T4 Davis

Made a reservation about a month in advance for three of us ladies by phone, and it was effortless…read more I called in because the online reservation system wouldn't let me book that far in advance. The gentleman who answered was kind, attentive, and made the process a breeze. The tea house itself is absolutely charming, cozy, elegant, and full of character. It's the perfect spot to dress up and indulge in a proper High Tea experience. We opted for the High Tea service, which included multiple pots of tea (two per person), perfectly baked scones served with heavenly house-made Devonshire cream, delicate finger sandwiches, a selection of French desserts, and fresh, seasonal fruit. Everything was delightful, the scones with cream were divine, the curried and garden sandwiches were flavorful and fresh, and the teas were beautifully brewed and fragrant. This wasn't just a meal, it was a full sensory experience. The ambiance, the presentation, and the attention to detail made it a truly memorable outing. We left feeling pampered, delighted, and already planning our next visit. Service was fantastic. Highly recommend.

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

One of my favorite places to stop when I'm (infrequently) in Davis. They're located in Downtown…read moreDavis; there's a parking lot right across from the business. I like that their drinks seem to be more about the quality of the tea versus having a ton of different flavor options. They open at a time I think is somewhat late in the day on weekdays (12pm), and there tends to be a least a few people waiting to get in by the time noon rolls around. Order at the kiosk. I've been getting the Cape Jasmine with Coconut Cream whenever I'm here (but do plan to try something new next time). The coconut cream really adds a lot to the drink, in my opinion, especially since I lowered the sweetness level. At Molly Jasmine, I do recommend keeping a higher sweetness level because otherwise the tea tends to taste a bit more bitter at first. The cream did blend into the drink to help balance out the taste, but as someone who tends to think drink / milk tea places tend to be overly sweet, you're drink likely won't be sweet enough if you reduce the sweetness at Molly Jasmine. It's a bright, open interior. Cutely decorated. Although, there's not a ton of seating. Great drink spot to check out.

I often go to the Molly Tea in the South Bay Area. After trying to convince my friend from Davis to…read morevisit the bay, she told me there was already a Molly tea in Davis. So ofc when I was in town, I had to try it. This "Molly Tea" is not the same as the Bay Area's (no store listed in Davis on the official Molly Tea website) and is also known as "jasmine tea house" on Google Maps which confused me. Walking in there was a very unpleasant smell, almost like bleach/chlorine mixed with jasmine tea fragrance. (Not great!) We sat outside. However the drinks were not bad. Not as "presentable" as the authentic Molly Tea (no fancy straw or seal), but the osmanthus oolong milk tea was on par taste wise. Overall, it's a good "knock off molly tea" and satisfied our boba craving. It's good enough for Davis but def lacks the polish of real Molly Tea's.

I came by Teaspoon again a few days ago while in Davis for Picnic Day and I am happy to say that it's as good as it was before. The menu is smaller than other boba places, but each drink I've had here has been good. I love a blend of strong tea flavor and not overly sweetened milk tea, which is what they have to offer! My go-to drinks are their house milk tea or liquid gold, and when I want something fruity, I opt for their lychee black tea (aka lychee on lychee). I suggest getting the drinks half sweet if you don't want your drinks too bland but also not too sweet. The staff here has always been local college students who offer kind and speedy service. I'm never in here more than a few minutes unless I'm ordering a lot of drinks. It's small inside the store so if there's a lot of people in line, it's best to wait outside. It's not really a place to sit down and chat, but to take your drink to go which is fine since it's located downtown.

The previous time we dropped in on a long drive, I had the taro lover. It was not as taro as I would have liked. Good but not over the top good. The shop is clean and cute and there is a digital ordering system as well as love staff to order from and ask questions. Adorable place. We liked it and may even be back on our way past Davis again!

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.

We were lucky we got there at a time with no line because soon after, it rapidly grew. The solo restroom was also in high demand. This space is narrow with some tables & a long bar with seats in the middle. Large windows make it bright. Music plays, but with lots of people, it was a loud environment. It also felt cramped with all the waiting people. We opted to sit outside where there is ample bench seating & long narrow bars where you can stand by a mural. Screens display their beverage menu, but they didn't list drink prices. There are kiosks to place your order, but one was out of order. No real personal interaction needed to happen & workers stayed behind the counter. Ice & sweetness are customizable at increments from 0 to 110%. We got a Signature Boba Milk Tea & a Strawberry & Mango Fruit Tea. Drinks were prepared quickly & were enjoyed.
