    Attached to the Varsity Theatre, Icekrimski Cafe is an old haunt of my sweet tooth. A regular gelato runs you about $7 now. You can choose up to 2 flavors for the small or regular size cup, or 3 flavors in the biggest size. They had about 8 gelatos and 4 sorbetto flavors: dark chocolate, vanilla bean, stracciatella, coconut macadamia, green tea, creme brulee, cookie dough, Bavarian mint, strawberry, mango, lemon, and raspberry. This visit I got the Bavarian Mint and Dark Chocolate. They do offer free samples to try before committing (up to 3). The mint totally reminded me of Andes candy, loved it and the chocolate was rich too. Love the little wafer they always use to top it off. I also saw they did have waffle cones and even to-go pint containers!

    I always have to stop by and grab some dessert after dinner. I love gelato so I had to go here. It has been over a decade since the last time I've been here so I don't remember too much. I was only able to have 2 samples which is understandable. I tried the Cherry and the Coppa Mista. I didn't prefer the cherry so I ended up getting 2 flavors of the coppa Mista and the Mango sorbet. Coppa mista, which the Employee described it as, an Almond croissant. which had features of the taste. Both Flavors weren't as bad! I shouldn't have added both flavors together which is my bad (Milk and fruit sorbet.) From these 2 flavors I thought they were a bit too sweet for my taste buds especially the sorbet. Mango flavor was present but it was just too sweet for my liking. The Coppa Mista did taste like an almond croissant but very subtle. Honestly, If they never told me I would have had not noticed or picked up on it. No bathroom in the small gelato shop. No seating inside but there are many seating in downtown Davis. Price are above average for Gelato and especially during these times. Verdict Overall, It's not a bad spot for dessert / Gelato. I'd go here again to try another flavor. I only tried 3 out of 8-12 flavors? Give it a try!

    Tiny gelato place connected to the movie theater with a small variety of flavors to choose from. You get 3 samples total so choose wisely or share with whoever you come with. My friend and I opted for the mango and lemon sorbetto. Extremely flavorful, smooth, and no iciness. Only thing is this is pricey compared to most ice cream shops I am used to frequenting. I believe the one serving I got was $6.90, which could easily get me a nice pint from the grocery store.

    One of my favorite ice cream / gelato spots in Davis located conveniently right next to the Varsity theater. My favorite flavors that I've tried are green tea & honey lavender. Coppa mista is also one of their popular flavors. I highly recommend this spot!

    Bavarian mint
    Emily C.

    We always go to the other local ice cream parlor but I decided to try this place. Sooo much better flavor! We had the honey lavender with pistachio. It was so good my husband who usually doesn't order his own decided to get the Bavarian Mint. We will definitely come here next time we're in Davis!

    I am such a huge fan of Icekrimski. It is the most adorable little gelato shop that has never failed to make a good day even better. The workers are consistently so sweet, they let you try any flavor you'd like, and I've found they are super helpful if you have questions about flavor preferences, especially in recommending flavor pairings. The flavors change weekly, but the Bavarian mint is one of my absolute favorites, as well as the classic dark chocolate. The gelato always comes with a little wafer as all good gelato should, and of soured there are the neon little gelato spoons that tie the whole experience together. They are also right next door to the Varsity theater - another staple, with a window into the theatre's lobby to order from. I was surprised but by no means disappointed that gelato makes for a wonderful pairing with a good movie! I highly recommend, without a doubt my favorite frozen dessert in Davis :)

    One of the few dessert spots open around during night. It's located right next to the Varsity Theater, we had a hard time finding it at first. Inside is pretty small and there's no places inside to eat your dessert. I got a regular sized mango and strawberry sorbetto. There were strawberry pieces and it tasted light and fresh. My friends also enjoyed their gelatos. You can also sample flavors here too. Prices are fair.

    Not a large variety of flavors but the flavors they do have are really good. The staff was friendly as well. Only downside is that the price is on the higher side.

