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

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

We LOVE this bakery! Everything we've tried has been fabulous - clean, tasty, fresh and artful and served by very attentive personnel. There's a patio outside where one can eat and consume their amazing lattes and other goodies including bagels, croissants and a couple of sandwich choices. We would give you more than 5 starts if that were possible. 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

Great pizzas on Wednesday night - just remember to order ahead of time. We ordered the Supreme and the margarita pizza - both were so good. Great pizza base that is crisp and chewy. Flavorful toppings! read more

Delicious baked goods. Neice attentive staff. Luckily the smells don't cause you to gain weight! It smelled wonderful in there

I go to UC Davis Animal Hospital for my dog and when I discovered this bakery last month, I make it a point to come and try their stuff. This time tried the Khorasan sourdough. It is sooooo good. Very moist; the crust is crisp but not hard. Balanced flavor and not overly sour. You ought to try this bread. Service is always great; staff are very friendly. And the place is always clean and well organized. Highly recommended!! read more

Upper crust baking feels like such a core part of Davis, it's hard to believe they haven't been around forever. From their displays of bread and pastries at the Farmers Markets, their bagels and treats in house, to their Wednesday Pizza Nights, they they have something for every part of your day and your week. The fresh baked pizza available for preorder is a must try, the pizzas are large enough to feed two to three people, and come with so many creative toppings. One of our favorites, the Annika, has the freshness of tomato halves, along with the creaminess from the goat cheese, and a generous amount of garlic - my favorite addition to any pizza ever. Plus the pizzas simply look gorgeous, it's hard to wait to get home to try it. My other absolute die-hard favorite product from them is the Birdseed bread loaf, I love to have it as toast with a bit of butter. The bread is textured, flavorful, and such a gorgeous color. The slight sweetness of the raisins with the nuttiness of the seeds makes the perfect combination, and I highly recommend. Definitely check out Upper Crust bakery, they are amazing for so many occasions! read more

Every time, we're in the area, we stop by for a loaf or 2 of sourdough bread - they have many varieties, which they can describe. The employees are friendly and helpful. I don't usually like sourdoughs but I do like theirs! We love the Khorasan. We've also gotten the seeded sourdough which is not as crusty and more like a sandwich bread loaf I've also had the chocolate babka which was just ok. They have tables inside if you like to stay and eat. Remember to check-in for a free cookie! read more

On the 6th my boyfriend and I decided to stop by their booth at the Sunrise Mall Farmer's Market that runs each Saturday from 8:00AM-1:00PM. The woman manning the booth was very acknowledgeable about their merchandise and was both friendly and helpful! I'll review our purchases below! * Brioche Hamburger Buns~ These traditional buttery sweet French buns are handmade and made in small batches! We topped our burgers with Muenster cheese, tomato and spicy Mayo and a side salad and they came out delicious! * Multigrain Whole Wheat~ My daughter has been enjoying this bread with her peanut butter, jelly and honey sandwiches mama makes her! I'm happy to see some healthy ingredients as well, including 9 grain wheat, ancient grains, honey and flaxseed and they are handmade in small batches! I would recommend this bakery and we will definitely be purchasing from them again in the near future! Support small and local businesses, especially now when they need our business the most! read more

Sweeeeeet Monkey Bread For My Monkey Brains! SITREP So much fun to make some quick stops while passing through Davis. THE SETUP On this today's trek: Upper Crust Baking!

OATMEAL COOKIES Also resourcing local ingredients, the Cookies here are outstanding, especially if you are lucky enough to catch them right out of the oven, and into the *hyper-lane* known as YOUR MOUTH. In fact, I have a (signature) method to eating ALL round cookies where in a mere three (3) bites, I can transform the cookie into the Star Wars symbol of THE REBELLION (I've been proud of this from grade school, since "The Empire Strikes Back" (1980). [The Upper Crust COOKIES are also shipped at light speed to cantinas on Tatooine & rebel camps on Lothal far far away....] https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/upper-crust-baking-davis?select=YA21mp6I8ojkQgTI1Bq2WQ&reviewid=kINjWjPCqlJ54V2QKg6jhA THE LOWDOWN Thank you, Upper Crust-team!

