“I ask for falafel platter, my son for a badmash burger. both are amazing”

“Awesome 😎”

“so good! first time here and we enjoyed it!!! thank you!”

“Can I just say this is the best chicken gyro I’ve ever had !!! I got the spicy chicken gyro 1000/10. Amazing customer service, and my order was ready within a quickness! My new favorite spot I’ll definitely be coming here for a bite whenever I’m back in Davis 😁”

“Yolo Berry in DAVIS, CA has the best yogurt and flavors around! Yum 😋! The kids and I highly recommend them. Perfect treat anytime of the year.”

“"This is my third purchase – your products are very good and always worth it!"”

“Friendly staff! Amazing drinks!”

“Stopped on our way through from Lake Tahoe to San Francisco. What a delicious lunch our family had !! Something for everyone even 2year old grandson ! We’re from Australia and this Mediterranean cuisine ranks up there with the best. Thanks so much for the complimentary baklava too !!”

“You may find other restaurants that serve these dishes, but not all in the same place, and not for as reasonable a price. If you and some friends are hungry but can't decide where to go, go here. Everybody will be happy.

Oh, sorry I didn't take a picture of the food, I just couldn't wait to eat it.”

“Great meal and good service. We will be back.”

“Love their food Special scallops are amazing”

“First time visiting. They have a lot of variety of drinks, and some drinks that I haven't seen at any other boba places. Quick service. Want to come here again to try out more drink flavors. I got the brown sugar boba mochi milk tea. Was a little too sweet for me but you can pick a less sweet option. The mochi was a bit odd, it was slimy and honestly I really didn't know what to expect. I would probably not get the mochi topping again.”

“Yummy 👍🏾 the best good service Fast 🍷🍺🥰”

“What a great coffee/tea place that is like a Starbucks but better! Their combinations are really tasty and give off a homestyle vibe than your every day franchise business. The employees are great too! Very helpful and super kind!”

“This restaurant is a HIDDEN GEM!! We were apprehensive at first when our daughter and her BF found this place which is semi in a residential area, but once we got inside and met our waitress, we could tell it was going to be great. And it was! From the crustunis with roasted bell pepper on top to the unbelievable raviolis and gnocchi to the scrumptious deserts, WE WILL BE BACK. The food and ambiance were just superb and you definitely have to try this place out! It was fantastic !”

“This is the best place to eat in Davis!! Love going here and I at least go back once a week. Go here for good food that is well priced and gives you plenty of for your money”

“first time at in n out. friendly employees and burger was good. don't like the fries”

“This was my favorite spot when I attended Davis the last four years. It is by far the best burger anywhere in town. The staff are super friendly too. One of them got to know me and the people I went with on a first name basis which I really liked! It felt good to be recognized when I went in. I liked the regular cheeseburger but others really liked some of the fancier offerings. Portions are large.

Make sure you get the fries!”

“Pizza was amazing! I would go back.”

“the food here is fabulous and the staff is very attentive. great restaurant with an awesome outdoor atmosphere.”

“Haven’t been to Lamppost in ages.

(Forgot to take a picture)

Got the Whole Nine Yards. Pizza was really good. The crust you could tell was hand tossed. Will definitely be back for some Pliny on tap!”

“CHLOE is so helpful and sweet. i love coming in here and seeing her working. thats how i know my sandwich gonna be good. LOVE U BEACH HUT DELI ❤️❤️❤️”

“I passed by uc davis so many the times
But this is the first time we stopped by and try the food here.
Omg the portions are huge
The food was tasteful
Not big menu so easy to come In and out
I will
Come back here again 😍😊”

“I had a great lunch with my son last week. Close to closing time but the staff was friendly and very courteous. The crepes were perfect and delicious. Thank you”

“Great service and authentic Mexican food the shrimp cocktail was delicious”

“So my husband and I literally just left the booth for these guys at a farmers market we happened upon. We bought the Asiago loaf on whim. Let me tell you, after we got to the halfway point of eating that loaf we walked right back and got another. ITS THAT GOOD. That was the most delicious and cheesy bread I’ve ever had. We’ll be lucky if that other loaf we bought makes it home. Go to it.”

