    Macchiato
    Han-Nha T.

    Friendly barista, more chatty ambiance just a little out of the way. Still bustling but not cramped like Mishkas. Doesn't appear to have many chargers for working like Temple does. I got a macchiato medium roast and it was quite sour; I dont blame them for it though. Decent prices. I'd be interested in coming back for something else too like their drip coffees. I came at 2pm and didnt seem to have any food items left.

    Busy spot, small parking lot. Great hidden gem off Olive Drive. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Prices are reasonable and coffee drinks were solid. My friend got a capucino with a beautiful swan. I forgot the young lady's name, but she's got latte art skills! If I see her working, I'll definitely order something she can decorate for me (I heard she does the cutest bear!). I had the cold brew with pistachio cold foam. The foam was thick and creamy, but very mild in pistachio flavor. Cold brew itself was bold. The inside and the patio were full and crowded with people and their laptops. This was on Saturday around noon. We were able to share a picnic table with a solo customer. I saw that they have a free comedy show on Fridays. Great place to hang out if you are lucky enough to snag a parking spot and a seat. Nice caffeine addition outside of downtown!

    Pumpkin Latte & Toasted Marshmallow Latte
    Lynette T.

    Volt is a solid coffee shop that is a bit farther off Downtown Davis! I enjoyed two of the seasonal fall drinks and the barista gave good recommendations on the roast for the drinks. The toasted marshmallow latte is a good drink for those with a sweet tooth as it runs a bit on the sweeter side. A downside is that parking is very sparse in the lot so you might have to find parking elsewhere on the street if you're looking to visit!

    London fog
    Brian G.

    This spot is a bit out of the way from the foot traffic so I only just tried it now. London Fog: A Loved the drink. Earl grey with milk and sugar, super refreshing. The vibe of the place is modern yet cozy, so I would definitely say this is a cool spot to hangout or study. They have a lot of seasonal drink items as well that sounds pretty good like the pumpkin ones or ube drinks.

    S'mores latte

    God I'm going to miss Volt so much. I waited so long to write this review almost out of a gatekeep vibe, even though I let everyone I ever knew irl know how much I love Volt. My drink is always consistent there, the service is great. Jackie is doing her best to make changes that positively impact the customer while making sense for the business. I have seen quite a few price increases while coming here for over a year, but they have a loyalty program that helps (put your phone number in and receive points per purchase) and it's worth it to get a great coffee over a mid coffee for a few dollars cheaper imo. The parking situation is a bit bad but I've always found a way around it. There is a decent amount of outdoor seating which is great on a nice day to study outside or chat with people. They run great promotions like BOGOs or bring your own cup for a discount etc. And they have trivia and bingo! Yes, I am the proud winner of a bingo night They do mobile ordering if you're in a rush or don't like socializing. But honestly the baristas are so nice I think it's worth it to come in and make conversation. You won't regret getting to know them. I have nothing but good things to say about Volt. I'm going to miss it so much now that I've moved.

    Coffee and coffee shop sign

    One of my favorite coffee spots from when I lived in Davis. The coffee here is consistently good and actually strong enough to wake you up and get you through long study sessions or early mornings. The atmosphere is super chill and always full of students studying, working on laptops, or just hanging out. It has that cool local coffee shop vibe where you can sit for a while and chill. They also have outdoor seating and food trucks nearby, which makes it a chill spot to get coffee and a bite. Definitely my go to place to get coffee whenever I'm back in Davis.

    Medium iced hazelnut latte, small iced white mocha, and almond croissant.
    Alyssah T.

    Came here on a Sunday morning whim while visiting Davis. Mainly picked it due to the vibe and aesthetic of the interior. Would definitely be a good place to do some work or studying. There were a couple small-business vendors outside which was really dope to see. Always up for supporting small. There was additional parking at an auto shop a minute walk away which was great! The parking lot itself is very limited. Not sure if the extra parking is the norm on other days of the week. We were welcomed with all smiles from everyone behind the counter and it felt very nice. Cashier was super kind and helpful. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. The coffee was okay. If you like your coffee not really tasting like coffee, you might dig it. Almond croissant was okay too - if you want it warmed, they pop it in the microwave (not toasted). Overall, not the worst coffee I have had. Nevertheless, it never hurts to stop by--this might be the place for you!

    Stopped by for a break while driving through Sacramento. It's not far off of highway 80 and has a small parking lot. Excellent coffee! I tried the pumpkin spice latte they make a delicious one, so try that if you like that drink. Very friendly staff and it looks like a lot of the university students go here. Plenty of inside and outside seating.

    Chai Latte and Matcha Latte
    John C.