Baked Goods, sandwich breads and more! It was my first time here at Upper Crust in Davis. Because of COVID-19 restrictions we were not allowed to enter the store and all transactions were handled at the door. I purchased a large berry almond galette ($10) that's good for up to 4. It had a super flaky golden brown crust that's crumbly cookie-like texture. It had lots of berry and lots of my favorite... almonds! Yum! Freshly baked so nice and hot. I actually preferred to try their chocolate croissants but they ran out quickly at 8:45a (they opened at 8:30a). When I asked about it they said they only made FIVE? Anyway, I'm looking forward to returning for that Cinnamon Monkey Bread... I forgot to grab a loaf. I received complimentary Sarmentine baguettes and they were delicious with that sesame taste. Don't forget to check-in Yelp for a free cookie. We had a choice of raisin or peanut butter... guess which one I chose. They are located next to the Davis Food Co-Op on G Street with lots of parking spaces on a private lot. Review #2078 read more

Got an assortment of pastries, muffins and a coffee for breakfast. Everything was excellent.

I lucked out and found Upper Crust Baking at Orinda Farmer's market. I have been craving for my Challah bread for quite sometime but a recent move to Oakland, I have not been able to find it. I was so excited they had both the cheesy and the raisin Challah available. Purchased both immediately and they were so good. Love how the cheesy Challah had a hint of spice and a kick to it which was fantastic. Going to have to try their pastries and muffins next when I see them next time. I am still craving also for a solid bagel with lox so please PM me if you know a good one! Cheers! read more

I think I just had the best almond croissant ever! Not too much filling, it wasn't too sweet and it was so fresh and light. It was perfect and dangerous. I feel like I could eat a couple in just one sitting. I must go back and try everything else. haha! read more

I work in Davis, so my sweet tooth got the best of me and I did the 5 or so minute walk to the bakery. The place looks very inviting, almost cute. My first venture yielded a pumpkin muffin and a raspberry cookie. Both were delectable, especially the pumpkin muffin. The prices are pretty good for home made bake goods. They have pizza night on Wednesday so I may have to go back to pick up that bad boy. If the picture does any justice to the real thing I am in for a treat. read more

Best people, pastries, and service in the game. Everybody I've interacted with here has been extremely helpful and kind. Had a situation where Christian and Bri took care of me after a mixup. They go above and beyond to make sure you're treated like family. Not the first time they're been awesome and I know it won't be the last. read more

If you are a carb lover, this place will be your best friend and your strongest confidant. If I were a carb lover, I would give this place a 5 star. What can be better than freshly baked bread made with heart and love?! They have a variety of items ranging from pastries, doughnuts, tarts, cookies, bread, and pizza. Every piece of your bakery is made with precision and dedicated skills developed over time with a commitment to perfecting bread recipes. I would love to try their sour dough bread in the future! It's Upper Crust because the quality is classy. read more

Chocolate croissants from here are the absolute BEST. Super flakey, plenty of chocolate inside, and delicious when warm. I've bought these time and time again and they are consistently amazing-- definitely recommend. Recently tried their pizza as well, and felt very meh about it. Not terrible, but wasn't blown away. The crust is really thin and not sturdy (felt almost doughy?), so the pieces would fall apart when lifting them up. The flavors were good-- got a margarita pizza and one of their specials that had prosciutto and arugula (not sure what it was called). read more