“The food was so good! And the service was awesome. Very friendly place. I had the tri tip sandwich and my husband had the Bacon cheese burger with Buffalo style tater tot. They were topped with bleu cheese crumbles too. So dam good! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻”

“Can't go wrong with a restaurant that's been a part of Davis since 1977! Family owned and operated through generations. Delicious dinner!”

“Delightful local brewing with a friendly, neighborhood vibe <3”

“Go support Hawai’i fisherman/owner!!!”

“My nephew works there!! He’s awesome!! Ask for Jeffrey W.”

“Very delicious. There was a language barrier, but the lady who helped us was lovely and sweet. You order from the table QR code. I'm not sure if you can customize too much”

“I like the servers and the ambiance is younger and bright, but it can take a while to get food. This type of Chinese food isn't as common in Davis so it's more busy, but if you're not into this, not worth coming back.

More a place for snacks, drinks, or maybe rice plates than a meal or soup.

Spicy soup and braised beef had too much of an earthy flavor, would not get these again.”

“This is a family, friendly dinner spot in Davis with lots of seating for guests. The food was pretty good, and I loved the calamari and the pasta carbonara. Overall, the portions were decent sized too and great for sharing.”

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. Their Tikka masala is some of the best tasting food I've ever eaten - I'm not sure how they make it so good, but you owe it to yourself to go eat some!”

“Love this place! It needs more recognition because locals don’t even know about it. Great food, great atmosphere!”

“It's probably the best Chinese food in Davis. Not a bad thing on the menu, and everything is always made to order. Staff is friendly. The only thing is is it super quiet inside.”

“Hands down the best boba shop in Davis. I love getting the coconut smoothie with brown sugar boba. I have tried other coconut smoothies and none taste as delicious as the one you can get here! A lot of other places also don’t offer a coconut smoothie. 100% recommend ?!”

“Great quality of food and service”

“Great Beer, but your CARD ONLY policy is FKN LAMO - Cash is king... I don't liked to be track of what I do on my spare time.”

“Coffee, ambiance and nut butter banana toast are worth a visit! I visited Cloud Forrest Cafe from Colusa on 2/7/2019 for ‘Coffee with Cops,’ which had a great turn out from law enforcement and first responders. I wish the Davis community had attended to support law enforcement.”

“first time and I loved it!!”

“Food was fresh, hot and very very tasty!! It also has a Full bar and drinks. The lighting is a bit on the lower side. We only saw the food crowd as it was late afternoon and there was a constant stream. Service was super nice and accommodating...thanks for that! Overall, good tasting Indian and Nepali food with nice service!!”

“Great Classic Chinese food restaurant! Went here with my mom last night. Great WonTon soup, excellent broth. Fresh vegetables in S&S pork. I’ll definitely go again! Food was fast, wait staff was attentive, easy on the wallet.”

“Thee best tacos I have ever eaten. Also tried their Nacho Fries — holy moly, incredible. Everything is so fresh and perfect tasting. Best Mexican food in the area, maybe even the whole country.”

“Davis’ newest coffee spot! I’m so exited for a new coffee choice!! First time visiting. Volt did not disappoint. Vanilla latte is always my go to when trying out a new place. They had a choice of medium and dark roast. I chose the dark. It was delicious!! A perfect balance of all flavors. Staff is wonderful. Choice of indoor and outdoor seating. The view of the beautiful and humongous cork oaks is superb. Guads food truck is there. We got breakfast burritos. And of course they were delicious. We will definitely be back and I will be recommending this coffee shop to everyone. They also offer a selection of beer if you so desire!”

“Super cute boba shop with interesting seasonal flavor (banana)! I've never been to any of the locations of this chain but I will probably be back, honestly I liked it a lot! Much better than T4 imo.”

