    Thai Iced Tea and Sunny With a Chance of Matcha
    Sharyl J.

    I was visiting Davis and craving matcha, so I stopped by and ordered the Cloudy With a Chance of Matcha, from what looked like their seasonal menu. It was sooo good, 10/10! The original recipe does contain dairy/heavy cream, but they were able to make it with a non-dairy coconut option instead, which was great! It was very busy but the line went pretty fast. The girls working were also very friendly and efficient. If only I had this cafe where I lived, I would be here often!

    I really enjoy Temple Coffee and have been to the majority of their locations. I came here years ago for a drink but stopped at the Davis location most recently to get some beans for gifts. Service was friendly and attentive. Seating definitely can be a challenge. There's a row of seating along the window and that was fully occupied on a late weekday morning.

    Wow, what an awesome coffee shop to stumble upon during our roadtrip! It was packed, but the workers were quick to take orders. I tried the matcha latte and I appreciate being asked if I'd like sweeter or not. The matcha itself was the perfect amount of bitterness and not diluted. A big highlight was the pastries, the lemon poppy seed pound cake was light and coffee cake donut had a delightfully soft bite to it. Highly suggest checking out Temple, parking might take a bit to find too!

    Perhaps one of the best matcha lattes you can get in Davis. I said it! The interior of the cafe is very modern and minimal, the furniture is very unique to the place, I love the plants. When you come to a cafe to do work, its nice to see unique touches and greenery. Its a very busy cafe, but I argue its the great work of the baristas on deck! Lattes that are coming out of a college town cafe are way better because the baristas just know our palettes and the integrity of making a drink. When I placed an order for my matcha, the baristas went straight to the rigorous whisking, and it takes legitimate arm strength to get frothy matcha. Its not for the weak. The seasonal drink items tell me that they are likely making their syrups in house. The pastry case looked amazing. Also since my drink was made to order the temperature was perfect. I had a great tasting experience. For students: since it is crowded it is a hit or miss whether you can find seating, let alone outlets. Wifi is available.

    I found out there's also a Temple Roasted Coffee in Davis and decided to stop by for a latte and an onion croissant with bacon. The staff was very friendly, the coffee was great, and the croissant was delicious. The atmosphere is also really nice. Since it's located on a university campus, there are a lot of busy students around, but it doesn't take away from the experience at all, you can still relax and enjoy your coffee and food. Make sure to leave a tip at places like this, the service is excellent, and even something small like 50 cents is appreciated. Thanks, Temple Roasted Coffee!

    It was packed with a line out the door on a Sunday. When there is a line, they take your order while you're in line, before you reach the register. The inside was well lit with plenty of natural sunlight. While waiting in line, we tried the coffee sample they had available. The wonder blend was super fruity. I was surprised that coffee could even taste like that. I didn't like it but my boyfriend took a bag home. I got one of their specials at the moment. the Camp Crush - "fresh watermelon syrup, vibrantly paired with matcha and sparkling water". I didn't like it and didn't end up finishing it. My friend also tried it and didn't like it. There are a lot of pastries on display next to the register. You're bound to find something you like

    The quality is average. I think overpriced for its quality staff are nice though. We got the latte and it is on the bitter side

    Sencha Kyoto Green Tea

    My husband is an espresso hound. We stopped in here when he was in need of a good shot of espresso. He was very impressed. He said the Dharma espresso is every bit as good as his favorite espresso at his favorite shop. I don't drink coffee but tea is for me!! I had a Sencha Kyoto green tea. Bonus points for it being loose leaf tea and they do not put it in a bag to steep. It was served in a lovely ceramic pot with a removable steeping basket. Their selection of goodies was pretty picked over but what they had looked good. They do have various coffee and tea accessories and lots of bags of coffee for sale. We come to Davis often. This will make it on our rotation of places to visit when we are in Davis. The service was efficient and friendly. The interior is bright and pleasant. Lots of students working on their laptops. It is lively and charming inside. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

    Clean, modern interior with SF vibes. Bench, counter, and table seating both indoors & out. Greeting people in line with a smile is always a great way to start customer engagement, and that's consistently the case here. The free sample of their newest (or fav) brew is also a nice touch while you're in line. The espresso is solid, perfect temperature, and served with a glass of sparkling (as it should always be). Lots of good looking pastries, but not much of a morning snack collection if you are looking for some protein. My vote for the best espresso spot in town.

    My number one favorite cafe in all California. Pastries are delicious. The coffee, chai, and matcha are all perfect. Such a nice place to study, catch up with friends, or get a pick me up!

    This coffee shop is great. Convenient location in downtown, consistent quality, friendly service, and good buzz. Line can get long but it goes surprisingly quick. There's decent amount of space for students to bring their laptops...though I don't really know how you can get much studying done with all the commotion. Anyways...highly recommended!

    Bear Claw
    John C.

