Coffee Shots

Amazing Breakfast with the girls.
Gourmet coffee, tasty sandwiches.
Highly recommended!!!
Thank you very much!!!

Good prices and deals + Really friendly staff + good food and drinks = a great newish café on the north side of town.

This is new coffee shop that i love. Located in the same building as Sushi Unlimited. It has plenty of seating area and it is locating in an area that is not so busy! Their coffee is delicious and barista was friendly. Tables are big enough for you to fully nerd out and produce some genius work! Recommend it!

I am so fond of Coffee Shots. It can be difficult to find a coffee shop on the way into work that you can get in and out of quickly when you live in North Davis. This place is always quick, the staff are friendly, and the coffee is really very good. I noticed the iced coffee was different, it’s really rich and creamy. Someone below mentioned it’s on nitro and that might explain why it’s so good. Prices are very reasonable and they even have a little chalkboard explaining to you what the different kinds of coffee drinks are made up of (I am not a coffee snob and sometimes shy away from trying new drinks because I don’t know what they are — I learned something new when I visited). I love this little coffee shop and I want it to stick around.

I usually go there 3 – 4 times a week since they opened it last summer, their coffee is really good and high end quality, there’s no place in Davis that can offer such a great artisan coffee, I’ve also tried all the baked goods, some of the paninis and natural smoothies and was never disappointed, always fresh and made to order.
The place offers modern atmosphere and the baristas are really friendly.
I will keep coming here, it is for sure my favorite coffee place in Davis, with lots of parking space, outdoor sitting and very fast internet. Great for casual business meetings.

Good coffee, friendly staff and convenient location. I got a mocha and it was a perfect balance of sweet and strong, and the barista made it quickly. I just came to get coffee so I can’t say much about the study environment, but there are large tables and lots of outlets so it does seem like a good place to get work done. The only suggestion I have is to put more breakfast items on the menu, since a lot of people like to eat breakfast sandwiches or oatmeal rather than just pastries. Overall a great experience.

They have that neat Nitro brew ice coffee! The place is really quiet and there a outlets along the wall if you need a charge. The wi-​fi is free and fast to stream music and video if you want to watch shows. the staff is friendly and the service is fast!
would come again for certain.

One extra star for my changed opinion!
The music is the perfect volume, and the seating area is a LOT more comfortable than I expected. There’s a lot of space to spread out your books, etc!
I’m so thankful this place is 5 min away from my apartment! The AC is just the right temperature too.
I spotted a vegan snack kit with carrots, hummus (from Chickpeas), tortilla strips and cherry tomatoes, so I’m liking what I’m seeing :) — thanks to the manager for letting me know about this!
I’ll most definitely be back!!!

Their iced coffee is the nitro brew (?) which i believe is kind of how beer is made? Meaning the end product has these little bubbles at the top like a pint of beer. I personally am not too much of a fan, it tastes kind of strange to me… So I probably will stick to iced americanos if I want just want an iced coffee-​like drink. Their Americanos are very well priced– only $ 2.50 or a medium and $ 3.00 or large.
The first time I came here, I got the berry mango smoothie which I really liked. Made with just real fruits, didn’t taste like anything was added.
I really wish they had a bar area near the window though because sometimes I like to stand to do my work. It also would save space. Right now they just have tables. But tables usually sit more than 1 person, so even if I was alone, I would take up a 2+ seater, which might be a problem once school starts and I’d imagine they will get a lot busier.
Great place for getting work done though. Internet has good speed to it and noise level is low. Outlets are abundant as well.

I’m rating this place solely as a study spot. I don’t drink much coffee but do enjoy having a nice place to study with the option of getting some quick caffeine if I ever get tired.
My first experience with this place was great. It has medium sized tables (fit 2 people comfortably), and doesn’t seem to get too busy… yet. The wifi is good enough but not the fastest, however I think it’s perfect so you don’t get distracted.
Fast forward to my 3^rd time coming and it goes downhill… Upon arriving for my 3^rd time and actually happy to be back, I set up my stuff on the table to study. 5 minutes goes by and the worker approaches me and asks if I’m going to order drinks. I reply saying I will be getting some coffee to reenergize later. (He then leaves) After another 5 minutes, well what do you know he’s back once again to ask me if I’m ordering. Idk about you guys but if I’m constantly asked to order something when I actually don’t want to atm I find it pretty irritating. I hope that isn’t protocol because the last workers that were there actually were friendly and nice. Good luck trying to study! I hope the good workers are there :) just a heads up !

