I was drawn in by their parfait half and half, which combines Italian ice with frozen custard. I really appreciate this creative twist on dessert and loved the extensive menu of possible combinations! Although there was a long line, the service was surprisingly quick, and they generously offer two free samples. I tried the chocolate ice, which convinced me to go for the chocolate macaroon parfait made with chocolate ice, coconut cream ice, chocolate custard, and chocolate sauce. My partner opted for the frozen banana parfait, featuring banana ice, chocolate custard, and chocolate sauce. We couldn’t have been happier! Both desserts were beautifully presented and had a light yet satisfying taste. We found a high-top table inside since all the regular tables were taken. Sweet and Shavery seems to be a favorite among students, and I’m thrilled to have discovered what I consider the best dessert spot in Davis!

I had an intense desire for crepes, so I chose the strawberries and cream option. They also provide an extensive list of additional combinations, along with the chance to create your own custom crepe. I thoroughly enjoyed my crepes—they were warm, fresh, and truly satisfying!

My daughter chose the lychee, and that was great as well. The mango was a little too sweet for my taste. I found the soft serve on top to be a bit excessive; next time, I think we’ll just go with the Italian ice on its own. Oh, and my friend ordered the mangonada, which was outstanding! I wish I had noticed it before placing my order!

The service was excellent, and I had a delightful conversation with the owner. The smaller cup sizes were just right—perfect for two adults and three kids to enjoy.

When we arrived, it was quite busy, but the service was prompt. I ordered the strawberry Nutella crepe with whipped cream, and it was absolutely delicious. The strawberries were sweet, and the edges of the crepe had a nice crispiness to them—each bite was delightful. Everything came together perfectly, truly capturing what I had been missing when enjoying crepes.
