A coffee house gem! Several years ago, I met one of my good friends and he introduced me to CR. This was a typical place he would hang out and mingle with his friends, because literally everyone on this side of the Valley hung out here. Since time has passed I have continued to frequent (not as often as I used to, sadly) at coffee rush, sometimes staying there with friends and other times just stopping in for a quick cup'o'joe. The outside patio is probably my favorite place to hang out, especially when it's not the dead of summer in this oven of a state that we call home. The staff is friendly and are always joking around. I've never had a bad experience at this CR location. And it will probably continue to be a place that I visit. I love when coffee shops are independently owned and are still as busy, if not busier, than the corporate big wigs like Starbucks. And you definitely get that vibe at CR. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! Cheap and delicious coffee. The staff is amazing. There is no more to say. I'd rather pay 3 bucks for a phenomenal 16 oz cup of coffee and have a nice conversation with the staff, than pay 12 bucks for a mediocre cup of coffee and get shoved out of the way at Starbucks. The staff here is amazing. If the coffee sucked, I'd come back just for them. They are real! Real people trying to make your morning better. I get a Dirty Chai, hot, 16oz for ~$3.60. I will not taint this masterpiece by adding sugar or cream. Always made in a timely manner and served with a smile. They make me laugh and get me ready to face my long day ahead. Btw I started going here a couple weeks ago. I haven't even gone there that long and this is what I see everyday that I go back. Do you like real coffee and real people? Do you want to get EXACTLY what you paid for? Go to Coffee Rush. read more

Times like this genuinely make me wish there was a zero stars option. I just now had the absolute worst experience I've ever had any coffee or food service establishment and it was at this Coffee Rush. Specifically a horrific, petulant person who calls herself a manager. I went in with my girlfriend on Sunday, October 10th around 1:40 PM (15 minutes ago at time of writing). Working the counter were two employees I've never seen there before. One male with long hair, and one girl with dark hair and somewhat darker skin. I'm sad to say I did not get her name, but she was the only female working this shift when I went in. She called herself the manager on duty. My girlfriend ordered her drink, and instead of asking us what else we wanted there was a pause. The male employee then finally asked what else we wanted, and I told him I wanted my flavor of drink with an extra flavor, blended, loaded (2 extra espresso shots). He very quickly told the female employee/manager who was making the drinks "tiramisu frost!" Without any extra details. I even spoke up and said "loaded!" But was not heard, evidently. When we received our drinks, mine looked and tasted like nothing but sweetened milk. No espresso, no flavoring. So I went back in, expecting to have a straightforward and kind interaction and a remake of my drink. Instead, when I got to the counter and explained that I wanted a remake and began to explain why, the female employee cut me off in the middle of speaking and said "okay let's not go for his throat". I hadn't said anything aggressively, I genuinely was trying to take the time to explain what went wrong with my visit. This irritated me, so I asked that she not get an attitude and tried to say "I wasn't coming for anybody" but she absolutely would not let me speak. At all. After a few minutes of this I became exasperated, asked for the number to a manager, got met with "I AM the manager on duty!" and I took a business card and said I just wanted my drink. She took even more offense and said "and we're MAKING IT." I got the second drink, and she clearly was so focused on being mad at me that she, again, put next to zero flavor in my coffee. Only espresso. She then began apologizing to customers behind me as if I was the bad guy. This is the worst experience I've ever had in a place that serves coffee, food, really anything. This "manager" is a terrible excuse for what she calls herself, and a horrible representation of the Coffee Rush brand. If this is how they allow their managers to behave, I will never be patronizing them again at any location. And I will still be calling the actual manager. (She tried deterring me by saying I wouldn't be able to get through to anybody.) Just a god-awful experience all around. read more

Really good coffee, but the smoke filled patio really kills the potential. Apparently the smokers spend enough to keep it in business, because myself and my non-smoking friends won't be back. Sorry. Tldr; get it to go unless you like 2nd hand smoke. read more

Absolutely appalled by the way a group of my friends were treated here. Only about half the group ordered drinks so they were essentially asked to leave. They were only there because my wife and I recommended it, since it has been our go-to spot for meeting with friends since we discovered it. Now I am utterly embarrassed that I set them up to be disrespected like that. I hope your behavior about not getting $9 more in drinks last night is worth the lifetime of lost business from my family and anyone else I can convince not to waste their time on you anymore. read more

