Cardamom bun! I will always get this if they have it. That's sugar on top not salt.
Anna T.

Best pastry. Arnold Palmer, house made iced tea and lemonade. Relaxing patio, kind staff.

Bakery stuff
Robert V.

Came here today to join the Wednesday pizza night. Having tried a few of their menu items last week, it was an easy choice for a family dinner night for my daughter's birthday. Great pizza, and great dessert! This bakery is special - you can taste the passion in their products. They've got a nice reward program as well, both online or a paper card. The menu is primarily desserts (tarts, pastry, cookies, cheesecake, and few others) and baked bread items from loaf/sliced breads, bagels, pretzels, to croissants. Very much enjoy finding this spot due to an event last week. Will be coming here for special weekend coffee and breakfast trips, and the occasional pizza night. Looking forward to trying the Winters location as well to try out the donuts! Ambiance of a small bakery with a window bar style seating, cute indoor table, and additional outdoor seating. Busy and lots of traffic on pizza nights, have yet to join for what I expect to be a busy morning coffee and pastry rush! Highly recommend - order ahead on pizza night! (Check out the website for details).

Delicious chocolate croissant and almond croissant! I love how they offer pizza nights so I look forward to coming with my family and friends! Service was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about everything they offer. Only outdoor seatings are available.

Chocolate babka loaf
Siu M.

Stopped by this cute shop in Davis for fresh bread! Both the croissant and the chocolate babka loaf were amazing. Look how airy the croissant is! It's conveniently located next to the CO-OP with plenty parking. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and very knowledgable about the items they are selling. I lived in Davis for 5 years, rarely visit, but am always surprised with new awesome places like this! They have another location in Winters. Both are worth the drive!

Racks of food
Linda P.

Overall great food, service and atmosphere! I had their fruit tart and the crust is very good. I normally wouldn't pick blueberry but it turned out very pleasant. I had their Pauline Pizza and the rosemary was a nice touch. The combination with onion and the crust work excellent together.

Counter
Tomomi S.

Cheesecake!! I had a small piece of it and it was plenty. Rich and creamy. Not too sweet and dense. A bit pricy side so it'll be my special occasion treats. Savory scone (this one had blue cheese and something else) was very tasty for next day's breakfast. I'd like to try other pastries/cake next time!

I've always loved Upper Crust Baking from farmers markets. Their apple turnover and apricot pastry are so delicious. Today I stopped by the bakery in Davis and absolutely love the cozy vibes. I got here a little late but I'm happy to see butter croissants still available. I got one and upon picking it up I already love that it is clean to the touch (not oily or crumbly). It is buttery, simple yet so tasty! It's beautifully puffed with good layers. Love. Service is friendly and helpful. I asked about pizza night and the staff gave me lots of info and a flyer that has coupons in them~ I will definitely come back to try more. More pastries, drinks and event pizza night.

Covered outdoor patio
Joel M.

There only thing better than the bread are the pastries. And there coffee is great as well. But my favorite part of Upper Crust Davis is the outdoor patio. Shade and misters - what more could one ask for?

savory scone of the day / free sticker!!
Alexis M.

the staff is so sweet and welcoming! i'm always happy to find a queer friendly shop, especially one that is focused on farm-to-table fresh food. there is plenty of seating and it has a very warm earthy honey vibe :) i got the savory scone of the week, which had cheddar cheese, jalapeño, corn, and red pepper in it. it was honestly one of the best scones i've had in a long time, not too dense and plenty moist - i also got the cold brew (with dulce as a sweetener/no milk) and was pleasantly surprised with how much i enjoyed it! i don't usually love cold brew without milks but it wasn't too sour and had a nice rounded taste. i'm glad i finally decided to come in, i will definitely be coming back!

Large take away menu!
Tori B.

It looks like I have not reviewed this place in sometime and it definitely needs some updating. IT'S STILL FREAKING AWESOME!! There have been some exciting new additions. First, they have recently remodeled, and now have a patio out front. This was the result of an unfortunate accident where a patron drove a car into the bakery. It took quite some time for them to recover and rebuild. So exciting! You can also get a delicious coffee or latte to go with your pastry. Pizza. YES. Pizza. Wednesday night is pizza night. If you get on their mailing list, you will get an email reminding you of the weekly specials. You order online and pick it up at the time of your choosing. They have some absolutely fantastic selections. Very unique! And it's the best pizza in town, hands-down. Why? The crust. The crust is absolutely perfect. Not doughy, not spongy, but instead, crisp and a teeny tiny bit charred-- perfection! (insert chefs kiss here!) As always, the baked goods are divine. A while back they had some ginger cookies that had me coming on a daily basis! If you need a cake for a special occasion, this is a great place to pick one up. They also do some incredible stuff around the holidays. You can order online to pick up holiday breads, and desserts. These are special offerings for these holidays only. Honestly, I will probably do this forever. Everything is so perfect and I don't need to make a mess of my kitchen! Highest recommendation!

See all

I'm trying to order pizzas but the website won't let me. It says there are not enough in supply. It says this regardless how many I try to order. The website says you can order online or call but I call and a woman stated that I can't. Why?

Can you get a cup of coffee there, too?

Yes! We do pour-over coffee from Pachamama Coffee Roasters, a farmer-owned cooperative based in Sacramento.

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.

They offered a TON of flavors. They ranged from Honey, Ginger and Turmeric to Cherry Chai to plain old vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. I opted for a single scoop of the Honey, Ginger and Turmeric and my son got a scoop of Lemon and Golden Oreos on a cone. We both enjoyed our respective flavors. I love golden drinks so I thought an ice cream version would be yummy! Same for the lemon flavor for my son. The scoops were $4.50 each so it wasn't unreasonable. I'd say it was closer to a soft-serve texture than ice cream. Service was great. It wasn't busy, so we were helped right away!

We are inside and that's what I observed. It's a tiny space but it wa clean. Love that they had a drink fridge divided up into "milks" on one side and a "not milks" on the other side. I've never heard of Insomnia Cookies but my son did. So he already knew what to get: an ice cream cookie sandwich. There are classic cookies to choose from but a few deluxe cookies and brownies that costs more and are larger in size. TOTALLY WORTH IT!! And also a variety of ice cream flavors. I was very happy to see that they had an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie with walnuts and no disgusting little raisins. Yay!! I ordered that and a chocolate peanut butter cup. These cookies were boxed warm. They were gooey and delicious with a fresh out of the oven goodness!! I died. I was very pleasantly surprised that their cookies were still good the next day. I was afraid they would taste as good at room temp, but they are still very good and fresh! Good on them for having 3 vegan cookie options and 1 gluten-free cookie. Also, thanks for having alternative milk choices. I love Oatly!