This local family-owned Davis bakery has been around for years. All the fresh goodies, using locally sourced ingredients and beautifully presented, they make themselves. The price reflects the quality. Their forte is definitely the excellent foodstuffs rather than the service, though the latter seems to vary with the server. When I used to frequent UCB for the chocolate babka, croissants, and forked baguettes, I found efficient even friendly service, but when I went less often and asked questions (even at less busy times) the worker seemed dismayed. In 2025 they expanded the outdoor seating, obliterating some parking spots and making it less likely for customers to accidentally drive through the front door, however there's a mist falling onto everything (people, food, etc) at the tables. Their Wednesday pizzas are good but not as good as their quotidian fare. There's a Hunan restaurant next door specializing in mouth-burning meals; the reason I mention this is to recommend waiting a few hours for the taste buds to recuperate before enjoying dessert from UCB. A few doors to the north is Mad Alpaca Games, where on Wednesdays there are tables for free-play TTRPG's such as Warhammer and D&D. Some day, in retirement, I may quest with my buddies at MAG and get sandwiches etc from UCB (gotta set a goal in life). read more

No place else like this in town, it's a real neighborhood and establishment! It's got a good ambience and nice mix of daily and special occasion options. Cute outdoor patio, too! read more

Decent baked goods. This review is about their pizza. We bought two pizzas which came out to SIXTY EIGHT DOLLARS. I've had some mixed experiences with the pizzas here. The first time there were issues with the crust being soggy and chewy and the pizza overall being overly salty. However, the owner reached out saying there were issues with this batch of pizza and offered us free pizzas to try again the following week. The next batch was certainly better. The crust was not soggy or chewy like before and the pizzas both looked and tasted as expected. I got the margarita and Pauline. The toppings on the margarita were placed on top rather than baked in. I prefer the tomato to be baked into the pizza but I suppose that is just a personal preference thing. The toppings for the Pauline were great. The herbs and caramelized onions were very tasty. I think these pizzas are a bit overpriced for what they are and I would love to see more consistency between batches, but the customer service was great and the pizzas were not bad the second time around. read more

This place really surprises me. Tucked into a small corner of east Davis next to the co op, you've got a selection of galettes, croissants, baguettes, and other deserts that are pristine and more than just European influenced clearly either the owners or those doing the baking learned some of their trade in France. Before this I thought you'd only find something like this in Los Angeles or New York but here it is in my hometown. If it were in the West Village it would be successful there as well. read more

We are so glad that the store is open to visit in person but they did a great job with online ordering during the pandemic. We absolutely love the Sarmentine baguettes. Just a great flavor. We were disappointed when we stopped by on a Sunday morning (around 7:30am) and they were out of their Pain au Raisin and Pain au Chocolate and the Chocolate covered Macaroons. Their bread options are always fresh. read more

These are one of the neatest cookies everrrrrrr!!!!! The consistency is on point. The size is great!!! The chewiness and crunch is amazing!! I wish they lived next door, but if they did I'd gain so much weight because I don't have self control eating their cookies!!! Funny not funny. My favorite cookies are the chocolate oatmeal kinds! I want some now!! FYI: These are the kinds of treats you hide from your husband and kids!! You eat them in your closet and hide them! If you don't, they'll eat them before you do! Save the argument and choose your battles lol. Seriously though if you have a passion for your sweet stash, lololololol:p [BIG CHEESE GRIN] :D read more

This is a hidden gem in Davis. I just yelped closest pastry bakery since I was in charge of dessert and came across Upper Crust Baking on a Friday evening. I couldn't decide what to get since everything looked amazingly delicious... so I got a couple of things Macaroons dipped in chocolate and a Pear Paysanne. It was such a hit at the dinner table and everyone wanted to know where I got these items. I'm definitely going back to try other pastries read more

You've seen them at farmers' markets. You probably have tasted their breads at restaurants. You can now pick up their breads, cookies, and other delectable items seven days a week at their charming bakery. It's amazing the variety of baked goods come out of that small place. Even though most people probably come in to take their goods home the bakery offers seating indoors and out. The blue and white woven chairs set the mood for a pleasant place to enjoy a cup of Pachamama coffee and a fresh baked pastry. When you compare the price of a loaf of bread at the grocery store (with all of it's additives and stabilizers and sugars) to the breads offered at Upper Crust Baking (simple ingredients, mostly local, no additives) you'll realize that the price for a loaf of their bread is very reasonable. read more