    TL;DR: Cute coffee spot with friendly service, but tough bike parking and drinks that didn't quite hit the mark. ---------- I biked here with a friend to grab some drinks and get a bit of work done. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend biking here. There isn't much bike parking, and it was hard to find a good place to lock up securely. The café was really busy when we arrived, and seating was limited. We ended up waiting a bit until someone left and we were able to grab their table. Once we ordered, the staff was friendly and our drinks came out quickly, which I appreciated. I got the chai latte and my friend ordered the matcha latte. Unfortunately, both were kind of disappointing. They tasted like they had too much milk and not enough of the actual chai or matcha flavors. It felt like something was missing in both drinks. Overall, it's a nice little spot with a relaxed vibe, but nothing really stood out to me. If you're in the area, it's worth checking out once, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

    iced matcha latte
    Alana E.

    I pulled up for a quick drink on a Sunday morning. Parking was difficult, as the lot gets full pretty quickly. They do have an overflow lot dow the street, but parking there is still pretty limited. I managed to find a spot down the street and made it to the cafe. It was pretty busy, but it was a little hard to tell where the line actually started because they do not have designated areas for those waiting for their drink to be ready. The interior is also a little stark for my taste - it feels industrial and isn't really for me. I ordered an iced matcha with oat milk, which ran me almost $8. They prepared my drink pretty quickly, but the taste of this drink definitely does not justify the price. It was powdery and tasted artificial. It felt like there was a film on it and it was very unpleasant texturally.

    Came here on a Saturday afternoon with my grandma! It was so nice and relaxing. Not too loud or busy for her, kind of tucked away in Davis. They had limited pastries so we didn't try any - but the coffee was delicious! Be back soon. Check them out!

    Austin K.

    Ambiance: Volt is a cafe in Davis with a beautiful modern interior Service: extremely fast and kind Drinks: we got the ube cold foam matcha latte and white mocha latte. The ube cold foam was perfectly blended and complimented the matcha perfectly. The white mocha latte was standard.

    Carla K.

    I tried Volt Coffee and honestly wasn't super impressed. I got an iced matcha latte, and it kind of just tasted like milk. It wasn't what I was hoping for. The space itself is nice but the baristas weren't the friendliest towards customers and chatting loudly the whole time. It kind of threw off the ambiance. I noticed everyone around me had headphones and were probably trying to tune out the voices. I wouldn't come back for the drinks or the atmosphere especially if you're looking for a quiet spot to focus on work or relax.

While a certain amount of preferential treatment for familiar faces is simply human nature, the contrast felt greater than what could be considered good service. Maybe the Local was only for locals. More recently, on another trip staying in downtown Davis, I decided to give the Local another whirl. Pulling up a stool at the bar on a Saturday afternoon, the bartender extended a friendly greeting. Huh. Service was personable, knowledgeable, & attentive this time around. After a little conversation, I found out he was filling for the regular bartender. Huh. Well OK, then. So I got to trying some beers. They don't do taster pours/ flights here. Everything's at least 1/2 pours. The bartender informed me that they do taster pours/ flights at their brewery location in town. Just not here. Honestly, that's a bummer for me. But I had a few 1/2 pours to taste what they got. For someone who's a bit beer snobby, has far too many 1000's of beer check-ins on Untappd, & once-upon-a-time homebrewed for many years, the beers were good. Not whale-hype mind blowing. But good. Service was nice this visit. It'll be interesting to see which Dunloe Brewing I get on any possible future visit to the Local...

It was a cold afternoon/evening in December, but we dressed warmly and stayed by the firepit. There were maybe 4-6 other clusters of people there also, and definitely another birthday party going on because the guests were singing along loudly to a special request playlist that the staff played on the speaker for them. I thought it was a good number of people considering how cold and dark it got. Our group brought a bunch of kids, and they pretty much explored the grounds the whole time -- feeding the animals, making friends with other kids, and having a blast. Food from the food truck was fine, just be careful leaving your food out unattended because some random dog gobbled our burger when we weren't looking. It's a beautiful spot. We should all be so grateful for having access to it, basically for free. Drinks were good. Good vibes. Super relaxing to be out in nature. Friendly staff. As of this review, you can reserve areas for parties/events for free, and you can bring in your own food and drinks, excluding alcohol, of course, since they are a brewery.

It's somewhat puzzling to me. Add in the idyllic bucolic vibes, & this place feels is a bit surreal to me. There's something about the frolicking farm ambiance here that reminds me of the Aliki Farms skit from the 1st episode Portlandia.* So how do I know about Ruhstaller Farm? A friend I homebrewed with for years lives in Dixon. Being beer nerds enough to brew it ourselves, we'd stumbled across Ruhstaller beers a long time ago. That early stuff was rough. The beers pouring now at Ruhstaller Farm are definitely a drastic improvement. The bar staff has always been friendly. & really, this is a nice place to relax & enjoy a beer. But that's it. I'll come through once in a while & have a beer or 2. I'm not staying.
