    Gelato with signage
    Kay C.

    Visiting from out of town and came across Icekrimski Cafe which was attached to the Varsity movie theatre. Small establishment which only fit a few patrons at a time inside. We arrived when most of the selections were almost done but the flavors we did order were good. We were also offered complimentary wafer cookie to accompany our gelato.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Nice location downtown where everyone has a lot within walking distance. Finally got to stop by this little location that two a few doors down from the tea shop I was hanging out in. Most pleasant person helping me select from a some great choices. Got the large...because it's more chocolate. Smooth and so tasty. Plenty of parking but as mentioned, good walking around also.

I wanted to try their boba for sure since all of the reviews mentioned how divine it is. And I was happily surprised with the quality of their boba so late into the night. The texture was still very soft and chewy, not too sweet, and the portion of the boba was generous!! The black milk tea was strong and silky, I changed the sweetness to 75% and it was perfect. The ambiance is dark, dimly lit, lots of pandas (paintings and decor) everywhere. It was really quiet when I visited, I saw a couple students working on homework. And a family enjoying boba and various finger food snacks they offer. Would definitely come back whenever I'm in the area!!

When we left Davis and came back, we were really sad that there were no more Taiwanese food options, because we both loved the pork chop and meat gravy over rice so much. That being said, when we realized, honey D was there, we figured we would try it. The store itself is quite small, think fast service Boba shop size. The decoration is fine, the place kept pretty clean, not much more to say about it. The service is also really good, the staff working was very polite and friendly, and it turns out the owner must've been in the shop because she delivered our food and asked us if we've ever eaten this food before and offered to help. We ordered the fried chicken with pork gravy over rice, the beef noodle soup, and the lemon tea. To be honest, the beef noodle soup is not my favorite. Although the meat looks like it was freshly cut, I found it to be quite tough. I also was not really a fan of the bra, but I know the broth is also up to personal taste. For myself personally, I think the one at Dah Bao is better, and I've had much better in the Bay Area and outside of the bay. That being said, we both really enjoyed the chicken and rice. It was such a nostalgic taste, and we felt like the serving size was great. The chicken itself was really crunchy, so I imagine their other fried chicken and popcorn chicken options are also delicious. The tea was also very refreshing and helped to wash the food down. We plan to come back and try more of their braised meat and rice dishes, despite being a little disappointed by the beef noodle soup.

I really like their tofu pudding desserts. They're not overly sweet and come with a good variety of toppings, including boba. There seemed to be only one person working the counter during my visit. She was taking orders, making drinks, and bringing out the food. Our drinks took a while, but the wait for the food wasn't too bad. This location is pretty small with only a few tables inside, so if it gets really busy, you may have to wait for a table to open up.

I like that they choose to make their ice cream in store rather than buying it in bulk or ordering it from a factory.

Everyday of the week, they have some sort of deal or happy hour sale going on which is worth it to schedule into your day. They have many different flavors and toppings and they do allow sampling! For those who cannot have dairy, they also have dairy free options which is why this place is a go to for large groups or people new to Davis! There are options for everyone. One thing to note, they do not have seating inside and oftentimes they have long lines. But they do have seating right outside under street lights. On busy days, staff are alwasy working as fast as they can and they are always happy to help. The best way to avoid the lines? Go before meals or go earlier in the day :) after dinner is always the busiest time. In the spring, you can also submit a flavor you'd like them to make and if it makes it into the running, it will enter the month of bracketology where visitors try new flavors created and the favorite will be added to the menu for a while.