“Good food, large portions with enough to take home. The drinks are not as flavorful as other places, particularly the Yakult drinks which did not have much Yakult flavor. It was very warm and muggy inside, so it was a little uncomfortable to eat there on a warmer spring evening. We ended not finishing our meal and took it home to finish because my wife and kids were complaining about how hot and muggy they were. Overall a good place to get food, but their drinks are not as good as other Boba/Tea shops in town. Also for the comfort of customers, they should turn on the A/C (might have been broken, but I didn’t ask). We did like their food which was flavorful and would go back for their other food dishes, but may get our tea drinks elsewhere.”

“Shrimps are crazy. I would recommend this place if you ready to have cool dining experience with unhealthy fried food😂 They are amazing for dinner with your partner. Prices are great as well”

“Yum, was absolutely delicious. Excellent customer service. 👍”

“Super fast and tasty food with excellent customer service. The front lady is super nice and incredibly considerate, a new favorite restaurant for sure!”

“The owner(?) was really nice, and when I visited again, the cashier was also very kind. Pineapple and pistachio flavors are excellent, and their toppings are of surprisingly high quality for a froyo place.”

“I'd really like to rate this place higher. It used to be bomb. Now, when I ask for extra beans, and PAY FOR EXTRA beans, the bean burrito has fewer beans than before. It's pretty much a bean flavored tortilla burrito. Gonna just have to start making my own.”

“I kept wondering if Mrs Craig Vanessa was really an expert trader like they say, that she is not a scammer like the others, then I contacted her and I was shocked and amazed that with just $1,500 I invested, Mrs. Craig Vanessa helped me managed my account and after 7 Days of trading, I made my first withdrawal of $16,700. I'm here to testify the good work of her after she made a good profit for me in my investment. She's reachable via WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa”

“The food is amazing! The owner Jordan was very friendly and informative. Our waitress Diana was a pleasure. The tea leaf salad was delicious. Will be going back to try more food in the menu .”

“Mountain Mike’s Pizza in Davis has great pizza 🍕 and a friendly staff. Keep up the great work everyone at Mountain Mike’s!”

“Comes to eat really late today and most of restaurants are closed. I had a griddle cooked chicken and wonton soup, both of dishes are good. It’s nice to have spicy food also with some soup, the service is really awesome and she takes good care of me. Made my night, I will definitely come for late night food in the future. I also wanna to try their BBQ, smells so good.”

“Really great coffee, quick service, lots of seating, easy access to Wifi.”

“Wow, it looks like it tastes so good and Riley williams professionally scooped it and had it ready for pick up and didnt even charge me. Would’ve given six stars but I couldn’t taste it cause covid so just five stars sorry”

“Very good Hunan cuisine. I've done dine-in and take-out, and I always order the eggplant, griddle pig intenstines, and sour fish soup. Generous portions and probably the best Hunan food I've had.”

“One of the best decorated Tiki bars I have seen in awhile. The drinks were great. The staff were very nice. CHEERS!”

“Delicious homemade ice cream with unique flavors!”

“My favorite place to eat in Davis! Great sandwiches, built to perfection. I have tried other places, I always go back to Mr Pickles! Great service & friendly staff. It’s just the best. Photo is of my favorite the “Mrs Pickle ( no cheese please!) ❤️❤️❤️”

“I’ve visited Shah’s Halal Food several times — the food is delicious, the portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. The chicken tikka, lamb, and falafel were all fresh, with sauces and sides that matched perfectly. The staff was friendly, and enjoying the meal in the park was a great experience. Highly recommended!”🩵”

“I travel 500 miles just to come to UOB. I love this place.”

“Nice place to stop if you are in Davis. The food is good and portion sizes are decent. Service could have been better but it’s a college town so…. Other than that if you want some good food stop by and try it out”

“Zumapoke is my favorite poke place in town, by far! Always fresh and delicious, and leaves me full and happy every time. I would eat here every day if I could!”

“Simply a cultural mecca for Davis when it comes to community of art, fashion, music and lifelong friendships. Grab a sip & a meal and take in the casual nature of this establishment.”

“Completely dissatisfied with the food. I had high hopes too.”

