Heard pretty good things about this establishment but overall, I'm pretty disappointed. It was my first time here so I was just looking at the menu and trying to contact a friend who wanted me to grab some whole beans for them. The bald barista(I'm guessing he's the manager based on other reviews) was very rude and rushed me to order something while I was standing on the side checking out the menu. When I went up to order, I asked what he would recommend as it's my first time and when I asked for a non-sweet drink, he rudely said "just get a black coffee" After sitting here for a while, it's pretty clear that this guy doesn't care too much about the customers. As for the coffee, I ended up getting an iced americano and it's alright. It tastes a bit burnt and I've definitely had better at Peet's read more

I like this location as its on the lake. Good staff and great management. Everyone makes you feel like family when you are here. Some good inside and outdoor seating. The only issue that I have is a lot of people on the patio smoke so that can be an irritant if you are not okay with it. Good selection of coffee, tea, and pastries. They also have punch cards for frequent buyers. read more

As a traveler I always try to avoid big coffee house chains like Starbucks so I can experience different local flavor. Nothing wrong with Starbucks but I find it nice to support some of the other local businesses. Looking for an early morning fix I happen to come across Coffee Rush on my Yelp search. From the Yelp photos there seemed to be some outdoor seating with a view of a pond. Combine that with solid reviews I decided to give Coffee Rush a try. It was only 10am but it was already too warm for a hot drink so I decided to roll with an iced mint mocha. Value and taste wise the drink was good and went well with the fresh baklava. The employees/barristas were very friendly and offered me a punch card. I informed them that I was from out of town and they expressed their gratitude for trying Coffee Rush out. Overall a great experience at Coffee Rush. Good coffee, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, free wifi, and a friendly staff made this coffee stop a nice alternative to Starbucks. Definitely a great place for out of towners looking to try something a little more local. Thanks Coffee Rush! read more

I had a plan today- go to a highly rated coffee house and watch the sun rise... came across Coffee Rush and thought "Sunrise over the lake? Yes!" However, what I came to was a crapshoot. I arrived at 5:35am to what seemed promising. There was a greasy barista talking to a customer in the lobby. What I came to find later that it was a greasy barista who was smoking and drinking his own coffee but saw me park and ran inside. I got a latte with extra foam. There was no offer of for here ware (boo) and there was no latte art (double boo) and the foam was super bubbly (triple boo). My plan was to get 15 pastries to take to work. THe barista shook his head against it. They don't make themm there and they are all saran wrapped from the day before when they come in. (quadruple boo?) Greasy (who also had a ccent) took my payment (cash), gave me my change and then continued making my drink. No attempted hand washing or anything. Not even purell. I walked out to the lake to a bunch of dirty tables and left. Greasy came outside to grab his coffee and lighter because some other customers were coming. Ew to you Coffee Rush! read more

I used to really like this place because it has a casual, independent vibe, plus they have later evening hours when most other coffee shops are closed. The outdoor seating is nice. One thing I really dislike however, is their "seating for customers only" policy and the way their staff chooses to enforce it. I was in the shopping center dropping my daughter off at an appointment and had a work meeting scheduled for the same time. I decided to go get a coffee while I waited/worked. I was already on the call when I arrived (directly to the patio, not going through the indoor area). I was waiting for a moment where I wouldn't have to talk for a minute so I could go inside and order. I had not even been in my chair 2 min when an employee came over and said "uhm, I don't know if you saw the sign but to use our space you have to buy a drink". First, they don't have an obvious sign posted outside, it's near the front door. Second, I understand they don't want people camping out there and holding up seats for paying customers. However in this situation there were literally dozens of open tables and only like 5 other people in the shop. It felt excessive and unwelcoming and I will be taking my business elsewhere in the future. read more

Had coffee there several times when an old friend used to study there daily... I thought the coffee was average at best. You can get a decent milk-based coffee drink anywhere and they have no clue how to make espresso (almost one one does so this is no surprise). read more

This place had some glowing reviews from happy customers, so I decided to check it out. I was already buzzed on too much caffeine, so I didn't actually try their coffee (my bad), but I wanted to see if it was a good place to study, as some had claimed. I was a little disappointed. For one thing, the only truly comfortable seats where I would want to park my butt for a couple of hours are two vinyl seats (like restaurant booths) - but of course those were taken. There is a large patio area with many tables and chairs outside. I stayed away from this area because I didn't want to breathe in the cigarette smoke. The "beautiful view" you have read about is just a man made lake and the backside of some rather mundane apartment buildings. But I won't say anything snarky about it, because I can appreciate how living in the desert makes people long to be near water. It's better than staring at a parking lot, any way. My frozen chai drink seemed a bit weak, like sugar water with a hint of chai. I did appreciate that they had classic rock playing, and the vibe inside of the place was different from the hipster coffee places popping up all over the place (although, admittedly I do really like some of these places...) All in all I was just kind of underwhelmed by the place after reading so many people saying it was *THE BEST COFFEE PLACE EVER!!!* read more

