Ali Baba
The cult breakfast burrito, served all day.
Can I work from here? Not really — it's a quick, order-at-the-kiosk counter spot, not a linger-and-work place.
Bring kids? Works fine. Casual and fast, with something for everyone.
Under $20? Student-easy. A Davis go-to precisely because it's cheap, fast, and filling.
Ali Baba is a casual Mediterranean spot near campus, famous for a breakfast burrito served all day. They cook the burritos in bulk so they're ready the moment you order — or they'll make you a fresh, customized one in about ten minutes.
Beyond the burrito it's full Middle Eastern fare — shawarma, kebabs, falafel, hummus — with deep vegetarian and vegan options, all at prices built for a student budget.
The breakfast burrito is the cult order — eggs, bacon, beef gyro, fries, Tapatio, and a divisive drizzle of honey (plenty of regulars ask for it without). Order at the iPad kiosk, and watch for the weekly specials — fesenjon shows up on Fridays.
Daily 8 AM – 9 PM
