Theres sooo much hype about this place so we went to go try!!…read more Its in very rural davis-ish. Its like a plot of dirt then the lil stand. They have their famous pies as well as produce and some other stuff, but its a very small shop with like 4 tables outdoors. Def a stop on your way somewhere, not necessarily a destination. Their pie slices were like $8 a slice and a whole pie was $30. They also had many more options for whole pies vs pie slices, but its possible its because we went later in the day? They had some savory pies, cold pies, but mostly baked pies like peach, various berries, etc! They also have fruit freezes you can purchase too! We ended up sharing a banana cream pie and i got a peach pie too. The banana cream pie was HEFTY. It was HEAVY and PACKEDDDD. A LOT of cream a LOT of banana filling. Very yummy though and feeds a lot more people than you'd think. The peach pie was also very good! Im not a huge "cooked fruit" person and neither is mt family but we demolished the pie. The peaches were a surprisingly nice texture! And the crust was very good. $30 is a bit steep but if theyre using fresh fruits and baking them fresh its worth a stop if youre in the area!

The Davis location is much smaller than the original Auburn one as it looks more like a large indoor farmstand than a restaurant. But it had what I needed in the freezer (the chocolate cream pie and the chciken and steak pot pie) so we didn't have to drive an additional half hour. We drove 2 hours the weekend before her arrival to pick up a frozen one that we just need to defrost in the fridge overnight. But coming in at 2 lbs and only 3 days to eat it, had to freeze 1/3 of it so it will pass TSA and make it on her flight back East. Wonder if this is the most traveled pie outside of shipping it across country.

You can see a lot of the prep happening which feels intentional and adds to the whole aesthetic. It was packed (but also... every cafe in Davis is packed??), and I got lucky snagging a seat. There's indoor plus a covered outdoor area that I loved. Menu-wise, if you eat everything you're thriving. Vegetarians have options. Vegans... you can make it work, but you'll be doing a little remixing. Plenty of non-dairy milks though, so drinks are easy. And speaking of -- the yumberry spritzer?? yeah I'm thinking about it again. I'm not even a carbonation person and somehow this was insanely good. Got the berry, already planning my return for the blue one. Staff looked like actual pastry chefs (uniforms on point), super friendly, good energy all around. Also randomly spotted a Korean item on the menu which threw me for a second but I'm into it. There's grab-and-go too if you're in a rush. Not my first pick if you're strictly vegan and want a full spread, but still really cute and worth popping in... if only for that drink.

A bit pricey, but very visually appealing so it's sure to please if giving these as a gift. We…read moretried several items, the cookies were my favorite as far as taste, the rest were all very sweet, requiring coffee to cut the sweetness. I felt like I would've liked a little more cake to the desserts, as the various filling take up most of the dessert. The apple taste like apple pie filling surrounded by a white chocolate. The passionfruit was the only one I didn't like, thought it tastes like soap, but I'm not a passionfruit fan. The cherry was sweet but light in flavor, the chocolate hazelnut was the best, tasting like a large Ferrero Rocher. That's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating.

I love Davis creamery!…read more Since my freshman year, I have been going to Davis creamery! It is one of my favorite places to bring friends to, or show to people visiting Davis. I like that they choose to make their ice cream in store rather than buying it in bulk or ordering it from a factory. If you are looking for a quick ice cream treat, I would 100% reccommend checking this place out! Everyday of the week, they have some sort of deal or happy hour sale going on which is worth it to schedule into your day. They have many different flavors and toppings and they do allow sampling! For those who cannot have dairy, they also have dairy free options which is why this place is a go to for large groups or people new to Davis! There are options for everyone. One thing to note, they do not have seating inside and oftentimes they have long lines. But they do have seating right outside under street lights. On busy days, staff are alwasy working as fast as they can and they are always happy to help. The best way to avoid the lines? Go before meals or go earlier in the day :) after dinner is always the busiest time. In the spring, you can also submit a flavor you'd like them to make and if it makes it into the running, it will enter the month of bracketology where visitors try new flavors created and the favorite will be added to the menu for a while. If you are new or just stopping by, I would reccommend trying this place! If you find a flavor you really love, you can always take it home in a pint!

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.

The space is larger than I anticipated, which was nice. I checked out their specials and opted to order their olive latte (it was made with olive oil). I was hoping they had some type of pastry, but alas, nothing except a few prepackaged bars. Once I got my latte, I took a seat. The latte was OK. I thought I may be able to taste/at least smell the olive oil undertones, but didn't. The latte was good. Will I be back? Maybe.

We are occasional visitors to Tea List, but hadn't been in a while when we stopped in yesterday…read more I love what they've done with the outdoor space. 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.

The detached patio was cute but the insulated plastic covering kept hitting the back of my head whenever a large gust of wind blew by. I was probably smacked at least 3 times lol High Tea service comes with: Scones with Devonshire cream and jam 5 types of finger sandwiches 3 types of desserts Small variety of fruit (some of ours looked old and dry like the apple slices) 4 pots of tea for 2 people (I believe each person gets to choose 2 flavors each) Highlights for me: Cranberry orange scone with Devonshire cream Cucumber cream cheese sandwiches Curry chicken salad sandwiches Bella coola tea Service was great. I wished each teapot was labeled or had some sort of tag to indicate which was which. Overall, a great first high tea experience. This is a wonderful spot for little tea parties, birthday celebrations, or just general chismis hahaha

My kid got a matcha. There's lots of other places that serve coffee but it just tasted like milk. I would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area. I'm kind of sad that I live so far away from it. I'd be there every week. Bonus: they have food trucks in the parking lot. So grab some food while you're at it.
