45 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Davis

“Good Friends Hawaiian Poke absolutely nailed it—from start to finish. The fish is incredibly fresh, and the customizable bowls are packed with flavor and generous portions. The Delilah style bowl is a standout, and the sushi wraps are huge and bursting with taste.

The team is outstanding—they’re friendly, patient, and make you feel welcome, even if you’re dining solo. It truly feels like eating with good friends. The line moves quickly, and the service is warm and efficient.

As a long-time fan, I appreciate the consistency, though I hope portions stay steady—that’s one small note in an otherwise perfect experience. Loved it so much I drive here even if I don’t live in Davis anymore! Highly recommend this gem to anyone craving authentic Hawaiian-style poke.

Top-notch food, fantastic service, and a vibe that keeps you coming back.“

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

“Each experience at Osteria Fasulo in Davis, CA has been excellent across the board. We have enjoyed marvelous experiences here for many years and our recent Anniversary dinner was no exception. The parmesan souffle wrapped in prosciutto and surrounded with diced peaches was delectable and could be shared if desired. My wife loved the pasta with plentiful Dungeness crab and I selected the delicious squab. I chose this because it is not often offered on restaurant menus and upon Matteo's recommendation. His service, once again, was impeccable. On a day when the temperature rose to 103 degeees, there were only a few diners outside in the beautiful setting and by 6PM on a Friday evening the inside was packed and patrons were waiting to be seated. Yes, it is pricey for some secondi offerings but overall worh it for one the best on food quality, preparation, presentation and service. Highly recommended.“

“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.“

“Best sandwich ever.

Do I really need to say more?
I’m serious. Best sandwich ever. Staff always is on lookout to see if your beer is running low. Highly recommend stopping by Beach Hut Davis for a Sunrise Sandwich and a beer or two.“

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

“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!“

“I LOVE GUADS!!!! I have probably spent thousands of dollars here throughout my time in college..... the food is so tasty, quick, affordable. It is such a nice vibe here. When I am really busy with school, I sometimes come here 1-3 times a week. All of my friends are always down to go to Guads, because it is just THAT good. Some items that I particularly enjoy are the beef tamales, chicken posole, carne asada tacos, and tostadas. Barbacoa beef is so tasty. Must try if you are in Davis. Other Mexican restaurants pale in comparison to Guads. The lines can be long, so if you mobile order, then you can have the food ready for you by the time you get to the beginning of the line LOL. So, if you are a super busy college student, I would highly recommend mobile ordering so that it is ready when you arrive. Seating is limited. Salsas are tasty. Horchata is gooooddddddd. Pineapple juice is sooooo nice too. Love love love love love. Often, this is like 20% of my diet........“

“We love this place. The staff is friendly and the food is TOPS! They have an AMAZING gluten free bun. My husband (who is not gluten free) has raved about everything he has tried so far too. We probably eat here every two weeks.

The space is wide open and tables are accessible for mobility devices users. My only complaint is that sometimes they have live music in the courtyard between the burger place and the bar next door, and it can be a little loud. We try not to go on a Friday or Saturday night. Or we get take out and bring it back during live music nights (and if that is your jam, the music is usually really
good).

If you have never been, it has a cool California nature retro vibe inside, a small arcade/claw machine area. and some indoor and outdoor seating. They also have TVs that usually have sports playing. The also have a rewards points program that you can get in on and earn free food.“

“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 !!“

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

“Pizza was amazing! I would go back.“

“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!“

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

“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“

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

“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.“

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

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

“I recently visited Café Bernardo in Davis and was really impressed by the overall experience. The atmosphere is casual yet stylish, with a cozy and welcoming vibe. It’s the perfect spot whether you want to catch up with friends, have a quiet meal, or even get some work done.

The menu offers a good mix of options, from fresh salads and sandwiches to heartier dishes. I ordered the avocado toast with eggs, and it was delicious—artful and full of flavor, with perfectly ripe avocado and a hint of spice. The coffee was excellent too, rich and smooth.

Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the food came out quickly despite the cafe being busy. Prices are reasonable for the quality, and they use locally sourced ingredients, which is always a plus.

If you're in Davis and looking for a relaxed place to grab a flavorful bite, Café Bernardo is definitely worth a visit!“

“It’s been a while since I have been to T-Kumi, but I keep coming back to have their Ramen. I just really like their broth (Tonkatsu is my favorite) and I like that they put more ingredients in their ramen than most other ramen restaurants without needing to pay extra. However, they have a note on the kiosks when you order that they are “currently out of soft boiled eggs” (my guess is due to the recent high egg prices). I also like their Pork Belly Rice a lot and the kids really like their Popcorn Chicken. They have really good drinks, rice bowls and snack items. You can place your order with their 2 kiosks or you can order with from a staff (most people just order from the kiosk). Once you order from the kiosk, you are given a number and the staff will call out your number when you order is ready, then just raise your hand and they will deliver it to you. Water is self serve through the water dispenser (paper cups available) next to the cash register. Ambiance is chill and they always have some to ing playing on the TV for you to watch (today it is Avatar “Animated”, but sometimes they have K-Pop music videos or some sort of movie). I will continue to come back for their Tonkatsu Ramen as so far I have not found another Ramen place that has as tasty of broth as the one at T-Kumi.“

