We had circa 10 people and they all LOVED the cake (still had plenty left too). One of the out-of-town guests - a bride to be - said she had not been excited about the prospect of a wedding cake but that these Spring Special flavors were something she would want at her wedding! I thought that was a pretty big compliment. Communication with the owner was easy, thoughtful, sweet and efficient. I'd order there again any day. Thank you for helping me make this a special day! Ps: Foolishly I didn't take any pictures but I'll add them once I receive them - hopefully soon.

Is kava an acquired taste that I'm too plebeian to understand? I gave this place a visit recently…read moreand did not find their drinks appealing at all. The Cloudbreaker immediately met my taste buds with bitterness and then left my tongue completely numb for several minutes. Perhaps those sensations would have paid off if they were followed by a calming or THC-like effect, but I didn't experience any change in mental state. The comfortable atmosphere saves this establishment from 1 star. Dim lights, leather couches, chill music, and colorful tiki wall art make for a decent study spot or date night. However, if you're hanging out at a business, you gotta support it, and to support it, you gotta buy something -- I can't see myself buying anything kava-related with any ounce of enjoyment. Surely there must be some variation of a kava drink that tastes delightful. I don't want to spend any more money finding out though.

My husband and I were dressed up, and it was fairly obvious that we were not college students. After breaking the ice and mentioning that it was my first visit to the Davis location, while my spouse had been there a few times before, the employees became more relaxed and accommodating. I appreciated their friendly service and the generous portion of the Kava Cloud Breaker. The Davis location offers plenty of flavors to choose from, which made for a great experience. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and would definitely stop by again if I'm in the area.

They truly have something here for everyone, and it's one of the last places you can get a print newspaper. You should bring cash if you can - newspaper sales cost more to process on card - and be prepared to be in some tight corners, because they really make good use of the space. Sadly, they no longer stock Jellycats, but it is what it is.

Mishka's Cafe in Davis is a solid choice for a cup of coffee and breakfast. This is especially true…read moreif you're a student and want a place to read or study while enjoying your food. There is a lot of table space in the cafe and when UC Davis is in session, I've found many of the tables to be occupied by students doing just that. Mishka's Cafe has been around since 1995 and is a beloved place in Davis. It's a traditional cafe that has a welcoming atmosphere. When you first walk into the cafe you'll see the food case just to your left. It is filled with cafe items such as croissants, muffins, and cookies. There are savory items as well as sweet. I found the quality of the food here to be quite good and unique. Sometimes cafe food just feels like it came from somewhere else, but even if these did, they have a uniqueness about them. For example, the chocolate croissant is very flakey with a good amount of chocolate in the interior. It really surprised me! I also found the ham and cheese croissant to be very rich in flavor. My only gripe about either or these items was the heating method. I'm not sure how they are heated up, but they feel as though they used one of those quick heaters to quickly get them ready rather than a good toaster to get the items nice and crisp. As good as they are they were a bit limp due to the heating method. In terms of coffee, it's perfectly adequate. They have special offerings as well as their traditional menu. I found the coffee to be mild and friendly. It's not too strong nor very unique. It's just a solid cup. Sometimes that's really all you need.

The space is larger than I anticipated, which was nice. I checked out their specials and opted to order their olive latte (it was made with olive oil). I was hoping they had some type of pastry, but alas, nothing except a few prepackaged bars. Once I got my latte, I took a seat. The latte was OK. I thought I may be able to taste/at least smell the olive oil undertones, but didn't. The latte was good. Will I be back? Maybe.

Either way, this was a neat stop that we went to during one of my visits. It's small, but it fulfills a niche without making the residents of Davis have to meander out to San Jose or the like to go to a Japanese market. There's imported Japanese household goods, anime and kawaii merchandise and trinkets, snacks, drinks, a LOT of Gunpla and model kits, manga, stationery, instant noodles, condiments, furikake, mochi and other ice cream, cosmetics, apparel, and much more. There's also some hot and fresh foods like baked buns, etc. Cool that they added several different floors and support the Japanese community there as there's classes too. An oasis in the middle of Davis of all places. Perfect for the weeb college student or any one else who lives there.

I felt like I would've liked a little more cake to the desserts, as the various filling take up most of the dessert. The apple taste like apple pie filling surrounded by a white chocolate. The passionfruit was the only one I didn't like, thought it tastes like soap, but I'm not a passionfruit fan. The cherry was sweet but light in flavor, the chocolate hazelnut was the best, tasting like a large Ferrero Rocher. That's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating.

The detached patio was cute but the insulated plastic covering kept hitting the back of my head whenever a large gust of wind blew by. I was probably smacked at least 3 times lol High Tea service comes with: Scones with Devonshire cream and jam 5 types of finger sandwiches 3 types of desserts Small variety of fruit (some of ours looked old and dry like the apple slices) 4 pots of tea for 2 people (I believe each person gets to choose 2 flavors each) Highlights for me: Cranberry orange scone with Devonshire cream Cucumber cream cheese sandwiches Curry chicken salad sandwiches Bella coola tea Service was great. I wished each teapot was labeled or had some sort of tag to indicate which was which. Overall, a great first high tea experience. This is a wonderful spot for little tea parties, birthday celebrations, or just general chismis hahaha