The workers are so friendly and the drinks are always so so so great. They make my day so much better

This place be good at times Pro Service is great from the people behind the counter Good view of the pond Con: Smell of smoke on the patio Internet the slowest in the west Can be crowded at time on Saturday AM read more

I have frequented this place quite a few times, and its okay. The things I like about it are the late hours, "free" internet as long as you buy a drink and the indoor and outdoor seating. What I don't like is how they now regulate the internet. When you purchase a drink, they give you a reciept for only 3 hours worth of internet service. It's not that I personally need more then 3 hours of service at one time, but why regulate the Wifi? Maybe its to stop people from camping out and hogging up space or something, I'm not sure. The staff has always been nice to me, but I'm only there on average about once a month at best, and its usually to take advantage of thier late hours. read more

Best iced sugar free caramel nut latte ever. In love with the fact that this place is open until 11pm. Service is always lovely and this is my go to coffee spot when I'm in the area read more

Drink the iced chai tea. It's superb. Look out over the water from the patio. Get hooked up to the wifi. Free, with a purchase. Better than Starbucks. Support a local place. Relax. Let the baristas rush. We had cabin fever and needed a place with some energy. Coffee Rush was just the ticket. The drinks are good and there's lots of options. The staff is friendly and quick. People come and go, but many stay to hang out on the patio. Some are smokers. We came to use the wifi and hunker down on some projects. They'd prefer that you use cash for orders under $3.99. Wifi is doled out in 3 hour increments, by way of a unique login (one per person). The internet was like molasses at first but picked up speed once we got connected. It's a nice little establishment and I hope to revisit soon. read more

The baristas here are some of the friendliest people you'll meet and the coffee is fine. With that affirmation stated for balance, I'll now focus on the horrible WiFi. I have tried to work here on a couple occasions but am unable to get anything done as pages seem to load at dial up speed. This wouldn't be so bad if it were free, but it necessary to buy s drink to receive a log in for 2 hours of WiFi - this makes think the WiFi is something workable since you're paying for it. It's also obnoxious that they have a strict no outside food or drink policy. You're buddy gets lunch nearby and joins you on the patio as you drink your coffee - Nope, you're asked to leave (even if you buy a drink). If you can look past these things, coffee rush is great, and I say that without cynicism. As for me, I avoid it strongly unless I'm just looking for a coffee on the go. read more

You say your staff wears masks. This is not true and it's quite troublesome. Please reconsider this decision and please tell the truth on your Yelp profile. read more

Quaint little coffeehouse with a picturesque view of the lake in the Sprouts shopping plaza. There is plenty of outdoor and indoor seating here. They offer a plethora of drink options, and have quite a few sugar free flavors too for those that like flavored coffee. For milk alternatives, they offer soy milk. I had an iced strawberry mocha latte. The coffee itself was smooth, but for me the fruity, tangy flavor of the strawberry was a little weird contrasting with the slightly earthy tones of the chocolate and coffee. Service was good and our drinks were made in no time. Overall a good place for coffee. read more

So. As upset as i was to write this review the first time.. imagine how i feel having to write this review a SECOND time because whoever runs this yelp page asked yelp to remove my first review and yelp obliged!! Their email said "we deleted your review because there was not enough detail about your experience as a customer at coffee rush" REALLY?!?? As you can see i write a lot of reviews and my first review was VERY LONG AND DETAILED. You can delete my review a million times and i will keep rewriting it!!! But since they want kore details about me as a customer i will happy comply. The coffee is GOOD.. i always get a sugar free non fat iced caramel macchiato. The guy who works the morning shift is by far the nicest and realest barista there. HOWEVER the manager at this location the guy who is bald with tattoos (and as you will see in many other reviews under the not recommended tab) agree!! I travel to this location frequently when i am working at one of my locations literally a few doors down. And the other day i was on my lunch break and it was really nice out so i just went next door to coffee rush to eat my veggie wrap. The bigger blonde girl with glasses comes out and hands me a menu and says "the boss man wants me to hand you this." I was like ok... thanks.. And she goes "no he wants me to hand this to you because you need to purchase something in order to sit here." I literally was dumbfounded. Mind you, this girl knows that i work in the plaza she sees me all the time. I don't care if she was just the messenger.. why would you want to work for an establishment like that??? I said "so i can't sit here and eat my wrap for 5 minutes?" And the answer was no i needed to get moving. I will not spend my money here and neither will my co workers after they heard how i was treated. And we spent A LOT of money here a week. It's unfortunate I've heard the owners are really cool.. wonder why they would let this guy run their business like this. Horrible business tactic. The seats were EMPTY outside too. I'm sure this review really won't matter in the long scheme of things... but after i posted my initial review i had a few people reach out to me to say they same thing happened to them! I won't spend another dime here. read more