I've been hooked on Coffee Rush coffee drinks ever since discovering their Chandler location years ago. That still is my default coffee shop, however, on the occasion when I am on this north side of Gilbert, I caffeinate here. The offerings are identical and familiar, my loyalty punch card is honored, and occasionally I'll run into Stefano, my favorite bartender (they say bartender here, not barista) who used to work at the Chandler shop. My favorite thing about the coffee here is that it is strong enough to taste in a latte or a loaded frost, and they have a good selection of sugar-free syrups. I do like the larger size of this Coffee Rush's interior, and the exterior patio is cool--with the fountain and the sound of running water. But I still have a soft spot in my heart for the lakeside seating at the Chandler venue (it must be the presence of ducks). When I shop down the road at Kohl's, I'll drop in here. Or if I dare to get my back waxed across the street at Knockouts--this will be my side trip. Whatever you do, don't overlook Coffee Rush on this side of the East Valley. Life's too short to settle for Starbucks. read more

The Only gripe I have is the WiFi sucks here. They give you a 3 hour ticket but don't expect much. So this place is a treat if I am in east valley. Lots of seating and you have a shot at a electrical plug! It is clean and temp felt good. I hate places that make you shiver from the AC. There is a nice patio too. The drinks are perfect. I asked how many shots of espresso in a 32 ounce iced drinks he said by default 4!!! I feel that is more than fair and he mentioned he can do whatever I want. The guy there was alone. But he multi tasked and got the drinks out fast. I worked in a shop years ago and I know often speed means skipping or missing steps. He nailed it. The plaza is a little hard to get into and parking a tad tight but this place deserves your visit! read more

Coffee Rush - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I really want to find an awesome coffee house to call my own, but I don't think this is it. The tables and chairs are spartan and uncomfortable. The room is dark (although the patio looks quite nice). The Internet was spotty, and it took a long time to load something as simple as Gmail. They are very strict about no outside drinks, and would not allow my friend to have a Jamba Juice cup in the facility. But yay, the drinks are cheap, and I was able to get an Ameriano for less than $2. Can't beat that. So, this is a place I will quickly stop by if I need a drink, but I can't say I would ever spend much time there. read more

Loaded Tiramisu Mocha Frost...need I say more? First time visiting this coffee establishment. Starting with service - the gentleman behind the counter is one of the best multi-taskers I have ever seen! He was alone behind the counter, making multiple drinks at the same time, took the time to issue a warm greeting to everyone that walked through the doors, knew almost everyone by name and made it a point to ask them about their day. The prices were pretty equivalent to every other coffee stop i've been to, but the friendly atmosphere here will keep me coming back. read more

The drinks are really great here: the chai and mocha are my favorite, but they have quality coffee too. There's a big outdoor area that's usually occupied by smokers and sun bathers, and an equally large inside area for people that prefer to be surrounded by walls. They used to have free wifi, but now you have to get a code for the wifi when you get a drink beceause people were stealing the internet. Its still a great study spot, that's open late for people getting your late night study on. read more

Tons of coffee options, which are a bit confusing, but it's delicious and there's a ton of space. read more

Coffee Rush - One of the fountains on the patio. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Been coming here since I was 19 years old, I am now 38. They have excellent service, delicious beverages, and a very nice atmosphere all around. Did I mention they have three locations! read more

I decided to check this place out today for a change of scenery from the Starbucks I usually frequent. Hoping for a nice change, I received a slap in the face. The staff was fake-y nice, and rude-ish at the same time. There were 2 guys behind the register/bar both talking to me at the same time which was a little unnerving as I was there to relax and all it did was stress me out. I was trying to ask questions and was being constantly interrupted and cut off. I did manage to at one point tell them I had not been there before. The guy at the register gave me crap for wanting to use my debit card because I purchased under $5 and did not have cash on me. He explained that the coffee shop gets charged 70 cents for each transaction so they have a $3.99 limit for using a debit card. Although this "one time only" he would run my card. I don't see why he needed to explain that to me. It is not my business what the credit card company charges them per swipe. Why don't they just have a sign, $3.99 and under - Cash Only Please. That would be more effective and also more professional. It would allow the customer to ASK why instead of having a forced guilt trip. Both people behind the counter were very rude. The only thing good was the coffee. I got an Americano with half and half (they don't carry heavy cream), with a shot of hazelnut. Not too bad. The seating area I was in smelled like old pee. It was awful. Seriously it almost was burning my eyes. I ended up moving and the smell followed me..... I actually had to spray myself with perfume while sitting there just to distract myself from the stench before I just decided to leave. I looked around and everyone around me was very clean cut so I know it was not them. I almost left because of the smell alone. it could have been a coincidence, but I was still not happy about it. Also, the smell of Pine Sol was a little heavy. Back to Starbucks I go...... Shame for them, I practically LIVE at Starbucks and spend a lot of money there and was looking for a new spot to hang out and to work...... read more