    I came here around 7AM in the morning, and there were a couple of people inside doing some work/ drinking coffee. The barista was nice greeting me and grabbed my order before I headed to the register. I ended up getting a bear claw to eat and a matcha latte with oat milk. It was little bit pricey with me spending around $13. Bear Claw: This pastry was pretty solid. There was a nice flakiness to the pastry and the filling was not overly sweet. The pastry was a pretty solid bear claw. Matcha Latte (w/ Honey): The baristas brought the drink out to where I was sitting. The drink was more on the bitter side (which I enjoy), and I didn't taste too much of the sweetness. As I was finishing up my food, it got really busy with about 10+ people coming in and forming a line. This place can get really busy with limited seating to work/ study so be wary of that if you decide to come in. Nonetheless, it was a great place to enjoy my morning drink. I love to see this Davis staple continuing to thrive.

    Does Temple Coffee still have outdoor seating (patio) as of Aug 1 2022?

    Doesn't seem like it.

    Do they have pumpkin spice lattes in the fall?

    No they do not. They don't typically do syrups in their drinks but I think you can ask for vanilla.

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.

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.

They have a shade canopy set up with dangling purple flowers and it really adds to the atmosphere. The music also adds excellent ambiance. We had high tea with no reservation and no wait. The waitress was eager and helpful while leaving us space to enjoy at leisure. The tea was excellent and reminded me that part of the joy of tea is slowing down to fully enjoy the flavors and experience. The sandwiches were lovely and light and plentiful that we could have been well full if we'd come in hungrier ( we had a few to take home and look forward to enjoying them) the desserts and fruit were perfect. The chocolate managed to be rich in flavor and light in texture. The pastry was delectable. I picked up the loose leaf earl grey cream and enjoyed it this morning.

On average it takes around 22 minutes to get there from Sacramento. Parking can be a challenge. There is some street parking, but I prefer to park in one of their lots. The lot I choose has 3 hour 3 parking. Tea List is hidden down a pathway behind Pence Gallery, one of our favorite Galleries to visit. If you don't know it's there you may never find it. I found them googling high tea salon in the area. It's the only high tea salon for miles that I'm aware of. Granted there are lots of tea and boba shops around, but those are not the same as having high or afternoon tea. For variety we used to go to a Tea Salon in SF's Japantown, but they have since closes so we are very limited on High Tea salons. We've been coming here for years and we have a great experience every time we do. To me Tea List is a special occasion place and this being a special occasion we popped in. To my happy surprise they were still open and seating was available. There were several tables open when we arrived and 5 tables were in different stages of their tea parties. In the past I've always made reservations a week in advance. When we walked in we were informed that they were only serving their 4 different tea service options. They sometimes serve individual items, but I've never gone when that was an options so that is a little mystery to me as to when you can offer individual items instead of ordering a whole tea service. I ordered us the Afternoon Tee for $27.50 each, I belive there is minimum order of 2. This is the least expensive of the tea services and also provides the least variety. The presentation was spot on. They first brought out matching tea cups and saucers and gold rimmed plates. The sugar was served in individually wrapped packets in a sugar holder and the cream was in a creamer dish. The tea was served in plain white tea pots and we were given a 3 minute timer for the tea to steep. The loose leaf tea was in mesh bags to keep the leaves contained. The sandwiches and desserts were served on a 3 tiered platter and beautifully arranged. Though it's plenty for us. We were first served warm berry scones with fresh Devonshire cream. They were Devine. It helped that the scones were soft and flakey. My favorite sandwich is the cucumber mint, but.... The bread was kind of stale so that was a bit of a bummer. The chicken salad was ok, I wish it came with more grapes and something lighter then the huge roll it was on. The roll was over powering. The veggie garden was good. I liked it on the petite toasted French roll at the same time it really didn't do anything for me. My mom liked the turkey pesto one, it came on wheat bread. The bread complimented the sandwich. For dessert there were 2 French pastries. A vanilla macaron. I would have preferred pistachio as that is my favorite, but vanilla is good too. There was a Neapolitan. It was very flakey and hard to eat. I liked the macaron better. For fresh fruit they were thinly sliced kiwi, orange, apples, and strawberries. A petite serving. We sat outdoors under their awning. They draped fake wisteria along the front and back of the awning. Even being fake, it was quaint. Before we sat they draped a white tablecloth over the table. They presented me with a menu and lots of the items were crossed off. It was kind of tacky. They really need to redo their menus. On the back side of the menu they offer Strawberry Long Island tea, sadly they said they use a new distributor and they don't offer that tea anymore. This is really sad as it's my favorite tea. We were given a small list of the current teas they were serving as the menu is outdated. We had two green teas, a single tea pot per person. Pomegranate Hibiscus and Lavender Butterfly. After adding the cream (Whole Milk) and sugar (brown packets of Sugar in the raw they both tasted pleasantly the same. We added a single packet of sugar to each cup. The tea was very tasty and I would order those two flavors again. Overall the tea service was delightful. They can use some minor improvements, but even that said we will be back for our next special occasion.
