read more

I haven't been here in years but I'm so happy to see that they're still open! It's such a cute little dessert shop and the Italian Ice is fresh and sweet. Make sure you go for the parfait which is half italian ice and half frozen custard on top. They only serve vanilla and chocolate custard, or you can get a swirl. The frozen custard is soooooo rich and creamy. It's decadent without being overly. The girls working there were so sweet and friendly, and answered all our questions without any trouble. They greeted us when we came in, rang us up while the second order was being made, and then thanked us for stopping by. The customer service was on point! They have a whole list of pre made parfait combos but you can just create your own. You can have more than one italian ice flavor, even with a small size. The small is perfect for one or maybe two if you only want a little bit. We ordered two small parfaits for $9 and some change. This is a great spot to pop in for a sweet treat on a sunny day! If you're not feeling a parfait, you can opt for a milk shake or even a crepe as well! They have some seating inside and a parking lot with paid meters for 25 cents every 15 min. read more

Good set of flavors. Vegan and dairy free without the custard. Very inexpensive compared to other desserts and treats nearby. Staff seemed confused today, said they can't add two flavors on a cake cone? I've ordered this countless times in the past. Not a big deal. Order a cake cone if you don't want to throw away a piece of single use plastic. Would be nice if those were replaced. read more

If you're looking for a quick treat, sweet and shay is the perfect place to go to. Not only do they have delicious Italian Ice and Custard, but they also have crêpes as well. There is minimal seating inside and it doesn't get too busy. The employees are kind and welcoming as well. It's pretty quiet inside so if you're looking for a nice place to just relax and eat your sweets, Sweet and Shavery is the place to do it. read more

I loved the custard (I had chocolate), and tased some of their icees, but choose to stay just custard. Yummy and would go back. My only suggestion to them is to stop cleaning your floor with so much fabuloso. The smell of that floor cleaner is sooooooo strong it burns your eyes if you stay in there too long. When you go into an ice cream shop, you expect it to smell sweet and delectable. They could 100% tone down the fabuloso smell. read more

Cute and sweet little shop! I was in Davis area so my sister suggested this place for dessert. It was a Saturday afternoon so they were quite packed. They offer Italian ice, frozen custard, parfait, crepes and more. Different options and tons of flavors to choose from. Too much to decide on as everything looks and sounds so good. I ended up getting their small pina colada parfait which is half Italian ice and half frozen custard. Omg, everything blended so well together. It was creamy, soft and refreshing. Just the right amount of sweetness. If you love pina colada, definitely give this a try. My sister got their small root beer float parfait and it tasted just like regular root beer float. It was good as well. Portions and prices seemed to be pretty decent. The small was good enough for me but I should have gone with medium as it was so good lol. Will definitely come back here again if I'm in Davis. read more

Sweet and Shavery was one of the first shops I went to when I came to Davis, and it quickly became my favorite place. From the second I walked in, I thought that it was a very cute shop. The workers were very friendly and welcoming. I got a small Sunset per one of the workers recommendations; they said that was one of the more popular orders--mango ice, strawberry ice, and vanilla custard. Ever since then, it became my go-to order every single time I went there. I have tried other flavors when I went with my friends, and I haven't had a flavor that I disliked, but Sunset is still the winner for me. Additionally, the place gives you stamp cards so you get a free small ice or parfait after the 10th stamp. They also have a birthday wheel which is always nice if you ever choose to come on your birthday. Overall, this is a great place to get dessert in downtown for children and adults alike. Highly recommend. read more
