If you aren't going or returning from Tahoe (passing through Auburn), the Davis location is the next best thing to pick up a pie or freshly picked fruit. Smaller than the Auburn location, it does not sell burgers or freshly baked single serving chicken pot pie. Do get a basket of Ikeda's orchard grown peaches and nectarines. The flavor and sweetness is to die for.
Their pies are amazing, worth every penny. My favorites are the peach and mile high Apple pies. It's all fruit, hardly any syrup, and fruit is firm.

Read moreThe pies are good, but 3 stars for difficulty in shopping here as a parent. The parking lot is unpaved, and the store aisles are narrow and crowded. I had a lot of difficulty shopping here with a young child. You will not be able to fit a stroller down the aisle, there is stuff everywhere, and getting the cart and the stroller over an unpaved parking lot, covered in sharp rocks, is pretty impossible. I don’t know if the pies are so good that they justify the hassle, esp for Sacramento residents who have Ricks Dessert Diner, which has a huge selection and takes pre/special orders. But, worth a stop esp if you don’t have kids or...
