Most appalling customer service experience I have had in a long time. My mother and I wanted to get some fresh bread and we'd heard great things about this place so we decided to stop by. We decided on some bread and went to check out their selection when we noticed some different looking loaves on the wrack behind the front register lady versus the bread loaves that were sliced on another shelf in the store.The names were the same but one was denser and the other was more spongy like store bought sandwich bread . So we asked what type of bread it was because of the same names but different consistency. The clerk looked at us as if we had asked a dumb question and She looked at us with such disdain like we were bothering her w/ our supposed ignorance on the topic of bread. She didn't even fully answer the question. She just said the name is the same and in theory they were the same but not. Then we asked for a recommendation/preference between babka loaves. She seemed even more displeased at having to answer even more questions. So just like with her previous answers she kept them short and clipped. She just replied "it's a matter of preference". She could have said if one was sweeter than the other and helped us reach a decision. I work in customer service and would never dream of acting this way. In fact if I acted this way towards a customer and my manager caught me I would be in so much trouble. You answer people's questions despite how stupid you may think they are and if they are having a hard time deciding between options and they ask you questions you help narrow down options as best as possible. At the end of the transaction my mom got a stamp card in case we liked the product enough to return and I signed up my phone number. I did that because some businesses offer promotions or keep you informed about new products. So I signed up and I wasn't aware that it was against their policy to have a phone number and get a stamp at the same time. The lady got super impatient and irritated when she realized what had happened and forced my mom to return the stamp card! Who does that?! She could have just let it go as an honest mistake. We left feeling very bitter about our overall experience. In this economy you can't afford going around and treating people like this. We have concluded that with customer service such as this we would rather give our continued business to Village Bakery. The bread was alright, we had some for lunch with some soup. It wasn't enough to make us want to go back to this establishment. read more

We tried the cheesecake and chocolate tart. Both were very good. The staff were friendly as well. Only concern I had was the space was small so if more than one or two groups wanted to eat there, it may be an issue. read more

I can't sing the praises of Upper Crust Baking enough. Their cardamom rolls, kouign-amann, fruit tarts, and sarmentine baguettes are delectable, and the pizza nights are always a treat. Twice now I've done an advanced order to get something that has particular meaning for a friend or family member on a special occasion, and they've gone above and beyond to accommodate. The delivery service that they temporarily had during the pandemic shutdowns provided a rare bright spot that lifted our spirits during difficult times. They are a true Davis gem. read more

Excellent almond croissants and apple tart very friendly and helpful staff highly recommend this bakery!

Bought a tiny loaf of chocolate Babka at the farmers market and it was $8.00 for a tiny tiny loaf. It's way smaller than an entire loaf of bread but cost more. No signage of prices for the Babka or items around it but I didn't think it would be THAT expensive! The loaf was hard and obviously not fresh. I don't just mean a day or two old. It taste like it's a week old. So are they selling leftover products at the farmers market ?! Disappointed. I went online and the regular sized loaf is $8.00 and the individual size is $4.25. I obviously paid $8.00 for an individual sized loaf. How annoying. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE their Challah bread and cookies!! I've tried their Jalapeno, Raisin, and Chocolate Challah and they're all delicious!!! I'm always excited to see them at the farmers market. read more

Purchased an item at farmers' market and another directly from bakery and have been very unimpressed. The cookie tasted stale, in fact. It's probably a good thing that the bakery seems just so-so. Now I'm not even tempted. read more

Outstanding bakery. No better butter croissants. Service is knowledgeable and congenial. Ambiance is "working bakery."

Beyond amazing - we travel from an hour away to get the challah, babka, gallettes, rugelach, and more. We miss seeing them at our local farmer's market, but worth the trek! read more

I Love Upper Crust Bakery! I shop at The Hayward Farmer's Market most Saturdays. One of my first & favorite stops is Upper Crust Bakery! The Customer Service is always Exceptional! read more

Great bread baked fresh and the dessert was yummy!! We used the outside seating which was nice!

