great coffee shop. good food. great coffee. Great baristas. Very good interior design

World Traveler is my favorite coffee shop in town. There is plenty of seating and has a great atmosphere. The food and drinks are delicious as well! For drinks, my go-to is an Iced Vanilla Matcha or Iced Shaken Honey Latte! For food, my go to is the Cobb Salad (the dressing is delicious) or the breakfast sandwich. The workers are friendly and I love chatting with them! read more

I was so excited to try this place out and it was so pretty inside. They had a lot of food and drink options and pastries as well. The chocolate cake was amazing but we had to get a replacement because the first slice had a hair on it. The people working were kind and very apologetic and replaced the piece of cake and offered an extra pastry when we let them know that. The bagel was the cheap store-bought kind like Sara Lee or something similar. The avocado toast was untoasted whole wheat sliced bread for $12 although it came with a salad which wasn't great. The napkins were bathroom paper towels. The hot chocolate tasted like it was from a packet. I don't think they made anything including the flavors for coffee... the only thing made was the espresso shots pulled. Everything seemed store bought and the only thing that was moderately good was the espresso shots. I really wanted it to be good but I probably will not be returning unfortunately. read more

Stopped by for a quick morning drink and some breakfast. It was early, so there wasn't anyone else there. I got a chai tea latte and a bagel with cream cheese. I chatted a bit with the barista - come to find out they make their own chai totally from scratch instead of using a premixed concentrate! I enjoyed the balance of spices and sweetness in the chai and it was super good. The bagel wasn't anything special - it's clear it's just a store bought bagel. The cafe is tucked away, but it definitely seems like a great place to hang out and enjoy a sunny morning! If I hadn't been in a hurry, I would have stayed to appreciate their plush couches and large windows. read more

World Traveler has been in Davis for about a year now, and it's a top tier coffee shop in the town. Beautiful interior remodel, excellent for study/remote work, and great lattes. Service was friendly and exceptional. The summer menu Yuzu Pineapple Matcha is delicious, the matcha isn't too heavy but the matcha is vibrant and the pineapple foam is perfect, the yuzu is very light. The orange cardamom latte has a hint of cardamom to it. Will be back to try their foods and eclairs! read more

I understand the bad ratings. On two separate occasions, I said "hi" to start my order, but the two baristas didn't greet anyone and completely ignored me for about 10-15 minutes. They seemed completely unaware of their surroundings, which gave off a rude and stuck-up vibe. After standing there for over 10 minutes just trying to place my order, the woman with black hair ignored me and helped other customers who arrived after me first, lol. So bizarre. On two separate occasions, the women behind the counter also got my order wrong. I then had to wait another 15 minutes for my coffee and croissant sandwich. They need better-trained staff, better customer service, and more people working behind the counter. In my opinion, the food and drinks could be prepared much more efficiently if the workflow were organized properly. The male employee was nice with a positive demeanor, but the three women who worked behind the counter had a serious attitude problem. If there's already a line, I definitely wouldn't consider this place worth the wait. When I approached one lady to voice my concerns she snarked at me to step away and stay away from their workplace. It wasn't true, but even if it was, there's a kinder way to communicate something like that. read more

I've been to the Davis location twice and my experiences both times have been solid. The staff are friendly and efficient with making my drinks. Both times, my coffee has been strong and flavorful. The first time I went with a strawberry rose latte and the second time I went with a blueberry vanilla latte. I got a large for each and they lasted me through the afternoon. I have not had an issue with the ice to coffee ratio as well. They have some really cute pastries on display, but I have yet to try some. I love the vibrant interior! There are always students or Davis locals hanging around, working, or studying when I visit, and while the service sucks in that area, they offer WiFi. I've only gotten my coffee to go but from other reviews I've seen, the cups are super cute! There's even a nice list of food offerings ranging from light bites to sandwiches. World Traveler is one of my favorite chains in the area and I'll definitely be back whenever I need my caffeine fix. read more

Drinks We stopped in for coffee while we were in the area. I ordered the Iced Caramel Vanilla Latte, which was not as sweet as I expected to be. My husband ordered the Mexican mocha, and this one really missed the mark. He's had Mexican mochas from other coffee shops before, but this one was overwhelmingly dominated by the Mexican chocolate flavor, making it basically undrinkable. Atmosphere The café itself is very clean, modern, and spacious. There was plenty of seating and a good number of students studying inside, which gave it a calm, productive vibe. It's definitely a nice space to hang out or get some work done. Service Service was great -- the cashier was friendly, and our drinks were made quickly. Overall While the drinks weren't what we hoped for, the interior and service were solid. We're unsure if we'd return for coffee specifically, but we would come back to try their breakfast options. read more