Great, clean atmosphere! I’ve only been here a couple of times, and I usually get tea (hot or iced), but so far so great. :)
Great place for studying, hanging out, working… Plenty of big enough tables. And EACH TABLE HAS ACCESS TO AN OUTLET, which is AMAZING. There’s fast and free wifi, too. :)
The service is good :) Very friendly barista.
I will be coming here pretty often. I’m interested in trying out the paninis.
Great place!

I gave this place four stars because of what I hope it will soon be, rather than what it currently is.
Before I begin my review, let me put some complaints to rest: almost all chai used in lattes is pre-​packaged. Most producers of chai make both sweet and spicy variations on their recipe. Sweet seems to be standard for most places in America, but just ask if they have it before complaining. Worst case scenario is they say they don’t have it and will probably begin to keep some of it stocked in the future. End rant.
For still being pretty new this place is doing well. They opened right near the start of summer, so I’m hoping they can stay alive long enough to have this become a staple in North Davis. Atmosphere is good. Open seating, big tables, relaxed vibes, good lighting. Coffee is meh. That being said it’s still on par with Mishka’s and Pachamama. It’s just hard to find good coffee in Davis. Hopefully they’ll figure that out and start sourcing better beans or brewing better, but the cups I’ve had there tasted pretty imbalanced. Their drip coffee is better than their ice coffee, but it’s still just a little under-​roasted and under-​brewed. I haven’t had the food here, so I can’t comment on that. Service is friendly, but they are still all a little new so they’ll figure that out eventually too.

Mixed feelings.
Pros:
–Cute décor and ambiance
–Great for studying and hanging out, fairly well lit with sizeable tables
–They also make paninis compared to coffee shops with just pastries and snacks
–Very friendly barista
Cons:
–The chai is awful. Takes like sweet, medicinal and dirty?
–They’re only open until 7 in the summer
I hope I read more reviews on the paninis here since I haven’t tried them yet. The barista said the Italian and the Mediterranean panini were the most popular.

I am not usually prompted to post reviews on Unilocal,but after two poor experiences in this coffee shop, I don’t think I will come again. The first time I got a chai tea latte, and it was WAY too sweet. I could not even finish it. The second time I got a cappuccino, and the coffee was awful. If it wasn’t for the quality of drinks, I would probably come here just to study. Nice quiet environment with plenty of empty tables and chairs. And you won’t have to worry about parking.

I’ve been here twice, and i really enjoy both of my time here. The first time i got the White Mocha Latte, which is my FAVORITE drink here !!! It was actually on the sweeter side for my liking, but the coffee taste is HEAVEN. I like their espresso. It makes the drink smell and taste really good compared to Peets or Starbucks nearby. After i finished half of my cup, i added extra milk which they provide on the side to make the drink less sweet. And even after adding a bunch of milk in, you could still taste the coffee. Thats how you know that is good coffee.
The second time i came here, i got the caramel macchiato. This drink is good to, but i do not think it is good as much as the white mocha latte. It didnt have too much caramel in it and wasnt too sweet compared to starbucks. So i enjoyed it a lot as well.
This place is GREAT FOR STUDYING in my opinion because its pretty quiet and not that crowded here. Theres also a few plugs/​outlets around the area and good lighting inside.
The barista was also very nice and outgoing, which made my visits a lot better.
Planning to return during lunch time to try their paninis and pastries!

