    Cardamom bun! I will always get this if they have it. That's sugar on top not salt.
    Anna T.

    Best pastry. Arnold Palmer, house made iced tea and lemonade. Relaxing patio, kind staff.

    Cinnamon Babka
    Regina L.

    I usually buy Upper Crust Baking's raisin challah bread from Sacramento's Sunday Certified Farmers Market because it's my fav challah bread. This time, their cinnamon babka caught my eye, so I thought to try it by bringing it home for the holidays. The kind vendor gave me helpful storage tips, when I asked how long this can keep in room temp, and tips for freezing if needed. I was so full from Christmas eve dinner, so I thought I would try just one piece of the babka for dessert. Nope! It's so scrumptious that I sliced and ate two more pieces! I will be buying this again next time and gifting this to friends and family! Upper Crust Baking has been a fav since my and my friend's college days, so I love how I can continue to be spoiled with access to their delicious treats at our local farmer's market!

    Bakery stuff

    Came here today to join the Wednesday pizza night. Having tried a few of their menu items last week, it was an easy choice for a family dinner night for my daughter's birthday. Great pizza, and great dessert! This bakery is special - you can taste the passion in their products. They've got a nice reward program as well, both online or a paper card. The menu is primarily desserts (tarts, pastry, cookies, cheesecake, and few others) and baked bread items from loaf/sliced breads, bagels, pretzels, to croissants. Very much enjoy finding this spot due to an event last week. Will be coming here for special weekend coffee and breakfast trips, and the occasional pizza night. Looking forward to trying the Winters location as well to try out the donuts! Ambiance of a small bakery with a window bar style seating, cute indoor table, and additional outdoor seating. Busy and lots of traffic on pizza nights, have yet to join for what I expect to be a busy morning coffee and pastry rush! Highly recommend - order ahead on pizza night! (Check out the website for details).

    Satisfied my craving for sourdough:) staff was friendly and location was very welcoming. Definitely give them a try.

    Delicious chocolate croissant and almond croissant! I love how they offer pizza nights so I look forward to coming with my family and friends! Service was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about everything they offer. Only outdoor seatings are available.

    Chocolate babka loaf
    Siu M.

    Stopped by this cute shop in Davis for fresh bread! Both the croissant and the chocolate babka loaf were amazing. Look how airy the croissant is! It's conveniently located next to the CO-OP with plenty parking. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and very knowledgable about the items they are selling. I lived in Davis for 5 years, rarely visit, but am always surprised with new awesome places like this! They have another location in Winters. Both are worth the drive!

    Racks of food
    Linda P.

    Overall great food, service and atmosphere! I had their fruit tart and the crust is very good. I normally wouldn't pick blueberry but it turned out very pleasant. I had their Pauline Pizza and the rosemary was a nice touch. The combination with onion and the crust work excellent together.

    Cheesecake!! I had a small piece of it and it was plenty. Rich and creamy. Not too sweet and dense. A bit pricy side so it'll be my special occasion treats. Savory scone (this one had blue cheese and something else) was very tasty for next day's breakfast. I'd like to try other pastries/cake next time!

    I've always loved Upper Crust Baking from farmers markets. Their apple turnover and apricot pastry are so delicious. Today I stopped by the bakery in Davis and absolutely love the cozy vibes. I got here a little late but I'm happy to see butter croissants still available. I got one and upon picking it up I already love that it is clean to the touch (not oily or crumbly). It is buttery, simple yet so tasty! It's beautifully puffed with good layers. Love. Service is friendly and helpful. I asked about pizza night and the staff gave me lots of info and a flyer that has coupons in them~ I will definitely come back to try more. More pastries, drinks and event pizza night.

    Covered outdoor patio
    Joel M.

    There only thing better than the bread are the pastries. And there coffee is great as well. But my favorite part of Upper Crust Davis is the outdoor patio. Shade and misters - what more could one ask for?

    savory scone of the day / free sticker!!
    Alexis M.

    the staff is so sweet and welcoming! i'm always happy to find a queer friendly shop, especially one that is focused on farm-to-table fresh food. there is plenty of seating and it has a very warm earthy honey vibe :) i got the savory scone of the week, which had cheddar cheese, jalapeño, corn, and red pepper in it. it was honestly one of the best scones i've had in a long time, not too dense and plenty moist - i also got the cold brew (with dulce as a sweetener/no milk) and was pleasantly surprised with how much i enjoyed it! i don't usually love cold brew without milks but it wasn't too sour and had a nice rounded taste. i'm glad i finally decided to come in, i will definitely be coming back!

Since, I live in Los Angeles, it's best to leave it to the locals who know the good spots. I let her do the ordering, since I am not too picky and wiling to try new things. We ordered her favorite Davis Classic pizza (Pepperoni, Sausage, Olives, Mushrooms, Red Onion), Ranch Garden salad with Pesto dressing (Greens, Red Onion, Mozzarella, Bacon, Croutons) and Man Cave Chicken Wings (BBQ and Dry Rub flavors). The pizza was fully loaded with toppings, they do not skimp! One slice was hearty and good enough for me, along with the salad and wings. The restaurant has a dozen TVs for watching all the sports. There's an upper level loft with additional tables for groups, and celebrations. This was a great choice for the location, tasty food and good value for the price. Sincerely, Rosemary

There a small arcade section in the back of the restaurant, The restrooms were clean. We ordered an XL half All-Meat, half Club pizza, a large cinnabread, and fountain drinks. The pizza was really good! They put pizza sauce in the crust which was a tasty surprise. The cinnabread was delicious and not too sweet. Now the service was pretty disappointing. As we were enjoying our food, the restaurant became noticeable more busy. A waitress came up and asked us if we were planning on leaving within the next hour because there was a reservation coming in. My parents were completely shocked that they would even come up to ask us. It came off as really rude and as if they were trying to get us to leave. Regardless if you have a reservation coming, we were here first and you should've reserved a table earlier.

When it comes to pizza places we rate, a 5/10 is as average as it gets. Anything below a 5 is below average, while anything above is above average. The price was a 6/10 for us. Not as expensive as some other places around here, but definitely not a cheap pizza either. When it comes to flavor however, we've decided to give it an 8.75/10. Our overall for Mountain Mikes leaves us at a 7.5/10. Now for this location. My best friend is a student at UC Davis and so I come up here to visit all the time. It was picnic day and if you know anything about Davis, then you know how many people show up and party that day. It was also her 21st birthday so I was in charge of taking care of her while she drank. By the end of the day, I took her back to her apartment and ordered her a pizza. She asked for "The Everest" made with white sauce. So obviously I went ahead and ordered it. It said that our pizza would be delivered in an hour. It took an hour and a half, but I'm assuming because it was picnic day and all 75,000 people were looking for food. No big deal, she was asleep during the time I ordered it so it wasn't like the delivery time was that important to us. When the pizza arrived, I brought it inside and opened it up. The thing that jumped out to us immediately was the pizza not having white sauce on it. When we bit into the pizza we found it was cold. There shouldn't have been any reason why the pizza arrived cold, as the apartment was less than a mile away. Normally I would go pick it up myself but with the Davis picnic day traffic, as well as me taking care of my drunk friend, pickup wasn't an opportune choice. With all that being said, we still ate the pizza and enjoyed every second of it. Even cold and missing the white sauce we ordered, it still tasted good. I would have been a lot more upset if I hadn't found a coupon online that dropped the price by $10. If you like good pizza, I'd go ahead and give Mountain Mikes a shot. They're expensive, but taste great. Just don't order them on picnic day like I did.