I really like Coffee Rush. They have a really clean interior and lots of syrups (Torani brand) to choose from when getting drinks! The menu is quite lengthy, so check it over if it's your first time there. Take your time -- there's lots to choose from. The baristas are seriously kind and helpful too, which is really nice if you're having trouble deciding on what to order. Coffee Rush is usually well-staffed with awesome people, and they're talented at remembering the regulars and their drinks. I've only been a few times and they remember my almond milk coconut chai. They do have coconut milk too I believe for nut-free folks. They have a good selection of teas too. This is 4 stars instead of 5, because the wifi expires after 3 hours. They give you a code on a second receipt to log into the wifi network. Sometimes I just don't want to get up in the middle of work to get a new code. And sometimes I'm in the middle of a Skype call and it'll kick off without warning because I've lost track of time. If you're only grabbing coffee or just going for a little bit, (or don't mind a new code every 3 hours), I say go there now! They're open late which is awesome for night owls too! read more

They make a yummy chilled chai latte!!! AZ summer heat can be bad.......they have a nice patio area with misters & sun shades or if outside is to hot, their inside is nice to. The bathroom was gross, so I would avoid using it if you can. Good service. If you are using a card to pay, must spend $3.99 or more to use it. They have free wi-fi. read more

I drove by this coffee place for weeks, and I finally decided to go there one night to finish up some work on my lap top accompanied by a cup of coffee. I have mixed feelings about this place. Yes, it's not a huge chain like Starbucks, and the staff are super friendly... but I felt kind of out of place. I walked in in jeans and a t-shirt, my hair just in a pony tail, and as I looked around at the other patrons and the staff, I felt immediately as if I should have done my hair and put on a trendy shirt. This is a great place for younger folks and the college crowd, as that is the majority of the customers demographic. It seems like they would have been more welcoming, but I guess the atmosphere is different here. (For example, places like this in Minneapolis, where I'm from, are welcoming of everyone). The coffee, however, is fantastic, and I would take it over Starbucks any day. I was disappointed to find that the internet requires a passcode (that you can acquire from the barista) and has a two hour limit. Bummer! At the time I visited this cafe, I didn't have internet at home, and had to to the vast majority of my work at coffee shops with internet access. I would stay in coffee shops upwards of 6 hours sometimes. Going to get a new access code is tedious and unwelcoming. The patio is super awesome, and a cool place to hang out with a group of friends. It has a nice vibe and the lighting is nice, but it almost seemed a little too narrow minded for me. read more

My husband and I moved to AZ from Seattle so we are pretty much always on the hunt for a good cup of coffee. Coffee Rush is the best spot we've found in the east valley. My husband's go to is the americano, and mine is the caramel macchiato...their chai is also amazing when I don't want the full caffeine rush. The fresh baklava is delicious! It can get pretty busy but the employees are usually very efficient and friendly. The patio is a great place to enjoy a nice iced beverage on a warm AZ evening! read more

Coffee Rush - Outdoor seating - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

See all

Not sure where to start. Walked in ordered a Venti Sugar Free Vanilla Breve Latte. Mistake. Smart azz barista says they don't have that. Oh ... I'm sorry that is your competitor. So i say 20 oz. I also pointed out that in Seattle (where we have tons of custom roasters) use tall, grande and venti .. The barista replied I am American. I might point out Venti means 20 which may be why it is so common. I notice in Az coffee shops do not use the common terms used by most roasters in Seattle. So i am not sure if he thought i was mexican or what. I was way to shocked to say anything. But reading the other posts (including one about a racist joke) i think the rating is justified based on service at the counter. As for the drink. I don't like Starbucks .. it is burnt, but i would say that the coffee i got was the worst i have ever had. Oh for those who say free wifi. Sorry if you have to buy a drink it is not free. I always buy a drink where ever i use the wifi, so it is not an issue for me, but it is not free. read more

Great coffee with so many different options! Coffee, tea and even Italian soda and all of them are great! One of my favorite coffee shops!

Best place ever! Great coffee with a great atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating with WiFi to relax catch up on work or do the social media thing. read more

I like this place. It's a good spot to get reading, writing, or other busy work done. The only things i didn't like was that i only had internet access for 3 hours - even though i kept ordering food and coffee and there were a LOT of teenagers. read more

Great coffee! The iced caramel macchiato was a delicious treat and I looked forward to enjoying it on the patio on a perfect May evening. Unfortunately, the beautiful patio allows smoking (really?!?). Walking out to the patio is as bad as walking into an airless bar back in the day, even while wearing a current-day mask. This place could very easily be 5 star; great coffee and really friendly baristas, but the patio ruins it all. read more

This place has good frozen coffee drinks and their service is pretty quick and friendly! Would come back!