Friendly and delicious bakery located near the Co-op (and also at the Farmers Markets). Their Sarmentine Baguette is one of the best things ever-- so so good. We also enjoy the challah and pretzels! Appreciate that they are doing delivery and curbside pickup during the pandemic. read more

I haven't written a review in so long, but upper crust's croissants are AMAZING. HEAVENLY AND FLAKY... and most importantly, BUTTERY. Smooth like butter, criminal under cover! I highly highly recommend their croissants. Pizza on Wednesday's is good too read more

Review solely of service. Should work on their customer service skills. I first discovered them at the downtown farmers markets 2 years ago. I remember the cookies being delicious and they staff super friendly. They asked me if this was my first time and they gave me a history of them and their foods. It's been a while and happened to be downtown during the farmers market today. I can't remember which ones I liked before so I ordered one of each of the 4 types. The young lady taking my order mumbled something about buy x get one free. I thought she said 4 get the 5th free. So i say ok. Which is the best? Chocolate ok I'll take that as my free. I kid you not when this girl rolled her eyes at me so hard I thought her eyes would get stuck and caught major attitude! Now I'm thrown because we just were having a pleasant exchange. Rolls her eyes and says it's buy 5 get the 6th free. Mind you I didn't even want that many cookies and now there's a line. I'm confused and feeling rushed. I was this close to walking away. The other young lady I think sensed her cohort was being rude and tried to step in but she was awkward too. Cookie math figured out I paid for the cookies and gave them to a homeless person. I've never been so shocked by an encounter before. I cannot believe this person rolled their eyes and got an attitude with me for no reason at all. Usually there's some kind of lead up when it goes left. There was none here. I've worked in customer service for years and try my absolute best to be a problem free customer. I've never rolled my eyes at a customer in the face. Never mind I didn't even do anything! I'll never give these people my money again. Maybe she was having a bad day not sure the people behind me also noticed. read more

Really good high end breads and pastries. This is in the same shopping center as the Davis Foods Co-Op which is very convenient, easy parking. Everything looked so good! We loaded up! Sarmentine baguette, sourdough loaf, rye loaf, and chocolate babka.. it was all so good!! read more

The peanut butter chocolate chip cookie has a unique flavor/texture and is a must-try for pb lovers. I took off one star because it is a little overpriced ($7.00+ for a 5 pack of cookies!). I normally just get a single cookie priced at $1.50 when the farmer's market is in town as a treat. read more

Bought 2 loaves of bread from Upper crust at Arden Farmers Market. The rye Bread had mold within 36 hours of purchase. Neither loaf was on the day old rack, they were sold as fresh loaves. They appear to have gone downhill since the son took over. So sad! read more

I first tried their baked goods at the State Fair last year, but finally got to the Davis farmers market 1 Saturday to buy some more delicious carbs. Cookies, breads, pies, and more read more

Love the pizza, usually we have a good experience, but not sure why they make you preorder with specific pick up times if they can't keep on track with them. Also, I was told it would be a 10 minute wait from our 6pm pickup time - that's fine - but I was promptly forgotten about and we ended up waiting 40 for our (pre-ordered) pizzas. Also would have been nice if they updated us along the way or at least apologized for the fact that most of the 6:30 pickups had already come and gone. We love their pizza so it was a shame that they were so frazzled and behind tonight. read more

Ordered a small coffee to have in the bakery. The coffee itself was wonderful. But the presentation was really nice and unexpected as well. The mug, plate, and everything was so nice that as a person who doesn't normally pay much attention to this detail I took notice. Not to mention it came with a complimentary biscotti and chocolate covered espresso beans! My kids split a bread pudding and we're doing a happy dance by the time they were done. Great experience! read more

notice loaves of bread. oatmeal cookies, cnallah bread, asked associate what was best seller? i can always guess but am terrible at that. asking for advice cuts my wrong choices by a huge margin. choose amongst 3 choices. not disappointed. locale: hayward farmers marlet (8/11/17) eats: "Birdseed" (6), "a 100% wheat bread with ancient grains, walnuts & raisins," -a meal in itself, tasted better than various Dave offerings. a meal in itself. -probably would work it i found recipe for avocado toast. take outs: -seller made good recommendations would repeat for future purchases. read more

I had tried their bread at the Davis Farmer's Market but I finally made my way to their store. I loved their chalapeno as well as their various breads! It's owned by the cutest family!! read more

I miss their original croissant recipe. It was soooo good before. Pls. bring it back.

