Not living or working in Ballantyne, I don't get by Rush often enough. But having been here a few times recently (twice in the last week alone!), I thought I should leave a glowing review.
Almond Chai Latte - get it! You won't be disappointed. I finally found another coffee shop that makes them exactly the way I like them.
I've been pleasantly surprised by the food options. The chef (can I call him that in a coffee house? I think he's earned the title) even stopped by my table to ask what I thought of the sundried tomato melt - I assured him it was delicious & proved it by ordering it the next time I visited.
For a local shop with stellar coffee & food, I think the prices are reasonable.
Parking at Ballantyne Village continues to be a hassle through no fault of the store owners. (Google the drama about the former BV owner who kept the parking lots & won't allow customers to park there... ) Rush has been busy, so I'm very happy to see customers supporting the stores there.
If you're uptown, check out their new location in Latta Arcade. I haven't been by yet, but hope to trek a few city blocks from my office soon. I'm sure it will be worth it.
