Came back today - told you! And did not disappoint again. Got the dark chocolate demi (mini) baguette and it hit the spot! Aesthetically very French and the taste was very European as it was a smooth subtle dark chocolate unlike some sweet ones you can encounter. Best part was that it was crunchy on the outside and very fluffy and soft on the inside. Almost like Dutch crunch I'd get for a sandwich without it hurting the roof of my mouth. The crunchy outside was not too hard either since harder shell can make the eating experience frustrating. The look of it was stunning and the inside was nice and airy like the Asian baos I usually go for due to the lightweight nature of the inside. Great contrast to the baguettes crust and carbs did not make me feel heavy at all. Chefs kiss 5/5! read more

So the staff was 10, bit the pizza last night was not came back and brought friends as we were so excited from last week, unfortunately it was very different from last week We ordered the raclette pizza again this time is was more arugula than anything did not taste the shallots or for that matter raclette cheesewe felt like we had let our guests down as the cheesy goodness was not there Salad was good. But I think it might be an awhile before we come back. It was a pricey night for just okay food I don't know what happens last night but it was read more

I usually buy Upper Crust Baking's raisin challah bread from Sacramento's Sunday Certified Farmers Market because it's my fav challah bread. This time, their cinnamon babka caught my eye, so I thought to try it by bringing it home for the holidays. The kind vendor gave me helpful storage tips, when I asked how long this can keep in room temp, and tips for freezing if needed. I was so full from Christmas eve dinner, so I thought I would try just one piece of the babka for dessert. Nope! It's so scrumptious that I sliced and ate two more pieces! I will be buying this again next time and gifting this to friends and family! Upper Crust Baking has been a fav since my and my friend's college days, so I love how I can continue to be spoiled with access to their delicious treats at our local farmer's market! read more

Upper Crust Baking - Cardamom bun! I will always get this if they have it. That's sugar on top not salt. - Bakeries Near Me - Davis, California

Pastries, bread, and pizza are delicious and sell out fast. Service today was mid, guy wasn't super friendly and didn't ask which pasión (spelling?) we wanted, so we got a random one. Iced tea was undrinkable, so over-steeped and bitter I should've gone back to get a refund. The music playing was weird af too, it sounded like some weird death meditation music. Overall I'd come back for the delicious bread, pastries, and pizza but wouldn't want to spend more than 10 minutes inside. read more

Just discovered Upper Crust, and it is my new favorite place to study. The patio is so cute and quiet, perfect for a little study moment. The people are always super nice, and they seem eager to help. There's a big dude named Christian who always takes my order, and he is so sweet and makes me feel very welcome. The pastries are the best in Davis. The kouign amann is everything, and I would do crazy things for their savory scones. read more

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). read more

This is a cute little bakery. When I walked in there were four women sitting at a table knitting. All the other tables were full too. There were outside tables but it was too cold for that. The young man behind the counter was polite and answered my questions. He seemed the quiet sort so there were no extra words thrown into his answers. I ordered some chocolate croissants and lemon(ade?) cookies. The chocolate croissants were good. The croissant was buttery and flakey. The chocolate part was less ok but still good. The lemon cookies though were amazing. I would definitely come back for them and to try something else. We came late in the day so there might be a better selection earlier. Still, definitely worth trying. read more

WOW FACTOR? Yes, the outdoor patio is very nice but needs more protection from the sun. HAVE AGAIN: Sesame bagel with cream cheese was very good. Chocolate rugelach was excellent. We arrived for lunch just after 11 am, but the sandwiches from Winters had not yet arrived. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

I already loved Upper Crust, and all of the delicious things that they make, but after going there this past Wednesday to have pizza out on the patio, I feel compelled to leave a review. My friends and I were delighted to meet Mateo, a new employee who literally made each of us feel like an old friend! It is rare to meet someone who emanates sunshine, but that is precisely how it was to be around Mateo. So now Upper Crust has not only yummy offerings, but an employee who will go out of his way to visit and engage and make you feel better than when you walked in. read more

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. read more

We just moved to Winters from Hawaii where we are spoiled with Japanese style baked pastries. UCB did not disappoint in Food, Service, or Ambiance. It's a very nice bakery with a home like atmosphere. The pastries were light and fluffy not to forget tasty as well. If the cost wasn't a little pricey I definitely would be back more often. Once I get a job I will be back at least once a week. read more

I keep meaning to do my review for Upper Crust and now it's been awhile but here it is... I haven't been to the actual bakery in quite some time so my review is of the food not the actual physical bakery. My friend brought over bagels and bread while I was home recuperating. All I can say is yum! The bread was hearty and fresh. I wanted to save it for sandwiches but ended up eating it just plain. Bagels were also really good. I will be visiting the bakery in the near future. read more

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! read more

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! read more

This shop is located next to the Davis Food Co-op in a small strip mall. The parking lot is fairly sized but could be crowded depending on the time of day. Service was nice, polite, patient, and helpful! American, Jewish, and French inspired pastries, breads, cakes, cookies, etc. Unfortunately, we were headed to a lunch party so we couldn't try all the delicious baked goods. We bought some Lemon Crinkle Cookies and some Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies. Though, when we opened the package, we were slightly disappointed that it read Oatmeal Cookies with bold print, "CHOCOLATE CHIP PEANUT BUTTER." They were harder than expected as I prefer a softer cookie. We really enjoyed the Lemon Crinkle Cookie. It was in the display case and individually sold. Wow, I'm so glad we tried this! The cookie was sweet, citrus-y, and moist. Good thing we live too far away. Otherwise, we would come and get this cookie every day! REMINDER: Yelp Check-in for a free baked cookie. Next time, we will try some of their pastries! read more