What a delightful experience all the way around. Was a little concerned by the prices - they seemed high - until actually I actually tasted the coffee and the scone; and experience the service. This place is awesome on all categories! read more

Tried lots of items via market, delivery, and pick-up. Definite highs and lows depending on item and day, IMHO. We LOVE their croissants, galettes, and cruffins (when eaten day of)!!! Tried their hamburger buns tonight and they were amazing! Sarmentine has great chewy + crusty textures and a unique flavor (from spelt flour and sesame). On the other hand, we've found the rosemary loaf and sliced breads to be a bit dry and bland. Bagels were so-so (one batch of everythings was burned and quite bitter). Tonight's cheesecake had an extremely dense, paste-like texture that had us drinking loads of water (not bad in taste, but tough to get through). Cookies were okay--quite a hard texture if that's your thing. Once a third-party item had mold upon delivery (they were kind and responsive offering a refund). Overall, not perfect, but I still love to frequent for certain items! read more

Just purchased and sampled my first loaf of Upper Crust bread, the delicious Birdseed! I will definitely be buying this again, as well as trying other products. I would, however, recommend to the owners that they provide nutritional information, upon request. Although I realize they are not required to label their products, it would not seem to be too difficult to have this information available. Thanks! read more

They recommended using their chocolate chip challah to make French toast, but frankly I think it's just too delicious as regular toast to go through all that extra effort. The rugelach and babka are sensational as well. read more

I was so excited to get a dozen of my favorite kind of cookie from them at the State Fair yesterday. But now that I have tried them, while they are not terrible, they are certainly not worth a dollar and a half a piece. I wonder if they charge this much in their shop, or if this is just part of the "State Fair special"? read more

Came in and got the california raisin cookies and they were amazing. Inside there are samples of some of there breads and cookies which are good if you are not sure about an item. read more

Upper Crust Baking - california raisin cookies - Bakeries Near Me - Davis, California

One of my favorite local store at Davis. Recently I got a baguette from them and it was really good. Highly recommended!

Lovely ambience, but not my favorite bread. The bread is too soft and too expensive, because it was $6.75 for a loaf about 2/3 the size of a standard loaf of bread you would purchase at a grocery store. I would need to buy about 3-4 of these loaves just for a week's supply of bread, which is unaffordable for a graduate student. I do appreciate the local ingredients and that everything is made freshly. I will likely come back here soon to see if they have any breads that I would like-I really prefer harder bread, and the seeds actually hurt my teeth while eating the birdseed bread. read more

Came in super early in the morning and I guess a lot of stuff wasn't out yet, but still got some challah bread. Delishes as always, but I hope they increase their inventory options. Now with a brick and mortar location, not sure if mainly breads will cut it, but we'll be there to support them. read more

All I have to say is the salted rosemary bread is what you come here for the owner is cool Joanna behind the counter is my daughters favorite barrista!! the coffee is amazing They always have good samples and give you a biscotti and a little chocolate been with your coffeegreat place read more

I have been buying their baked goods for years, but especially lately, when they started adding French-inspired croissants, pain aux raisin, and sarmentine baguettes. On Wednesday nights they specialize in hand-crafted pizza. My favorite bread, among many, is their Jewish corn rye. read more

Lover Upper Crust Unfortunately I can no longer eat wheat on a regular basis so I only go for a special treat every now and then. I literally dream of their fresh baked Sarmentine Baguettes and Almond Croissants. Also check out their Wed Pizza Night! read more

I was very impressed with the quality of ingredients upper crust offers. The GM was able to provide my non-profit event with the delicious peanut butter chocolate chip and California raisin cookies, which everyone loved. Very fresh tasting and all ingredients I can pronounce. Freshly baked bread and cookies offered at the farmers market! Definitely will be supporting in the future, thank you Lorin! read more

Very friendly, delicious bread, and always look forward to their samples! We love their bread at Davis Farmer's market, and are excited that they opened a storefront. Everything I have had from them has been delicious. read more
