Nugget Markets

My favorite grocery store in Davis.
Great selection, though I wish there was a bit more organic produce. Love the bakery, juice/​coffee counter, deli/​prepared foods, etc.
Staff are super helpful and friendly. Displays are aesthetically pleasing. Parking is easy.

Excellent place to shop at. Reasonable prices and tons of great products.

Expensive but high quality food. Super clean and the juice bar is amazing and super fresh. I have never had a problem with anything I have purchased here or with anyone who works here.

Nugget Market is an ultra high quality supermarket. I love the fact they have great, fresh
organic produce and many microwaveable Vegan and healthy options.
They have all the usual junk people poison themselves with everyday
in terms of processed foods, meat, and junk. That’s big aggie for you.
HOWEVER, while they are the most convenient store to me, their prices are VERY HIGH!
That is what lowered their ratings from 5 to a 4.
I often find the exact same products at Grocery Outlet for close to ½ the price.
The COOP also offers top quality foods, their prices are a little better and more healthy stuff.

I didn’t have much of a chance to come here when I was actually in college because I didn’t have a car and didn’t feel like biking across town just to get groceries… but! When I was with friends with cars, I loved checking this place out!
SO MANY DELICIOUS THINGS!
The acai bowls look fantastic (although somewhat pricey) – I like their Davis-​themed names! :P
They have all kinds of delicious foods here! :] My friends are big fans of the cookies, and I am all about their pumpkin pie milkshakes, which are apparently seasonal after all (I’d heard from someone that you could technically order it year-​round, but alas!). They have a peppermint one in December that I haven’t had a chance to try yet.
Their produce looks amaaaaazing, and service is very friendly and helpful. :]! Shopping for food is my favorite type of shopping, so I love browsing through here!

BLT, sourdough sliced, add avacado, cold bacon and no toasting. Forget about it! So yummy!
Service is always great. Love the bakery and the triple g smoothie (when I’m not eating blt’s)…

The is one of the most gorgeous and diverse grocery stores I’ve ever been to. I love the variety of healthy foods, hot foods, groceries, etc. Their fresh bread is also decently priced, but the rest of the store is more expensive than I can afford on a normal day.
These are the best acai bowls in Davis hands down, and I LOVE the hemp granola they use. It’s so much better than the whole foods one, but also a dollar or two pricier.

Their greatest hits include their Salmon ABLT sandwich from the deli, their Genovese pesto, their brioche rolls, their Strawberry Delight cake in the bakery. All sooooo good!

I’m a fan of this store as a treat to myself. The items here seem to be ramped up a tad in terms of quality and unfortunately the prices change accordingly. Thus, it’s a treat. From the looks of it, I treat myself fairly often. Is that really so bad?
Produce looks like an advertisement picture. Regularly. That’s fairly awesome.
Beer selection is almost out of a specialty beer shop. Regularly. Awesome as well.
Thanks for the treats, Nugget!

I really like this place. The cheese selection is great, as is the hot bar. I love the prepared picnic foods, and it’s excellent to get the hot grilled croissant sandwich here for breakfast (bacon and ham are both good). The coffee is great, and the produce is fantastic. We often buy whatever is on sale, because the one downside of the the Nugget is that it is expensive– but it’s also quality. Service has always been good, and I’ve been pleased with the sell by dates on my items– they’ve all been pretty fresh.
Nugget has some unique items you won’t find anywhere else. I shop at a lot of specialty grocers, and I think the Nugget is one of the best. I wish we had one in my town, but I have to be content to shop here when I visit my daughter in Davis.

Nice hipster grocery /​eatery in Davis. Lots of people getting lunch from the ready to eat area and deli. There is a nice outside eating area. Produce department is big and has a great selection.

I wish we had one of these in my hometown.
The Nugget is the BEST grocery store you could ever go to; it has a wide array of healthy foods and of course generic foods as well. It has a diverse option of things to choose from, from their grocery selections, to their amazing sandwich deli.
They make such a good ham croissant sandwich. It is highly recommended. They also have a bacon option available as well. Also, if you get the chance, try their milkshakes. Mango Madness and Strawberry Vanilla are by far the most amazing things I have ever had.
My only qualm is how expensive it is. Which is probably a good thing. I’d be here everyday if it wasn’t, especially because it’s a decent walking distance from where I am.

