    Sandwich platter
    Cameron C.

    Such a hidden gem! Very friendly service and an adorable location. We got a vegetarian afternoon tea service for 3 and standard one for 2. Came with 3 fairly large pots of tea, all of which were delicious! The scones were fresh baked and amazing. We also loved the selection of sandwiches.

    I came here for a baby shower and it was such a cute little spot! They have an area outside as well as one long table area inside. Unfortunately it was a VERY hot summer day and the AC unit inside couldn't keep the temp down. But that was the only flaw! Tea list has GREAT teas, I liked the hibiscus one the most. And the finger foods are absolutely perfect. Yummy and beautiful presentations. I liked the cherry chicken sandwich the most! And the desserts were equally beautiful and delicious. They were very accommodating for our group and I would definitely recommend them. Everyone who helped our group was very nice and really worked to meet dietary restrictions as well

    Queen's Tea Service
    Jacob M.

    I chose the Queen's Tea Service to treat a group for a special occasion, and it was quite the experience. I recently went to London and had a wonderful high tea service, so I thought it would be fun for others to try the same here. It turned out to be a surprisingly fun and delicious change of pace. Tea List is tucked into a beautiful alley in Davis and has such a cozy vibe. We were seated outside, and although it was a warmer day for tea, it was still lovely in the shade. One thing I will note is that while the servers were friendly, part of what made my London experience special was the guidance; explaining how to eat a scone, how to pour and steep the tea, and describing each dessert and sandwich. Here, we were left to guess a bit, which is a shame because those small details add to the magic. Still, you definitely get your money's worth with the Queen's Tea Service. We started with a refreshing arugula salad with cranberries, balsamic, and olive oil. Then out came a cheese board along with mini potato croquettes and quiches as appetizers. I had not realized all of this was included in the Queen's Tea, so it felt really special to have so many things come out. Of course, the tea itself was great (I'm no expert on good tea); but we all ordered different kinds, enjoyed multiple refills, and even got iced teas to go. I am more about the sandwiches, and all of them were excellent. They really brought me back to London, especially the curry chicken salad one. It was so flavorful I wanted a hundred more. The scones with cream and jam were another highlight. I had worried they would be dry like most American scones, but these were actually even better than the ones I had at a posh tea service in London. Tender, flaky, and absolutely delicious. The fresh fruit alongside them was a welcome touch and a nice difference from my UK experience. The other desserts ranged from okay to good, though they could use a little more variety. I enjoyed the cream puff and éclair-like pastry, but a chocolate dessert--something like a mousse--would have been a nice addition. Overall, the experience was great, worth the price, and something I would happily do again. It felt very similar to my London tea experience, and they captured it beautifully. I just hope in the future the service is a bit more guided, as that kind of explanation and storytelling makes the whole tradition even more magical. Still, it was a lovely experience. Cheers.

    It's a cute tucked away spot, quite small inside but there looks to be outdoor seating. Our hostess was not overly welcoming. She rushed through how to pick teas (iced vs hot) and we were all confused. It wasn't bad service but you go to high tea for it to feel a bit more special. The scones were delicious and so were the little desserts. I can't eat salmon so they had a special artichoke one for me which was nice. The sandwiches didn't blow us away flavor wise but they were nice. There was also no AC and it was a hot day but we saw a unit so perhaps it was out.

    Been here twice. The first time with friends and second time with hubby. Both experiences were different and nice. For the 2nd visit, we tried their Queen tea and High Tea service. The Queen Tea service includes: salad, cheese plate, seasonal appetizer, choice of 2 teas, scone with fresh Devonshire cream & berry preserves, assorted small tea sandwiches (cucumber mint, veggie garden, turkey pesto, curry chicken salad on brioche roll, smoked salmon with capers), pastries, 4 kinds of French desserts and fresh fruits The High Tea service includes: choice of 2 teas, scone with fresh Devonshire cream & berry preserves, assorted small tea sandwiches (cucumber mint, veggie garden, turkey pesto, curry chicken salad on brioche roll, smoked salmon with capers and dill), 5 kinds of French desserts and fresh fruits For my tea, I chose the Organic Rose Melange and took home the Long Island Strawberry. We sat outside in the cool winter breeze. The place is a bit small on the inside but more seating options outside. It was indeed a very nice and refreshing experience. Will definitely come back for a 3rd time.

    After my trip to London I had been missing a high tea experience and upon some Yelp search I came across this place. It's a bit pricey but you get a nice experience with some good tasting high tea small bites which makes it worthy. Lots of tea options to choose from and they accommodated us as vegetarians. That's a big plus in my book. It's a small cozy spot and takes you back to a traditional British high tea experience. Highly recommend. For someone who wants a glimpse of what a British afternoon tea might be like should really consider trying this place.