staff was really friendly. ordered a Blended caramel macchiato and it was really good. on the sweeter side but i would recommend. really nice outdoor seating read more

Coffee Rush - blended caramel macchiato - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Went here for the first time today for a study session with a couple classmates. This is my new favorite place! There is plenty of space and tables inside which is where we sat today. I noticed outside lots of tables set up and there's a beautiful view. They are reasonably priced and have a lot of flavors and options. I got a black and white cherry mocha frost and it was delicious!! It was pretty busy. There was a steady flow of customers the whole time I was there, but the employees were still very friendly and very efficient. Everything is spaced out appropriately as it should be with covid and they have markers in place to space out the line. If you need wifi they will give you a slip with login information that is good for 3 hours (I think that is totally reasonable so they don't end up with a crowd of people getting a water and hanging around all day slowing up all of the wifi). This is my new favorite place and I will be going here to study whenever I can from now on! read more

Hands down my favorite coffee shop, ever. I've been a regular at all three locations over the years and I still can't get enough of the atmosphere and their drinks. This particular location has a great patio on the water. There is smoking, but quite frankly (and I've never been a smoker so this isn't biased) it adds to the coffee shop environment if you ask me...Think Europe. They have a punch card system with double punch Mondays and free wifi with a purchase. Ask for the access at the register when you get your drink and it gets you 3 hours. Great caffeine free options if you don't do the extra rush. It's family owned and the brothers all work in the stores...support local business and great espresso my friends! read more

Coffee Rush - 32 oz iced black and white with soy. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

This is by far the best coffee shop in Arizona! I've never had a bad experience. The baristas are talented as well as charismatic! Kudos. You'll always be my go to for coffee /tea and chil l vibes read more

What the hell? Lol I'm pretentious as hell. Don't know what I was smoking while writing this. Interesting...

I've been here a couple of times and the one on Gilbert Rd. I thought the lay out of this one is very neat. it's right next to a lake where lots of people like to congregate, tables are provided outside. the only downside to the layout is the parking lot design. it gets cramped (see photo). i usually park outside the "cramped" area... try not to hit anything when trying to pull out of your spot. other than that i think the coffee is great!!! customer service is great and the people are friendly. good place to socialize and relax. one bad thing about their credit/debit card service is that you have to have a minimum of $3.99 in order for you to use your plastic. just keep that in mind when you want a 16oz vanilla latté. which came out to $3.62. read more

Been here many times and love the taste of the coffee. Recently had an hour between clients so I stopped by to get some work done. I can't drink coffee at 2:30pm if I want to sleep at night, so I just bought a protein bar. When I asked for the WiFi password, they said I couldn't have it because I didn't buy a drink. I find the rule to be very silly business decision and something other potential customers should be aware of. read more

Great staff. Barista has energy and personality for miles! First time in to sit and enjoy coffee. Tasted great. Chai tea and caramel latte! Yummy. Thank you for pick me ups! And smiles! read more

I was excited to try this place. The line was almost out the door when I arrived. I didn't wait in line long, the staff was friendly and they seemed to have a lot of regulars. I got the caramel macchiato frost, it was a little light, but I tried it anyway. There was almost no coffee in it. I guess I should have gone with my instincts and got it loaded for an extra .45cent. Because they were nice I'll give it another try, but I'll know what to do next time. read more

Love their drinks here. The ones I've had taste amazing, and with their sizing options, you definitely get the bang for your buck compared to big coffee chains. The baristas are also really friendly and welcoming. One of my favorite coffee shops! read more

Addicted, to put it simply. I stop by all the time but for some reason forget to check in. I've never visited a coffee joint more frequently than this spot. A loaded black and white frost is perfect for any day and is exactly what I need for that boost. Double stamp Monday's and my girlfriend working close by keep me coming in multiple times a week. read more