Why did I not discover Nugget earlier?!
–AMAZING sandwiches at the deli! The quality of meat is incredibly fresh and they have a lot of different options for veggies! It’s a bit pricey at $ 7-​$ 8 but there’s BOGO coupon on the Campus Specials App which makes a sandwich ~$ 4!
–Freshly made smoothies and yummy (but pricey) acai bowls. I like the acai bowls but I only buy it on VERY special occasions.
–Great customer service.
–Good selection of coffee beans
–Free samples on Saturday!
A goood thing about not discovering Nugget sooner is that it is incredibly expensive (even more so than Whole Foods). However, its great to discover new food

Acai bowls and egg salad!!! I know it’s a random pair but it’s my two favorite things to get at Nugget.
I wish I knew Nugget sold acai bowls before my last few months in Davis. The berry acai bowl is amazing! I usually get it without the dark chocolate drizzle since I feel like the dark chocolate swirls are enough for me! These bowls are a bit on the expensive side. Around $ 9 – 10 per bowl but they’re so worth it if you’re in the mood to splurge a little (or if its a hot day and you want to try to be semi healthy).
Egg salad… One of my favorite things of all time. Yes I know I’m weird but I love eggs and if you don’t like eggs then maybe you’re the weird one: P I love the egg salad here because they don’t add a bunch of other things like celery/​pickled stuff/​etc. in it. Buy a box of crackers, go home, dip, and enjoy! It’ll be all gone before you know it.

One of my favorite places to get desserts, eye shop, and drag the bf when I’m bored!
Staff is always friendly, and there’s always special promo items every week!
Came here on a Saturday, and bakery provides free samples of the fresh breads or desserts!
Omg Ettores cakes are the bomb! I love the princess cake and the coffee one. They also sell smoothies and acai bowls!
Their sandwiches are good too — hefty, tasty, and good quality! Try out their salmon sand which!
Always has fresh seafood, produce, bread, cheese, and basically everything.
Come to the Bay Area my Nugget!

Long live my undergrad days in beautiful Davis, CA!
Out of all the places in Davis, Nugget Market is the place I miss the most. I will admit that I rarely purchased groceries at Nugget during my undergrad, why? I was a poor college student and groceries are not cheap here. I mostly stuck to Trader Joes for groceries, but always went to Nugget for prepared food items.
Deli: My favorite part of the entire store. I have their number on speed dial, I’m not even kidding. I used to eat a Nugget sandwich every week and finally decided I needed to stop, because those $ 9.00 started adding up. Firecracker is number one in my eyes, followed by the slightly healthier Salmon ABLT (I pass on the bacon). Every ingredient in the sandwich tastes extremely fresh and whoever comes up with these sandwiches is a genius, because all of their sandwiches are perfectly balanced in taste.
Juice Bar: Second favorite part. I start at the deli and then move over to order my juice and pay for everything while I’m at it. The juices are pricy, yes, but very fresh. I tried a few of the green drinks at Whole Foods, but Nugget just does it so much better. Triple G is my go-​to and I always ask them to add ginger to keep my GI system in line. They’ve never charged me extra for adding ginger. If you’ve never had a green drink before and you’re scared it’s going to taste like grass, you should order the Triple G. It will change your opinion about green drinks and possibly your life. They have acai bowls now. I haven’t had a bowl from Nugget, but last time I checked, there was no other place in town that offered acai bowls.
Bakery: Always fresh, always smelling amazing. From macaroons to plain french bread, everything is always warm and fresh.
Produce: I love the wide selection of organic/​local produce that Nugget carries. I’ve been able to find rare fruit items (starfruit, dragon fruit), that I haven’t been able to find at any other grocery store in Davis.
Alcohol: Tons of local craft beers and a wide selection of wine, for all you wine connoisseurs.
Frozen Foods: Okay, this is honestly just about ICE CREAM. Other than Whole Foods, Nugget carries such a wide selection of ice cream treats. This makes me happy, because I’m lactose intolerant and they carry a lot of soy/​vegan/​dairy-​free ice cream treats. Thank you, Nugget!
Overall, it’s expensive, especially if you’re a student. But if you’re looking for somewhere to get lunch or dinner, Nugget is a wonderful option.