    Adorable little restaurant! We bought the queen's tea service for a group of 6 people. We got 3 full tea pots (2 rounds) to which you can try different tea flavors (black, green, floral, fruity, etc) . The queen's tea service comes with a mixture of sweet and savory treats. You actually can get full from all the food! It started with a salad, charcuterie board, and some small savoury treats. Then they brought a tower of cut up sandwiches, desserts, and fruit. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The service is fast and workers are very friendly

    Two types of tea with high tea

    This is my second visit and I can definitely see myself coming back time after time. This small businesses afternoon tea spot really puts a lot of heart and soul in their preparations. It shows in their attention to details. Your tea comes with a mini timer to ensure best taste. Your scones are fresh out of the oven for best flavor and texture. Service is attentive and helpful. And the place is very homey and cute. I went for the high tea set today. It comes with two choices of tea (which is perfect cuz I can pair with sweet and savory), a scone, sandwiches, fruits and three French desserts. You don't leave hungry. The scone of the day is vanilla cranberry and omg it's is so good!! Buttery crumbly and so delicious with clotted cream. All the sandwiches are delicious. They also bake their desserts very well. The experience is well rounded and nothing is left short. The place is a little secluded which offers a little oasis in the hustle and bustle of downtown. The flower arrangements are such nice touches too!

    Tea sandwiches
    Margot R.

    I had the Queen's tea, and enjoyed it a lot. I have been here before, but it has been a while. Each time I enjoyed my experience. Here are my thoughts: Pros: The tea sandwiches were fresh and amazing. The flavors and choices were good. The dessert bites were fun and tasty. The environment is more whimsical. Outdoor seating was more enjoyable than indoors, but indoors does have an allure of it's own (different vibe). Staff seemed nice and helpful. Cons: The scone seemed a little unusual and more like a cookie. It tasted fine though. The list of teas is a little limited, but I was able to find one I liked. Outdoor seating can feel hot midday when drinking hot tea. All in all, I certainly would recommend them to others and would return again.

    Denise S.

    I brought my little one for a mommy and daughter date and we absolutely loved it. The food, the tea, and the entire experience was really great. I really appreciated how kid friendly this is. While I was still drinking tea my little one was given paper and colored pencils to draw and entertain her. The best part was the staff (she may have been the owner). She was incredibly kind and attentive. I enjoyed talking to her and she made our experience even better.

    Such a cute little place. I loved the outside seating. Place is small, only had two tables inside and the rest is on the patio. Super fun to do a girls day here. They have different selections, you pick one tea (hot or cold selections) then it comes with assorted of pastries and sandwiches. I notice a lot of the girls dress up so def a fun place to go with friends and any chance to just dress up!

    3.5 stars, rounded down for slow service. Fair warning, I have a high standard for afternoon tea, after trying at least a dozen places and seeing that there is quite a wide spread for quality, presentation, and service. I had high hopes for this place after reading the reviews, but was disappointed by the super tiny and rather meh tasting sandwiches. They must make all the sandwiches early in the day, because by the time we got our tea service, the many of the sandwiches had dried out bread. The fruit was nice, but the desserts were mediocre and plain. We did, however, really enjoy the teas. We had to wait a very long time before we were offered the second round of tea, so decided to take it to go since our food was long gone. Not their fault, but there was a super loud group of ladies seated next to us, and we could not enjoy our meal in a relaxing manner. Maybe it was an off day, but we were disappointed.

    Cream and sugar
    Eric G.

    TLDR: Cozy little restaurant in a quaint location in Davis, with a very interesting selection of tea options. Tea service is a nice experience, with a focus on the tea and TINY, but tasty, finger sandwiches. The Rest of the story: My wife called on a Thursday for a late afternoon, same-day, reservation for Afternoon Tea and they had availability. GPS lead us to the address where there is street parking. However, the address references the entire group of businesses in this little area, so we had to walk down the walkway, past other interesting stores, to get to the tiny tea shop. Our reservation was one of the last for the day so there were just a few people inside. There appears to be seating for about 14 inside, but there is additional space outside, in front of the shop. Everything about the decor is geared toward tea, complete with shelves of decorative teapots, canisters of various tea leaves and other decorations in the tea theme. There is a desert counter with other treat options available for your perusal. After white tablecloth was draped on the table and china cups and saucers were arranged, we were seated immediately and presented with menus for their list of available teas. Each person selects a tea and they bring it in a small pot of hot water with the loose leaves in a distiller and tiny, 5-minute sand timer. They also bring cream and sugar, with the tiniest stirring spoons I have ever seen! Along with the tea, they brought freshly-made lemon scones with berry preserves and cream. Refills of tea are included but only for the initially selected tea flavor. I would prefer an option to try a different tea upon refills. Shortly after our tea was presented, they brought a 3-tiered server with a selection of finger sandwiches, (cucumber mint, veggie garden, turkey pesto and chicken salad) and 4 miniature cheesecake bites. With the exception of the chicken salad, the other sandwiches were de-crusted sandwich bread, cut into quarters. The chicken salad was served on a miniature brioche bun. Despite our late afternoon appointment, we were able to relax and enjoy our tea and sandwiches without any pressure to cut our time short. Our server, Seleah, was very pleasant, answering all of our questions and attending to any need quickly. The presentation was excellent and my wife loved every minute of the entire experience. Well done!

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.

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.

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.

    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.

    I've never had a good experience with my coffee orders from here. Each time I order an iced latte,…read moreit comes out watery, flavorless, or just sour. I really am unsure what the hype is with this place. However, I do appreciate that they sell pastries. I have always enjoyed their lemon bars. I also like that they have plenty of seating. As for coffee, I'd rather go elsewhere.