“The speed of this place is outstanding. Ordered a steak burrito to go and it was ready in less than 1.5 minutes. And was delicious. If you want a quick stop, delicious food, or both, this is the spot to go.”

“I love the new Starbucks location. There so much more room and the vibe is great. I wish they didn’t change and charge more for extra scoop of matcha but my drinks still comes out great. The toasted sandwiches are also tasty when you want a quick snack.”

“I always get my coffee the right way.. I love this place. .”

“We had the fajitas and the mango chicken burrito. Both were fresh and fantastic. Staff were friendly, but dealing with a lot of to go orders on Saturday night. We didn’t mind the wait as they have a nice salsa bar and reasonably priced margarita.”

“This is a the best Subway in Davis! The food is fresh and they are very quick and organized. Their store is always clean. The staff is friendly and kind. Thanks for great service!”

“I tried the beef lamb plate and was not disappointed. The food tasted fresh and the flavor was definitely there. I think it would have really knocked it out of the park if there was some cut tomatoes and red onion, maybe. Otherwise, the sauce was great.

I got spicy on the side because I shared with my kids. I also bought a side of fries and was happy with the portion - more than enough for my two kids to share and me to pick off of.

Next time I’d love to try the dolma and baklava!”

“The food was delicious. The wait was a little long, but it's because the place was packed - and I can see why! Sandwiches, multiple types of European salads, little desserts. Definitely recommend.”

“Delicious food and great food”

“Despite being in a tiny food truck right next to the Silo bus hub, Shah's Halal Food punches miles above its weight in terms of food, service speed, and convenience for a regular student like me. Yes, theres other places on campus, but none are THIS good and THIS close to where I actually have stuff happening on a regular day. All the Gyros ive tried from this place have been well worth their price; having amazing food within a few minutes of walking is priceless to me.

Try it if you ever swing by the Silo, they'll have amazing food even if the UC Davis-provided seating isnt the best in the world. 9.5/10 would absolutely recommend (though you shouldn't sit on the concrete seats too long, ill admit.)

Dietary restrictions: It's got it in the name; No pork, compliant with what most Muslims are allowed to eat, and pretty tasty too!”

“I LOVED this market stand at Davis Farmers' Market! ! I wish I had one at my market in Placerville :)”

“Jersey is the best 👌 always ready with a great joke
And mel the manager is always so awesome 👌 👏 this store is perfect 👌👌 if i could rate 10 stars i would
Edit for update ✨️ still best ten out of ten on everything ♡ mel always remembers our orders n names its always so nice goin in the store”

“The best lemonade in town and kindest people. My son loves them”

“Coming here and taking a sip of that sweet boba tea reminded me of when I first got beat by my dad. They took me to Sharetea so I wouldn't call the cops. Great memories. Thanks guys! That's how great this place is. Brings back repressed memories.”

“The CoHo is my favorite place to gather my energy with a fresh cup of coffee in the morning. I have met many new friends there, as it is easy to start a conversation while choosing which coffee to have. As a photographer, I have also gotten some great shots!”

“bread is awsome decent price fresh baked bread is smackin”

“Highly recommend!!Coho has many great food options, but a steamy bowl of delicious pho after classes always hits the spot! Meat here is juicy, vegetables fresh, and the broth variety allows me to experiment with different soup tastes. On certain days, I also like to grab some freshly-made sushi, especially the Rainbow Roll! The staff is friendly and very fast, rolling through a big line during regular noon rush hour in no time!”

“Love this location :) the employees are a+. closes a bit early though”

“Yum! I had their falafel pita wrap with a side of hummus and it was delicious. 10/10 recommend, already planning to go back. P.s. that pita was lit.
Staff was super nice too!!”

“I am writing to express my sincerest condolences to noahs bagels, since posh bagel has completely dominated and killed them in the ring in every possible way. Noah is in a coma and may never wake up after the beating they received from posh. It wasn't even close”

“I love how they put so much effort into creating fresh buffet meals every day. All the food here is great, and there are an array of choices. Unfortunately, the hours are limited.”

“Super fast and tasty food with excellent customer service. The front lady is super nice and incredibly considerate, a new favorite restaurant for sure!”