I had a bad experience with my friends at the coffee rush on valvista so we came to this one and decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed, we got great service! The baristas were really nice and treated us really well, they let you do your thing and don't bother you (unlike the other place). I would recommend coming here if you wanted to do homework with your friends or if you just wanted to come to get coffee read more

I love this place! I just started using the WiFi, to finish some work without the kids bugging me. If I come here, I'm buying a drink anyways, but I've never had a problem getting another WiFi ticket if I run out of time. They have outlets like every 6-7 feet, so you can almost always find a seat close enough to plug in your computer. The owners know you buy name and if there's a long line, by the time you reach the counter, your drink is waiting for you. Yeah... they remember what everyone orders. I feel welcomed and at home when I come here; which is way I go here so frickin often! read more

Indoor and outdoor seating. Great coffee, great baristas, and what I like most is they have sugar free options for their coffee.

everything is very good. Coffee is very tasty and flavorful. Staff is cool and quick. Had some problem with Wi-Fi suggested them to reboot the router after reboot it was fine. There are a lot of users connecting to Wi-Fi which makes it slow sometimes. I would recommend to get better Router, and higher bandwidth. . read more

What is there NOT to say about this place? If you're not getting coffee here, you should be! Our family has been coming here for 3 years and we won't stop anytime soon. The prices are far more reasonable than generic chains and they even do a buy 10, get 1 free punch card (two punches per drink on Mondays). The staff is friendly and remembers you as well as your order. It's primarily run by one family but even the outside employees are just as courteous as the owners. The inside could use some decorating help but if you're here you'll want to use the patio anyway. This is one of three locations too so they're definitely popular and trying to branch out. If you stop by I recommend the caramel rush frost made with ghiradelli caramel flavoring. Beats a frap from Starbucks any day! read more

Fun staff, amazing coffee. Try the caramel mocha frost. I hate the smokers outside... gross! And they ruin the view. I love this location because it's close to Whole Foods. :-) read more

Coffee Rush is a great place. Clean, open, great place to work or catch up with friends. Staff is very friendly and very good at providing the world with the best tasting drinks and snacks. I call them coffee angels and I swear I hear music with the first sip of every coffee I buy from them. Double stamp Monday is a reason to get moving bright and early so I have time to stop before work. I really appreciate this business and it feels like a wonderful indulgent ritual to enjoy at least once a week. read more

I met a friend here on a lazy Monday morning. I'd driven by for years and just hadn't stopped in so we'd thought we'd try it. I had an iced vanilla latte, she had a mocha frost.Very, very good coffee, smooth and rich. The barista's were very nice and made us feel welcomed, even suggested different drinks since we were 1st timers. They also gave us their Punch Card so after so many purchases you get a free drink. Inside is much larger than it looks from the outside with many places to sit but the outdoor patio with fountains was a hit with us. We will definitely return. Thanks Coffee Rush! They also serve Italian Sodas! read more

I just was recently there and Layla was so full of life and definitely made the entire experience. Coffee was amazing and she is very knowledgeable on the drinks! Definitely recommend checking it out! read more

Love watching the "dance" of making the drinks. Super fast service, huge selection. Keep wanting to branch out but end up getting the Tiramisu again and again. read more

I had a small iced mocha, which although it only comes with one shot, he willingly threw in the other shot for free. My boyfriend got a small iced coffee (which already comes with three shots - a great deal)! He was offered the 4th shot for free, which when my boyfriend turned it down, the barista offered to put in my drink! So in essence, we got two small 3-shot coffees for just over $5! What a steal. Besides that, the coffee was delicious. I drink coffee all the time of all kinds from lots of places. This is one of the best I've had. read more

Love the staff. The coffee is so much better. Not over sugared like Starbucks. Everyone is really friendly and out going. Perfect place to relax or get work done. Over heard the boss/owner dressing down one of the employees. The owner told the employee, "you are just a little boy... You work for me... You do what I say..." I only heard bits and pieces of the conversation, and there may have been an issue that needed addressing, but the tone was very demeaning and disrespectful. read more

I spent hours here this semester doing homework. You need to make a purchase to use WiFi, but that kept the speeds high, and really, the prices were more than fair. The staff was friendly and remembered me and service was always very fast even when they were busy. read more

Love the mint mocha frost, these guys make this thing better than anyone!!!! Order this!

Always extremely friendly and the coffee and atmosphere are very nice as well. I like that the owners are frequently there and interacting with patrons in a friendly and pithy manner. It is clear that they enjoy what they do. read more

I love this place! I love to grab a coffee and sit down and read or study. No one bothers you, the coffee is good, and the wifi is fast. It's also great tasting with loads of flavors. They are also so fast. I feel confident stopping on my way to work because they move through lines quickly. The staff is personable and chatty. My favorite spot in town. read more

If you want great coffee with great service, this is the place. The coffee rush is locally owned and operated. All of the staff is very welcoming and go above and beyond to make sure your visit is pleasant. Forget Starbucks, this place is 10 times better with better value for your dollar we drive 10 miles every weekend Just for their coffee. read more
