Pastry case
Jenavieve Z.

Small bakery with lots of good eats. There are fresh pizzas by the whole pie or by the slice. Lots of bread to choose from and a beautiful case of pastries! Service is friendly and helpful. I had a little issue with one of my pastries and staff swapped it out no problem~ I got a butter croissant and a cream puff. The pastry style is rustic but charming. The butter croissant is flaky on the outside and decently soft of the inside. Not a lot of puff but buttery delicious nonetheless. It tastes a little oniony since it's right next to a savory pastry in the case, but I like onions so I don't mind~ The cream puff has a firm choux shell, which provide good structural integrity. A little hard for my personal preference but I'm a picky eater haha. The cream is vanillay and overall tasted good~ The places smells so good of pizza so I definitely wanna come back to try more. Btw there are seatings inside and outside. So you can enjoy some hot pizza on the spot!

I am almost positive that I had a dream about a perfect pizza place like the Village Bakery. I was small enough to feel cozy, warm and welcoming, but it was in the middle of Davis nightlife. There was a variety of slices warming under an orange light. The minute we paid for our pizza, it was hot, ready and seconds away from being devoured. The pizza itself was wonderful. I had a host of fresh veggies and a lightly flavored sauce that didn't overpower the vegetables. The crust was sturdy enough to hold the cheese and fixings but chewy enough to pinch and pull and dip in the sauce. I regard an evening in Davis differently after enjoying pizza at this cute spot.

Pizza, bread & cookies

This sweet little Davis bakery has been around for 25 years located on the corner right across from the Amtrak station.Excellent selection of pastries and fresh breads. Also, known for their pizza slices "to go". I always grab a loaf of bread & cookies along with the pizza. A few outside tables for dining. Prices are reasonable. Can be a line for pizza during lunch hour so come early!

Cheese pizza
Noren R.

Order here a lot. One of my top favorite pizza places in Davis. - cheese pizza - veggie pizza Usually ready within 15 to 20 minutes. Slices are already ready to go. The crust is wonderful :)

Parmesan garlic bread
Kacy O.

Loved the convenient location across from the Amtrak station for Davis! Fabulous food at reasonable prices beautifully displayed for "quick" selection if you already know what you want to order. I ordered a slice of cheese pizza, Parmesan garlic bread and whole wheat bread. I was able to get the loaves sliced before I left. Parmesan garlic bread is simply amazing!!! Can't wait to return and try more items. Lovely shop and highly recommend!

Get that chocolate eclair in my belly! (Bottom right)