This is the nicest Nugget in the area, starting from the giant statues on the exterior to a very clean appearance inside. Very bright and ultra polished, when shopping here there is no mistaking Nugget is few steps above any other grocery store we have around.
Obviously, this is no bargain shopping. The prices for everyday items are higher than at Safeway or Raley’s, but when an item is on sale it can be comparable or even lower. I frequently come here for three things: fresh bread, deli, and beer. Deli is awesome and the employees go out of their way to make sure the charcuterie is sliced exactly to my liking. This nugget is one of the few places where they carry Jamon Serrano. Their bakery offers a variety of breads and pastries, most of them European style. I almost always get the seeded EPI when I can find it. It is like a dozen small rolls connected on a asymmetrical loaf, perfect for snacks and small sandwiches.
Their beer is 95% refrigerated and Mike, the guy in charge of wine/​beer, surely knows his stuff and what to order. Not only they carry a lot of stuff you can’t find around, even at specialty stores, the emphasis is on local breweries. From time to time they get Russian River stuff but it is gone before you know it so act quick. The selection is so good that I buy 90% of my bottled beer here now and stopped going to BevMo completely.
If there is a downside to shopping at Nugget is that it’s hard to leave without spending some serious cash. Also, the vegetable/​fruit isle is a little tight and makes it hard to get through when carts are around. It’s hard to hold anything against them tho as the selection and the overall looks, on top of a superb customer service makes this Nugget location the best grocery store in Yolo/​Solano County. Cannot recommend enough.

Coffee/​Smoothie Bar: CLOSES at 8PM
5 stars mainly because of the customer service and quality of food!
Shoutout to Jorge M. at coffee/​smoothie bar who came clutch for my friend and me! They were closed at 8PM and we had gotten there at 8:01PM. He was kind of enough to let us purchase two Classic Acai bowls :)
– Classic Acai Bowl ($ 7.95) –
Acai (pronounced «ahhh-​psy-​eeeee») blended into a thick smoothie, topped with granola, banana slices and drizzled with honey.
— I admit this is quite pricey for an Acai bowl, but the acai is relatively potent in flavor. I use to work at a smoothie spot that made Acai bowls and let me tell you… Nugget does not skimp on the acai juice: D!
— Thick consistency. Beautifully portioned slicing of the banana, which I appreciate because it shows he did not rush making this order for us (trust me, I use to work with others who make these parfait/​bowls).
Wonderful customer service and quality. It’s not difficult to make yourself, but if you ever want to treat yourself, Nugget’s acai bowls aren’t too shabby.

This is strictly a review of the coffee/​smoothie bar.
I got the saddest attempt at an acai bowl today. Let me break it down… watery, covered I mean DRENCHED in honey and $ 7.95.
Step it up Nugget, terrible acai. Can’t believe I paid for it! Rather get them from whole foods!

Nugget is pretty much like Whole Foods, but with fancier and bigger variety of cooked foods. And in my opinion I think a bit pricey than Whole Foods.
Many things that can be found in Safeway or Savemart will most likely be overpriced here. I only shop at markets like these for hard-​to-​find or small brand items that aren’t sold in large chained supermarkets or if I want higher quality dessert that Safeway does not offer.
I came here with a couple friends yesterday craving some desserts — cake to be specific. We could not decide between the red velvet and German Chocolate so we bought both. The German Chocolate one was pretty good, but the red velvet was such a disappointment, especially since we bought the last one assuming it was a popular pick. They used vanilla frosting (which tasted artifical) instead of cream cheese which made it a red cake with vanilla frosting not red velvet cake. Would not get anything red velvet the next time I come back for dessert. But other than that I’ve also tried their Kailua (coffee) cake which was amazing and their Oreo cookies and cream cake was pretty good too.
