All I wanted to do was hang out at Stonestown. I've always wondered about this place. It always seemed a little misplaced to me, amidst the throb of bustling people, it always stood out. Either way, I decided to take my chances and have a nice cup of something caffeinated.
YES! I got the caramel macchiato. In reality, I probably should have braved the double or maybe...TRIPLE!?!?!?! shot, but I backed down. Delicious stuff!
The baristas were nice. They were joking behind the counter, but courteous, respectfully, and polite. The drink? Excellent. I have no complaints. It was totally worth it and I would have paid up to $0.75 more for that. Maybe it's because I didn't get my caffeine that day. Delightfully flavored: not too sweet and the aftertaste was jolting! Just how I like it.
I should make it a point to come back here more often. For caffeine junkies, it's the perfect place, not to mention all the delicious looking pastries and the like.

Great place. I went on a Friday and there were a bunch of people there. It's a nice little diner and I just love the little stools for the table. I wish they had more of them (better yet I wish I could take one home).
The Ice cream? Delicious. I opted for the Peppermint flavor. Nothing like the taste of Christmas when it's not Christmas! Tasted great and there were even bits of Peppermint in there! Surprised me.
Great stuff, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, and best of all the portions. They don't like to go easy on your cravings. If you're on a diet you should avoid this place. For those of us who aren't on a diet, enjoy tackling the various flavors and HUGE (No joke) portions.

Nothing too special, but it's a great location with an extremely courteous wait staff. Tried a few dishes and soup with some rice. Our group consisted of 6 people and we all walked away full with food left.
At first I didn't think we'd even be satiated. Delicious plates that incorporate Thai spices and veggies. Tofu! Meat! Beef? Chicken? Pork? Yup, they've got it all. Pretty good stuff. I'd definitely go back for more. Gotta try the red curry when you go there. It's spectacular.

Cheap but classy. Delicious yet affordable. Toys, Ice Cream, Candy, Cards, Milkshakes, Sodas, Sandwiches, Tapioca...what more can anyone ask for? For a kid, it's heaven. For a 20 year old kid, it's a great place to get food. Whether you have the munchies or you're up for a fresh sandwich, JJ is the place to go! The sandwich meats are freshly sliced and the tomatoes, lettuce, jalapenos....so....fresh..soo.....tasty. Definitely will visit again.

Service: EXCELLENT. I think the owner is a little kid at heart. Don't tell him I said that.

Great place. I just went there last night with a couple of guys and we had a great time. The Davis classic was delicious and even better we got the student discount off a x-large pizza. That helped us poor college students out a bunch. Great atmosphere, excellent service. All in all a great place to hang and enjoy some pizza.

An excellent venue! It's clean, the employees are very helpful, and so far I've found everything that I wanted. I love browsing the books, especially the discount section. I'm always getting good deals there. They have a great music selection and I love their DVDs. All in all, I'm going to be in there for a long time to come.

Excellent place! The pizza is well priced and the portions are HUGE. To reiterate it is THE BEST PIZZA EVER! Great place to go with friends. They take the burning hot pizza out of the oven, cut it, and put it on your table. I've gotten deliveries from Brother's and have dined in many times. Excellent place to take a group of friends, have a good time, and get FULL of delicious food.

Love Davis, love the atmosphere, the people, the town, and the parks. Davis is such a beautiful place to be. Taking the bike trail and visiting all those parks is a wonderful experience. You learn to find things to do.

Great place to buy ethnic foods and snacks as well as unique beverages that you probably wouldn't find elsewhere. I visit at least once a week and I always buy a ton of snacks and drinks. There's nothing like coming home to a cool sparkling juice or apple cider. I love it!
The staff is helpful and nice and sometimes there are great deals and sales at Cost Plus, making it the place to be. I've only been here for food items and I would say they are fairly priced. It's definitely a place to see some unique items.

Kim's Mart

Kim's Mart is the one stop shop for all things Asian. Where else can you find Asian drinks like Bon Bon and their wonderful ice creams that are oh so great on a hot day after a long day of school? Kim's mart carries everything from black beans to preserved duck eggs and preserved anchovies. The prices are decent and the owners are very friendly.

I recommend the sushi, drinks, seaweed salad, and anchovies. Kim's is a great place to shop if you need ingredients for an Asian dish or if you just want to try something new. If you're looking for an adventure, pop right in and you're bound to find something that you haven't tried yet. Great place.