I have tried this cafe 2 times and had different experiences: First time I went the staff were really friendly and my blueberry latte was a bit watered down and had little ice, but the flavor was good. However, the WiFi was not working at all. I tried to load pages across an hour before giving up and going home. I did really enjoy the lighting and bright atmosphere so I felt like giving it a second chance. My second time, I tried a cold brew. I think the ratio with ice was better this time, but the coffee was a bit too sour for my preference. The cashier was friendly but the barista was less so. The WiFi worked well for me but not for my friend, maybe it's just inconsistent and dependent on what you are trying to load? I haven't tried the pastries or food yet but I would recommend coming to meet friends, people watch, or just look out the window at the fall leaves. read more

I enjoyed studying here! They have wifi but Canvas doesn't work through it (probably because of privacy) but I enjoyed my experience here. Tried the Strawberries and Cream Matcha with Oat milk which was OK. I liked the cream but could not taste too much of the matcha. Also tried the London Fog Latte with oat milk which was delicious! The carrot loaf was also really good. Always love a good coffee place with good studying atmosphere. There's also restroom, indoor and outdoor seating. It feels less cramped because of the high ceilings. Service was also okay. Would come here again! read more

On a road trip (Sacramento bound), a stop in the city of Davis was in order. An Americano for her and coffee with cream for myself. Flavorful coffee with high-definition clarity. Plenty of seating available indoors and out. Ideal for group gatherings. Enjoyed lounging at the patio. It was relaxing with adequate shade. Appreciated the welcoming service! Looking forward on a future return. read more

Went with my family Saturday morning and ordered matcha the worst ever, chocolate croissant- stale , lemonade no flavor at all. The skinny long hair barista had so much attitude to the point I felt I was doing so much to get her attention to get me my drink. I didn't give one star because the cappuccino was good. We left all the drinks and croissant untouched so that they can see it. Estelle was my regular coffee shops but I was trying to support this place but no I am not going back anymore. 9/5/26 read more

The coffee here is just okay. They do have a lot of open seating indoors, but their lattes definitely are too sweet.

Tons of parking. Bright and modern interior. Their baked goods and food selection are great. I have consistently enjoyed their lox bagel. Good indoor and outdoor seating. Great place to chat with a friend or get work done! read more

First off the space has the most GORGEOUS bright clean open space with huge windows and fluffy benches. I love a white coffee shop vibe. The barista totally had my back when I asked about her faves and wanted suggestions. I got a delish vanilla brown sugar flat white that I'd order 100 times over. Also the savory food options are pretty great. Illl be back to try pastries and more seasonal coffee drinks for sure. read more

Overpriced coffee, bad customer service, coffee tasted awful (I mean it), and the place smelled funky, like, funky. Did I mention the bad coffee being overpriced? Never going back. read more

I am glad that a World Traveler Coffee Roasters arrived in Davis. Especially a coffee shop in the Oakshade Town Center (It is at the same location as Common Grounds Coffee that closed a few years ago). They are in their soft opening so I'd say there are some fine touches to work through, but everything seems smooth so far. I've been to the one in Roseville at the Galleria and the aesthetic is the same with it's blue velvet chars and light wood tone throughout. The coffee shop features coffee, tea, some specialty coffee drinks, as well as pastries and breakfast sandwiches. I had their almond croissant (heated) with a Brown Sugar Latte with Oat Milk and my partner had a Blueberry Black Tea (brewed, not tea bag) with Rose Syrup, Iced and a Plain Cream Cheese Bagel (didn't have chive cream cheese) with some honey. The Brown Sugar Latte was perfect for me as it wasn't too sweet. The blueberry was refreshing, although the rose wasn't too prevalent. There is a nice seating area towards the back. There are small tables along two walls with a long bench that surround a long table that seats 8 (presumably for communal use). There seems to be ample power plugs underneath the benches. We went in the morning around 9am and the sun heats you up if you are in the sun's rays. I believe you bus your own plates and cups but it wasn't super clear. There is also wifi, but I didn't use it. All in all I hope this place continues to be great and turn into an nice coffee shop in South Davis. read more

A friend and I decided to try World Traveler for lunch. I could not find a menu online so checked Yelp photos. There were two photos of their menu board with several sandwiches and salads but the pictures weren't clear enough to make out the descriptions. Once we read the menu in person, we realized that there was no item on it that would work for either of us. My friend is a vegetarian that can't tolerate gluten, so that eliminated the sandwiches for her. Both salads included meat. I'm allergic to lettuce and don't eat pork products. Most of the sandwiches include bacon and they all include spring mix. Why order something and pay or it and ask for some of the major ingredients to be left out? We decided to eat elsewhere. read more

Paid way too much for some green water (matcha) and a terrible latte worse than hotel coffee (caramel vanilla latte). Didn't taste caramel or vanilla. Croissant was good though. read more

I had a lovely coffee shop experience here. Very clean, nice decor, and the barista was very kind. She clarified how I wanted my drink and brought it to us later. Seating in this business is great, it would make a good study spot. I would return here. Thank you! read more