*** Vegetarian Review *** Village Bakery is a true mainstay in Davis, California, and it's no wonder why. This old school establishment has been serving the community for over 25 years, making it a cherished local gem. Whether you're craving a delicious slice of pizza or seeking the perfect artisan bread to start your day, Village Bakery has got you covered. Their freshly baked breads are a treat for early risers and a testament to their commitment to quality. Would I Come Back? Heck yeah. This is one of places I bring visitors to for a slice of Davis. Plenty of vegetarian options. Comparisons: Their pizzas are cooked in a brick oven so if you're a fan of Upper Crust Bakery on their Wednesday pizza nights, you'll really enjoy Village. Both are bakeries first so their pizza crusts are next level. For a more National comparison, Blaze pizza is close, but again, it's the crust. Tips for First Timers: 1. Free street parking 2. Call in advance or use the App. They can get busy so use your time wisely. 3. Whole pizzas and slices are available after 11am. 4. Daily meal deal ... 1 slice, 1 salad, and 1 soda. 5. Scone of the day. See my photos for the menu. 6. 4 inside chairs. 2 outside tables. And if you happen to be in the mood for something sweet instead, Village Bakery has got you covered there too. Their menu boasts a big selection of housemade desserts that will satisfy any sweet tooth. Indulge in their Napoleons, fluffy cream puffs, decadent eclairs, delectable fruit tarts, or the classic Italian favorite, tiramisu. With such a variety of mouthwatering treats, you'll surely find the perfect ending to your meal. With all the tempting choices available, it's the pizzas at Village Bakery that truly steal the show and make it a must-visit spot. Their diverse menu caters to all palates, including a fantastic range of vegetarian options like the delightful Roasted Bell Pepper, Eggplant, Greek, Artichoke, and Spinach pizzas. And for the meat lovers in your life, they make it easy ... just order the Meat Lovers pizza. Custom Vegetarian Pizza ($27.50, Grade A) - It all starts with their generous 16" cheese pizza, which is already a satisfying choice at $23. But the customization options take it to the next level. For just an additional $1 each, you can enhance your pizza with toppings like mushrooms, tomatoes, and spinach. And if you're feeling adventurous, I highly recommend adding the roasted onions for an extra $1.50. The portion is large enough for three or two particularly hungry individuals. The perfectly melted cheese and melt-in-your-mouth crust make every bite a treat. I personally love enjoying the crusts with pads of butter. Village Bakery strikes a fantastic balance with their toppings, never overloaded or under-loaded, which ensures even cooking and a harmonious bite every time. Desserts: Don't forget to treat yourself to one of Village Bakery's tempting dessert options before leaving. My personal favorite is the indulgent chocolate eclair -- it doesn't leave that film in your mouth after you eat it. And their sticky bun is also a must. Everything is all made in-house and for those that don't like overly sweet desserts, this is your spot. For comparison, California State Fair goers are aware of the famous cinnamon roll (aka sticky bun) in the exhibit hall. I look forward to that particular fair food every year. Eating this sticky bun more than satisfies that yearly craving. Bottom Line: Village Bakery in Davis, California, is a cherished mainstay that has been serving the community for over 25 years. Their friendly service, always hot pizzas, and delicious housemade desserts make it a must-visit spot. Whether you're craving a slice or a whole pie, Village Bakery has earned its enduring reputation for good reason.

garlic parmesan cheese bread
Sam L.

this is garlic parmesan cheese bread (purchased at taylor's in sacramento this morning). eek. inclusions totally unmixed, so theres just a horrible paste of uncooked garlic and unmelted cheese in it. :(

Tiramisu

Got a slice of pepperoni pizza and some tiramisu. The pizza was really good, however the tiramisu was frozen in the middle making it have a crunchy texture. While the flavor was good, the crunchiness put me off.

Can't believe it took me this long to write a review for My Burma. Long overdue. The food is excellent and I keep coming back. A few dishes worth calling out specifically: the Tea Leaf Salad, Sesame Chicken, Coconut Rice, and the Pad Thai. Haven't been able to get to anything else on return trips. One note if you're a heat seeker -- the Pad Thai doesn't get very spicy, even when requested. I like extreme heat, so factor that in accordingly. Most people will find it perfectly seasoned. On my last visit I tried the black rice pudding with ice cream. Don't skip it if dessert is on your radar. Dogs are welcome on the patio, which is a great perk. One thing to be aware of: the gate can be a little tricky to navigate -- something to keep in mind if you or anyone in your group has mobility challenges. My Burma has my business. Highly recommend.

The place itself is really nice. The scenery is cute, modern, and has a great vibe, especially for brunch or special occasions. It definitely feels like a spot you would want to celebrate at or take pictures in. However, the food did not live up to my expectations. My potatoes tasted pretty bland and could have used more seasoning. I also ordered pancakes, and they just were not cooked to perfection. They felt slightly overcooked and not as soft or buttery as I was hoping for. I really think they could have added more butter or richness to bring the dish together. The wait was also pretty long, and for me, it did not feel worth it in the end. The overall style reminds me a bit of Crepeville, but with a more modern look. That being said, I would personally rather spend my money at Crepeville and get better quality food. Overall, the atmosphere is really sweet and enjoyable, but the food just did not hit for me this time. Maybe I did not order the right thing, so I might be open to trying it again, but based on this visit, I was not fully impressed.