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

“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!“

“Delicious homemade ice cream with unique flavors!“

“Great wine selection! With our wine, we tried the delicious homemade hummus and pita appetizer, best I've had! We also tried the sampler platter, so tastful and beatiful.“

“Love the variety! My favorite restaurant here is definitely the crepes place. I always order the nutella banana one! Otherwise, I go to spokes and get a regular cheeseburger, which is alright. I do like the Peet's coffee here, but I much prefer the one at the ARC since my order has been messed up a couple times.“

“I used to come to this restaurant in the mid '00s, and it changed both name and ownership at some point between then and now. Perhaps I'm having a bit of nostalgia fogging, but it seems the quality declined somewhat the change. However, Nami is still a perfectly serviceable mid-range sushi restaurant even if they are no longer a hidden top-tier gem the way I remember them having been in 2005. Their sashimi continues to be decent, as do their bento boxes. They rolled out an AYCE menu at some point as well, but I haven't tried this as I tend to be skeptical of AYCE anywhere. The lunch service tends to run a bit slow even when the place is nearly empty, which I find mildly frustrating when I'm in a hustle to get back to work. The staff does seem to have some difficulty with English (they speak Cantonese as their primary language), which has made for difficulties in recent visits (explaining that I was not in fact ordering AYCE), but I have since become somewhat of a regular so they remember my preferences, which is a nice touch. I wouldn't call this a destination restaurant, but I appreciate it for its convenience and its prices which I find to be far more reasonable than many other Japanese restaurants in Davis. All in all, a good mix of quality, convenience, and cost -- a good lunchtime choice for folks who live and/or work in East Davis.“

“Having had the pleasure of eating street tacos up and down the coast from Baja to the Mission, I will say that these are… fine. Al Pastor were a bit better than Carne Asada, but both meats were room temp, nowhere near hot, and the corn tortillas were straight from the bag, not heated at all. Taste was pretty good and portions plentiful.

Chicken burrito was good; meat was freshly stewed and hot; more rice than necessary, good beans, and the salsa bar inside has a rainbow of options.

It’s popular and the patio is mostly shaded and wonderful.

Parking: Next to a grocery store, in a strip mall, you can park anywhere.“

“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 .“

“Joe and crew are the best! 😁“

“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 ?!“

“first time there ~ Sister treated the whole fam. The wait staff were very good. place is clean, with a great atmosphere. Enjoyed my food completely.“

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

“I LOVE DUTCH! It’s so good, and staff is exceptional!!!!! I have some drinks that are in my top 5 and this location always leaves me satisfied. Keep up the good work y’all! Pictured is my half full, peach ring rebel, extra thicccc, extra sweeet! ✌???“

“Amazing food at this location. I visit this location almost every time I am in Davis. The salsa bar allows you to choose from several selections. You will not be disappointed.

“Delicious coffee as always. ❤️“

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

“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.“

“Delicious, delicious, delicious!!! We had thai ice tea (free refills), satay, "drunken" noodles, and thai stir fry. Great service, too!“

“Where to start.. well imagine you’re walking in a desert and you see an Oasis. Like we’re talking Wonderwall Oasis. That beacon of hope is Davis Jamba Juice“

“A special time with special people and lots of laughter! Cheers“

“first time and I loved it!!“

“It was my dog’s last day on earth, and I wanted to bring her one final treat...something she had always loved, something that had been part of so many of our adventures together. I pulled into Starbucks, barely holding it together, and asked for a Puppuccino for her last day. What they did next broke me in the most beautiful way.❤️❤️

This is the Starbucks I go to regularly, but on my last visit, they went above and beyond in a way I will never forget...

I had to say goodbye to my beloved dog, Annabelle, after her throat cancer had spread. On her last day, I took her on one final adventure, our usual trip to Starbucks, where she could enjoy her favorite treat, a Puppuccino. Through my tears, I asked the baristas if they could write something on her cup since it would be her last Puppuccino. What they did next truly touched my heart.

Not only did they decorate her cup, but they also brought her a little sausage treat and came to the window to tell me how sorry they were for what I was going through. Every single one of them took a moment to acknowledge Annabelle, her life, and the love we shared. They didn’t have to do any of this, but they did..because kindness still exists in this world, and that day, I needed it more than ever.

I had hardly any hope left, but in that moment, they made my day a little brighter, a little warmer, a little more bearable. Annabelle left this earth wrapped in love, compassion, and her favorite Starbucks adventure that day.

To the team who made this small but incredibly meaningful gesture, thank you. Your kindness on one of the hardest days of my life will stay with me forever. 💖🥹“