    We stopped for gelato after dinner this week - haven't been here in ages but was pleased to see all the different flavors and the quality here is just as I remembered. I got the raspberry sorbet. My husband and son loved the Coppa Mista. My daughter enjoyed cookies and cream. Masking is required, but they will give you a mask if you don't have one. Super safe and friendly service. Thanks for the ice cream!

    Raspberry Sorbet & Honey Lavender
    Love K.

    Icekrimski was hard to locate as the sign outside reads Gelato Classico. This gelato spot is very familiar as we have a few in the Bay Area. Since we were taking a walk around the Arboretum in a hot afternoon, I decided to grab some gelato on the way. Due to COVID, flavors were limited and I didn't find the coppa mista flavor I was looking for. I ended up going with raspberry sorbet and honey lavender. The honey lavender has been a long time favorite and I highly recommend it! The lightly sweet gelato and sorbet was a perfect treat in downtown.

    Honestly it's so hard to find a decent gelato place back in the bay! This is definitely one of the places I think of going to when I'm having a sweet tooth. Also would like to point out that this little spot is easy to miss because of how small it is. It is right in between the UC Davis apparel store and the Varsity movie theatre. Fun fact: the spot has this door in the wall that connects the two businesses - if you've ever seen the movie Caroline, it almost reminds me of that! My three go-to flavors here: 1. Honey Lavender If you know me, I LOVE lavender. The honey definitely compliments the floral taste well and it isn't too overpowering. I'm very particular about my lavender treats, and this place always gets it right. 2. Cappuccino Chip This flavor is for all of my sweet coffee drinkers! It's a rich, chocolate taste with the tiniest cappuccino chips mixed in. It's going to be much more on the sweet side, so if you're looking for a stronger coffee taste, I would recommend the Espresso flavor that they offer instead. 3. Vanilla Bean Honestly, vanilla bean will always be a timeless, classic flavor. You can never go wrong with this one and it pairs nicely with so many kinds of flavors ! The gelato itself is THICK as it should be and the different flavors that they offer are what set the bar for me. I usually get a child's cup and it's cool how they will still allow you to get two flavors for you to try out! I also want to mention their amazing customer service! I always feel welcomed when I come in for a treat. This is definitely one of the gems in Davis. I have been coming here since my first year at davis - and have been getting it a lot more recently. I will most likely be back here soon. update: shout out to Riley, who has AMAZING service. Definitely made my last visit a pleasant one and even offered to take a picture of my friends and I outside with our gelato!

    Matcha and Stracciatella
    Olivia Z.

    I have lived in Davis for 2 years now and had no idea this place existed. It's tucked away right next to the Varsity theater in downtown. The only reason I spotted it is because they're one of the dessert places in Davis open a little later (9:30pm). I got the matcha and the Stracciatella. As one of *those people* who actually loves plain old vanilla ice cream, the stracciatella was amazing because the chocolate chips were dispersed in a way that added bursts of rich chocolate flavor, but didn't overwhelm the vanilla at the same time. I actually highly recommend it. The matcha was good as well (although personally I could have gone for a stronger matcha flavor, this is a good level for someone getting matcha for the first time). The employee was friendly and offered me a mask when I came in. They do still require masks in store but will do flavor tastings anyway. If you forget yours, they have plenty handy and will give you one.

    Delicious, light, creamy gelato! Love this small spot, kind of hard to miss (accidentally walked right past it at first). Clean and adorably decorated. Definitely a must try, cannot wait to go back.

I like that their offerings are a bit unique, and the pastry was delicate, tasty, though a little less crisp that I'd like - perhaps because it was later in the day? The fig leaf latte was also tasty - though I couldnt really taste a big difference between the fig leaf syrup and vanilla - it seemed to be missing a little something to really bring out the fig leaf flavor. Overall, a cute little cafe to grab a pastry and coffee at, and I'd like to come back earlier in the day to try some of the other pastries! A little pricier than some of the other pastries in the area, but they're definitely a little more elevated here :)
