The City of Davis in California has made no secret that they have a moratorium on growth. There is a reason why Richards Blvd. is only 2 lanes that is their way of keeping strangers out. The laws are very explicit no smoking in their City. There was even a case that went to court over someone snoring to loudly.
greenbelts, a Downtown corner with a statue of 2 joggers, sidewalk cafes, bakeries, bookstores, theaters and art galleries gives the ambiance of the outdoor life and high energy of its residents. - Sophia’s Tai Food on E Street – Pamela Porter, a local Davis resident says “it’s amazing, affordable and has outdoor seating.”
- Peet’s Coffee – just opened in May on E Street and “everyone” goes there
- Mishka’s – 2nd Street has more than just coffee and loads of electric outlets to catch up on your email while enjoying some baked goods, salad, sandwiches and of course, coffee
- Austrian Bakery on 5th Konditorei-don’t miss it, the building is BIG and yellow–Best Pastries and they have my favorite GELATO
- Colette, for French food on 2nd Street

One of my Favorite Hidden Neighborhoods in DAVIS, CA
I must say that one of my favorite areas in Davis is located at College Park and Howard Way. This is a neighorbood that was considered to be out in the boonies when the University of Davis first opened its’ doors. A Professor by the name of Howard decided to have homes built for the other professors at the University of Davis in this area. Professor Howard named the street College Park and in honor of Professor Howard, Davis named the cross street after the Professor.
There are only a handful of homes on this street and each one is a house of character with a history.

I am a Davis graduate.. Biotech major. This city pulls you in and won’t let you out. It was very tough saying good bye to the homey Davis after 3 years. I biked every where, picked fresh almonds on campus and from the village, swam in the “on top of hill” pool on La Rue which gives you a panoramic view of the streets around it, jogged around lake blvd’s pond and on Richards, made many friends and stuided hard. I still go visit this wonderful town and reminise with friends.. It feels like home like no where else on earth.. the welcoming Davis. Go Aggies!

I read the article on Davis and it is great but the three zip codes Davis has is 95616, 95617 & 95618. 95620 zip code belongs to Dixon and I am saying this is because I live in Dixon. If you were to send mail to Davis with the zip code 95620, your mail will come back to you as undeliverable.
Just wanted to let you know.
Estella, you are absolutely right. Thanks for finding my error and letting me know. I will make the correction. I appreciate it!
