I visited Rush Espresso not to long ago and loved everything about this place! I personally went for the coffee but this restaurant also serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner along with wine and cocktails. The atmosphere is very warm and inviting and the employees are very friendly and accommodating. When I went I got a cafe vienesse which I had never tried before, but after tasting it as this place I was very pleased. It was just what I was looking for and so far this has been the only coffee shop I have found that sells it in Charlotte. The restaurant is set up with very nice aesthetics and sometimes they even have live music which makes the experience great! I highly recommend trying out this shop!
I don't normally write a place five star. However, in this case I find Rush espresso to be a golden nugget. Had breakfast there this morning and this was my first visit. Needless to say very pleasantly surprised. The staff is friendly knowledgeable courteous and attentive. I ordered the breakfast panini and the presentation alone was enough to impress. You could tell at that moment this is a chef who cares. The bag yet it came on was fresh and almost as good as when you could get in France. The hash browns are like nothing you have seen almost looks like a crab cake but really tasty. I need to try this place for lunch and or dinner as it's hard to find a place like this anywhere. The ambiance or atmosphere is more like a upscale coffee shop. Try it I think you'll like it. Also had a chance to briefly meet the owner really nice guy friendly and obviously quite proud of what he's got here. He should be.
Awesome cafe well worth checking out. Loved it! Choices for the health concious and the indulgent. Mmm. The staff was especially friendly and accommodating with requests of information about the menu as well as desires.
Rush is one of my favorite places in Charlotte. This is not just your average coffee joint with a few pastries to eat or reheated frozen food like the big coffee chains. Instead, not only will you find excellent coffee, but you’ll also get some outstanding breakfast and lunch options that have the presentation and taste of a high-end restaurant. If you go for breakfast, you have to try the eggs Benedict. Here’s a pic of this tasty dish.
