Crema's Take
“Silo Market is a campus-adjacent café that trades on UC Davis aesthetics more than coffee quality—it's clean, photogenic, and convenient for students, but based on a small sample of 16 reviews (too few to be fully reliable), customers consistently complain about weak execution on specialty drinks like matcha boba and high prices for modest food. The reviews are scattered and thin, ranging from genuine appreciation for the study space to disappointment with core offerings, which makes it hard to know what you'd actually get on any given visit. If you're in the area and need wifi and a quiet spot, it works; if you're specifically seeking good coffee or matcha, look elsewhere first.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A laptop-friendly spot, quick-grab. Light food on the menu.

See all on Google →Silo Market is one of the props UC Davis likes to point to as evidence of how “good” the university supposedly is. It’s clean, curated, and campus-friendly—the kind of place that photographs well for tours and marketing. But like much of UC Davis, it functions more as a symbol…
Their matcha boba was probably the worst boba I’ve had, didn’t taste like matcha at all and was light brown color.. don’t recommend. Prices for the snacks are high. Giving 2 stars just because their sushi is at least good.
I went in to get a drink and use the bathroom but I actually ate at a good food truck. It's pretty crazy to see how the silo has changed since 1999 when I first started working at UCD.
Its a tiny slice of heaven for those that study and/or work near the silo. The veggie sushi was delicious! I will be returning.
