Davis Creamery — Restaurant in Davis

passed through davis for dinner and wanted a sweet treat after. saw that davis creamery had high reviews due to its flavors.

// ambiance // there is a small inside with an area to stand and line and merch section. there is no indoor seating, but there are outdoor tables.

// service // employees were friendly. two samples per person.

// price + portion // we got a double for $6.50. this was a very good price for ice cream shops nowadays, and each scoop is actually around ~2 scoops so the double portion was huge! more like 4 scoops, more than enough to share between at least 2 people. even the single scoop is a good portion, so the main reason why i am giving it 4 stars.

unfortunately they were out of honey lavender which is the flavor i came here for which was a bummer. i tried apple cobbler (didn't have much of a flavor? didn't taste the apple so i was confused if i got the wrong sample) and brown sugar vanilla (vanilla with a hint of brown sugar, also did not have a strong flavor).

coffee oreo: coffee ice cream with chunks of oreo. the oreo was smoothly incorporated. coffee is not too bitter or sweet.

caramel pecan sandie: caramel tastes more like the artificial kind. chunks of cookie and pecan. very sweet.

// would i reorder/return? // overall, i would return for the price and portions if they had some more interesting flavors like the honey lavender back in stock. the flavors i tried were a bit underwhelming and seemed to...

I love to get one scoop with two flavors ($4.25) which is really sweet price. I really love going spring time because of the tea flavors like oolong, jasmine tea. There are also deals from Monday - Friday ranging from discounted pints to single scoops. On Monday's 5-10pm, single scoops is $3.25. The place is super vibrant with many items to purchase such as plushies, soaps, cards, etc. Expect waits, but the lines moves pretty quickly and there's a lot of variety of flavors to choose from. No seating indoors, but there's seating outside.

Currently, ice cream bracketology is happening which is finding the new best ice flavor for this year. Customers get to submit new flavors a few weeks prior to bracketology starting.

Two samples per person. I suggest you get a waffle cone (+1.75) because it's made fresh daily, I also get slightly larger scoops too. Make sure to grab a stamp card too if...

Responding to the owner: I greatly appreciate your response and was hoping for that outcome. Monday July fourth around 5:30.

Great ice cream. Quaint location and decor. One staff member however needs to learn customer service skills. Came in with my children, was reading the options to one child while the older one ordered. As I'm actively reading the options outloud to my child, the female employee repeatedly asked "anything else", after asking her to hang on a moment, she continued to ask "anything else". Don't rush your customers. Read the room. I know you want to get back to your personal conversation but don't rush me out. There was no one behind us. It was rude and unwelcoming. Don't you remember the nostalgia of being a child and looking at all the options before making your decision. Fully grown adult trying to rush a child really. We won't be stopping there on our road...