UPDATE (three stars): The owner reached out the same day to apologize and make it right. I appreciate the effort, even though I won't be going back. ____________________________ ORIGINAL REVIEW (one star): I'm so disappointed. My daughter was visiting town for a wedding, and we went to Upper Crust Baking this morning (6/21/25) at 10:45 or so. It was my idea because I received a coupon in the mail for a free coffee with the purchase of a pastry and a free croissant with the purchase of any espresso drink (see their Instagram post). I figured she could use one coupon and I could use the other. She likes espresso drinks, and I like black coffee. The first employee helping us was very nice. We told her it would be two separate purchases. Unfortunately, the manager or shift supervisor came up and snapped at the employee and us saying we could only use one coupon per day. I said it was two transactions, and she was obviously very irritated. She gave up and let us make the purchases. I live less than a half a mile away from the bakery. I went in once a while ago when it was a smaller operation, and I buy their products at local stores. When I walked in today, I made comments about how nice it was getting. This could have been an opportunity for the bakery to gain a new customer, but they lost one instead. All that for a free coffee and croissant. And do you want to hear about the free coffee? The employee handed me a tiny paper cup (think Dixie or Starbucks pup cup) and pointed me to a big dispenser in the back. I did not expect that. We waited for my daughter's fancy espresso drink, watching the manager tell customers when their coffees were ready. When my daughter's drink was ready, the manager sat it on the counter and walked away. My daughter had to walk up and ask the other employee if it was her drink. The nice employee smiled and said yes. All of this because we used two coupons for two people. read more

Recently came here at about 1pm and they were sold out of almost everything but that is normal because it is thanksgiving and it was later in the day. The service was good they were very nice and help for everything. The baked goods that I tried were very good. I got the classic New York cheesecake, hot chocolate, and chocolate mousse. For everybody with nut allergies a lot of item contained almond flour and for people with gluten allergies there is about ten gluten free items. Recommend is you are ever in Davis for coffee and baked goodies. read more

I love pastries, cake, and good bread... Upper crust had all that and more. I went on Wednesday night so they were having a pizza night but I was js there for some croissants. I wanted to try their chocolate almond one but they said it's only offered on weekends-- bummer... but their regular chocolate croissants were SO GOOD... the chocolate has a dark & rich flavor and after warming it up for a couple seconds I was so glad I bought 2. I also got the chicken noodle soup and it's pretty good. I added a bit more seasoning to it tho because I like my soups pretty seasoned. I'm definitely coming back to try the other croissants and would LOVE to try their cakes one day. People there r really friendly & the place feels very cozy. I fell in love with the aesthetics of it when I walked in. I wish I found this bakery sooner I would've visited every wk. read more

We were visiting our granddaughter who is going to UC Davis and went to this bakery to purchase a cheesecake for her birthday. It was about 8 inches round and was $32.00. If it had been delicious, it would have been well worth the price. However, it was stale, dry, and flavorless. A disappointing purchase. No one could take more than a few bites. We tossed the remainder. read more

I bought a lemon Charlotte entremet yesterday and was disappointed that the interior of the cake was almost completely the same texture. Very fluffy mousse with a soft layer of lemon curd as the center "layer". You could barely discern that there were layers at all. difficult to understand how they could call that dessert an "entremet" We've had the Earl Grey entremet that was excellent. This cake was very disappointing. read more

Awesome selection of pastries and bread. Go to is croissant ($5) or kouign ($6) get there early for the kouign amann. Bakery is busy, but very fast service and knowledgeable on products from their source of ingredients. Another items to get are their bagels, very fine crumbs with a chewy texture. Outdoor patio space to enjoy your tasty treats. A great place in Davis for some delicious sweet treats. read more

The chocolate babka was extraordinary. I ate cardamom, it was yummy. I'd come back - good bakeries are rare.

Located next to the Co-op, Upper Crust Baking offers baked goods such as pastries, donuts, tarts, and cheesecake, and also pizza, bread, and coffee. I ordered a chocolate babka loaf and a cinnamon babka loaf because the guy in front of me took the last HUGE maple donut (boo - it looked so good!). Both babkas were very good. Nice and fluffy interior and a sturdy exterior. Fillings were on point too - just the right amount. They even kept well for the next day, and I suspect they could have kept for an additional day...if I hadn't finished them! Service was super friendly! read more

All the times I've visited, wait times have always been long. Customer service could be better. The older gentleman is welcoming but some of the younger staff could use some training, especially one of the tall blond women. The last time I went I wanted to make a second order since I forgot something the first time; stood by the counter for what seemed like a long time. A few staff just stood around and didn't even acknowledge me. A simple "someone will be with you soon" suffices. Now onto the drinks and pastries. I love bread. But I really don't understand the hype of bread here. But their coffee? I've ordered their iced agua dulce latte and it's definitely worth putting up with the long wait times and inattentive staff. This isn't my go-to place for coffee but if I wanted something different that wasn't found in other areas of Davis, I'd go here. read more
