| - I've been here twice in the last week because I was impressed with it, and plan on coming back many times in the future. The entire place is open, spacious, and clean clean clean, which I appreciate. It's a funky combination of tiki-hut-esque and coffee-chic, depending on where you go in the cafe, and the back wall is covered with high quality family photos. The outside patio is BEAUTIFUL; plenty of running fountains, lots of seating, comfortable chairs, and umbrellas and canopies for us shade-lovers. I just LOVED the patio. Arnie, the main barista, is an uber-friendly and memorable man. He works swiftly and carefully and has great personalized recommendations for his customers. I ordered my drink in a rush (get it? Coffee Rush? Sorry...) with a line building up behind me, and Arnie (as the only barista) got the drink ordered and made within literally 60 seconds, including check out. It was darn impressive.
The drinks are great quality. Not too sugary, rich coffee flavor, no skimping on the espresso, and best of all, very, very reasonably priced. Where I would pay $7 at Starbucks for a frap type drink made with 2 extra shots and extra milk, I paid about $4 here. Coffee Rush understands a fundamental business concept: Whatever you do in your business, DO IT WELL. Since their primary business is coffee, they have spared no expense in serving a quality, delicious product.
They do clearly state everywhere in the cafe "No outside drinks allowed," which I think is completely fair. When your business is run on doing one beverage excellently, you ask that the ambience and spirit of that business be respected on the premises. I can't wait to go back next week.