A quick Yelp…read moresearch produced Good Friends Hawaiian Poke as a good lead w/ a high rating & relatively healthier fare for takeout. Walking in, it's a bright & clean space. Service ordering at the counter was friendly & patient as I looked over the menu. I eventually zeroed in on the Zesty Flavored Salmon under the Specials/ Rice Bowls. It didn't take long. Handing me the packed to-go container, I immediately noticed its heft. There was a lot of food crammed in there. As soon as I was back in my room, I peeled open the lid to get at the goodies inside. My 1st observation was that there was lot of salmon. A bunch of fresh veggies too. For being on the menu as a rice bowl, there was exactly the right amount of rice underneath everything else. This definitely was not a case of too much rice being added as an empty calories filler. All in all, it was quite tasty. Indeed, even zesty. & enormously filling. Just a massive bowl of delicious salmon/ veg/ rice w/ a sauce that tied it all together. In this economy, Good Friends Hawaiian Poke is a great value. Whenever I'm hungry in Downtown Davis, I'll be back.

Now I always go for the bomb salmon and tuna and add my own toppings, and it is so good every time. The flavors are fresh, well balanced, and just hit in a way the cooked option never did for me. Overall, I am really glad I gave this place a second chance because it completely changed my perspective. If you are unsure about raw fish like I was, I definitely recommend trying it here.

On the recommendation of the counter staff, I ordered the Chicken Breast Classic sandwich, and I ordered fries with no salt (that's a dietary thing, and a secret way to get fries straight out of the fryer). OMG - the sandwich was almost perfect and the fries were perfect. If I were serving that sandwich to guests, I'd ask if they wanted the chicken breast cold or warmed slightly. As noted from other reviewers, the "sourdough" roll is shaped as a round bun which is not as I thought it would arrive. It also didn't have a traditional sourdough tang or texture. It was good, but not very sourdough. Expectations vs. reality. The service was fast and friendly, the restaurant was clean, parking was easy, and I feel like my meal was priced appropriately.

My wife used the restroom while I waited near the entrance. Once we both walked in the manager (around 6'2", beard), from behind the counter told us very abruptly: "If you want to order anything it has to be to go, because we close in 10 minutes. If you want fries, order them now because they take 10 minutes to make." The way this was communicated was not professional or welcoming--it came across as rude and dismissive. There was no greeting, just a sharp directive. Despite this, we went ahead and placed a to‑go order for a tri‑tip sandwich and a Greek salad and paid. I completely understand that businesses have closing times and need to clean and wrap up for the night. That's reasonable. What's not reasonable is speaking to long‑time customers, or any customer, in such an unkind, abrupt manner. A little courtesy goes a long way. Because of this experience, we won't be returning. There are plenty of other local options in Davis that will take our money, while valueing and respecting their customers, regardless of when they walk through the door.

Shah's finally has a physical location, right in the middle of the newly redone University Mall…read more Just like with all the other businesses in the same (strip)mall, the parking is a big problem: there are just too many patrons, and not that many spots. But that should not distract from the yummy Mediterranean food that you can find at Shah's. It's totally worth the hassle with finding a place to park. The interior is on a smaller side, only few tables inside, and the ordering is at the counter. Pick an option from the menu-either a wrap or platter-and the friendly staff will make it in front of you. You just add stuff to it as you go. Think of it as a Middle Eastern Subway or a Chipotle. For the meat options they offer chicken or lamb, but there is also falafel and fish options for those with different dietary needs. We tried both the chicken and lamb, in gyro and platter form. The portions at Shah's are very generous and you can make it even more filling by adding more condiments and toppings to it. Warning: the spicy sauce is actually spicy, not "American spicy", so take that into mind when ordering. I also noticed Shah's also carries burgers and sides such as fries or chicken nuggets, but we did not try that on this visit. For filling and quick meal, Shah's is (still) one of the best options in town. It is great that they're open late and now have a brick-and-mortar presence, so we don't have to wonder where the truck will be parked.
