Reviews for Village Bakery in Davis, CA
I love the cakes n pastries there!
I just had coffee and an apple scone. Generally I?m a savoury person and was disappointed they had no pizza slices, but damn... that scone was good. If I?ve eaten a better scone in my life I cannot remember it. Read more

I used to come frequently, maybe 2-3 times a week for the pizza by the slice (soooo good with ranch). Recently haven't been... coming by as much but noticed there were new tables and chairs outside that I sat at maybe once or twice so far while waitingfor the train. Today I was sitting there with food from another location and an older man that I had never interacted withbefore exited the building, got in his car, and then drove up behind me and told me that the tables and chairs were for Villagecustomers only and that I couldn't sit there unless I went in and purchased something. He seemed very annoyed and a littleconfrontational, so I just responded with "ok" and he drove off. While I understood his point and left, I think it might be intheir best interest to put some signs out? Not to mention that I was the only one sitting at any of the tables-- if it had beenbusier and customers were looking for seats then I would have understood completely. It was a little frustrating and kind ofcreepy and the experience turned me off from coming again. Well, that and some of the flavorless pastries. Read more
I liked the pizza, but it was kind of pricey. I got a slice of pizza and a soda for 10 dollars it was good and all, but not for... the price. It has good desserts, but again the pice is high. I got a chocolate cake the size of my hand for 6 dollars. Read more
Good pizza and baked goods (4/5 green stars) The Village Bakery is one of the first places you?ll see when you get off an Amtrak... train, so it?s a very convenient pit-stop before or after a trip. Nice outdoor seating with shade. The man at the counter andthe chef/owner were both friendly and helpful. I had a slice of the veggie pizza ($3.50) and a mixed berry scone ($2.50). Allthe food looked appetizing ? they had some good-looking eclairs and cream puffs but I tried to exercise some self-control ;) Theselection of veggies on pizza was great: nicely caramelized onions, zucchini, peppers, etc. Not too heavy on sauce or cheese.Most of the cheese was feta, which really worked well with the veggies. The scone was really delicious: crumbly and light,dusted with icing sugar and animated with the flavor of blackberries and blueberries. I?m giving the Village Bakery 4/5 ?greenstars? for social and environmental impact, based on these reasons: ? They use local fruit and veggies when possible andeverything made in house. ? For the pizza, they use olive oil for the crust (unlike some other pizza places). Olive oil isgenerally a sustainable product. ? They source organic tomatoes for the pizza sauce when in season / affordable. ? For thebakery side, their dairy comes from Crystal Creamery. From what I?ve read I?d place them somewhere in the middle ? not nearly asgood as an organic creamery like Strauss, not as bad as Dean Foods (Berkeley Farms). ? Not much waste generation ? the pizza isserved on a paper plate and bakery items in a paper bags. Unbleached, recycled paper would be an improvement. I think theutensils and lids were conventional plastic. ? Two out of the three pizzas on sale were vegetarian. Ever written a green starreview? Please contact me if you have done so, or if you?d like to know more! Read more
