Reviews for The Coffee House in Davis, CA
Slow service only because they serve a billion students a day. But consistently decent drinks and pastries. Never fails to... satisfy. Read more
The Coho, for what it is, is great. And what it is, is a student run coffee bar that has a friendly staff, and a decent... selection at an excellent price. Where else can you get a medium coffee and a blueberry muffin for less than $5? However, Iavoid anything other than that order. Their lattes are hard to call lattes. This is the type of take that gets eyerolls fromother people but I remain resolved. The students making them often have no prior experience, so I don't blame them, but Isuspect many of them have never even had a latte. It's a coarse foam over lukewarm burnt espresso. And then there are thepastries. Most are pretty good, not very fresh but definitely decent. Except for their strawberry croissants. I don't know whathad to go wrong for them to serve what was decidedly *not* a strawberry croissant. When I bit into it I thought I was having ananeurysm. It tasted like raspberry, which is a very distinct flavor from strawberry. I went back to the display to check to seeif I had mistakenly ordered a raspberry croissant, but sure enough it said strawberry. I felt like I was going crazy. I told theattendant, she grabbed her manager and I told them it tasted like raspberry. She said they never order raspberry. My whole worldcrumbled. For a brief second I considered the other options. That I was having a paranoid delusion. A mental break. I expectedto them say that I had never ordered a croissant at all and that I was losing my mind. In an effort to rectify the situation andsave me from what must have looked like the brink of a psychotic episode, the manager graciously offered to replace it with adifferent pastry. "Now I guess you know that you don't like it", they said. I felt a mild sense of gaslighting, I know whatstrawberry tastes like, and I definitely like it. But if I were in their position I probably would've handled it the same way. Iwasn't expecting a side of derealization with my morning coffee and pastry, but you can never know what to exp Read more
Depends on the day and your mood...this is a busy coffee house. So if you know that much and know you might run into a line... during passing period- all else will be good!. Students working this coho are usually pretty awesome, chill n friendly. Wishthey had whole milk! Haha. Otherwise great spot for a pick me up! Tons of seating inside and outside. Read more
Went for coffee here obe late afternoon and although they have lots of different coffees (self serve) only one was hot this... time. Have't been in the morning when i assume all would be hot. Otherwise the service was good. Coffee is so cheap, there is noreason why some carafe would be empty or contain cold coffee. The place was not that busy. Read more
I asked a staff member if they had any muffins and they told me ?what you see is what we have?. Well, I?ve never been here and... don?t know your bakery layout and isn?t it your job to help me make a purchase? I feel like asking if they have muffins for saleis a pretty simple question for somewhere which sells baked goods - at least pretend to check for me. Bought a coffee insteadand it was mediocre. I do recruiting from this campus and will be bringing my own breakfast next time. Read more
It's all right, especially if you're a UCD student. If not, you can do better downtown with any food genre. The açai bowls are... pretty good for their relatively cheap price (5.50). I'd recommend splurging 50 more cents on almonds, and putting honey on it(from the coffee bar) Read more
The first time I tried coffee here it was gross so I avoided the place altogether, and I decided to give it another shot. This... time I examined how they were created their drinks and they let the espresso shots expire(probably why it tastes bad) and mydrink came about 3/4 full. I asked them to fill the void with whipped cream and they said it costs extra. This place is theworst coffee spot in Davis, the bio brew is 100% better. Read more
This is fantastic!! Go for the academic bowl!! Also had a terrific latte!! They were so nice when I accidently picked up the... wrong order. Great service! Read more