The shop is clean, it looks like a nice spot to study. I'll pop by every so often after work, the coffee is super good however the attitude at the front not so much so. Every now and then there are some friendly workers! read more

Nothing beats an iced latte with unique flavors. Great service and beautiful ambiance. World Travelers always delivers. read more

Please consider creating a 'no computer' zone, like Mishkas I don't schedule with friends or colleagues at your venue, because the seating is taken up by students. Too bad, as the remodel is very nice and I've had good service. Thanks read more

Beautiful cafe with great outdoor patio and large indoor seating area. Service was friendly and efficient. My daughter got the strawberry shortcake Macha. It was excellent and had just the right amount of sweetness (not overly sweet) with natural flavoring that I could taste. I had a cappuccino and it was perfect. The milk was thick and foamy like I have not had before. I told them it was the best. This place puts emphasis on high quality ingredients and craftsmanship per their website and you can taste this . I will be back soon to try their foods. read more

Nice place to hang out and/or get work done. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Rachel in particular is kind and happy to help customers and makes the best coffee drinks. I've noticed a lot of regulars come in during my time here so I must not be alone in liking this shop. read more

Nice interior and spacious. My latte was too milky. Coffee and sandwiches are overall just okay. I wanted to try a pastry but they looked pale and dry. read more

This food is very good as well as my latte. Was made pretty fast for how much I ordered. I also like they are variety of pastries. I definitely recommend this place to everyone read more

This place could be great. They have a beautiful space and, when they have the ingredients to make the things on their menu, the food and drinks are delicious. However, after being open a few months, here is where the experience has landed: 1) service is hurried, rushed and marginally friendly to uninterested 2) no availability for seating on weekends as students take every indoor seat, with computers, books and backpacks setup for the day 3) chronic lack of full menu (out of decaf coffee beans, out of fruit or limited for oatmeal, out of Brazillian coffee beans for drinks (a fave). Also, ordered food items sometimes dont ever come out of kitchen, so process from ordering to plating is flawed. Out of 10ish visits, all things in this review were observed at least half the time. Really hopeful that this place ups their game as it had the potential to be one of the best in Davis. read more

They don't know how to follow instructions here. For whatever reason all the baristas working shift today had attitude too. My coffee was trash. I was super hyped to come today too because the Roseville location is so good. Maybe I'll try again and hopefully the baristas have better customer service. read more

Solid coffee for Davis standards and the chocolate loaf was very moist and rich! Very good study ambiance and natural lighting through the windows. The only thing is not all areas have outlets so make sure your devices are charged upon entering. Wifi isn't totally reliable in the area I was sitting in so I ended up using a hotspot. read more

I love the unsweetened iced matcha lattes and gold eclairs here. I usually like ordering unsweetened matcha lattes wherever I go, but it's rare for me to love how a place prepares it, so this place way exceeded my expectations! :) The atmosphere was nice, albeit too crowded for my liking, since I came in on a weekend. I think if I get the chance to in the future, I'd like to sit inside and study at a less crowded time. Despite it being crowded, the counter wasn't too busy. The baristas were very kind and patient while I looked at the menu and asked them questions about some of their drinks (specifically, about the difference between a Parisian hot chocolate and a regular one, and what's in the golden eclairs). Overall, I really recommend World Traveler! read more

Love the atmosphere and lighting here. The staff are friendly. The wait is consistently long. Today there were three workers. That was better than previously. The sitting area was nice and full of students prepping for finals. The bathroom was in a bad state of affairs; no paper towels, debris and footprints all over the floor, and an overflowing trash can. Fifteen minutes (ironically the same amount of time we waited for our Americanos) would have righted things easily. read more

This was our first time here. Super clean place and friendly staff. The affogato was decadent and delicious! We will be coming back.

Good pastries, wide variety of drinks, wasn't a long wait for food or drinks, lots of seating inside and outside, overall loved coming here and will be back. read more

Rachel was amazing!! She made my drink and she was so sweet plus the drink was AMAZINGG 10/10! They have a ton of unique flavors too. The service was incredible I loved her! read more

Great service, my buddy mentioned it was my Birthday and got I free cupcake. Really great coffee too.

I enjoyed this spaces as a study area as the ambiance and seating was so nice! There were also a million outlets which was very helpful. The coffee was good as well. My only issue was that the wifi was a bit spotty at times (it worked fine for me but did not connect at all for my friend) and that there are many sites that are unaccessible such as canvas, gradescope, playposit, pearson (I assume privacy issues). Unfortunately I can't add it to my study spot rotation because of that but the coffee itself is wonderful. read more

The staff is always wonderful and the place looks great. One of my favorite lattes and served in a non-plastic lined ceramic cup which I appreciate. I'm very happy they opened up a location locally. Food needs some upgrades. read more

I don't understand a coffee shop with a breakfast menu that doesn't open their kitchen until 1 PM.