Love this coffee spot. Sitting by the lake is so wonderful and relaxing. The issue is that my iced latte tasted like just milk and the hot coffee was weak. What to do Beautiful picture walls. read more

i like to go here from time to time to study esepcially when the weather is nice but the customer service is horrendous. like any regular customer i paid for a drink and asked for two wifi slips, one for my laptop and one for my tablet, and i was being interrogated on the spot by an employee. he asked me why i needed two wifi slips, what i was going to do on the wifi, and how long i was intending to stay. i don't know why the f*** he would ask those things, it's not any of his business?! then he proceeded to tell me i needed to buy two drinks to get two wifi slips and by that time i was over it. tl;dr: don't waste your time here, go to starbucks. read more

This was my first time coming to this coffee shop and I asked the girl if I could have something most popular and she recommended the Guatemala latte and I also got my nephew a hot chocolate that wasn't even hot and taste like powder. I asked the girl if she could fix it and make it sweeter and she told me no that I could add some sugar over the counter so I said okay. That was really rude of her because she didn't even try to fix the issue and so my nephew wanted to changed it and I asked her if she could and she said they don't do refunds and she was going to make me a lemonade and wanted to charge me for it and I thought I was going to exchange it and my nephew had already thrown away the hot chocolate and we left without any drink after all. This is so unprofessional, I would not come here again. I'm so disappointed I didn't know that how you take care of a customer. read more

Absolutely delicious coffee! We had an iced tiramisu mocha and it was delightful. The lattes are not too sweet or syrupy. Great flavor and amazing balance! There's a beautiful patio to sit and enjoy your coffee. Staff was beyond helpful and friendly--wish we lived closer to enjoy this more often! Pro tip, get coffee and get a pedicure next door. Perfect self care day! read more

Today I found a seat intending to set up my things and study. I ended up leaving after 2 minutes and didn't even get a chance to order a drink. I brought my personal cup of warm lemon and honey for aid a cold. I was meeting someone to study here and about to get drinks but an employee comes to let me know outside drinks are not welcome. I get it. I don't want to me watched and feel unwelcome. Save the speech dude. I'm not dropping my money here with that vibe. I've been a happy supporter of coffee rush for years. I'll find another local spot. Thanks for the memories read more

This has become my default coffee shop because of proximity to my home, but also the nearby artificial lake that provides an escape factor from the summer heat. For some reason, looking out over water relaxes me. I also really like the coffee and so I brought a friend here who was visiting Phoenix from California. This is when I realized that customer service at this shop was top notch. My buddy inadvertantly spilled half of his iced chai latte while struggling with the lid at the sugar/stir station. Not only did an employee jump to the situation and sponge up the mess, but found us at a table outside and brought a free replacement drink! We made a point of adding to the tip jar when we left. I have to add that their pecan baklava is heavenly, when the impulse grabs you. read more

I love going to Coffee Rush, especially for the flavored iced tea. They have many different syrups to offer & you can mix a couple (as desired) to sweeten the tea. My favorite is the raspberry mango. Additionally, the frosts are really tasty, and it makes it that much better that all the drinks are well priced. I also like that the store is right by the lake ... Makes for the perfect place to grab a coffee with a friend or go out on a date. read more

Luv this place, great location, great coffee and phenomenal outside view, right by the lake. read more

Coffee Rush - Great relaxing view - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I love this place and would frequent it very often a while ago. Coffee Rush is set on a lake and it is beautiful! You can sit on the patio and enjoy your coffee, talk with friends and do homework. People bring their dogs all the time. I believe it is family owned and they have another shop in Gilbert. I always get the black and white frost. It's not actually coffee, but it sure is yummy! Sip this on a warm afternoon on the patio with a friend. It is always a perfect combination. They also sell desserts such as baklava. Baklava is a pastry like dessert with a flaky crust and layers of sweetness. It pairs well with coffee. I believe pistachios are on top. Warning: don't wear your swimsuit under a cover up here. They will come out and yell at you for it and kick you out. This happened to me a while ago LOL. Not the friendliest time I had with the employees here, but generally they're nice. read more

Pro: i like to study late so this place is a great study spot since it opens till 11pm. It does occasionally get loud but i find it bearable if you have headphones on. Cons: there's a weird coffee dewy( moldy? ) smell to the place. Every time I go, the smell gets into my hair and clothes- not pleasant. I wished they had more ventilation to make the air better. read more

5-star customer service but the smokers outside are a bit much. Wanted to enjoy this beautiful day and couldn't so, unfortunately, won't be coming back here again, which is a bummer. read more