“It's unusual to find a restaurant serving high quality Dim Sum outside of San Francisco, so it's always a treat to take my family to Well Season. Although I'm now comfortable with the variety of dishes available at a Dim Sum restaurant, I grew up in New Hampshire which, to the best of my knowledge, still doesn't have a single Dim Sum restaurant in the entire state. Nonetheless, the staff at Well Season are patient and helpful with newcomers . They have times when they serve from the traditional Dim Sum carts, but they also always have have plastic covered Dim Sum picture menus available that you can mark up with a dry erase marker to select the dishes you want. My favorites are Siu Mai (minced pork and shrimp dumplings) and Shrimp Har Gow (translucent or "crystal" shrimp dumplings. The only aspect of the restaurant that strikes me as odd is the venue. Well Season restaurant is in a former Applebees building, with lots of exterior windows, so the ambiance has a distinctive American feel to go with the traditional Dim Sum menu.”

“first time at in n out. friendly employees and burger was good. don't like the fries”

“Pizza was amazing! I would go back.”

“the food here is fabulous and the staff is very attentive. great restaurant with an awesome outdoor atmosphere.”

“Night staff hold it down really well. One of the staff helped me out with my order and provided me with quick service, with top quality hot food. Workers at this location should be paid for how busy it is while maintaining good quality service!!!”

“We love this location and travel to this one every time over the one in our own town. The staff here anre always amazing, especially a server named Kaylee. Ask for him when you dine here!”

“You may find other restaurants that serve these dishes, but not all in the same place, and not for as reasonable a price. If you and some friends are hungry but can't decide where to go, go here. Everybody will be happy.

Oh, sorry I didn't take a picture of the food, I just couldn't wait to eat it.”

“Nice place to stop if you are in Davis. The food is good and portion sizes are decent. Service could have been better but it’s a college town so…. Other than that if you want some good food stop by and try it out”

“I'd really like to rate this place higher. It used to be bomb. Now, when I ask for extra beans, and PAY FOR EXTRA beans, the bean burrito has fewer beans than before. It's pretty much a bean flavored tortilla burrito. Gonna just have to start making my own.”

“I live in Walnut Creek, so I’m never able to go to a Raising Cane’s, but whenever I go somewhere that has one, it’s a mandatory stop. Good chicken fingers and I love the Cane’s sauce. Was also served food in less than 5 minutes even though the place was packed.”

“I’m here to review Genesis, our server, who was extremely good. Genesis had our coffee and water on the table so quickly, and her demeanor was so sweet and attentive. I haven’t been to an ihop in a long time, but will likely be coming back since our experience was so nice thanks to Genesis 😃”

“This is the best place to eat in Davis!! Love going here and I at least go back once a week. Go here for good food that is well priced and gives you plenty of for your money”

“everything good”

“First time visiting. They have a lot of variety of drinks, and some drinks that I haven't seen at any other boba places. Quick service. Want to come here again to try out more drink flavors. I got the brown sugar boba mochi milk tea. Was a little too sweet for me but you can pick a less sweet option. The mochi was a bit odd, it was slimy and honestly I really didn't know what to expect. I would probably not get the mochi topping again.”

“I had a great lunch with my son last week. Close to closing time but the staff was friendly and very courteous. The crepes were perfect and delicious. Thank you”

“Great service and authentic Mexican food the shrimp cocktail was delicious”

“The service and food were outstanding! The hotpot we ordered was both delicious and generous, perfect for sharing between two people. Our server, with the pretty blue nails, was fantastic, super friendly and engaging. She made the experience even more enjoyable by sharing fun stories and walking us through the menu with great explanations. We truly appreciated the effort she put into making our visit to Tasty Pot memorable, and we’ll definitely be back!”

“Really good food, although expensive

The staff was super nice and friendly. Ordered a double cheeseburger and it was very filling. Paired with fries and a soda though, ended up paying 20 bucks. I definitely wouldn't be able to come here often due to the price, but when you're craving a good burger this is definitely a great joint.”
