    What a cute spot for Italian ice and frozen custard or crepes. It was a busy night but the line moved quickly. Lots of flavors to choose from. We went with the mango lassi and it was perfect sweetness. The frozen custard's delicious! It's also topped with a drizzle of condense milk. Can't wait to try their crepes and other flavors.

    Yummy shaved ice with custard! I came here a lot as a college student in Davis. I came here with some friends on a Saturday around 5pm. Not that busy at all. I got a size small and chose watermelon and blue raspberry shaved ice flavors with vanilla custard. It tasted the same as i remembered. The shaved ice is packed with the flavors and the vanilla custard is so creamy and almost fatty like. My friend got the orange and banana flavored shaved ice instead with vanilla custard and LET ME TELL YOU! Next time I need to get that exact combo because it was so good. Bro was cooking with that combo! Orange and banana together sounds weird but it's so good trust. Inside is nice and spacious with decent amount of seating. You also get two free samples inside. The workers looked like students who did their job.

    Amazing treat. Italian ice is like shaved ice so it's lactose intolerant friendly. Great way to cool down in summer

    Delicious summer treats! This is the place to get to for a nice summer refreshing treat in the heat. They have a nice variety of different flavors. You have an option to add a custard on top. I was greeted the moment I walked in with a welcoming hello!

    Service is so friendly and helpful. Such a cute place overall. I love the idea of Italian ice cream with custard. We got a small lemon and strawberry Italian ice with vanilla custard. I love the flavor combinations. There is so much yummy variations. A must try stop in Davis!

    Strawberry, Banana, Nutella and Whipped Cream Crepe

    Sweet and Shavery was absolutely amazing! We knew we were in for a treat when we arrived and there was a line out the door! It's a small location but they are very efficient and move very quickly. We ended up getting: - Sunset Ice Parfait - 2x Orange Dreamsicle Ice Parfait - Strawberry, Banana, Nutella & Whipped Cream Crepe The ice parfaits were magical!!! How is the frozen custard so creamy and delicious??? How is the ice so flavorful but doesn't taste like "ice"? Everything just melts in your mouth!!! Most crepes I've had, they put the ingredients inside but they put them on top and used FRESH whipped cream, no canned stuff! Everything was absolutely delicious and clearly made with high-quality ingredients! Next time we are in Davis, this is a must!

    Half and Half vanilla custard with cotton candy and strawberry ice

    I've watch a YouTube video and discovered this dessert spot. I've walked past by many times but never went in. It was such a hot day so I decided to try it and oh boy, I'm not sure why I only tried it just now. It was so good. The frozen custard reminds me of the Costco sundae and the Italian ice is sweet and flavorful. The smallest half and half is $5.5 and with each additional size up, it's just a dollar more so I recommend getting a large for $7.5. It's also great share it with a friend to try more ice flavors. There was a large family before me and the staff were patient and made sure the customer got the right order. Highly recommend on a hot day or if craving something cold and sweet.

    Dole whip combo is amazing! LOVE the custard ice cream. Plenty of seating for hang out and parking lot in front!

    First timer! I went on a downtown Davis foodie adventure and ended my evening at Sweet and Shavery. I came for the parfait half and half, which is half Italian ice and half frozen custard. I love this unique take on dessert and appreciated the extensive menu of possible combinations! Despite the long line, service was quick and they offer two samples for free. I tried the chocolate ice and was sold on the chocolate macaroon parfait (chocolate ice, coconut cream ice, chocolate custard, and chocolate sauce). My partner ordered the frozen banana (banana ice, chocolate custard, and chocolate sauce). We were absolutely delighted! Both desserts were beautifully presented and tasted light but satisfying. We seated ourselves inside at a high top table, given that all other tables were occupied. Sweet and Shavery seems popular among students, and I'm glad we discovered what I'd consider to be Davis's best dessert spot!

    Excellent Italian ice! I tried a few flavors and ultimately went with the sour watermelon. Daughter got lychee which was good too. Mango was a bit sweet. The soft serve in top is a bit too much. Next time we will stick with just the Italian ice. Oh and the mangonada that my friend got was excellent! Wish I saw that before I put my order in!

    Located in the heart of downtown Davis, Sweet and Shavery will satisfy your sweet tooth, whether you're craving shaved ice, crepes, custard, or ice cream. I had a maaad craving for crepes so I opted for the strawberries and cream one, but they have a whole list of other combinations as well as an option to build your own crepe combo. Needless to say I enjoyed my crepes a lot! It was warm and fresh and overall hit the spot.

    There's not much crepe places where I live, so when I visits my friend in Davis she took us to this place to try some of their food. When we got there it was busy, the service was pretty quick. I got the strawberry Nutella crepe with whipped cream & it was so good. It was perfect, the strawberry was sweet & the crepe edges were slightly crisp & each bite was so delicious. Everything went well together & hit the mark of what I missed when eating crepes.

    Man, another Davis classic! Davis Creamery was my go-to dessert spot after exams or after dinner in…read moredowntown Davis. I even bought a pint once and that thing lasted me months -- absolute heaven. They make all of their ice cream in-house too. - Ice Cream Flight -- mango sorbet / coffee Oreo / cupcake / chocolate chip cookie dough; a great mix of flavors: refreshing fruity sorbet, chunky Oreo goodness, my go-to sprinkle-loaded cupcake flavor, and chewy cookie dough pieces One of the fun things they do is a flavor bracket where customers can vote on new combinations they want the creamery to experiment with. The shop also leans into a playful cow theme throughout the store from the merch to the ice cream cups themselves. Inside is mainly a counter area for ordering desserts and browsing merch, while there are a few tables outside on the patio to sit and enjoy your treats. Service is classic Davis-friendly -- welcoming, relaxed, and they're always happy to let you sample flavors! You really can't say you went to UC Davis without trying Davis Creamery. It's truly quintessential Davis.

    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.

    I've never had a good experience with my coffee orders from here. Each time I order an iced latte,…read moreit comes out watery, flavorless, or just sour. I really am unsure what the hype is with this place. However, I do appreciate that they sell pastries. I have always enjoyed their lemon bars. I also like that they have plenty of seating. As for coffee, I'd rather go elsewhere.
