An very cute spot to get your caffeine fix! The seasonal drinks taste great

If UC Davis built a coffee shop to represent itself, it would look a lot like this — sleek on the outside, soulless on the inside. The walls would be minimalist, the playlists corporate, and the coffee would cost too much for how little it delivers. Every latte would taste like the campus itself: overhyped, overbranded, and underwhelming.
In this hypothetical café, “community” would be a buzzword on the chalkboard, not a feeling in the air. Students would sit isolated at shiny tables, surrounded by slogans about sustainability and innovation — two words UC Davis loves to say but rarely lives.
The espresso machines would hum like PR copy: smooth, mechanical, and utterly detached. Because, hypothetically, that’s UC Davis in a cup — perfectly brewed image, zero real flavor.
Not feeling that? UCD focus on image and this place is let you believe you are good when actually not

Great value for money and comfy for working. Note: During summer the place closes at 4pm.

Favorite spot on the campus!

Lots of options for good prices! Often hard to find a table.

Pachamama coffee on campus. Owned by a cooperative of smallholder organic coffee growers.

The pumpkin bread is mislabelled as dairy free (that, or bad cross contamination). I got an immediate reaction in my stomach after eating a few bites

Very appreciative of this place, their drinks are super cheap and tasty. Their Matcha is great, which can’t be said for a lot of places.

Staff always seem to be on Their Own schedule dry/rude ... obviously uninterested or under-trained (milk laden dirty chai with zero flavors of espresso or even of coffee)Not worth the 6$ to be looked past and served a underwhelming beverageSquirrels earned the 2* rating btw

There was this employee named Diego, by far one of the best cashiers I have ever met. I was crying after one of my midterms, and he paid for my drink. He told me it would be ok and his kindness will never be forgotten. ASUCD you are truly lucky to have him.
Workers here don't know what sauces are vegan– last time I was told ALL sauces were vegan; today I was told NONE of them were. Also, having someone who takes your order judge you is the worst. The hot chocolate was good.

Vegetarian options: Waiters don't know (and seemingly don't care) what's vegan and what's not.

I was so happy with the service my mother and I got when we were here. I really got to show her around with some great coffee.