A typical coffee shop. The place is comforting, relaxing, and has a cute design. The barista is welcoming and greeted me with a warm smile. The prices at the coffee shop wasn’t any different than anywhere else. I got a latte which was $ 3 and a Mediterranean panini that costs $ 5.95. The coffee was a little disappointing. My latte had a little bit too much foam and I had to dig through it to reach the espresso. I understand that lattes are made with steamed milk, but the one I had was too milky. There was a fly that kept bothering me in the shop, so I didn’t get to enjoy my time there and it ruined my experience a little. The saving grace was the Mediterranean panini. It is made of tomatoes, eggplant, pesto, fire roasted peppers and feta cheese. Bread was nicely toasted and the cheese was perfectly melted and binded everything together. Tomatoes and eggplant were cooked nicely and were full of flavor. It also complimented the pesto nicely. I would definitely recommend the paninis if you want something to go with your coffee. Sadly to say, the coffee should be the hero in a coffee shop, not a sandwich. I live near the place so I will give it another shot in the future. The place does need improvement in terms of quality of the coffee.

3 Stars With room for improvement. I live nearby and will give it another shot.
Cute atmosphere, stereotypical coffee joint.
The «baristas» didn’t really seem to know what they were doing. They just opened though so I guess it’s understandable…
I ordered a dark roast, and I’m not sure if she heard me she just repeated «medium coffee». The coffee itself was too acidic for my taste, but I’m no coffee expert.
The baked goodies were priced well, got a Madeline cookie for $ 0.85 :D.
I foresee this being a hang out type shop, good for groups, big tables, not really a go study by yourself place, but we shall see.

When I first heard about a coffee shop opening in Anderson Plaza, I was very excited. Finally, a coffee shop close to where I live and a cool study location! Walking in Coffee Shots the first time, I found the the interior to be cute and the baristas to be friendy… maybe a bit too friendly to the point of being intrusive. Seems promising, however, my hopes for this place went down the toilet when I tried the smoothie. Confused would be the word to describe it. Flavors were all over the place – not to mention that it was really sweet. I think I drank like, 10 percent of the smoothie until I threw it away because it was giving me a headache.
Maybe it was just the smoothie that’s bad, I thought. Perhaps the coffee would be better? Came here a second time, and boy was I wrong. Coffee was completely watered down; it was as if I was drinking coffee-​flavored water. The bitterness of the coffee water could not have been fixed either; no amount of sugar could save it. During that visit I also ordered chai, which like the smoothie, tasted confused. The spices were overpowering, and once again I ended up throwing the drink and $ 3 into the trash.
As a study location, this place disappointed me. Chairs were uncomfortable, and I found it difficult to concentrate because the hot, glaring Davis sun pierced my eyes through the window (even when you are facing against the window, it’s too bright inside). The barista made things worse. Appearing lonely when there are no customers around, the barista looked at my friend and I frequently from across the counter, adding to my discomfort. It was just unprofessional.
Considering Coffee Shots as your next study/​hangout location or go-​to coffee shop? Skip this place for now. Unless they learn to make decent drinks and to respect their privacy of their customers, they won’t survive for too long…

Cute ambience, pretty small. I live right by Anderson Plaza and was really excited when I saw this coffee shop opened.
Ordered an iced coffee but barista suggested something else (couldn’t understand what it was but agreed anyways) — whatever I ordered had spices in it which isn’t my thing. Don’t really like the drink but don’t really hate it (it was $ 3… :c) I’ll update this review the next time I try this place out again but for now it’s okay–
16 oz iced coffee (which is like a medium) is about $ 2-​$ 3 (what I was going to order. but didn’t. I want to say $ 2.60 but don’t quote me on that).

It was overall an average experience. I ordered a black iced coffee, and almond scone and a Funky Banana Frappé.
There was nothing particularly wrong with the black iced coffee or the scone other than the fact that it was average. Nothing really made it stand out and with such great alternatives like Pachamama I would rather make the extra drive for a great cup of coffee especially since the prices are comparable.
Let’s first start with the fact that they pride themselves on their website for offering fair trade organic coffee but I have no idea where the coffee is from or whether or what type of roast it is.
I would like to end this by stating that the funky banana frappé was something that I could not finish. It was just too sweet and tasted fake. How can you pride yourself on fair trade, organic coffee and then pump it full of syrup. I would think for 5 bucks I could at least get a real banana, organic or not…
There are so many alternatives in Davis but if you don’t have a car and live by the Savemart plaza just make the trek to Peet’s. You’ll thank me later.
